Spell 24: The Evolving Wild Beast
As Spriggan continued to hold Wizard on a wall, the Ringed Mage soon saw that two Ghouls had pinned Osamu on a wall as he screamed in both pain and fear.
Wizard manages to push Spriggan, Wizard soon dodges slashed from the Phantom's sword and quickly moves behind him and pushes Spriggan on the wall.
"I've got this when I don't have a free hand!" Wizard said before he scans his Connect Ring on his Driver.
A magic circle appeared beside Wizard, he soon used to bring out and put on his Drago Timer.
[DRAGO TIME SET UP]
Wizard soon sets up his Drago Time and pushes on its switch.
[START]
As Wizard moves his back from Spriggan, the Phantom attacks him with his shield, Wizard parries it with his sword and dodges a slash from his sword. Wizard then pressed on his Timer's switch.
[WATER DRAGON]
Wizard Water Dragon soon appeared in a splash of water next to Osamu and the Ghouls around him as Wizard clone attacked the Ghouls with his sword while defending Osamu.
Water Dragon blocks two Ghouls' spears with his sword and pushes them back before he pushes their spears back and slashes them with his sword.
[HURRICANE DRAGON]
Wizard Hurricane Dragon appeared and landed close to Osamu before he grabbed onto Osamu.
"Nakamoto-san, grab on!" Hurricane Dragon told him, the archaeologist soon grabs onto the Wizard clone before he begins to fly as Osamu screams in fear.
Spriggan notices it as he turns to the escaping Hurricane Dragon and Osamu.
"Stop!" Spriggan said as he was to chase after them, but Wizard stopped him as Spriggan was forced to block a sword slash with his shield.
"I won't let you go!" Wizard said before he pressed on his Timer's switch.
[LAND DRAGON]
Wizard and Spriggan clashed blades, in that moment, emerging from the earth and close to Gremlin and the pinned Nitou was Wizard Land Dragon as he attacked the Phantom as Gremlin was forced to move away from Nitou to dodge it.
Gremlin parries a slash from Land Dragon followed with a dodge before they clashed swords two times.
Wizard parries a thrust from Spriggan and moves around the Phantom before he lands a kick on him forcing Spriggan to stumble back with Wizard following him.
Just as Water Dragon had defeated the Ghouls, Land Dragon forced Gremlin to move to Spriggan before the two Phantoms did a back-to-back as the three Wizards surrounded them.
"Guess I'll try again later!" Spriggan said before he ran away.
"I should get going too." Gremlin said before he retreats as well while chuckling.
"Stop, you thief!" Nitou said as he stood up and chased after the Phantoms and the three Wizards did the same.
Gremlin soon turns to them.
"Later!" Gremlin said before he crossed his blades and created a bright flashed which forced Nitou and the three Wizards to stop as they shielded their eyes.
When the light died down, Nitou saw that the two Phantoms were now gone along with any chance of getting his Driver back.
(Courage by Tomatsu Haruka)
(Instrumental) (As the song begins both of Wizard's Style and Dragon Rings floating in a dark space, and images of Shido and his friends appeared in each of them before a new and unknown Ring appeared between all of them.)
(Zutto hikari no naka kinō made wa nakatta ashiato o tadotte kita hodo) (The scene changes to Shido wearing his Flame Ring smiling and appearing close to him were Tohka, Koyomi, and Yoshino, then it changes to Nitou carrying his bag and wearing his Beast Ring and appearing close to him were Kotori, Rinne, Mikie, the Yamai Twins, Miku, Origami, and Kurumi before flashes of Shido, Nitou, and the Spirits changing form and ready for battle.)
(Gōru no mienai meiro ame ni utareta chizu kōkai mo nani mo nai kedo) (Then it changes to silhouettes of Wizard's Style Forms and Beast wearing his Mantles appeared one at a time before it changes to the PlaMonsters heading towards Wizard who was standing on his favorite park looking at Tengu City before he turns to the screen.)
