Kamen Rider Wizard: Sky of Infinity
Spell 4: Wizard's Farwell? Don't say Goodbye! Berserker Dancing Dragons!
It was a normal late night in a forest but this isn't just a normal forest with birds, animals, and bugs thriving on their own. It was anything, BUT normal since there are something more sinister takes place inside it.
"Ngh…Agh…" three men in military uniforms moaned in pain as purple cracks traced all over their bodies, illuminating the campsite where they lay. Before them were broken machines and burned papers beyond their reach.
"To think I find them here…it's most interesting indeed." Medusa sniffed, impressed by her only work.
"No…" One of the men moaned again in despair.
"That's right…fall into despair…give birth to a new Phantoms!" Medusa rejoiced.
The man gave another look at Medusa before he fell beside his companions. Soon their body's glows in purplish flash before exploded into black ashes. Left behind the ashes was three new Phantoms which gave off a breath of relief as they stretching themselves and finally kneels in front of Medusa.
"At last… I'm free!" The first Phantom said.
"Never thought I see the world after being trapped inside…" The second Phantom said.
The third Phantom however turned his attention to Medusa, "Thanks to you Medusa-sama."
"Welcome to the world." Medusa nodded. "Come with me, it's time for you to meet Wiseman-sama."
"Wiseman-sama…? Who is he?" The first Phantom asked.
"He is our great leader and will bring change to the world." Medusa smiled.
"Is he strong?" The second Phantom asked.
"Don't question Wiseman-sama's strength…Or you will face me." Medusa glared. This caused the three newborn Phantoms to look a little fearfully of Medusa.
"Y-Yes Medusa-sama…we won't." The second Phantom whimpered.
"When do we meet him?" The third Phantom asked.
"Soon, my boys…soon." Medusa said. "But it's time we must get going."
Medusa activated her magic as she and the newborn Phantoms disappeared from sight.
"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.

And finally, sitting alongside Tai… is Flame Dragon.

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.

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.
Mio was facing an odd situation and no, it isn't about the Neuroi or a Phantom…but in form of a friend after she and Yoshika come to pick up supplies from a military post.
"Mio! When did you get these?" Junko Takei asked her friend, she has light brown hair and wearing a Fusoan Navy Officer Uniform like Mio to add more, she was an old acquaintance of Mio during training days.
Right now, Junko looking shocked at the rings firmly circled around both of Mio's finger.
"Well… they're gifts from a friend, Junko." Mio said. She could tell that Junko hasn't meet Tai yet due to the reaction on her face.
"It can't be… y-you're engaged?!" Junko gasped in horror; she would never imagine Mio will actually get to marry to someone soon!
"What?! I'm not getting married you know!" Mio retorted to her friend. Her face was bright red right now at her friend's reaction.
"Come on Mio! Tell me who you are getting married to?!" Junko demanded serious.
"I said I'm not getting married! The rings are just gifts from a friend, Junko!" Mio said with serious tone back at her old friend.
"If you say so~!" Junko said. She felt something is quite different about Mio than usually.
But I am sure you're getting married, I will found out who you're engaged to… Junko thought as she turned away.
After they got their supplies, Mio and Yoshika left in a military truck.
"Will they be alright, Sakamoto-san?" Yoshika asked.
"Captain Takei and her crew are lucky to survive the onslaught from the Neuroi. But it will take them sometime to recuperate from their injuries." Mio explained.
"The Neuroi… Sakamoto-san, why do you think the Neuroi from before was after Tai-niichan?" Yoshika asked. She still remembers the strange Neuroi chasing after Wizard in the clouds.
"I'm not sure. This never actually happened before…" Mio said while driving.
A red portal appears as Tai come through it before looking around the new fortress of the Strike Witches. But something suddenly stops his trace as a thought come up to his head now.
"That's right…" A sad smile appeared on the former Digidestined's face in realization.
I've fulfilled my job here… The Strike Witches are free from the Phantoms… Tai thought. After saving Mio from committing suicide and defeated the Phantom, Tai felt something is done and coming here have proof something. He complete his task of protecting everyone in Strike Witches after accompanies Yoshika here.
"But what do I do now? Should I leave the Neuroi to them? After all, they can take care of them without me…" Tai said his thoughts out loud to himself. But he couldn't figure out if he wants to leave them or not?
Tai shook his head of these confusion questions and look at the new fortress.
"This may be my last time here… I should explore the place before heading back home," Tai said to no one but himself.
The former Digidestined starts to walking without realized his words been overheard by someone. Her eyes were widening in shock after hearing his words and rushing off to her teammates about the news.
"This can't be happening…" Francesca whispered.
Tai have to admit that this place is a little different from the old base. He walk through the hallway, he hasn't seen anyone yet.
