Kamen Rider Wizard: Sky of Infinity
Spell 3: Reunion of Wizard and Strike Witches!
(Last time on Kamen Rider Wizard: Sky of Infinity)
"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.
…
"Thank you, Miyafuji…Taichi." Mio said. "I will be forever in your debt."
…
"I only did because I kept a promise…and you deserve getting a punch in the face for being a complete baka." Tai chuckled.
…
"Taichi, one day I will make you eat your own words…I swear my life on it!" Mio said.
…
"I would like to see you try." Tai amused.
…
"Romagna's 504th Joint Fighter Wing?!" Hijikata said to the soldier. "Witches from the Fuso Navy are in that unit!"
(On current story)
"Sakamoto-san, do you have any ideas of what this could mean?" Yoshika asked.
Mio was looking at the blueprints that were set on the table by Hijikata.
What could this mean, Dr. Miyafuji? Another war is coming… Mio thought as she studied the blueprints. She turns up to look at Yoshika and Taichi.
"I am afraid that I couldn't figure what this means, Miyafuji." Mio said to Yoshika.
"Tai-niichan, what do you think?" Yoshika asked.
However Tai remain quiet as he looks at the blueprints.
"What's wrong, Taichi?" Wizardragon asked to his host.
'I'm still a little shocked that there is letter from Yoshika's father but he supposed to be dead.' Tai said mentally to his inner Phantom.
"Unless there is a chance his death is faked." His inner Phantom said suspiciously.
Tai considered of this possibility since he is actually familiar with people who thought to be dead but they are alive in hidden. He thought back when he saw Ichirou Miyafuji in Mio's Underworlds after stopping the Phantom—
Shisho…It can't be a coincidence? Could he be Ichirou Miyafuji? I always wanted to figure out what he look like under the mask… Tai thought serious. Thinking about his mentor and Ichirou Miyafuji being the same person had starts to creep him out.
But is it possible? He thought.
"Taichi, what is wrong?" Mio asked.
Tai suddenly notices Yoshika, Mio, and Michiko were looking at him.
"I-It's nothing." Tai said to the girls, "So what now, Mio?"
"The Fuso Navy will now commence an emergency operation to assist troops in Europe." Mio 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.
Michiko and Koyomi watched as the military aircraft taking off into the sky, leaving the Fusoian base as it's heading to Europe.
"Is everything alright?" Koyomi asked to Michiko.
"It's nothing, Koyomi-chan." Michiko said as she looks at her Engage Ring.
(Few hours ago)
Tai watched the military soldiers stocked up Yoshika's and Mio's Strikers aboard the military plane which is headed to Romagna.
"Taichi-kun…" Tai turned to look at Michiko who walks slowly to him.
"Michiko, what's wrong?" Tai asked.
"Just to make sure you and Yoshika-chan come out okay Shisho." Michiko said while blushing.
Tai look a little surprised before patting Michiko on the head which makes her blush deeper than before…
"Taichi-kun…"
"Don't worry, we will be alright. You can count on it." Tai said.
(Present)
"We should go back to Wajima-san's shop now." Koyomi patted Michiko's back as she headed back to the antique shop.
"Okay!" Michiko said happily as she follows Koyomi back.
(Unknown Location)
On a beach overlooking the coast, there is the sight of two girls lie on the sands with a tired expression.
"I'm starving…"
"Want a canned ration again?" another voice asked.
"I hate Liberion rations…I want a yummy cooked meal…" Francesca Lucchini whined as she is thinking about proper warm food.
"Don't be crazy Francesca;you know we can't get supplies here." Shirley Yeager sighed as she watches the blue sky above her when Francesca suddenly kicked her legs into the air.
"I hate this! I want Yoshika-chan's cooking! I want it now!" Francesca complained.
"Throwing a tantrum will only make you hungrier." Shirley yawned as she smirked at Francesca.
*BUZZ!*
Before either of them gets a chance to rest, they heard a buzzing noise from the communication radio that Shirley has been carried with them.
"Huh?"
Shirley picked up the radio and answered.
"This is Yeager!" Shirley said as her eyes brimmed with joy as she heard something through the radio. "What?! Really?! Understood! We're on our way!"
Francesca notices Shirley seems happy before she puts down the radio and turns to Francesca, "Good news, Lucchini! We're getting supplies from Fuso!"
"Hooray! Real yummy foods!" Francesca jumped with joy.
(On a plane)
"We are currently above the Adriatic Sea! The pilot said it'll be another hour until we arrive at the Romagnan base!" Hijikata said.
"Hmm…" Mio is in deep thought as Hijikata informed them.
"Whew, we can finally get off this plane…" Yoshika sighed with relief that they'll be landing soon after being stuck inside the airplane for the duration of the flight from Fuso to Romagna.
"You two are getting soft on the trip because of a simple flight like this?" she asked with a smirk on her face.
"I'm sorry." Yoshika apologizes.
"In my defense Mio, riding on a plane like this for a long time can gives us unwanted cramps…where I come from it would be a soft, calm flight and not rough and shaky flight like this." Tai said as he feels his back a bit sore.