(Sakenda koe wa) (The scene changes of Shido standing in an area of Tengu city as images of his life appeared, and then to Tohka in a different area as images of her life appeared as well.)
(The screen changes showing Tengu City and its famous landmarks.)
(Kitto todoku kara) (Next Yoshino and Koyomi appeared as images of their lives appeared, then Origami and Mikie appeared with images, then to Rinne and Koyomi, then to Kurumi and Miku, and finally Nitou)
(Then changes to Shido and his friends were about to take a group photo before Nitou suddenly wraps his arm around Shido's neck surprising both him and the others as the camera took the photo.)
(Kono monogatari no hajimaru kane no ne ga tsunagu tabi no tochū de) (The changes to Wiseman and standing next to him were Medusa and Gremlin, while Gremlin had a sinister smile on his face as he hid it. Then we see Shido and Nitou turning to them as an army of Ghouls were approaching them and they soon transformed into their Kamen Rider forms armed with their weapons and appeared next to them were the Spirits wearing their Spirit Armor armed with their Angels before they charged at the Ghouls.)
(Kimi ga egaita mirai no sekai wa itsuka no sora ni michibikarete) (Wizard was seen clashing swords against Gremlin before the two entered a bladed lock, then it changes to Beast fighting against Medusa before it changes to the Spirits each throwing an attack at the Ghouls.)
(Futatsu no omoi o hitotsu zutsu katachi ni shite kiseki o motto koete) (Then it suddenly changes to Koyomi falling into a dark abyss and saw Wizard had entered the abyss as he reach out to her and she does the same, and when the two hold hands a flash of light had appeared between them. Then it changes to Wizard and his friends standing in front of a large door as it opens revealing a bright light, his friends are giving him smiles of encouragement as Wizard smiles back at them as he enters the light.)
(Kimi ga egaita mirai no sekai wa ima mo dokoka de ikitsudzukete) (Then scenes of Shido meeting the Spirits and helping them appeared and each of them ended with them kissing them before it changes showing a dark sky with an eclipse appearing and a giant magic circle appeared in Tengu City)
(Don'na yume kasanete itsuwaru koto no nai ano hikari o) (Then the screen showed flashes of Wizard's battle thus far with flashes of his friends smiling appearing as well, before it changes to Shido shedding a tear as it falls and when the tear lands on his hand it transforms into a new Ring.)
(Ahh…on give for my way) (Then it changes to Shido standing side-by-side with his friends as the sun rises behind them. Then changes to Wizard's sword stabbed on the ground with the sun shining above it.)
After both Gremlin and Spriggan got away, Shido had brought both Nitou and Osamu to Omokagedo and met up with the rest of their friends. Nitou had told everyone how his Driver was stolen by Gremlin.
"You can't devour Phantoms without your belt, right?" Rinne said in worry.
"Then you'll die when you run out of magical energy!" Tohka said in worry.
Osamu's eyes widened to hear that before Nitou spoke out.
"I know that! Say no more." Nitou then walks and sits down on the couch. "On top of that, it's cutting it pretty close! What'll I do?!"
Everyone grew concerned on how to help Nitou as they tried to think of a way to help him. Koyomi then looks at her Please Ring and Shido looks at it as well.
"Wait. What if I use the Please Ring?" Shido said and Koyomi then held the Ring with her other hand.
"Oh, yeah! I forgot about that." Kaguya said.
"Nitou, I might be able to share some mana with you." Shido said before he stood up.
"Nani?!" Nitou said before he stood up as well. "You should have said so sooner if you could do that!"
"Bang!" Shido fired at Nitou's face with his finger and he flinches and placed a hand on his nose.
"But still, that might work. You share some of your mana with Koyomi thanks to that ring, it might do the same with Nitou." Kotori said.
"That's such a great idea. As expected of my darling." Miku said.
"Koyomi." Shido said as he offered his hand for the Ring.
But Koyomi turns away from Shido.
"But you just used it yesterday. Plus you used a lot of energy by duplicating yourself. Shido, if you become helpless too…" Koyomi said in concern.