But I'm still surprised… Tai thought as he looks around. Even though he has no experience with architectures of building, but he knows this wasn't cost cheap.
While he continue looking at the scenery, Tai spots two soldiers stood in front of the fortress as he notices they're talking about something important.
"Do you hear about the rumor of strange monsters keep appearing?" One soldier asked.
"Yeah, but no one know where they're from." The second soldier said.
Tai quickly hide behind one of the wall as he continues listening in on the conversations between the two soldiers.
Could they be talking about Phantoms? Tai thought.
"But do you heard about the rumors about a strange armor figure sight in the north…" The soldier's words caught Tai's attention right now.
It can't be… Tai thought as if his heart starts to skip a beat.
"But no one knows who it could be since the person keeps disappearing from public scene." The soldier said.
When the soldiers left to patrolling elsewhere, Tai still hiding behind the wall, pondering. Could they be talking about Mayu-chan? It couldn't be… No, the ones with the abilities of fighting Phantoms are me, Shisho… and Mayu-chan. Should I go see her…? Tai remember Mayu's words before she left with his mentor.
"This is… the beginning that I've decided on." Mayu's last words said in his mind.
"What are you going to do?" Wizardragon asked. He knows full well that if Mayu is involved; his host will immediately go to her side. But the Inner Phantom wonders how the girls will feel about Tai's leaving them.
Tai clenched his fist. It doesn't matter. I need to know if she could take care of herself… I can't let her go through this alone. This was my fault for letting her go down this path… I'm going to see her no matter what! Without another word to himself, Tai left the area.
The girls are looking at Francesca in shocked after she coming crashing into the din room in such fast speed before she gone into spreading news about Tai leaving to them.
"What?! He will be leaving for Fuso soon?!" Mio exclaimed as she was absolute shocked.
"Please, Lucchini-chan… this can't be true." Yoshika said in denial. She doesn't want to believe this since they only had stay here for a single day.
"Yoshika-chan, I'm serious! I overheard him saying that he will be leaving us and heading back to Fuso!" Francesca said.
This hits Yoshika hard with sorrow look. The thought of Tai leaving her right and everyone is quite scary for her. She needs to find him and want to hear his reason, "Tai-niichan…" she muttered.
"He wouldn't do it, will he?"Lynette asked quietly.
"When I see Lucchini like this… she isn't lying at all." Shirley said, frowned. "But I wasn't expecting this to be soon."
They all know Tai will leave a Gate after he defeated the Phantom. But they weren't expecting he is going to leave them soon after they reunited again.
"Lucchini, where is he?" Gertrude asked.
"He says about checking out the place before leaving." Francesca said.
"We still have time… before he goes back to Fuso." Minna said, getting up from her chair. She never thought to deal with people leave but the thought of Tai leaving is something she couldn't have. She is sure that she wasn't the only one here who has the same thought.
The girls nodded to their commander. They have to find him before he left for Fuso.
"We need to split up and find Taichi." Mio said.
(Street of Venezia)
A man was walking down the street of Venezia and passing through civilian. But it won't look like his day will be normal soon enough.
There is no doubt he is here… The man thought.
"It's nice to see you here, Michael-san." A cheerfully voice said.
The man turned around and seeing Sora coming walking jolly up to him.
"What are you doing here, Gremlin? Wasting my time?" The man asked, impatiently.
"Come on, how many time did I tell you to call me Sora?" Sora said, frowned.
"Whatever…what's your business here?" The man asked.
"Well, I thought to check on you hunting for the ring-bearer Wizard especially since you're both the same species." Sora said.
The shadow behind them suddenly changed shaped as Sora's shadow turned into Gremlin and the strange man's shadow become a scale creature.
"I'm surprised you know me well, Gremlin. But I see serving Wiseman is a waste of time… Go play army with him." The 'man' said.
"Well, I thought you might need a hand since he is here." Sora said.
"Don't worry; I'm not like those underlings serving under Medusa. I will take down Dragon on my own." The man said, black aura appearing around his form and turned away from Sora.
"He is scary as always…but that makes it more…fun!" Sora amused.
Tai took a look at the map of Venezia that he found in the library. He looks at the spot where the soldier described where Mayu possibly appeared. Even if there is a slight chance of seeing Mayu, Tai will take the risk of seeing her. He doesn't know how long the journey will take. He immediately took the map and puts it in his pocket and heading out of the room now.
I could make it there by riding… Tai thought as he continued walking down the stairs.
"Taichi." Tai turns around and seeing Minna approaching him. She has this serious look on her face right now as their eyes meet before walking up to him.
"Minna, what is it?" Tai asked.
"Taichi, you are staying night here in a room arrange for tonight." Minna said in her strict tone.
