Betrayal
"Gah!" Asta exclaimed as he and his assailant crashed onto the ground.
"O-Owe…." Asta muttered before feeling movement from the other person, allowing the ash-white hair teen some room to move.
Asta turned his body so that he's looking at the person who lunged at him.
Grinning down at him in a woman with a youthful appearance, possessing midnight purple hair and matching eyes.
"Hi Asta." The woman said in a cheerful tone of voice.
"….." Asta couldn't find anything to say as a light blush appeared on his face.
"Sayo! Get off the boy!" A second voice exclaimed, it being more alarmed than angry.
"Hehehe. Sorry, Sir Staria." The now known Sayo said as she got off Asta and extend an arm for the ash-white hair teen.
Asta hesitated for a few seconds before taking Sayo's hand who then helped him up.
However, Asta immediately took a few steps away from Sayo.
This cause the purple hair woman to start pouting.
"Maybe if you didn't lunged at Asta then he wouldn't be scared of you." The man said in a blank tone of voice, noticing the pout.
"Yes, Sir." Sayo responded in a sad tone of voice.
Asta examined the second person who possess white hair, that is tipped with red, and green eyes.
The man, who seemed to be his elderly years, is wearing noble-like clothes, but seemed to be toned down than what Asta has seen back in the Clover Kingdom.
Asta then realized something.
"Why do you possess the same surname as me?" Asta asked in a confused tone of voice, making the elderly man smirk slightly.
"My name is Ekrixi Staria, father of Richita Staria." The now named Ekrixi introduced himself, causing Asta to blink his eyes for a few times before fully widening.
"You're my…...Grand...dad?" Asta asked, making Ekrixi nod his head.
"That's correct. Its good to finally meet you again, Asta." Ekriki said before frowning slightly.
"Hmm. It would seem that you haven't fully recovered your memories. I did visited you at times in the past." Ekrixi said, a slight sad expression appearing on his face.
This caused a slight guilty expression to appear on Asta's face.
"And this woman standing next to you, along with assaulting you, is Sayo IIusi Rubah, the person who rescued you from getting executed." Ekrixi said, fully introducing Sayo to Asta who fully examined her and saw that she's wearing a white shirt underneath a might purple coat-like piece, which is sleeveless and possessing a purple cape over her shoulders, a matching skirt and stockings which are the same shade of purple.
"Like what you see?" Sayo asked in a teasing tone of voice.
This cause Asta to start blushing.
"N-no." Asta responded blushing slightly before realizing something.
"Have I seen her before?" Asta thought in confusion slowly taking out the photo and looking at it.
"Hm? What you got there?" Ekrixi asked, he and Sayo becoming curious just as Asta glance up at Sayo.
"Can you make an annoyed look whilst glancing to the left?" The ash-white hair teen requested, making Sayo blinked her eyes, becoming more confused before doing what she is told.
Asta glanced down at the photo again before coming to a conclusion.
"This is you in the photo, right?" Asta asked whilst turning the photo around, allowing Sayo and Ekrixi to see it.
"Yep! I'm was a childhood friend of your mum! That make my your aunt!" Sayo responded with a wide smile on her face.
"Eh….I kind of have an aunt-like figure already….." Asta said in an awkward tone of voice.
"Oh, really?" Sayo asked, a slight twitch appearing on her face.
"Y-yes." Asta responded, backing away as he noticed a slight dark aura surrounding the purple hair woman.
"And who is this person?" Sayo asked, a "smile" appearing on his face.
"Now, now, Sayo. This isn't the time to start planning on murdering someone." Ekrixi said, causing Sayo to gain a frown on her face.
"So…..you're a noble, Grandfather?" Asta asked, saying the title in awkward tone of voice, glancing around the living room.
"You can say that both of us are. But I don't have servants or anything, apart from a cleaner that comes around at times." Ekrixi responded, waving an arm slightly.
"Wow…..I guess Mimosa's brother was right about me being a noble." Asta muttered whilst scratching the back of his head.