"It'll be okay. I just want to test it. Believe in me." Shido told her.
While still concerned about it, Koyomi nodded and removed her Ring to give it to Nitou and he quickly accepted the Please Ring.
"Thank you, Koyomi-chan." Nitou said in gratitude before he put on the Please Ring.
Shido was about to take his hand, but Nitou then grabbed onto Shido's shoulders to bring him in front of him instead. Nitou then scanned the Please Ring on Shido's belt to use, but…
[ERROR]
Everyone was left worried to see that, Nitou then looked at the Ring closely as he wasn't surprised by this outcome.
"Worrisome: It failed." Yuzuru said.
"So much for that idea." Shido said.
Nitou then placed his hands on his hips.
"Chimera is a wild beast, after all. He won't eat food that's just given to him!" Nitou said as he removed the Please Ring and gave it back to Koyomi. "I guess."
Nitou then sat back down. Tohka then lowered to Nitou's waist and called out to his Inner Phantom.
"Come on, Chimera! This is no time to be stubborn! Nitou will starve to death at this rate!"
"You're wasting your time, Tohka. I highly doubt that old lion will hear you, let alone give you a reply." Kotori said.
"But…What can we do now?" Yoshino asked.
Mikie then looks at the Engage Ring on her finger and soon comes up with a new idea.
"Then…Shido-san's got to go into Nitou-san's heart to defeat Chimera." Mikie suggested.
"I already said no to that." Nitou rejected before he stood up and faced Mikie. "I don't want my rival dying inside of me."
"How do you know Shido-san is going to lose?!" Mikie said, taking offense to that.
"Yeah! There's no way my darling will lose to anyone!" Miku said.
"This is what'd happen to Dragon!" Nitou said as he uses his hands to picture Chimera eating Shido's Dragon.
"You don't know how strong Dragon is!" Mikie said.
As they continue to argue, Rinne broke them up as she pushed them away from each other.
"Stop it!" Rinne said, and they stopped arguing.
"Looks like we've got to recover the belt from Gremlin." Wajima said.
"But the only question is how? He's too slippery to be caught." Kotori said.
"Maybe we should hear the details from Nitou and…" Rinne said before she turned to Osamu. "Nakamoto-san, can you tell us about the robbery."
"Eh?" Osamu said.
Shido along with Nitou, Kotori, Rinne, Tohka, and Yoshino had brought Osamu to his lab in the Asahina Archaeology Lab.
While Tohka and Yoshino were looking at the relics inside the room, Nitou had told Kotori about the details on how his Driver was stolen.
"So you didn't see it get stolen, Nitou?" Kotori asked.
"Right." Nitou nodded. "I was sound asleep until Nakamoto-san's scream woke me up."
"So Nakamoto-san, you were the first person to notice it was gone?" Rinne asked as she turned to the archaeologist.
"Yes. That's right. Something like that." Osamu said.
"Then did you see Gremlin steal it?" Kotori asked.
"Oh, I saw it." Osamu nodded. "I was also asleep, but the sound woke me up and I saw him running away."
"From where exactly?" Kotori asked.
"Eh?!" Osamu said as he had a nervous look on his face. "Ummm…if I recall that window. The shock's made my memory a bit hazy…"
That gave Kotori the answer she needed before she turned to Shido and nodded at him. Understanding her message, Shido soon moved to Nitou who was seated on a chair as he was looking at the empty glass bottle drink before he placed a hand on his shoulder.
Both Shido and Kotori had brought Nitou to the fossil display room.
"Hey…wasn't it Nakamoto-san who stole your belt and ring?" Shido asked.
"Huh?! What are you saying?! His artifacts were stolen too!" Nitou said.
"That's obviously a lie now." Kotori said. "I had my crew do a background check on Nakamoto-san. Despite his years of experience, he has yet to discover any groundbreaking artifacts or any inspiring breakthroughs."