"What's going on?" Tai asked confused. The only time Minna calls him by his full name when something going on but Tai was a little confused by Minna's behavior.
"This is an order." Minna said.
As Minna walking back, Tai can't help but feeling something bothering Minna right now. The former Digidestined of Courage wants to start on his search for Mayu but can't help feeling something odd will happened.
(Later)
Tai was in his arranged room, he may be bored since he doesn't know what the girls having in mind, he writing a letter.
I don't have to worry about Yoshika getting into any troubles…when I'm gone, Tai thought after he finished his letter and puts in an envelope right now.
It wasn't long until Minna and the girls showing up in his room that Tai got a suspicion feeling something is going on. They all look at Tai as if there is something they want to ask.
"Okay, what is really going on?" Tai asked.
"Tai," Minna began, "We learn that you're leaving us today and want to know why."
Tai look stoic but he was surprised on the inside when he hears Minna's words and decided to get it over with.
"It true, I have to keep moving elsewhere..." Tai said, getting up from his chair right now.
"But Tai-niichan, why do you have to go now?" Yoshika asked.
"I can't stay here while Phantoms are roaming around elsewhere." Tai said.
"Taichi, we haven't time to catch up on everything… We even have taking bath as a group yet!" Mio said.
This caused Tai and the girls to immediately blush at Mio's words, Mio look at them confusedly.
"What?" This caused them to sweat drop more at Mio being dense about her words.
"That is more of a reason I have to leave this place." Tai said, cold.
Huh? Did I just say something wrong? Mio thought as she noticed his cold glare at her.
"But why?" Mio asked.
"That is not of your business, baka." Tai said, giving a stoic look without any emotions. They don't need to know what he did as this is something he has to do on his own.
Mio glared at him while the girls were looking at Tai. They never saw Tai with the look in his eyes as they trying to reach out to him.
"But why can't you tell us?" Sanya asked.
"This is something I have to do on my own…it was personal and I won't rest until I have it settled out." Tai said with determine in his voice as he move in inhuman speed from the girls.
This started everyone as they soon given into a chase with Tai right now.
"Tai! Wait!" Shirley shout as she was about to activated her magic which allows her getting close to Tai.
"Can we talk about this?" Shirley asked.
I don't have time for this… Tai thought as he got out his Ring and puts on his driver now.
"MIST, PLEASE!"
Soon Tai's form turned into a mist when Shirley was about to reach out to grab his shoulder right now.
"CONNECT, PLEASE!"
Tai took out his Machine Winger from his portal and was about to gotten on his bike right now.
"Tai! Wait!" Tai turned to see Francesca coming running after him right now. Tai got on his bike and starts the engine.
Francesca soon run faster as she caught on Tai's waist before his machine Winger start speeding down the street.
"Tai! Why do you have to leave us?!" Francesca questioned him while he was driving down the street. But Tai wasn't responding to her question and ignored her.
"This is quite amusing…" Wizardragon said as he watching his Host's predicament right now. He wonders what he is going to do since Francesca still attached to him and the others are possibly following him.
However, the trip wasn't nice at all when Tai spot a fireball that was aiming for them in front of them. This caused Tai to turned away from the attack and stop his bike. Before them was a man who appeared from out of nowhere and his hand was glowing red.
"Who are you?" Tai asked.
"You're the Ring-bearer Wizard…" The man said.
"Are you a Phantom?" Tai asked in caution. This set him off as he began to feel tense in his stomach right now.
"Then it means you have Dragon sealed within you…"
"Huh?" This caused Tai and Francesca look confused at him.
"I will devour your Phantom and become the strongest Phantom." The man said, smirk.
Wizardragon scoffed, "I'm not surprised to see another snob Phantom here…"
"Francesca gets out here." Tai said.
"But-" Francesca tries to protest.
"Go back to the girls." Tai said as he stood in front of her. This is his fight from here right now and won't get anyone involved in crossfire.
"Leave, little witch. You don't belong in this battlefield. Go back…" The man said as he soon transformed into his Phantom form. He was clad in black and white form which makes him look more sinister with his body armor made of bones. His shoulder armors resemble skeleton dragons. He was dragonoid except his entire form is more bone than flesh for armor. On his chest was a gem like all Phantoms wore, but his being red.
"A Dracolich…" Tai said, activating his Driver.
"Driver On, Please!"
The Wizardriver materialized and Tai flipped the hand Author to the left.
"SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN!"
"SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN!"
Tai slipped on his Flame Style ring and shouted, "Henshin!" before placing it in front of the Hand Author.
"FLAME, PLEASE!"
"This world is not big enough for the two of us! YEAAARGGHH!" Dracolich Phantom said as he growled and charged at Wizard.
"Saa showtime daa!" Wizard announced after his transformation.