"Sohma, why did you come with us?" Hijikata asked, "Don't you have duties in Fuso?"
"I'm here to make sure this idiot doesn't go suicidal on us." Tai said pointed to Mio, "But I'm mostly here to look after Yoshika."
"I see…" Hijikata said. But he has a feeling that Tai had helped his Major and feel grateful towards him.
"Excuse me but why are you two been friendly with each other?" Mio asked, looking suspicious at them as sherecalls having Hijikata to watch over Tai.
"It's classified information." Tai simply nodded as so as Hijikata.
Before Mio could interrogate them, she is interrupted with the pilot's announcement, "Radar has picked up an unidentified aircraft! It's approaching rapidly!" the pilot said.
"What?!" the rest are surprised to hear the sudden announcement as the former Digidestined sensed danger as well as he spot the familiar red light and knows what it means.
"Oh no!"
Suddenly the plane began to start shake violentlyas the passenger's struggles to hold on to their seats.
"What the hell was that?!" Mio asked.
"Unidentified craft is attacking! Engine number 1 is hit!" The pilot reported.
"Shit! That thing is getting close!" the co-pilot cursed as they seemed to saw something from their cockpit.
Soon everyone in the plane heard a familiar shriek as a large black ship with red glowing eyes coming toward them.
"It can't be…?" Hijikata said.
"A Neuroi!" Tai and Yoshika said in unison.
"Yoshika!" Tai said as he caught Yoshika with his hands to prevent her from falling down.
"Thank you, Tai-niichan." Yoshika thanked the former Digidestined as she tried to sit properly again.
"Mio, where is the Neuroi?!" Tai asked to Mio.
Mio using her magic eye and look out from the window.
"Neuroi confirmed! Distance approximately 12,000 meters!" Mio said, "Damn! They've extended their reach this far already?!"
Suddenly the plane shook hard again, causing the passengers to knock out of their seats and Tai suddenly smells blood as turned to look at the bleeding Hijikata.
"Hijikata-san!" Tai and Yoshika said as they saw Hijikata on the floor with a painful wound on his head that starts to bleed.
Yoshika get up from Tai's arms and going to help the wounded soldier as she activates her healing magic on the wounded soldier.
Hijikata starts to breathe slowly after Yoshika active her magic.
"Hijikata… please stay with us man!" Tai said to Hijikata.
Don't forget your promise… Tai thought as he looked towards Hijikata.
"Don't worry…I'm going to go down that easily." Hijikata grinned as he begins to recover which make Tai smilesas he knows this soldier hasn't given up yet.
"I see you have improved." Tai said to Yoshika.
Her magic energy is stable now. You've really improved, Miyafuji! Mio thought impressed by the sight.
"We need to evade them for now! Let's drop altitude to lose them!" Mio shout to the pilots.
"Understood!" the pilots replied as Mio rushed to the cockpit and asks, "How does it look?! Can we shake them?!" Mio asked.
"We'll do everything we can, ma'am!" The pilot said.
"We're counting on you!" Mio said.
"Sakamoto-san!" Mio turned around to look at Yoshika.
"Did you think I was going to go out there?" Mio asked while she still tries to figure out how the ring works.
"Don't worry!" She assured Yoshika, "We're going to evade for now and wait for local Witch reinforcements!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Yoshika said smiling.
Not far from where the aircraft are located,there were dozens of Allied Navy Destroyers patrolling the coast.
"Neuroi spotted dead-ahead!" Scout shouted as he saw the Neuroi from his binocular.
"All ships at full speed, bearing down on the enemy Neuroi!" The captain with grey beard said.
"Aye Captain! All ships to full speed!"
"Prepare for battle stations!" Captain ordered.
"Commence fire!" All Destroyers turned their cannons clockwise and their target is the Neuroi.
The bearded Captain took off his binocular after seeing the Neuroi blown to bit.
"Witness the power of the anti-large Neuroi incendiary shells!" The bearded Captain said before ordered his crew.
"Ready the armor-piercing shells!" the Captain ordered as crewmen's began loading another round into their cannon.
(With Tai and others)
"I didn't see that coming…" Tai said as he watched the Destroyer's fired at the Neuroi from the window, he has heard quite some time about the military developed an anti-Neuroi munitions while he was travelling around the world hunting Phantoms.
"What was that?!" Mio asked as she and Yoshika come beside Tai.
Soon they watched again as the Destroyers cannons fired more shells at the Neuroi.
"Wow…" Yoshika muttered as she saw the Neuroi is covered with smokes from the explosive shells and then asked, "Did they win?"
"Those armaments can't take down a large-sized Neuroi!" Mio explained. "Its size makes it seem like its taking damage, but they aren't reaching to its core!"
Soon the three watched as the Neuroi fired one concentrated beam on one of the Destroyers, causing to explode violently.
"It took out a Destroyer!" Tai was terrified as he saw the Neuroi simply blasted through the Destroyer like it was nothing.
"Where are the Romagnan Witches?!" Mio shouted as the Neuroi decided to make another pass to attack.
"Major! I requested help from Romagna's 1st Fighter Wing," Hijikata sat closed to the nearby Radio. "But they say we are out of their flight range!"