"So after years of failure, this is a big chance for Nakamoto-san. That's why-" Shido said before Nitou stopped him as he raised his hand in front of him.
"Alright, got it! Say no more. I'll check with him." Nitou said before he ran back to Osamu's lab.
"Eh?! Wait a moment!" Kotori calls out.
Back inside of Osamu's private lab, Tohka and Yoshino were looking at pictures of Nitou's Beast Driver along with Osamu's own artifacts.
They then stopped as they saw Nitou had returned as he opened the door and entered the room. Nitou then sets his sights on Osamu and moves in front of the archaeologist.
"Hey, you! Did you steal my belt and ring?" Nitou said.
"Eh?!" Tohka and Yoshino gasped in shock while Rinne remained calm.
"So, he was lying." Rinne said.
Shido and Kotori had heard as they walked into the room as well.
"How straightforward!" Kotori said.
"How bold." Shido said.
Osamu had a nervous smile on his face as he tried to remain calm and acted innocent.
"What are you talking about?" Osamu asked.
"Were you lying about your artifacts getting stolen?!" Nitou asked.
Osamu looks at the other teens as they stare at him in suspicion now.
No! No, no, no!" Osamu denied quickly and loudly. "Enough! I don't want to be guarded by people who distrust me! Get out!"
Osamu then quickly pushed Shido and the others out of his lab one at a time.
"Get out! Get out!" Osamu said before he closed the door in front of them.
"Hey, wait!" Tohka calls out as she knocks on the door and continues to call out to him.
"Guess that proves our suspicion then." Kotori said.
"What are we going to do now?" Yoshino said while Yoshinon tried to come up with something.
"Nitou." Shido said, and Nitou turned to him and said.
"No…I'm glad actually."
Everyone then looks at him in shock.
"What are you saying? He stole your belt and Ring, you're not angry about it?" Yoshinon asked.
"Yep. Because the ring and belt should be safe with Nakamoto-san. I should have known the Gremlin bit was fishy. Well, the question is what to do next." Nitou said, and everyone smiled in agreement.
"Right. The Phantom will probably attack again." Shido said before he noticed that Tohka was still holding the pictures of Nitou's Beast Driver and he soon had an idea. "Tohka, can I ask you to run and get me something?"
"Yeah, of course. What is it?" Tohka asked and Shido pointed at the pictures.
"That." Shido said.
Tohka blinks in confusion before she looks at the pictures.
(Meanwhile)
The Phantoms Gremlin and Spriggan were in an underground tunnel.
"What do you mean by helping me?" Spriggan asked before he changed to his human form. "Gremlin."
Gremlin then changes to his human form as well before he chuckles, Gremlin then moves up on a stairway and sits down.
"Let me tell you something good. That Gate's heart is supported by the world acknowledging his research." Gremlin told him.
"Nani?!" Spriggan said.
That's when Medusa had arrived as she appeared behind Gremlin.
"How do you know that?" Medusa asked.
"Last night…I met him!" Gremlin said as he turned to Medusa.
(Flashback)
Osamu was in the Asahina Archaeology Lab's archives room. He was standing between two shelves as he was looking for a certain book that would help in his research.
He soon finds it and grabs onto it, that's when he notices Gremlin was spying on him through a gap on the other side.
"Hello~ Nakamoto-san." Gremlin greeted him, and Osamu stepped back in shock.
"Who are you to be here so late?" Osamu asks as Gremlin walks out of shelves and turns back to the archaeologist.
"Congratulations on your historical discovery." Gremlin told him.
"T-Thanks." Osamu said.
"But what a pity. Nitou Kousuke-kun's belt and ring…if you had found them first, your research would've been worth so much more!" Gremlin said as he walked to Osamu with a sinister smile on his face and laughed.
Osamu lowered his head before Gremlin placed an arm on his shoulders, and showed the glass bottle drink that would soon share with Nitou.
"Oh, here's a present from me. It's alcohol-free but it helps you sleep really well." Gremlin said as he offered the bottle to Osamu.