Wizard block Dracolich's punch but he was forced back by the brutal strong of the attack.
"Tai!" Francesca shout as she was about to run to his side.
"Francesca!? I said get out of here! NOW!" Wizard shouted with a tone of authority in him.
This startled Francesca since she never seen him using such a tone before. Wizard took out his Connect Ring and used it.
"CONNECT, PLEASE!"
He took out his WizarSwordGun from his dimension pocket and starts his battle stance.
Dracolich Phantom started firing fireball at Wizard but Wizard continued dodging each attacks.
Wizard was close enough and he swings his sword down. But the Phantom uses his arm to block his attack.
Soon all the people noticed the fight and made a run for their lives. This makes Wizard glad before returning his attention towards the Phantom. Dracolich and Wizard pushed off against one another and Wizard turned his weapon into a gun form before taking several shot. The Dracolich Phantom started firing his own fireballs from his other hand while Wizard was using a building nearby as cover.
"Eat this!" Wizard retorted before opening the Hand Author on WizarSwordGun.
"COME TO SHOOTING! SHAKE HANDS!"
"FLAME! SHOOTING STRIKE!"
Wizard fired off huge fireballs at Dracolich.
"Hmm, your flame is weak against my armor" Dracolich said, the bones in his armor drop and flowing around him, countering the incoming flames in the air. The fireballs fizzled out, making Wizard cringe right now.
Soon the bones on Dracolich's armor regenerated again. His bones are quite tough for a Phantom.
Then I have to find his weak point… Wizard thought.
Wizard switch rings and flipping the Hand Author.
"WATER, PLEASE!"
Wizard changed from his Flame Style to Water Style form. He quickly switched Spell ring before flipping the Hand Author again.
"LIQUID, PLEASE!"
"Here I come…" Wizard said before collapsing into water and charged toward Dracolich. He swung at him, but Wizard just swerved around him before he wrapped around him, hoping to find a weak point.
"Teme…" Dracolich sneer angrily.
"I find it!" Wizard thought. He surged the Phantom with water until he hits a soft on the back of Dracolich's armor and this caused the Phantom to howling in pain.
"Raaahhh!"
Suddenly there a black aura coming off Dracolich Phantom and this knocked the liquid off of his body. Wizard reemerged into his solid form. He got his sword out ready, Wizard come charging at the Phantom with his sword.
"Get him," Dracolich Phantom throws a dozen of Ghoul stones as Ghouls emerged from the ground and they block Wizard's way.
"Damn it," Wizard grunted as he countered and slashes against the Ghouls while blocking Dracolich's attack.
"I always win in the end," Dracolich said.
"I don't think so!" Wizard said before switching rings and flipping the Hand Author twice.
"LIGHT, PLEASE!"
He raised his hand holding the Light Ring and it shined really bright. Dracolich Phantom and the Ghouls were blinded by the bright light from Wizard, but Wizard uses this opportunity to switch his Style Ring.
"FLAME DRAGON!"
Wizard soon transforms from his Water Style to his Flame Dragon Style. He opened the Head Author on his sword and scans his Flame Dragon Ring.
"FLAME SLASH STRIKE!"
Wizard soon spun around with his sword in hand as he attacks Dracolich and his Ghouls right now. Some of the Ghouls start to shatter but Dracolich Phantom doesn't seem to be bothered by Wizard's attack.
"Is that it?" Dracolich grunted as his body seem to be unaffected by his attack.
What the hell? Wizard thought. How strong is this Phantom's armor anyway?
Dracolich Phantom suddenly slashes Wizard across the chest, knocking him back now. "I will end this soon enough!" Dracolich suddenly become fast as Wizard wasn't able to making any counter plans against him and being slashes several times.
"Gah," Wizard cried out as the strikes rained down on him, launching him onto his back with smoke lifting from his chest plate.
All of a sudden of bullets attack sudden hit Dracolich, sending Dracolich to stumbling back as Wizard and Dracolich look up in the sky.
"Taichi, are you alright?" Minna asked.
I told them to leave! Wizard thought as he saw them in the sky right now. Why do they have to follow him out here?
"Grrr…" Dracolich said. "I will remove the nuisance witches from the sky!"
"Something about this Phantom doesn't feel right…" Eila said.
Mio materialized her sword and charged from above and trying to strike against the Dracolich Phantom right now.
But Dracolich got out one hand and grabbed Mio's sword, this caused Mio stunned by what she's seeing, before throwing her across the street if it wasn't for her Strikers to prevent her from falling to the ground.
"Why you?!" Perrine demanded angry as her magic activated and unleashed her thunder magic on the Phantom.
This forced the Dracolich Phantom to move back due to Perrine's magic but there is a sudden grin on the monster like face now. "Looks like I have no choice but to use that."