"You mean that girl from the royal house of Vermillion." Ekriki commented, making Asta slightly surprise.
"You are aware of the structure of the Clover Kingdom?" The ash-white hair teen asked, making Ekrixi nod his head slightly.
"Of course. I'm fully well emersed in the knowledge of the Clover Kingdom, especially since Richita worked at that branch…." Ekrixi responded before trailing off, gaining a sad expression on his face as he glanced down at the Seiken Sword-Driver, the red-boarded Wonder-Ride books and the silver-boarded Wonder-Ride book.
Sayo also gained a sad expression on his face.
"This is getting awkward…." Asta thought, seeing how Ekrixi and Sayo likely hold more memories with Rekka being wielded by his mum.
"By the way….." Ekrixi began to ask whilst picking up "Dragonic Knight".
"Did the Sword Of Logos created this Wonder-Ride book?" Ekrixi asked, becoming curious.
"No. It was created by a friend of mine. It was originally called "Emotional Dragon", which was created through the power of two dragons called Rune Dim Dragon and Rune Bright Dragon before the Wonder-Ride book became blank again-!" Asta said before becoming startled when Ekrixi suddenly appeared in front of him.
"You managed to gain the trust of those two dragons!?" Ekrixi asked in an excited tone of voice, gaining stars in his eyes.
"Y-yes!" Asta responded, jumping back slightly.
"So me and mum inherited our excitement from Grandfather…..?" Asta thought before becoming confused.
"You know about Rune Bright Dragon and Rune Dark Dragon….along with them being tied to "Emotional Dragon"?" The ash-white hair teen asked, slowly remembering he behaviors between Tetsuo and Ryo.
"Yes. Those two dragons are written in texts across Wonder World. As for the "Emotional Dragon" Wonder-Ride book-hm." Ekrixi said before stiffening slightly.
This cause Sayo to sigh slightly.
"You shouldn't move so quickly without enhancing your body first, Sir Staria." Sayo said, scolding Ekrixi slightly.
"Sorry, sorry." Exrixi said in an apologetic tone of voice before glancing towards Asta.
"Old age. It can be a such a pain at times." Ekrixi said with a sheepish smile on his face.
"O-okay." Asta said, him gaining a confused expression on the comment about "enhancing your body first" from Sayo.
"Was she referring to Mana-Skin?" Asta thought, starting to become curious about his grandfather's background.
It was at that moment that Asta realized something.
"I should go and tell the others that I'm okay." Asta said, causing both Ekrixi and Sayo to blink their eyes at him.
"I don't think you should go back immediately. When Sayo rescued you from the Clover Kingdom's Magic Parliament, they will likely organized a search party for you. You basically become a wanted man now." Ekrixi explained with a serious expression on his face.
"Oh…." Asta responded, gaining a sad expression on his face.
"Sorry." Sayo said with a sheepish expression on her face.
"….." Ekrixi became silent as ideas started to form in his head.
"But….I suppose it would be okay for a quick visit, just to allow your friends to see that you're in safe hands." Ekrixi said, causing Asta's face to lit up.
"Hmm. It been a while since I was in the Clover Kingdom." Sayo commented as she and Asta just came out of a portal with the use of "Gatebook", having opening it within the forest area of the Sword Of Logos headquarters.
Ekrixi has decided to wait back at Wonder World, saying something about not wanting to scare some people with his presence.
"Really?" Asta asked, becoming interested.
"Yes. The first time I came to the Clover Kingdom was also Richita's first time, sometime before she joined the Sword Of Logos." Sayo explained, causing Asta to nod his head slightly.
"Well. Let's get moving." Sayo said, making Asta nod his head again and the two of them start to walk through the forest area.
After a brief period of walking, the two of them near the edge of the forest area and saw the headquarters of the Sword Of Logos.
"I'll let you speak to them first before revealing myself." Sayo said as the two of them approached the door.