His eyes widened in understanding that Gremlin must have mixed something into the drink that would make people fall asleep once they consume it.
After falling into the temptation of how the world will recognize his achievements along with Gremlin's own manipulation, Osamu took the bottle.
Then it flashes to him pouring into two cups, followed by them drinking together but Osamu only pretends to drink it. Then when Nitou had fallen asleep thanks to that, Osamu carefully took Nitou's Ring off of his finger and pick up his Driver.
"With a little temptation from me…he went ahead and stole Beast's belt and ring." Gremlin told them before he laughed.
(End of flashback)
Medusa then walks down to Gremlin.
"You didn't approach the Gate to find his moral support, did you? You go around stirring up trouble. Just what are you thinking?!" Medusa questioned him.
Gremlin soon stood up and answered.
"I merely want to know everything." Gremlin then turns to Medusa and walks to her. "About the Sabbath…About mages…And what Wiseman knows…all of it."
Gremlin smiles and chuckles before he leaves with Medusa watching him in suspicion.
After Tohka and Yoshino left to go get the said item Shido requested, Shido, Nitou, Rinne, and Kotori were outside with Nitou seated on a bench. As he was sitting Nitou had a disheartened look on his face.
"You don't look well. Are you okay?" Rinne asked.
Nitou raised his head and showed a smile on his face.
"I'm just hungry. Is there a convenience store around here?" Nitou says in wonder and Shido turns to him.
"You're not the hungry one, right?" Shido asked, and Nitou turned to him.
"I am." Nitou said.
Rinne then sat down.
"You don't blame Nakamoto-san, do you?" Rinne asked.
"But you should. He deserves a good punch in the face." Kotori said.
"No, no. No need to go that far." Nitou told them.
"Your life is at stake. I'd never forgive him if it were me." Kotori said.
"It's fine since I do." Nitou said before he stood up and walked forward. "I understand how he feels."
In the lab, Osamu slowly opens the door and walks out of the room as he looks around for Shido, Nitou, and their friends along with any Phantoms. After seeing no one was around, Osamu quickly locks the door with his key.
He was now in the archives room, he was reading a book to look for any links to his research but so far he found nothing.
"This isn't it…" Osamu mutters.
"Shido!" Tohka shouted outside which got Osamu's attention. "We found it! Me and Yoshino found it!"
Curious about this, Osamu walks to the door and peaks into the hallway as he sees Tohka and Yoshino had returned.
"We found it, Shido-san…" Yoshino said as both she and Tohka stopped as Shido and the others had appeared in the hallway as well.
"We found Nitou's belt!" Tohka said as she showed the Beast Driver in her hand.
"It was exactly where you said it was!" Yoshinon said.
Seeing that shocked Osamu.
"It can't be! When did they…?" Osamu said.
Now worried about this, Osamu quickly returns to his lab and unlocks the door as he runs inside, he then moves to a shelf and removed any book and item that was on it before he stops as he saw the real Beast Driver along with the Ring and his artifacts were still right where he left and hidden them.
"Huh?" Osamu blinks in confusion on what's going on.
"So you did steal them." Said Kotori as she appeared behind the archaeologist.
Osamu turned around and saw that Shido, Nitou, and the others were with her as they were staring at him, Osamu then saw that Tohka was holding the Beast Driver she found in her hands and Osamu turned to the other one.
"Then…what is…that belt?" Osamu asked.
"A fake." Shido said as Tohka showed the fake in her hand.
Tohka and Yoshino then remember Golem making the fake Beast Driver in Wajima's workshop as everyone was watching the familiar.
"We had a friend who's good at making things." Tohka said.
Osamu sighs in defeat as he lowered his head.
"What a fool. Why did you do that?" Kotori asked.
"Because I wanted to be acknowledged. Even I want that." Osamu said before he remembers a certain memory from his past.
(Flashback, many years ago)
A younger Osamu was leading an excavation with a team of archaeologists in a tomb.
Osamu was going through some rocks before he spotted something, he gently picked it up, he shook the dirt and sand on it and saw it was a fragment of a relic.