Suddenly Dracolich glowing in violet aura to counter against Perrine's magic, this surprised Wizard and everyone, the Phantom soon fired a red bolts of energy at everyone.
The girls tried to block the attack; however their shield melted as they were hit by the Phantoms' attack right now. "Waugh!"
"Everyone!" Wizard shouts, he charged at the Phantom with the attempt to stop him. Dracolich saw him and fired a red bolt at Wizard.
"GAAAAAAHHH!" Wizard yelled in excruciating pain as he was flying back like a rag doll.
Wizard falls to the ground before he suddenly denhenshined back to his original form.
"Soon you will watches these girls perished after I absorbed their mana dry…" Dracolich said as he snapped his fingers and caused the girls to scream in pain.
"No!" Tai shout as he watched in horror as the girls fall to the ground from the Phantoms' magic and they're aching in pain right now.
I have no choice… Tai thought as he can't watch this any longer than before. Deep within his unconscious, Wizardragon sense something going on and decide to offer a hand to his host.
"Hmm… it time to go all out…" The Inner Phantom muttered as his body started to glow in bright color.
"Any last word, Wizard?" Dracolich asked.
"I'm going to drag you to hell with me…" Tai said. He took out the Copy Ring this time before flipping the Hand Author.
"COPY, PLEASE!"
Soon there is two Tai in presence before the copies uses the Copy Ring once again and result four Tai in presence.
"What are you doing?" Dracolich asked as the girls would surprise as the Phantom.
Each copies including the real Tai starts to glowing in four different colors right now as they slipped on their Dragon Style rings right now.
"Henshin!" They all shouting at the same time and scanned their rings.
"FLAME DRAGON…! BOU-BOU, BOU-BOU-BOU!"
"HURRICANE DRAGON…! BYU-BYU, BYU-BYU-BYU-BYU!"
"WATER DRAGON…! JABAJABA BASHAN, ZABUN ZABUN!"
"LAND DRAGON…! DAN DEN DON ZU DOGON! DAN DEN DOGON!"
Tai and his clones suddenly roared as element storm and lighting surrounded their bodies. The burst of power blew the Phantom and girls away as magic circles melded with their bodies.
Soon in Tai's place was Wizard Flame Dragon Style; however there are four Wizards in presence right now as each of them are in Hurricane, Water, and Land Dragon Styles. Theirs antennae looked more like a simplified lightning bolts and shoulders had spikes on them right now.
Due to the magic aura giving off by the four Wizard Dragon Styles, Dracolich's magic rendered useless on the girls as they are able to catch some breath before watching the scene before them.
"No way…" Mio started.
"There are four Tai-niichan…" Yoshika finished.
Rest of the girls looking incredible shocked while Eila had a caution face on.
"Eila, what's wrong?"
"Something doesn't feel right…" Eila answered.
"What the?!" Dracolich gawked in surprised.
(Play Kamen Rider Wizard: Alternative)
Flame, Hurricane, Water, and Land Dragon styles continued roaring before they all charged. The Ghouls charged in response with Dragon styles with them jumping in and knocking a few away.
"What magic is this?!"
Flame Dragon continued fighting and eventually grabbed two Ghouls before throwing them to the side. Land Dragon then roared like a berserker before unleashed a quake and three Ghouls which result them falls to the ground. Water and Hurricane Dragons focused on the Dracolich Phantom as they both fought him savaged like monsters. As they were fighting, Gertrude and Shirley dragged their comrades to safe spots.
Koyomi and Michiko were watching the battle through Koyomi's crystal ball. They watched as Tai not only transformed into four of his different Dragon styles right now.
"This is bad…" Koyomi said, "Tai… why do you have use it?" she muttered the last part in whispered but Michiko hears her.
"Why is he like this?" Michiko asked with worried.
"Because Tai can't control all four styles at once," Koyomi answered. She aware there is a danger of overusing the Dragon Styles too much.
Water Dragon and Hurricane Dragon got out their WizarSwordGun weapons as they clashed with the Dracolich Phantom. Soon Flame Dragon jumped into the fight after release several slashes on the Phantom's back.
Dracolich Phantom stumbled back before shooting powerful fireballs at them. However, the attack didn't make contact when rock wall forms in front of Water Dragon and Hurricane Dragon. The wall crumbled to revealed Land Dragon who came out from the ground.
Land Dragon growls at Dracolich Phantom, "It time…"
Land Dragon's hands suddenly transformed into Hell Claws and he slashed the Phantom merciless. This forced the Phantom to think twice of retreating from the battle.
"Where do you think you're going?" Hurricane Dragon flew passed him as his Hell Wings emerged from his back and slashes him.