The ash-white hair teen open the door, whilst Sayo stepped to the side, and entered the building.
The first thing that Asta noticed when he entered the entrance room was Fiona doing her usual cleaning duties.
"Welco-!" Fiona began to say whilst turning around, she having heard the door opening, but stopped abruptly when she saw who it is that opened the door.
"Asta!" Fiona exclaimed as she ran up to the ash-white hair teen and hugged him tightly.
"H-hi, Fiona." Asta said, him becoming startled with the maid suddenly hugging him.
"What happened to you? Everyone's worried about you getting caught by the Magic Parliament and then suddenly disappearing." Fiona explained as she released Asta.
"Hehe. It's quite an interesting story, actually." Asta responded with a sheepish smile on his face.
"I bet it is. I'll….go and get the others…." Fiona said and Asta noticed the shift in the maid's behaviour.
"What wrong with Fiona?" Asta thought, starting to become concerned. It was then that footsteps can be heard.
"What's going on here?" A voice asked, causing Asta and Fiona to glance in the direction of the voice to see Donna who became wide eyed when she the ash-white hair teen.
"Hi Sis-!" Asta said before suddenly getting hugged by Donna, who used her "Lighting Creation Magic: Lighting Genie's Thieves Boots" to lunged towards the wielder of Rekka, making Fiona jump at the sudden action.
"Do you have any idea how worried you made when we heard the news that you got caught by the Magic Parliament?" Donna asked as she released Asta.
"Em…..Sorry." The wielder of Rekka responded in a weak tone of voice, making the wielder of Ikazuchi sigh.
It was at that moment that more footsteps can heard, causing the three current people to turn around in the direction of the footsteps to see the others appearing.
"Asta! Your back!" Rin said with a wide smile on her face.
"Yeah. Kind of." Asta responded whilst scratching the back of his head. It was then that the wielder of Rekka felt a pair of eyes om him, making him turn his head to see Noelle staring at him.
"Hi, Noelle. I'm b-back-!" Asta said, starting to become scared before becoming alarmed as the silver hair girl marched up to Asta, an annoyed expression appearing on her face.
"Do you know how worried we've became, Bakasta?!" Noelle demanded as she stopped right in front of Asta, making him jump slightly.
"Noelle. Maybe you shouldn't be too hard on him, he been through a lot in a short amount of time…." Rintaro said in a sheepish tone of voice.
"That tone of voice he just used is similar to Fiona's." Asta thought, recognizing the similarities just Noelle turned her attention towards Rintaro, making the wielder of Nagare to back away from her this time, gaining a scared expression on his face as well.
"Anyway, what happened to you? The last thing we know is that we know that you got rescued by some sort of creature." Tetsuo asked, he and everyone else becoming curious.
"Its an interesting story actually. But I can't stay long, I was told that I just should keep this trip as short as possible." Asta said whilst thinking that he needs to ask about what sort of creature that Sayo owned.
"Yes. I sure it is." Noelle said in a blank tone of voice.
"But first…..we need you to hand over Rekka." Ryo said, making the wielder of Rekka to blink his eyes.
"Eh?" Asta said just as the atmosphere started to change.
"We've been ordered by the Magic Parliament to hand you over once we've located you." Ryo explained, causing Asta's eyes to widened.
"Y-your kidding, r-right?" The ash-white hair teen said as he looked around, seeing grim expressions on everyone's faces.
"They aren't brainwashed. They're serious about capturing me and handing back over to those people." Asta thought, dread starting to fill his body.
Upon instinct, the ash-white hair teen dashed towards the door, thankfully still opened, whilst taking out his Seiken Sword-Driver.
When the ash-white hair teen exited the Sword Of Logos headquarters, he transformed into his Crimson Dragon form.
When the swordsman of flames turned around, he saw Joyeues, Espada, Kenzan and Blades coming out of the doors.
"Hm? So Blades gained a new form from that Wonder-Ride book that I gave him…." Saber thought as he took a quick glance at Blades's King Lion Daisenki before a stab of betrayal past through his body.