He soon brought the relic to the lab's chief as he was standing in his office.
"Well done, Nakamoto-kun. This will prove your theory!" He told him.
"Yes, Chief!" Osamu said in excitement.
But the chief took all the credit as the newspaper showed that the relic Osamu had found was his own discovery.
The chief was in a show as he was standing in front of several reporters who were taking pictures of him while others used video cameras to show the achievements he had stolen in live television.
"This is a clay fragment that I found." He told the reporters.
Osamu was watching him from outside of the room before he looked at the same newspaper in his hands and he soon crushed it in his hands.
(End of flashback)
"I wanted to clear away my bitterness from that moment. I thought that this discovery would be my last chance." Osamu said before he turned to the teens. "I had to make this one a success no matter what."
"But there's still a difference between the right and-" Rinne said as she moved to the archaeologist.
"Now, now, Rinne-chan." Nitou said as he followed her.
But then, Nitou suddenly feels weak and falls to his hands and knees.
"Hey, Nitou!" Shido said as he and the others knelt down to Nitou.
"What's wrong?" Tohka asked.
"Chimera is hungrier than I thought." Nitou told them.
"So you're finally at your limit." Shido said before he brings out an Engage.
Shido then grabs onto Nitou's wrist to put the Ring on his finger, but Nitou pulls his hand free.
"Stop making me repeat myself. It's no use." Nitou told him.
"We won't know till I try!" Shido said as he grabbed onto Nitou's shoulder. "As long as Chimera is in you, you will suffer!"
"So what?!" Nitou asked and everyone was left confused on what he meant, Nitou then explained to them. "It's true that I was scared when Chimera possessed me in the ruins. But…at the same time, it excited me."
Nitou then remembers the first time he met Chimera and transformed into Beast and fought using his new found magical abilities.
"What is this mysterious monster? What's this mysterious belt and ring? What will happen next? I wanted to know no matter what happened. This is a once-in-a-lifetime discovery! For me, Chimera is…a big chance." Nitou finished with an excited grin on his face.
"So that's what you were thinking?" Shido asked.
"Huh…Well I'll be damn. You're a lot crazier than I give you credit for." Kotori said.
"Are you an idiot or something? Risking even your life like that…" Rinne said.
"You understand, don't you? My dream?" Nitou said before he looks up at Osamu, and the old archaeologist couldn't help but smile at Nitou's determination.
"Looks like Gremlin was telling the truth." Said Spriggan as he entered the room and Shido stood up and faced him. "You guys are as careless as usual!"
Spriggan soon transforms into his Phantom form.
"You should have locked up your precious moral support in a bank!" Spriggan said before he fires at them.
Shido soon puts on his Defend Ring and scans it with his belt.
[DEFEND, PLEASE]
Shido created a shield to block Spriggan's energy shots as everyone knelt down to the floor.
Shido then took the fake Beast Driver from Tohka's hand and moved in front of the Phantom.
"You're not getting his moral support!" Shido said as he showed the fake Driver in his hand.
Spriggan then laughs at Shido.
"Can you really defend that?!" Spriggan said before he charges at Shido to punch him.
Shido dodges the incoming punch as he ducks under it, Spriggan soon turns back to him and throws in a few more punches as Shido dodges before blocking his next punch and grabs onto his arm.
"Nitou, I'm going to bring him down." Shido told him before Spriggan pulled his arm free.
Shido dodges a punch from Spriggan as he moves under it, Shido then counters by kicking on the Phantom's chest. Shido soon puts on and shows his Fall Ring.
"So be sure to come to eat." Shido said before he scans the Ring on his belt.
[FALL, PLEASE]
Shido created a hole beneath his feet before falling through it, just as Spriggan was about to attack him the hole soon expanded beneath the Phantom's feet as he fell through it as well.
Shido and Spriggan were now in the chairman's office as he was admiring one of his golf clubs before Shido and Spriggan battled each other forcing the chairman to hide behind his desk.