Flame Dragon starts levitated into the air as Drago Skull emerged from his chest and unleashed a powerful stream of flame.
Water Dragon's tail emerged from his back and slashed the Dracolich with a slash.
The Dracolich was throwing further back then before by the Dragon Styles' attacks. Soon the Dragon Styles' begins to glowing in violet aura.
"Let's end this…" Flame Dragon said as he and his elemental copies got out their Kick Strike ring. The Dracolich Phantom got up to see it.
"VERY, NICE! KICK STRIKE!" The Wizardriver announced in a dark voice than the usually tone.
The four jumped up and prepared their kicked. They tucked in one leg and extended the other, coming down on Dracolich to perform their Rider Kicks.
"This can't be…" Dracolich gasped in surprise before the four kicks smashed into him and sent him flying. The Phantom screamed as he was enveloped in different element sparks before finally exploded.
(Song end)
Soon Water Dragon, Land Dragon, and Hurricane Dragon vanished as it leaves Wizard Flame Dragon behind.
"It's done-" Wizard then grunted as he collapsed to his knees, his armor vanishing right off his body.
This is going to hurt… Tai thought as he felt his mana vanished right now.
"Tai-niichan!" Yoshika shout as she got up.
Tai turned to look at the girls before slowly walking away right now.
"Wait!"
Tai felt in an instantly as his surrounding turned dark right now and fall into collapsing now as his body feeling aching pain right now.
"Tai-niichan!" Yoshika said as she rushed over to his side.
When she tries to touch him, Yoshika felt a shock coming from Tai's body right now.
"Tai…niichan…" Yoshika startled and look at Tai. Suddenly Tai's body gives off an aura in shaped of a dragon and the air around his pressure become heavy than usually like something pushing Tai down right now.
"What's going on?" Mio asked. She and the girls never felt something like this happening.
"Yoshika, get away from there!" a familiar voice said.
Yoshika turns around to see Koyomi coming out of her magic circle and she has a serious look right now.
"Koyomi-chan…"
"What's going on?" Minna asked.
"Koyomi-chan, what is happening to Tai-niichan?" Yoshika asked.
Koyomi continued walking toward Yoshika and unconscious Tai right now as she doesn't seem affected by what happening to Tai now.
"Tai is facing a magic overload right now." Koyomi explained.
"Magic overload…?" Yoshika asked confused.
"A condition when someone puts themselves into a heavy strain after using too much magic and will caused the person's body to breakdown unless they can cool down. If anymore magic added, it could sever harms the person." Koyomi explained serious.
"Is there any way we can help him?" Gertrude asked.
"Only I can do it." Koyomi said as she puts her Please Ring on Tai's buckle right now.
"PLEASE, PLEASE!"
Koyomi felt Tai's mana but she felt shocks in her arms for being contacted with Tai's body.
"Are you alright?" Yoshika asked.
"I will be fine…"
"But-"
"I will be fine…so don't worry about me." Koyomi said quietly. She has to focus on taking in magic for Tai's life still in danger because of the magic stress he puts himself in. Or worse, him transforming into a full-fledge Phantom before everyone.
Tai was groaning in pain while his body still unconscious as something painful within his body wants to break out. But the pain passes away soon enough.
While the girls were gathering watching Tai passed the danger point and sigh, they weren't aware that the White Garuda was watching the event from a tree.
(Wiseman's lair)
Wiseman was walking patenting after Medusa giving him a report about Dracolich's downfall and Wizard's berserker mode.
"I see… So Dracolich choose to face him and fall," Wiseman concluded.
"That's correct but why are you asking about him?" Medusa asked.
"Let's say… he have proven to be a useful without realizing it." Wiseman said.
Tai woke up in his arrange room again. He looks at his right arm which was bandage tightly before hearing footsteps by his room. He turned to see Koyomi coming in.
"Tai, are you alright?" Koyomi asked.
"I will be fine." Tai said.
"That was very reckless of you by using all Four Dragon Styles at once." Koyomi said, frowned.
"I know… but there wasn't another way. Are the girls ok?" Tai asked.
"Yeah," Koyomi nodded. This make Tai sighed in relief.
"Tai… I know this isn't my place to ask. But when did you decide to leave?" Koyomi asked.
Tai know Koyomi could tell something really was bothering him and he won't hide it from her.
"I already realized… I won't need here even if it was against the Neuroi." Tai said, looking at his magic assistant.
"Tai…?"
"My magic isn't meant for this struggle… I can understand why most people know how guys aren't allowed in the frontline. Beside our place is different from the witches." Tai said.
"Our place is with dealing Phantoms…" Koyomi said. They already agree on fulfill the White Wizard's cause of fighting against the Phantom.