"So that what your new form looks like in person." Kenzan commented as she glance towards the swordsman of water.
"Yes, that's correct." Blades responded whilst getting into a battle stance.
"Please don't make this h-hard on us." Joyeues said, attempting to keep her voice calm as she stare at the swordsman of flames.
"….No. there's something's I must do." Saber responded, remembering Daichi's request on finding the identity of the person who caused Hayato to turn his back on the Sword Of Logos.
"Then we have no choice to fight you." Espada said, causing another stab of pain to go through Saber's body.
Silence filled the air for a few seconds before Kenzan made the first move, going in a zig-zag movement before jumping into the air.
In response, Saber used the staff-like piece on his left gauntlet to bat the swords-woman of the winds away.
The swordsman of flames then jumped back and glanced to the side just as Joyeues appeared, Argent-Couronne at the ready.
In response, Saber swing Rekka, deflecting the sword of steel to the side.
However, Joyeues quickly corrected her sword's projection, aiming the blade back at the swordsman of flames.
Saber used the flat side of Rekka to block the attack, ignoring the glare that Tetsuo is giving him, and moved back, but the swords-woman of steel gave chase.
"Sorry about this." Saber thought in regret before pressing the open page of "Brave Dragon", causing the red mechanical dragon to appear.
This immediately caused Joyeues to back away.
Brave Dragon glanced at Saber's opponents before glancing at the swordsman of flames himself, tilting its head to the side in confusion.
"Just…..just focus on defence…." Saber said in a weak tone of voice.
Brave Dragon nodded its head when the red mechanical dragon sensed Saber's sadness.
Royal Change!
A voice suddenly announced, causing both Saber and Brave Dragon to turn their heads towards the direction of the voice to see Blades transforming into his lion form.
"Eh!? Blades can transform into a lion?!" The swordsman of flames shouted in his head just as the lion-formed Blades lunged towards Brave Dragon.
The red mechanical dragon bared it's fangs, preparing to fight the lion-formed Blades before the "swordsman" of water got tackled by a white mechanical fox, causing it and the Blades to crash onto the ground.
Blades attempted to get back onto his "feet", but the white mechanical fox stamped one of it's feet onto him, causing the "swordsman" of water to growl in pain.
"W-What?!" Joyeues exclaimed in a shock tone of voice as she and the others stared at the white mechanical fox who seemed to have appeared through some purple mist.
"Hang on…" Saber thought, starting to realize something about the white mechanical fox.
However, before the swordsman of flames can think any further, Espada suddenly appeared in front of him and swing Ikauchi, the blade glowing with lighting.
"Better use Mana-Skin to protect myself!" Saber thought, becoming wide eyed as he saw that he can't properly block Ikazuchi, having the feeling that the swords-woman of lighting is attempting to paralyse him.
However, instead of the lighting-clad Ikazuchi striking Saber, it got block by another sword as the owner appeared in the similar manner as the white mechanical fox through some purple mist.
"Ghe!" Sayo grunted as she felt the lighting going through her body.
"M-Miss Rubah?!" Saber exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.
"Who-?!" Espada began to say but was cut off as Sayo pushed Ikazuchi to the side and then kicked the swords-woman of lighting in the stomach, causing her to stumble back.
"Miss Rubah! Are you okay?!" Saber asked, becoming concerned about how the purple hair woman got stuck by lighting.
"I'm okay. That lighting is nothing when I use Mana-Skin." Sayo responded with a smile on her face.
This cause Saber to sigh in relief.
"However…." Sayo began to say, causing the swordsman of flames to look back up at the purple hair woman.
"It's "Aunt Sayo"!" Sayo shouted whilst grabbing either side of Saber's helmet and shaking it.
"….." Everyone stared at the scene in front of them.
"She looks familiar…." Both Ryo and Tetsuo thought as they, plus Fiona and Secre, observe from the entrance of the Sword Of Logos headquarters.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Saber exclaimed, starting to feel dizzy from repeatedly getting his head shaken.