Shido lands a kick on Spriggan which forces the Phantom to stumble to the wall.
Shido soon puts on his Driver and flips the switches.
[SHABADOOBI TOUCH HENSHIN]
Shido soon raised his Flame Ring.
"Henshin." Shido said before flipping down the Ring's visor and scanning it on his Driver.
[FLAME, PLEASE: HI HI HI HI HI]
Shido transforms into Wizard and charges at Spriggan to battle him.
In Osamu's lab, Nitou picks up and puts on his stolen Rings and picks up his Beast Driver before he turns to his friends and Osamu.
"This is mine, so I'm taking it back." Nitou said before he put it on.
"Take care of Nakamoto-san."
"You got it." Tohka said.
Nitou heads to the door to leave and join up with Wizard, but Osamu soon stands up and calls out to him.
"W-Wait!"
Nitou stops and turns to the older archaeologist, Osamu picks up his relics before he walks to Nitou to give the said items to him.
"I'm sorry." Osamu said.
"Eh?" Nitou said.
"You're risking your life for your dream. But all I've done is try to wipe away an old regret…and ended up victimizing someone else, just as I was back then." Osamu said.
"Nakamoto-san." Nitou said.
"This should be…in your hands." Osamu said, and Nitou gratefully smiles and accepts the relics.
"Then…if you say so." Nitou said before he left.
Wizard and Spriggan were now battling outside as they clashed swords followed with Spriggan blocking Wizard's next attack with his shield.
Wizard and Spriggan clashed blades twice before the Phantom blocks another slash from Wizard using his shield. Spriggan then slashes at Wizard two times and Wizard dodges the first slash and blocks the second slash with his sword.
But Spriggan pushes Wizard's sword back with his shield and bashes it on his chest followed with two slashes on his chest before he kicks Wizard forcing the magic-theme Rider to stumble back.
"You're mine!" Spriggan said as he slashes at Wizard.
Wizard was about to block it with his sword, but Spriggan was able to cut the fake Beast Driver in half as it fell to the ground.
When Wizard looked at the cut fake Driver, Spriggan brought his sword to his neck.
"Looks like you weren't careful enough." Spriggan said to mock Wizard.
Just as Spriggan was about to attack Wizard once again, Nitou soon arrived wearing his Driver while holding the relics in his hands. Nitou stops and calls out to them.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Shido." Nitou said.
When Spriggan turns to Nitou, he is shocked to see him wearing the Beast Driver.
"I wasn't waiting." Wizard said as he stood up before Spriggan turned at him and Wizard kicked him away.
As Spriggan falls on his knee, he turns to Wizard who sighed and picks up the cut-in-half fake Driver.
"Aww."
"But I just destroyed the belt!" Spriggan said.
"It's a fake. I'm repeating myself." Wizard said as he turned to the Phantom.
"What?!"
"The real one is fairly hungry." Nitou said, getting Spriggan's attention. "Let me eat you right up."
Nitou soon raised his Beast Ring and swung his arms.
"Hennnnnnn~shin!" Nitou shouted before he inserted the Ring into his Driver.
[SET, O~PEN! L-I-O-N: LION]
Nitou transforms into Beast and claps his other hand on the relic.
"Saa, lunchtime!" Beast proclaimed before he charges at Spriggan.
"Then I'll destroy this one too!" Spriggan said as he stood up and a team of Ghouls appeared in front of him and faced Beast.
The Ghouls soon charge at Beast and attack him, Beast dodges one Ghoul's attack and pushes a second Ghoul's attack aside and jumps over another Ghoul's attack.
"First, the appetizers!" Beast said before he throws a kick at one Ghoul, but it easily blocks his kick and kicks Beast on the chest sending him rolling on the ground.
"My power…" Beast mutters as he still feels weak.
When Beast attempted to slowly stand back up, three Ghouls attacked him at the same time and Beast blocked their spears with the relic in his hand and pushed them back.