"Out of their range?!" Mio said as they saw another Destroyer has been sent into the bottom of the sea.
"Aaahh! Another ship!" Yoshika muttered as the Destroyer sunk.
"They're taking too long to escape! They're sitting ducks!" Mio said.
"The nearby 504thFighter Wing is unable to fight after yesterday's battle!" Hijikata informed them, "There are no Witch units available that can arrive within thirty minutes!"
"Thirty minutes?! We'll be wiped out in five!" Mio looks horrified by Hijikata's information; she knew if they are to wait for that duration of time, they would all be shot down.
"Wiped out?!" Yoshika then felt fear inside her as she also realized that without any help, they all would die.
"I will go out there." Tai told the rest with a serious look on his face.
"What?!" The rest are shocked at what Tai will going to do.
"Taichi, are you out of your mind?!" Mio said as she cannot believe Tai would make a stupid decision like that.
"I can't sit aside while people out there are dying because of that Neuroi." Tai replied firmly as he clenched his fists.
"But you don't have flight training against the Neuroi!" Mio tried to reason with him but instead, Tai could only smile.
"You don't know what I've been doing after everyone went their separate ways, Mio." Tai grinned with a look that he knows what he is doing.
"What are you…?" Mio can't be sure if Tai is lying or not since they haven't seen each other for months.
"Tai-niichan… if you go out there…" Yoshika worried even though she knows he is capable of flying into the sky on his own but he never face a real Neuroi other than the corrupted Warlock unit.
"Don't worry Yoshika, I won't going down easier like before with the Warlock,besides…I'm going to make them eat their words about men can't fly." Tai said smirking at Yoshika.
"Then I'm coming with you! I want to fight too!" Yoshika gives a glare of determination at Tai.
"Hahahaha!" Tai and Yoshika turned to see Mio laughing.
"What's so funny?" Tai asked.
"It seems you two look more like brothers and sisters you know." Mio smirked at them "All right, Taichi and Miyafuji! I am counting on you two!"
Tai could only smile as he crossed his arms and nods at Mio.
"Hai!" Yoshika said.
"Miyafuji! Take the lead and draw the Neuroi away from our Allied fleet! Taichi, you try to get the fleets away from the fight. I'll go after the core from the rear!" Mio issued the order as Tai and Yoshika doing a last minute preparation.
"DRIVER, ON! PLEASE!"
Tai equipped his Water Dragon ring and Yoshika getting on her Strikers.
"Hai!" Tai and Yoshika said.
"Cleared to fly Miyafuji! Good Luck!" Mio said as shewalked to the door of the plane as she opened it up for Tai and opening the rear ramp of the plane for Yoshika to take off to.
Tai jumped off the plane at the same time Yoshika taking off into the air from the rear ramp of the plane.
"Henshin!" Tai said.
"WATER DRAGON…!"
(Play Kamen Rider Wizard: Mystic Liquid)
Soon water from the ocean beneath him had gone up to merged with him as the former Chosen of Courage passed through a magic circle and transformed into Wizard Water Dragon Style.
Hijikata and the engineer look shocked at Tai's transformation.
"I never thought something like that is possible…" The engineer said.
"Heh, I won't be surprised if he got a tail as well." Hijikata commented which the engineer agreed with him.
His transformation completed as he dived into the water.
"Tai-niichan! Sakamoto-san! Are you two alright?" Yoshika's voice through the communicators.
"I'm fine." Wizard said, looking from above. "But watch out for the laser beam heading towards you!"
The Neuroi trying to fire another beam at the aircraft but Yoshika intervened by placing a larger barrier in front of the aircraft.
"Her shield is large…" Hijikata muttered in awe.
"This shows how powerful she is!" Mio looked proudly at Yoshika before the engineer interrupts her.
"Major!" The engineer looking up from his works, "The magic charger has been damaged! The Shinden-kai can't fly!"
"What?! What do you mean it can't fly!?" Mio was shocked to hear her Striker unit is out of commission, her only hope is that Yoshika and Tai could hold until reinforcements come.
(With Shirley and Francesca)
Shirley and Francesca were on their Strikers as they start sing about food.
"Food! Food!"
"Supplies! Supplies!"
"Fuso Food!"
Piping hot food!"
"Rice and octopus Carpaccio!"Shirley and Francesca sang together in union but it wasn't until Shirley become sick when hearing octopus.
"Blech. No octopus for me, thank you…" Shirley said with a sick face.
"Huh? But octopus is yummy…!" Francesca said. This makes Shirley even sicker.
"How can you eat it? It's all squirmy and stuff…" Shirley said.
"Being squirmy and sticky is what makes it great!" Francesca said.
The Allied fleet has a problem of their own as most of their ships have either been damaged or sunk by the Neuroi and their situation didn't fare any better.
"The Venier received severe damage! It took out our engine!" said one of the Captain's aides informed as he just received status report about the ships condition.
"The engine output is falling rapidly! At this rate, we'll be dead in the water!" the helmsman of the ship said as he saw the power indicator is falling dangerously low.