Luckily, Sayo released her hold on Saber.
"Sorry for not acting sooner but…." Sayo began to say whilst Saber began to regain his senses.
"I was shocked at the actions of your friends." Sayo said as she glanced at the others, a deep glare appearing on her face, making them flinch.
"Anyway. Our top priority is getting out of here." Sayo said before grabbing Saber's and the two began to run towards the forest just as her Grimoire, which possess a deep purple colour and swirl-like patterns, appeared, floating beside
It was at moment that Kenzan jumped over Espada and when the swords-woman of the winds touched the ground again, she lunged forwards, towards Saber and Sayo.
"We can't do that!" Kenzan said as she got the two swords of Hayate at the ready.
The purple hair woman glanced over shoulder before quickly moving out of the way just as Kenzan began swinging both of her two swords at her and Saber.
"The wielders of Hayate are known to possess good speed." Sayo muttered, gaining a frown on her face just as the pages of her Grimoire began to glow, causing Kenzan to jump back, becoming on guard.
"Mirage Magic: Royal Guards." Sayo announced and armored knights, possessing fox-like masks, appeared around her and Saber.
"Illusions? Are those knights supposed to slow our advance?" Joyeues asked in a haughty manner.
"….." Sayo blinked her eyes for a few seconds before turning her attention towards the swordsman of flames.
"Is this how the youngest daughter of Acier behaves?" Sayo asked, making Saber tilt his head to the side slightly.
"Not all of the time, no." Saber responded, making Sayo nod her head slightly.
"I see, but I think that Acier will be disappointed in Joyeues's current actions." The purple hair woman commented, turning her attention back towards the swords-woman of steel.
"W-what?!" Joyeues exclaimed, still recovering from the fact that Sayo seems to know her mother.
"I just simply stating the facts." Sayo commented whilst shrugging her shoulders slightly.
"Maybe you shouldn't have said that…" Saber said in a sheepish tone of voice despite his conflicted feeling towards his friends(?).
"Why you!" Joyeues exclaimed as she dashed forwards, Argent-Couronne at the ready.
Sayo's created knights moved to intercept the swords-woman of steel who began to swing her sword.
Like she expected, Argent-Courrone simply passed through one of the armored knights, but when Joyeues turned her attention an armored knight who was swinging a hammer at her head, the swords-woman didn't do anything.
However, when the seemingly illusion-created hammer touched Joyeues's head, the swords-woman of was sent flying backwards.
Luckily, Espada moved quickly and caught Joyeues before she crashed onto the ground
"What the heck just happened?!" Kenzan exclaimed in a shock tone of voice as she glanced between Joyeues and the armored knights.
"Surprised? I am able to make my illusions solid or not, this completely confuses the enemy." Sayo said with a smirk on her face.
"I can't even sense any difference with the Mana." Espada thought as she glance between the armored knights and Joyeues who seemed to be a stunned state.
With the battle between Blades and the two mechanical beings, the lion-formed swordsman of water is having a tricky time fighting the two of them once he'd managed to free himself from the white mechanical fox.
"Although I know how they are fighting, defeating them is a different matter." Blades thought, seeing how Brave Dragon is mostly defending, mainly because it seemed reluctant on fighting a friend(?) of Saber's, whilst the white mechanical fox is doing the attacking.
Speaking of the white mechanical fox, it dashed towards the lion-form swordsman of water, going in a sharp zig-zag manner.
"It's attempting to confuse me in which side it will attack me from!" Blades thought, becoming on guard whilst attempting to keep track of the white mechanical fox's movements.
The lion-form swordsman of water fired water-based Mana-Bullets at the white mechanical fox, but it easily dodged the attacks.
"This isn't good!" Blades thought just as the white mechanical fox decided to attack the lion-form swordsman of water from the right.
Blades attempted to jumped out of the way, but his path was blocked by Brave Dragon.