"And Yoshika… she is already fifteen years old, she isn't a kid anymore… she doesn't need me to protect her... she can fly on her wings from here. Same for the rest of the girls…I don't have to put her or the girls in harms' way anymore." Tai said softly.
"Is that what you think?!"
Tai and Koyomi turn around to see Yoshika with tearfully eyes right now at the door.
"Yoshika…?"Tai look confused.
Not only her but others coming right now as some of them were listening in on the conversation. This caused Tai to freeze right now.
Don't tell me…
"Is what been on your mind the whole time?" Minna asked.
"Taichi, are you out of your mind?" Mio asked.
"Even so… I must leave." Tai said, serious.
"But you aren't in the condition of moving on your own." Gertrude said. They helped Koyomi carry Tai to his bed.
"I'm sorry. But I don't want to cause anymore troubles to you all." Tai said. "If I don't see her again, I won't be able to make up for what happened and nothing will be resolved."
"You don't mean…?" Koyomi asked.
"Mayu-chan…" Tai finished.
"Who is Mayu?" Minna asked.
"I-" Tai was struck. Unable to think.
He doesn't want to talk about Mayu with just anyone since Koyomi have been the only one who been by his side when it happened. He struggled for an answer. He never thought when it comes to this. Demands an answer, demanding the truth. He couldn't lie to them. After what happened.
Tai suddenly find himself tightened his grip on Koyomi's hand and she turned to look at him.
"Tai…" His adopted daughter look at him as their eyes met. They could tell what each was thinking before she given him an assured nod.
"Mayu… she is a Gate I knew in the past but She same as me." Tai said.
"W-What do you mean?" Eila asked.
"Mayu is a magic user like me." Tai stopped for a moment.
"Another one?" Mio asked.
Soon it was Koyomi's turn to talk now.
"Mayu Inamori, she asks us for assistance in finding her family members who were declared missing in the public. We thought this case will be easy but something went wrong when we found out Mayu-chan was missing."
"Missing? W-what do you mean?" Francesca asked.
Tai soon spoke up, "… Mayu-chan, she has been living alone in school for the whole time… and she don't have anyone to count on… She was looking for help. I tried my best to help her stay calm… helping her finding a lead to what happened to her family. But it my fault for not seeing deeper and I was too late…"
Tai remember seeing the sight of Mayu being puts into despair by Medusa who used her sister's own face.
"Tai…"
"Her whole family… they were eaten alive by... Medusa," Tai confessed quiet. This enough caused the girls to have frighten look on their faces right now but the one was affected the most was Francesca.
This caused Francesca to become paled when hearing the name of the Phantom that been giving her nightmares, "No…"
"Medusa…? Isn't that the Phantom who poison you and Lucchini?" Shirley asked.
"…She was Mayu-chan's older sister Misa, a Phantom born on the same day of the ritual. I wasn't able to defeat her. Mayu fall into despair and somehow find her way to suppress her inner Phantom." Tai explained. "My mentor takes Mayu away after saving us from Medusa to train her in magic of killing Phantoms but mostly defeating Medusa. I wasn't able to see her again… I can't stop her... This is why I have to keep fighting in order to make up for what happened between me and Mayu-chan…"
"Tai-niichan…" Yoshika quietly said.
"Why didn't you tell anyone about this?" Mio asked.
"…that's why I never tell anyone about what happened that day. This is my fault. Because I left Mayu-chan with no place to call home…" Tai said, feeling worse than scum in hell. He look at the girls especially Yoshika as they were silent due to his story. Tai know what could they been thinking about, they didn't realized he commit something horrible, he realized no one would forgive him for what he have done and forever to bear this guilty alone.
Koyomi felt Tai's hand still trembling as he continued talking.
"Taichi, are you really going after her? Do you know where she is?" Mio asked.
"I already know… but don't try to stop me." Tai said. "I won't stop until I see her. This is my mistake I have to take responsibility for."
Tai took got himself up but someone standing in his way and prevent him from leaving was none other than Yoshika.
"Tai-niichan, you can't leave…" Yoshika pleads with her eyes watery.
Tai can't look at Yoshika's eyes and turned away, "Even so I must… I have to look out for Mayu-chan because I promised that I won't let her down again."
This caused shock look on Yoshika and the rest of the girls. Some wasn't sure why but they can't let Tai leaving them right now.
"I'm sorry that I'm being selfish but this is what I have decided and won't go back against my own feelings." Tai said. He suddenly felt a hand on his arm and glance at Minna.
"Taichi, you can't just leave like this." Minna said.
"Minna… I-I already fulfill my obligation. There is no reason of me being here anymore. You girls can handle the Neuroi without me being here…my mentor will be okay but Mayu is the one I promised who I have to look after." Tai said.