"Damn! Is there nothing we can do?!" The bearded Captain slammed his fists on the desk of his command bridge as he felt useless to do anything to stop the Neuroi.
"Captain! There's a Witch!" one of the sailors observed the arrival of one single Witch.
"What?!A Witch!?" The bearded Captain gawked as he and his admiral look out the window as they saw something come at high speed.
"A sun-and-moon emblem with a white background on the Striker Unit! It's a Fuso Witch!" The Captain was surprised to even see a Fuso Witch which seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"Fuso?!"
"It's a Witch! A Witch is here!" another voice shouts.
"Witch reinforcements!"
"Could anyone figure out which unit she comes from?!" Another officer shouted as he tries to contact their HQ about the developing situation.
Yoshika hurry on her Strikers and put up another large barrier when the Neuroi fired another laser beam at the Allied fleet.
"Incredible…" The bearded captain said.
"Sir! Something comes out of the water!"
Yoshika wasn't the only thing that surprised them as they suddenlysaw Wizard emerged from the water and summon anenormous orb of water.
"Yoshika! Get back!" Wizard said as his body suddenly began to glow. "Poseidon Force!"
Wizard hurls the large ball of water straight at the Neuroi and hit directly at the black ship in the sky.
"Who or what is that?" Bearded Captain muttered as heis speechless at the sight of the attack.
"Hey! Get away from here while we keep it occupied!" a male voice coming from the transmitter.
"Like he said, please get away from here!" the Witch also tried to persuade the Captain and his ships to get away from the Neuroi.
"That is absurd! We can't leave you two fighting alone!" The bearded Captain shouts back as he couldn't bear to see the two fighting alone while they're escaping.
"Captain! We have no other means to fightback now!" His officersreasoned with him.
"Don't let your pride getting to you! Your crew safety is important first!" the male voice shouts through the transmitter.
"But who are you? How can you communicate with us?" The bearded Captain asked as he and the others want to know the name of the man who warned them.
"My name? It's Kamen Rider Wizard!"
"Kamen Rider Wizard…" the Captain muttered before he let out a sigh and smiled.
"All right, if we stay here we would only get in their way." The bearded Captain the gives out the order, "All ships, bring about! Retreat in full speed!"
Soon Wizard and Yoshika saw the fleets are turning around as they retreating from the fight. Feeling that the fleet is safe for now, Wizard activated the power of water within his body as he helped the ship moving faster away from the Neuroi's presence.
(Song end)
That will be far enough…Wizard thought before looking back to the sky where Yoshika is still evading the Neuroi attacks which also causes a near miss at her.
"Yoshika, I'm coming!" Wizard said as he quickly switched his Water Dragon ring with the Hurricane Dragon ring.
"HURRICANE DRAGON!"
Wizard jumped to the green magic circle above him and transformed into Hurricane Dragon Style as he flies higher into the sky.
"Tai-niichan!" Yoshika said as she watches Wizard now airborne.
The Neuroi spotted Wizard as it fires its laser at the ring-bearer Kamen Rider however Wizard dodged the laser before taking out his Special Ring and puts it on his driver.
"VERY, NICE! FABULOUS!"
Spreading out from Wizard's back were the large Drago Wings just in time for Wizard tododge another laser attack and he comes flying toward the Neuroi as his draconic wings glowing with green aura.
"I hope you like this!" Wizard said as he sliced the Neuroi's left side and the effect was devastating with the slash went through the Neuroi's tough armor as Wizard flew passed the giant black ship creature with the ensuing explosion take place.
Yoshika watched the scene with amazement since she knows Wizard's wings are quite sharp to cut anything down but something else caught her attention.
"Ah! Sakamoto-san!" Yoshika looked horrified as she saw Sakamoto Mio without her Striker Unit.
"What the-" Wizard suddenly look up as well.
What the hell is she doing?! Wizard and Yoshika thought panicking in unison.
Mio jumped off the plane with her ring glowing.
(With Mio)
It time to see what this ring could do… Mio thought as she noticed the ring Tai given to her is starting to glow.
"Let's go." Mio said before jumping off the sky.
Suddenly blue light emerged in Mio's hand and transformed into a large blue katana made out of pure energy and Mio gripped the energy katana as she was heading for the Neuroi.
Mio saw Wizard managed to cause an explosion to the side of the Neuroi and decide to head for the middle area.
"Take this!" Mio said slashed the Neuroi in the middle.
The slash cuts through the Neuroi and causing multiple explosions across the giant Neuroi's husks.
Not bad… Mio looking at the ring in her finger before continued falling. But her fate was saved by a green blur that caught her from drowning into the sea.
"Mio… what in the world were you thinking!?" Wizard said to the Fusoian Witch with his anger coated voice.
"Sakamoto-san!" Yoshika said as she arrived besides Wizard.
"Sorry for being late you two, the Shinden-kai were out of commission…for now." Mio explained with a grin.
"Still, it was too reckless!" Yoshika scolded her fellow Fusoian Witch.
"And this is why I have to watch out for you because you are suicidal moron!" Wizard groaned as Mio give smirk at Wizard's words.