"Seriously!?" Blades exclaimed in his head just before the white mechanical fox used it's fangs to attack the lion-form swordsman of water, causing him to growl in pain.
After a few seconds, the white mechanical fox let go of Blades…..but only just to get smacked in the face by Brave Dragon's tail, causing the lion-formed swordsman of water to stumble backwards.
This attack caused the white mechanical fox to look at the red mechanical dragon with a perplexed expression on it's face, making Brave Dragon gain a sheepish on it's face in response.
However, the two being's silent conversation was interrupted in the form of Blades, who quickly recovered from Brave Dragon's attack, firing water-based Mana-Bullets, causing them to fly/jump out of the way.
Back to the fight with the Holy Sword wielders, Joyeues, Espada and Kenzan somehow managed to get through the illusion-created armored knights whilst Sayo and Saber backed away from them.
"Miss Rubah, please get out of the way. We just want to get this over quickly." Espada said in a pleading tone of voice.
"And why should I do that? You just going to hand Saber back to those heartless people, fully knowing that he's innocent." Sayo said in a stern tone of voice whilst attempting to open her "Gatebook" from behind her back.
"And you are suppose to be Saber's friends." Sayo stated as she kept her attention fixed on the three female Kamen Riders.
This caused three female Kamen Riders to flinch along with causing the swordsman of flames to lower his head, gaining a sad expression underneath his helmet.
"I agree with that." A voice suddenly spoke, causing everyone to become wide eyed before glancing towards the source of the voice to see a white-robed figure standing next to a tree.
"Whose he?!" Mostly everyone thought at the same.
"The Holy Swords are created to protect the two worlds from the forces of evil, not to fight amongst each other." The white-robed figure said before sighing.
"Honestly, what are the nobles are thinking? Making friends turn into enemies. They think that life is a simply game to them, being confident that they will face no consequences. And the chairman is a descendant of Lumiere? Thank goodness that he's isn't a direct descendant of the hero that saved the Clover Kingdom 500 years ago." The white-robed figure continued to say whilst shaking his head slightly before glancing towards Joyeues.
"I thought that you might have picked up some aspects from Lumiere, considering that you are one of the last people who talked to him before his death." The white-robed figure commented, making Joyues to become angry.
"How dare you! Who are you anyway?!" The swords-woman of steel demanded in angry tone of voice.
"He's Avalon's guardian." Saber said, causing everyone to become wide eyed.
"He was the person that Saber meet when getting the "King Of Arthur" Wonder-Ride book?" Mostly everyone thought at the same time.
"Avalon? As in that lost place?" Sayo asked, glancing towards Saber.
"Yes. I'd managed to reach it." The swordman of flames responded, causing Sayo's eyes to perk up.
"Really?! Richita would be proud of you!" The purple hair woman said in an excited tone of voice.
This cause a small smile to briefly appear underneath Saber's helmet.
"Its good to see you again, current wielder of Rekka. My name is Yuri." The now known Yuri said whilst raising an arm and drawing his hood back, revealing that he possess short black hair.
Yuri then noticed something.
"It would seem that Blanc has taking a liking to you." Yuri commented, causing Saber to become confuse before noticing movement on his shoulder, making the swordsman of flames turn his head to see the same white-feathered bird that he saw on Yuri's shoulder back in Avalon and Saber noticed that the tips of the feathers are done in silver.
"So your name is Blanc huh." Saber commented before starting to stroke Blanc.
This cause the white-feathered bird to make soft chirping noise.
"That's my spot!" Nero shouted in her head, becoming angry, she having decided to view the battle in her bird form.
"But now, we need to get out of here. You have an important role to play." Yuri said as he turned his attention towards the other Kamen Riders.
This cause them to become tense as they felt the immense Mana that the guardian of Avalon possess whilst Brave Dragon and the white mechanical appeared next to Saber's, Sayo's and Blanc's side.