Minna knows what Tai planning on doing since it was the same when she couldn't save Kurt after the Neuroi invaded Karsland and realized Tai is going through the same as her. She has to do something or Tai won't be himself anymore.
"But it not your fault for what happened." Minna said.
"I play a part in it," Tai said. "I didn't take it seriously and this happened. It's my fault that it's all come to this…"
"But Tai… even if that's true…you still have a place here with us more than you think." Minna said.
This caused Tai to look surprised but he frowned. "Minna, I know what you're thinking but my answer still—" But Minna interrupted him.
"Even if you choose to go on your own and fighting against the Military…I promise that I will be there to protect you from the military, I intend on keeping my vow to you." Minna began. "I'm serious,"
(Flashback)
"Taichi, I promise that the Strike Witches will be there to protect you. You don't have to bear everything on your shoulder alone." Minna said to Tai.
(Flashback end)
Tai knows about it and have a sad smile on his face, "That isn't a reason for either you or the girls… you girls should focus on your effort in the frontline against the Neuroi than me." Tai said, puts his hand on Minna's hand and try to remove her grip on his arm.
"Let me go…" Tai said.
"No Tai, I won't let you go." Minna argued back.
"I say let go!" Tai said. "This isn't how a Commander should be behavior!"
"You're right! But if I ever going to understand how you feeling! I have to be selfish and making you trusts me!" Minna retorted.
"You don't tell me what I'm supposed to do!" Tai snapped back at her.
"I have every right to!" Minna snapped back. "I can't lose you in the war! I'm not losing you!"
"I can't abandon my promise to Mayu-chan!" Tai frowned.
"And I can't risk you getting caught by the military! Don't you know what they will do you?!" Minna retorted back.
"I will take the risk!" Tai retorted. "I'm not letting anyone take blamed for my own mistake!"
"I'm not letting you leave my side again!" Minna shout.
Tai's eyes widened at Minna's voice and the girls were quiet as some of them were scared. Minna realized what she did then bowed her head, her hair covering her eyes.
"I… almost thought I never get to see you again…" Minna said.
"Minna…" Tai whispered.
"Why couldn't you trust anyone? Why can't you trust me?" Minna stared sadly at him. Tai doesn't know how to response.
"Tai, are you really going to leave us after everything we been through together?" Shirley asked.
Tai turns to look at the girls as they come toward him.
"Taichi-san, please don't leave…" Lynne said.
"Please… don't go." Sanya said, tearfully.
"I don't know… how to response." Tai said.
"Taichi, if you leave, I won't forgive you if you make Sanya cried." Eila said. But she doesn't want Tai to leave either even if she won't admit.
"I— ARRGGHH!" Before Tai could response, he suddenly felt his head starts hurting and he puts his hand on his head.
"Tai!" Minna startled as she and the girls trying to get closed to Tai but they were shocked by his body started to glows. What caught their attention was that he had two demonic silver wings on his back. Tai grunted in pain as the wings disappeared soon and he fell to his knees, panting.
"What's going on?" Mio asked.
"TELEPORT, NOW!"
"It's seems that his case is serious." The girls and Tai turned around to see White Wizard appeared out of nowhere.
"Shisho…" Koyomi whispered.
"What are you doing here?" Minna asked.
"Tai needs help… His magic is in a berserker state. He needed to come with me," White Wizard said with serious.
"But why?" Yoshika asked. "I thought Koyomi-chan managed to slow it down…"
"Even though Koyomi slowly it down. Tai still in danger because of it. Or he will fall rapidly into despair," White Wizard said. This caught the girls to look shocked.
He walks towards his apprentice right now before he reset his driver twice.
"Hey! Where are you taking him?" Gertrude asked serious.
"Don't worry about me…" Tai said to the girls.
"TELEPORT, NOW!"
In a bright flash of light, Tai and the White Wizard suddenly disappeared from them. Who knows when Tai will return and response to the girls' question?
To be continued…
Next time on Kamen Rider Wizard: Sky of Infinity
Tai was brought in by the White Wizard to harness his magic to a new height despite the risk faction and still confused about what he should do now. Yoshika, Lynette, and Perrine are sending to train with a veteran from previous Neuroi war…
Spell 5: Trial of Dragon! A Rider's response! Witches on Broomsticks…?
AN: That's the end of this chapter. I know that it impossible for Tai to use all Four Dragon Styles on his own without the Drago Timer but I make it possible if he invokes enough Dragon's mana and I take the idea from Fenikkusumaru's Wizard fic. But if Tai uses the Four Dragon Styles without the Drago Timer, it will be similar to W FangJoker and OOO Putotyra as they both have berserker problems in them.
Also what do you think Tai's response when the girls want him to stay? What will he choose with them or not?
Anyway, don't be afraid to review or PM me.