"Hmm? Taichi, I have to admit but I do like this ring…it's not bad." Mio said as she looks at the ring in her finger, "I figure out it can channel the mana in the surroundings to my control."
"Hey Tai-niichan! When did you learn how to fly like that?" Yoshika asked even though she sees him after going back to school once in a while but she didn't recall seen him doing it.
"Well… I actually didn't stay in Fuso—" But Wizard suddenly become quiet as he stares at the ocean where the Neuroi have fallen and realized that something worse is going to happen, "Shit! We have to move!" He said to the girls.
"What?!" Mio and Yoshika look shocked at Wizard's words.
Suddenly burst from the water are the Neuroi pieces as they reforming back together once more but this time transformed into a familiar giant spider like creature in Wizard's mind.
"The Neuroi?!" Yoshika said.
It looks like Infermon… Wizard thought as he remembers a Digimon he once fought.
"I see its design…It's a regeneration type." Mio said as she used her magic eye.
(Play Sword Art Online Music Extended - Confront Battle)
The Neuroi activated its golden eyes and focused on Wizard and the girls but the Wizard has this strange feeling it's after him for some reason.
"Yoshika, I want you to take Mio and get out of here!" Wizard handed Mio to Yoshika before the Neuroi unleashed its attack.
"Hell's Grenade!" The Neuroi fire several small blasts of laser from its muzzle, the witches and Wizard splits away from the Neuroi's incoming attack which missed them.
"Tai-niichan!" Yoshika said.
"Miyafuji! We need to get back the plane!" Mio shouts to Yoshika, she wants to help Wizard as well but without the Strikers, she couldn't do anything.
But what is going on here? Mio thought as she sensed something unusual in the fight.
"CONNECT, PLEASE!"
Wizard grabbed his WizarSwordGun from his dimension pocket before looking at the Neuroi Infermon.
"Network Grenade!" Neuroi Infermon's body turned into a cocoon like form with its limbs retracted back into its body.
Wizard soon dodged the incoming Neuroi when it comes straight charging at him. Wizard turned around to see Yoshika coming toward his side.
"Taichi! Miyafuji! The Neuroi core is in the middle of the chest! Blast opens it and destroys it!" Mio said.
"Yoshika! I'm going to attack from above while you're going under!" Wizard said to Yoshika.
"Hai!" Yoshika nodded.
Wizard and Yoshika soon take off flying after the Neuroi Infermon which is in the sky.
(With Mio)
Mio was using her magic eye again as she watched the battle from the plane and coordinating Wizard's and Yoshika's effort in battling the Neuroi.
"I see the design! Miyafuji! The Core is moving!" Mio shouted as she gives an order, "It's on the right tip now! Don't let it get away!"
"What's the Shiden-kai's status?!" Mio asked to the engineer.
The engineer seems to be working fast as he could to repair the Strikers.
"Five minutes should do it!" The engineer said.
"It's only needs to fly! You have three minutes!" Mio ordered before looking back at the fight.
"I got this one!" Wizard shooting at the Neuroi's back and caused a few explosions before reaching him. Wizard pulled out the Thunder Ring and used it.
"VERY NICE, THUNDER! FABULOUS!"
Wizard Hurricane Dragon's body began to cover with electricity.
"Let's go…" Wizard said.
Wizard soon flying circled around the Neuroi after it landed in water whensuddenly dark grey clouds looming over the Neuroi before lightning bolts struck the Neuroi in all placesuntil powerful lighting hits the Neuroi.
"Hell's Grenade!"
The Neuroi's entire body fires at the thunderstorm above it to break free from Wizard's attack. Yoshika spots the Neuroi Core as trying to escape from the damaged part of the Neuroi armor.
"The Neuroi Core!" Yoshika said as she went pursuing after it with her rifle in focused.
"Miyafuji! Look out!" Mio shout but her warning comes later as the Neuroi unleashed a laser beam at the young witch.
Wizard pushed Yoshika out of the way and the lasers hit Wizard's Drago Wing. His wing suddenly disappear and Wizard falling toward ocean.
"Tai-niichan!" Yoshika said as she going after him.
"Taichi!" Mio shout.
"Hang on, Tai-niichan!" Yoshika said as she got him in her arms.
"I'm fine…" Wizard assured her but he still can feel the pain from his burnt wings.
(Song end)
Yoshika helped Wizard up as they suddenly saw a bright light hit through the Neuroi Infermon just now.
"That attack…" Wizard muttered before he realized who it was.
"Yahoo!" A familiar voice said.
Mio saw the attack and immediately knowing what it belonged to.
"Could it be?" Mio said as she was looking to the sky as well.
It looks like the tide has turned for them.
"Shirley!" Wizard and Yoshika said in unison when spotting their old friend.
"Yahooo!" Shirley said before flying passed them and going after the Neuroi.
Soon they see another familiar face coming by their side with a big smile.
"Ciao, Yoshika-chan! Tai!" Francesca said.
"Lucchini-chan!" Yoshika said.
"Did you see?! Every shot of mine hit it!" Francesca said happily.
"Hell's Grenade!" The Neuroi roared unleashed laser beams from its mouth right now as this caused everyone to scatter.