"Be careful, we don't know what he's capable of." Blades, now out of his lion form and appearing next to the three female Kamen Riders, said whilst gripping Nagare tightly, making the female Kamen Riders nod their heads.
Ryo and Tetsuo, them having appeared also, have taken out Gekido and Suzume just in case.
With Yuri, the guardian of Avalon's Grimoire, which surprising possess two different colours, the front cover being gold whilst the back cover is black, along with silver lines, open and an object came came out of the pages which Yuri took hold of before strapping it to his waist.
Holy Saikou Driver
The object announced, causing everyone's eyes to widened.
"Is he….." Everyone thought, with Ryo and Tetsuo having a different reaction, whilst Yuri took out a Wonder-Ride book which is smaller than a regular Wonder-Ride book, possessing a glittering light-blue boarder whilst the cover shows a person holding two swords, one gold whilst the other is silver underneath the title of "Kin no Buki, Gin no Buki" before opening it.
Gold or silver?
"Kin no Buki, Gin no Buki" asked before Yuri closed the cover and then opening a gold coloured piece on the Holy Saikou Driver, now taking the form of a small sword.
Yuri then placed "Kin no Buki, Gin no Buki" into the slot.
Whose the best? Whose the best?
The new Wonder-Ride book announced with a larger version appearing behind Yuri.
"What's up with that standby sound?" Everyone thought, sweat-dropping.
"Henshin!" Yuri said whilst removing the sword from the materialized belt, causing "Kin no Buki, Gin no Buki" to open, revealing an image of an armored figure.
Release the radiance!
The sword announced, causing a bright light to occur, blinding everyone.
Who is the shining sword?
Saikou: Chapter one
The sword wielding the power of gold and silver.
The voice announced and when the light disappeared, everyone saw that the blade of the sword as becoming larger…..but Yuri has disappeared, making the sword hovering in the air.
"…..Mr Yuri?" Saber asked, becoming confused at the guardian of Avalon's disappearance.
"Yes?" The voice of Yuri responded back whilst just as the sword spun around to face the swordsman on flames, making him, along with everyone jump in surprise.
"Who are you?!" Joyeues demanded, coming back to her senses.
"I am Kamen Rider Saikou, the sword of light." The now revealed Saikou introduced himself.
"….Where in your armor?" Blades asked, tilting his head to side in confusion.
"I am the sword, and the sword is I. Now, time to "lecture" you four." Saikou responded, the eyes of the imaged armored figure glowing with each word.
"Really? Your just a sword?" Kenzan asked with a raised eyebrow, yet her Ki reading says otherwise.
"Hmph. Such words will lead to your fall." Saikou said before suddenly zooming forwards, making Blades, Joyeues, Espada and Kenzan to scatter and attempt to defend themselves.
However, Saikou was faster, striking each one of them.
"Should you two help them?" Fiona asked, she decided to oberve the battle as well, seeing how Ryo and Tetsuo have their Holy Swords out.
However, both of them have became silent, still in a state of shock, more than the appearance of the sword of light.
"Now. Let there be light!" Saikou said before a button on the sword of light pressed itself.
Release the radiance!
The voice announced, making light green energy surround the blade of the sword of light before starting to spin.
Saikou then zoomed forwards, striking each of his opponents, causing them to come out of their armor.
"He managed to defeat them so easily…." Saber thought in awe.
"Now. Time to get out of here." Saikou commented just as his Grimoire appeared from somewhere before opening.
"Light Magic: Vanishing Light." Saikou announced, causing a bright light to appear.
When the light disappeared, Saikou, Saber, Sayo, Brave Dragon and the white mechanical fox have disappeared.
Silence started to fill the air.
And there we have, Asta not only get to meet the purple haired woman that was first shown in the picture that he received from Daichi, but also his grandfather, Ekrixi Staria. Although things went wrong when Asta attempted to visit the Clover branch of the Sword of Logos as his friends(?) tried to take him to the Magic Parliament, but was helped by Yuri who revealed him as the "swordsman" of light and the name of his bird companion. So I bet everyone is surprised as to the apperance of a relative of Asta and for those who may find it strange with the sudden apperance, then that will be revealed later on. With Sayo, there would be at least one of you may have an idea about what her...other persona may be.