"What the hell with this Neuroi?!" Shirley complained as she continued firing at it.
Wizard slowly lets go of Yoshika and got out his Special Ring.
"I will try to find a weak point." Wizard said.
"VERY, NICE! SPECIAL! FABULOUS!"
Soon Wizard's Drago Wings returned and the magician rider head to the sky.
"Network Grenade!"
The Neuroi soon followed Wizard into the sky after turning into its cocoon form.
"Hey! Why is it after Tai?" Francesca asked as even Shirley seems to be confused by this as well.
"I don't know…" Yoshika said.
"We're going to need more help against this!" Shirley said.
"Hell's Grenade!"
Wizard dodged multiple lasers coming from his back before doing a backward dive towards the Infermon Neuroi.
Wizard trying to slash the Neuroi with his Drago Wings but his wing seems to be less effective against the Neuroi's tough armor.
It just likes the real Infermon… Wizard thought.
The Neuroi reacted its limbs and climb on top of cloud and it was able to firing another laser at Wizard. However, the Neuroi got hits by a magic enchanted bullet from out of nowhere.
"That's…" Wizard said.
"An anti-tank rifle!" Francesca surprised as she saw the shots.
"Which means…!" Yoshika turned and look up into the sky to see a familiar face in the air.
"Lynne-chan!" Yoshika said with a big smile on her face.
"Yoshika-chan!" Lynne said as she and Yoshika hug each other in reunion with each other for the first time however, she wasn't the only one who Yoshika is happy to see here.
"Don't get too emotional yet, we've got a Neuroi to kill." Perrine smirked as she readying her weapon.
The Neuroi jump down from the cloud before unleashed multiple deadly lasers.
"Hell's Grenade!"
"Everyone shields up!" Wizard yelled.
"DEFEND, PLEASE!"
Wizard and the witches activated their shields to defend themselves from the attack as the Neuroi continue to attack; a barrage stream of rockets suddenly appears and hits the Neuroi's head.
"Rockets?" Perrine was curious at who's firing the rockets.
"Its looks like you guys could use some hands!" A familiar voice said.
Flying above the sky were Eila and Sanya in their Strikers ready to join their comrades for a fight.
"Sanya-chan!" Yoshika was ecstatic to see her other friends arrived.
"Eila-chan here as well?" Wizard also surprised to see Eila also coming to help them.
"Are the repairs finished?!" Mio asked.
"One more minute!" The engineer told her as he tried his hard to repair the Striker Unit.
"Major! Look!" Hijikata pointed at the Neuroi as its doing something weird.
He and Mio turned to look at the Neuroi as its body began to glowing right now and starts to shrink.
What is going on? Mio thought.
Wizard suddenly has a familiar déjà vu of this sight and realized what is going on.
If this is same as an Infermon, then I will beat it before it can happen! Wizard thought as he charged directly after it.
"Tai-niichan!" Yoshika said.
"What is he doing?" Eila wondered.
Wizard hurries and took out his Drill Ring right now as he uses the ring.
"DRILL, PLEASE!"
Wizard transformed into a mini twister and hits the Neuroi's in the chest when the Neuroi come out in a new form which Wizard are quite familiar with. As it recall bad memory to him.
"Diaboromon…" Wizard said to this new transformed Neuroi.
"Cable Crusher!" The Neuroi roared as it punched Wizard in the face which caused Wizard to be thrown back.
"Tai-niichan!" Yoshika gasped. The girls trying to face against the Neuroi before it jumped away from their attack.
"What in the world is that?!" Shirley was shocked to see the Neuroi changed shape.
"We need to be carefully!" Eila shout to everyone.
The Neuroi turned to look at the witches with hollow look.
"Web Wrecker!" The Neuroi fired a powerful beam from its chest and the blast at them but Wizard took out his Defend Ring and uses it on his driver.
"DEFEND, PLEASE!"
A green magic circle appears before him and taking in the attack from the Neuroi.
"Eat this!" Wizard shouts as his magic circle suddenly glowing and fired back the attack with the power of hurricane at the Neuroi which is hit it hard and thrown back across the ocean.
"Are you alright?" Shirley asked.
"I'm fine, Shirley… but the fight isn't over yet." Wizard said as he suspected that the Neuroi would come back to attack them and he was right as the Neuroi emerged once more from the ocean before it coming charging at Wizard.
"Cable Crusher!" The Neuroi stretched its arm and launched its huge clawed hands to slash at Wizard but Wizard dodged the attack.
"CONNECT, PLEASE!"
Wizard took out his WizarSwordGun in Sword form and opened the hand author.
"COPY, PLEASE!"
With dual swords in his hands, Wizard charged at the Neuroi and slashed off one of its arm off before colliding with another claw aimed to strike him down.
Suddenly barrage of bullets hit the Neuroi from the side as this forced the Neuroi back and Wizard turned to see three familiar faces from above.
"Minna…" Wizard said.
"It's seems that everyone here now…" Minna said while turned to Wizard which she smiled at him.
"Barkhorn-san!" Yoshika said.
"Hartmann?" Perrine asked.
Erica grins as she gave them a mock salute, "Hey guys, did we miss anything?"
"You're just come at the right time Erica-chan." Wizard said amusing as he turns his attention to the Neuroi back.
Its looks like the whole Strike Witches here… Wizard thought before his sight focused on the Neuroi right.
(Play Kamen Rider Wizard: Blessed Wind)
The Neuroi fired a barrage of laser beams at everyone but instead they all dodged as Wizard charges head on with blinding speed.
"HURRICANE! SLASH STRIKE!" Both WizarSwordGuns glows with the energy of the wind elements and Wizard immediately slashed the Neuroi's face, throwing it back as he continued to shred the Neuroi with his blades.
"Web Wrecker!" The Neuroi roar unleashing its own attack.
Wizard soon slashed the beam in half with his dual blades which splits in half.
"Don't forget about us!" Eila shouts at Wizard as she also comes down to attack.
"Only if you can keep up!" Wizard said to the girls as all of them began to dive down and attack the Neuroi.
(With Mio)
"Major! The Shinden-kai is ready!" Hijikata said.
"All right!"Mio soon got on her Strikers as her magic aura with her ring is activated.
"Output normal! Clear to go!" The engineer shouts.
"Mio Sakamoto, take off!"
Shirley and Francesca started their advanced attack on the Neuroi with a double team attack, Francesca activated her magic and hit forward against the Neuroi in the stomach with Shirley caught Francesca before the Neuroi got attack by Minna then followed up with Perrine's lightning magic. The Neuroi recovered rapidly before going into the cloud to get away from Lynette's sniper attack however, Eila and Sanya were in pursuit from the behind through the cloud and the Neuroi tries to fire back but it didn't help itas it faced Wizard and Erica whom attacking it using their wind magic to hit the Neuroi in the stomach. Gertrude then fired her double machineguns from above the Neuroi before using her own weapons as a bashing clubs while she's activating her strength magic.
Wizard saw Mio flying ahead of the group and joined her.
"Don't think I will let you have the fun." Wizard said which in turn Mio only give a grin as they flew up in the sky together.
"What are they doing?!" Gertrude asked.
"Major Sakamoto-san!" Perrine said.
"Taichi! Mio!" Minna said.
The Neuroi saw this and fired a massive Neuroi beam at them, "Web Wrecker!" as it unleash the attack on them.
However the attack is blocked when a blue barrier formed around Wizard and Mio as this caught the girls by surprise.
"A Witch barrier!" Lynne said.
"But how?" Eila asked.
"Did Tai have something to do with it?" Sanya wondered curious.
"Sakamoto-san can form a Witch barrier!?" Yoshika are also surprise at how easy Mio creates her barrier.
"Eat this!" Mio said as she and Wizard slashed the Neuroi with their swords.
The Neuroi was overwhelmed by the energy of the magic users before falling down and exploded.
(Song end)
"T-They managed to slice down the Neuroi!" Gertrude said.
"But the magic barrier, it wasn't Taichi-kun…" Erica said.
Meanwhile watching the battle from afar was the bearded Captain of Allied Fleet and his aide.
"They did it…" The aide said.
"So those are the Strike Witches…" The bearded Captain said, crossing his arms.
"Huh?! The same Witch Squad that freed Gallia?!" The aide responded in shocked.
"Yes, the 501stJoint Fighter Wing." The bearded Captain continued, "The legendary Witches have descended upon the Adriatic Sea… but they have a guardian with them." He said with an amusing tone.
"Huh? A guardian?" His aide asked confused.
"It's just a hunch." The bearded Captain said before heading back into his command post.
It looks like there is still hope for men in this world to catch up with the witches… The bearded Captain thought as he never felt such joy since his youth.
"Everyone…"
If someone could imagine that this was an anime, one could see Mio's forehead twitched as she is irritated after everyone except for Tai wanted to know how she was able to uses a barrier without it breaking and they also has to talk with Taichi if he knows anything too.
After they landed somewhere near Romagna, Tai have to be the one to explain the situation with Yoshika's help.
"S-Sakamoto-san trying to commit suicide?!" Perrine shocked and disgusted at the news that her beloved Major even considering about doing such thing!
"But why is it suicide?" Gertrude asked confused.
"It's an old forbidden technique that only Fuso Witches know about." Yoshika becoming serious as she told about what Mio has done during her absence.
"What…?" They have complete shock look on their faces before looking at Mio who seems to be irritated.
"Really?" Eila asked interested. "But how did she use a witch barrier without it breaking apart? I heard Witches magic would become ineffective as they reached the age of 20 and above." she replies.
Tai decided to tell everything after learning from his mentor about forbidden techniqueand the fight between him and Mio that ended him slugging her in the face before the Phantom attacks but the only thing he and Yoshika left out was Hijikata who is the one to inform them about Mio's situation what they didn't expect that both of them notices the girls awed look after hearing their account.
"Wow…" Erica said.
"Y-You punch Sakamoto? Unbelievable!" Gertrude gawked, she always knows Tai is manlier to do crazy thing but punching Mio in the face have amazed her.