In Geats:
1) Michinaga went and apologize to Sara about what he has done to her whilst Tsumuri, Win and Neon commented about the existence of the second Tsumuri that Jitto created. Meanwhile, Kekera requested for a Desire of his to be created, one that results in all the Kamen Riders, apart from Keiwa, to transform into objects that related to them, such as Neon transforming into a cat and Win into a pumpkin.
2) Kekera then approached Keiwa and Sara, who have become shocked that Michinaga has transformed into a a toy buffalo, where Daichi appeared and started to fight Kekera, only because of the time and effort to revive Sara, before Kekera teleported himself, Keiwa and Daichi to somewhere. Meanwhile, using a Driver known as the Zillion Driver, Jitto teleported to the space where Ace is currently held and began the process of making Ace into a "souless god".
3) With Keiwa and Daichi, Keiwa is dragged into a "game" with Kekera which involves Keiwa fighting Kekera within a time limit before three captured citizens get killed by a group of Jamatos. With Ace and Jitto, Ace managed to break free of the transformation process, leading to him and Jitto to fight each other, with Jitto transforming into Kamen Rider Regad. Back to the fight between Tycoon and Kekera, the citizens were able to get saved due to how the Jamatos used for the "game" where created by Daichi, thus being able to control them before Tycoon managed to defeat Kekera, resulting in his defeat.
4) With Geats-IX and Regad, Geats-IX managed to defeat Regad who then revealed that he was a construct of Suel who took the Zillion Driver and used it to transform into Kamen Rider Regad Omega before starting the final DGP.
The rule for this episode is that as long you continue to believe, you can change the world. So here we are, we starting the final stage of the series with Suel reappearing and starting the final DGP. I was kind of wondering when Suel will make his apperance, but here he is along with being able to transform into Kamen Rider Regad Omega.
Please review and until next time.
Brave Kid: Thank you.
mastergamer14: That...certainly will be bad news for everyone, especially for the upper-class who manly use magic to show their superiority. I would imagine everyone becoming shock that a weapon such as that exists, with Patry and the others having heard stories about the weapon, but weren't sure if they were true or not. Whilst it may helped them to stop Lucius's plan for good, I would imagine that those who have been effected with Lucius's soul magic will have some permanent effects to their souls.
howard576:
1) Yeah, I suppose it is strange that two opposing forces have the same opinion about the Clover Kingdom's Magic Parliament.
2) In canon, Damnatio placed Asta on trial because of him being a Devil without even possessing any evidence that that links Asta in being responsible for the reincarnation of the elves and the attack on the Clover Kingdom in the first place. Rita would certainly placed Damnatio in a conner, saying that they can't proceed with the trial if he can't provide any solid evidence to back up his claim, she even having the advantage of controlling the flow of the trial since she's a status of being a ruler whilst Damnatio holds a lower status within the Clover Kingdom's royal house of Kira, the status being lower than the king.
3) You're right about Sayo being Richita's friend, but she possessing a fox companion does put her identity as Sebela into question.
starwing1995: Thanks for the idea.
TBNRGAMERX:
1) I suppose that the Magic Parliament want the trial to get done without any interference.
2) Well, this chapter certainly answer those questions.
3) I guess that some of Gotchard's poses do look strange, but he may use different poses when transforming into different forms.
itspowertime:
1) I'm sorry for the last chapter disrupting the flow of the story, even though it did show how Damnatio gave the order to the Sword of Logos to capture Asta and bring him back to the Magic Parliament.
2) I only briefly mentioned the distrust that the nobility have towards the Sword of Logos earlier in the story, so the last few chapters just shows the broader side of it.
3) Well, the actions of the Magic Parliament certainly showed the breaking of bonds.