Minna have surprised on her face when hearing about Mio's attempted suicide technique even though, she failed at persuading Mio to give up fighting before but Tai once again, have done something completely surprise to her and everyone in saving Mio.
"It was for her own good before we allowed her near the Strikers ever." Yoshika explained even though, Mio is safe from doing anything suicidal, she still worried about Mio's brash behavior.
"But why do you have to do it?" Perrine confused only to make Tai sighed as he explain again.
"Because nothing good coming from people who are suicidal idiots, the only way to reach their thick skulls like Mio here…is by punching her to the face." Tai crossed his arms as he glared at Mio.
Mio scoffed, "Don't remind me!"
Perrine opened her mouth to retort when the obvious struck her, and she stiffened. "I see…so that is the only way huh."
"Uh-huh." Tai and Yoshika said in unison.
"But why did you guys come here? Didn't you two decided to leave the Military and do whatever you wanted to do?" Francesca asked curiously at the ring-bearer magician and the young Fusoian Witch.
"We want to make sure that Sakamoto-san here won't become suicidal again and it one of doctor's job to keep their patient in check." Yoshika said calmly in a matured tone.
"So how are you guys here?" Tai asked.
"We were worried about Romagna, so we rushed here!" Francesca said.
"Umm, well, we were supposed to leave for Suomus," Eila said, nervously, "But we took the wrong train and ended up at the Adriatic Sea…"
"Eila's fortunetelling said there was trouble here, so…we're here!" Sanya said happily as Eila began to blush redder than a tomato.
"You really hadn't change, Eila-chan." Tai said, give a genuine smile that could make Eila's heart melt.
"S-Shut up!" Eila blushed and Sanya could only smile at her companion.
"So Tai, what have you been doing back in Fuso exactly? Fighting Phantom?" Shirley asked her male companion.
"Well, I didn't actually stay in Fuso to look for Phantoms." Tai said. This caught the girls' attention when they all look at him.
"What do you mean?" Lynne asked.
"I was crossing the different Nations to fight the Phantoms that trying to enter other Witch Fighter Wings…and occasionally to help them repel Neuroi raids as well." Tai scratched his head and laughed nervously.
"Really?!" Yoshika asked. "Is that why you gone most of the months?"
"Yep," Tai nodded in response. "I befriend with witches like Hanna Rudel, Ayaka Kuroe, Raisa Pottegen… well I have to say that I meet a lot of witches while staying at different Fighter Wings."
This caused the girls to jaw dropped when they heard news of Tai seeing other witches beside them especially some that they know well.
"You meet Rudel?" Erica asked.
"Taichi… you were busy all this time?" Mio said as she looked at Tai with a bit of respect.
"Well… I did get the benefits of seeing interesting reactions from witches when it comes to the Engage Rings and flying training." Tai smirked as he remembers his traveling around the world.
Tai suddenly turned toward Eila with an odd look.
"Also I think I meet someone who I think is a relative to you. Do you know a person by the name Aurora?" Tai asked which caused Eila to freeze at the mentioning of that name.
"Y-You meet my older sister?!" Eila gawked. Sanya and others look at Eila in surprised when they never know she have an older sister.
"That explains the resemblance…" Tai muttered his thought out loud which only makes Eila more embarrassed and her face reddened.
"Well, I didn't think you having an older sister, Eila-san." Yoshika said to Eila.
Eila having the thought of the man who she has feeling for and her older sister meeting together sound shocking to her.
"I never saw a ring like this…" Minna studied Mio's ring, "This ring is different…" She wasn't lying either becauseshe can felt a powerful magic resides in this ring.
"I have to admit but this a very useful ring." Mio admitted herself as she feels that she was at the peak of her power during her young days as a Witch.
"It allows Mio to uses mana from her surrounding and preventing the loss of magic from her." Tai explained but then, it clicks something in the girls mind after hearing his explanation and all of them suddenly look at Tai silently with a hint of awe.
"…"
Their stares suddenly make Tai felt a little uncomfortable right now.
"What's wrong?" Tai is currently confused with the now silent atmosphere.
"Wait… does that mean-" Eila starting to looks disbelief.
"Whoa…" Perrine said.
"Oh my…" Lynne gasped.
"Y-you solved the problem that many Witches and Scientists never figured out!" Gertrude said incredible.
"Tai solved the loss of magic problem!" Francesca said happily.
It takes Tai a moment to process before looking at the girls in disbelief, "W-What?! No! It wasn't me! It's my mentor who figures it out!" Tai said, "I can't take the credit!"
"But you used it to save Mio's life! It should count as something Tai." Minna said as Tai avoided Minna's eyes and looking away.
"S-Sorry but I can't accept it. I only save Mio from herself because it's a promise I made." Tai said.
The auburn haired girl walks slowly toward him. "I'm happy to see you again, Tai." Minna said softly as she suddenly embraced him.
"Yeah, I'm glad to see you all well." Tai spoke quietly as he returned her hug. It has been months since Tai have seen the girls especially the feeling of been hugged by them starts to make feel calm now.
Every Witch at present could only smile as their reunion is quite a joyful one and they sensed that this is only the beginning of a new adventure waiting for them in the future.