Beast manages to stand up and dodges two attacks from a Ghoul's spear and dodges another Ghoul's attack.
"I don't have any power…" Beast said before one Ghoul lands a hit on his stomach.
Wizard grew concerned to see this.
"Nitou!" Wizard said as he was about to move in and help but Spriggan got in his way as they clashed blades twice and brought their weapons in a lock.
"How careless of you to look away!" Spriggan said as he attacked Wizard with his shield forcing him to stumble away, preventing him from helping the weakened Beast.
Two Ghouls were holding Beast by the arms and threw them at two who were in front of him as they slammed their spears at him, sending Beast to the ground once again.
Beast manages to avoid two Ghouls' spear attacks as he rolls and stands up, but one Ghoul lands a good hit on his chest with its spear followed by a kick that sends Beast rolling on the ground again.
As Beast slowly stood up the Ghouls gathered in front of him.
"In that case, it's do or die!" Beast said before he brought out his newly acquired Ring and put it on his right hand. "You're hungry, right?"
The Ghouls had surrounded Beast before they charged at him to attack…
"I'm counting on you, Chimera!" Beast said as he inserted the new Ring into his Driver…
Nitou raised his head as he soon found himself in a familiar dark space. Nitou looks at the space around.
"Where am I?" Nitou said in confusion.
Then golden dust appeared around him, and appearing behind Nitou as mist taking form was the Phantom Chimera.
"Looks like your life is finally at its end." Chimera stated before Nitou turned at him.
"Chimera!" Nitou said before Chimera begins to circle around his human host.
"I thought that I had finally found a servant. But I suppose it is time we parted." Chimera said.
"Forget that! Tell me how this is used!" Nitou said as he showed the large stone relic in his hand. "Can I use it or not?! Which is it?!"
Chimera turns and looks at the relic in Nitou's hand and indeed recognizes it.
"If you used that, my power would be manifested in reality." Chimera said as he moved past Nitou. "However, can you endure that as you are now?"
Nitou looks at the stone relic before he smiles.
"So I can use this." Nitou said, and Chimera turns to his human host.
"Are you listening to me? As you are currently…"
"I know! Say no more." Nitou interrupted Chimera before he turned to his Inner Phantom. "Life-risking gambles are my way of life. A pinch is a chance. I'll definitely win. That's why you should accompany me, Chimera!"
Chimera hummed as he narrowed his eyes and saw the resolve in Nitou's eyes. Chimera soon laughs in amusement.
"Very well. I'll be waiting with my mouth open!" Chimera shouted before he jumps and entered into Nitou's body.
Nitou lit up in a bright light before it died down as a golden light surrounded his body and his Beast Driver was shining brightly.
"Alright! It's feeding time!" Nitou declared as he transforms into Beast once again.
In the real world, Beast's Driver lit up and shouted…
[HYPER…!]
The Beast Driver then gives up a bright light which blinded the Ghouls around Beast, stopping their attack before they flew above the ground.
Then appearing out of Beast's Driver was Chimera made out of golden fragments of magic power as it circles around Beast and destroys and devours the Ghouls around him at the same time as Beast stood up and a magic circle appeared in front of him as it went through his body.
[GO: HY-HY-HY-HYPER]
Chimera roared as it ran and jumped into the magic circle now behind Beast as the fragments of magic power scattered around him before it fused around his body and exploded in a blue flame as it changed Beast into a new form before it was blown away.
Beast's bodysuit had transformed into a blue color while his torso armor looked like a roaring lion's head with the broad shoulders looking almost like its mane. His armbands had become gold but also had leather straps hanging from them. His greaves had also turned gold with blue boots. Finally, his helmet had turned a royal blue with the mane area with golden lines while the face plate remained gold and his eyes turned red.
This is Kamen Rider Beast's Hyper Form.
The remaining Ghouls step away from Beast, Wizard sees Beast's new form as he parries a slash from Spriggan.
"Wow!" Wizard said before he parried another attack from Spriggan. "Gaudy!"
Spriggan then looks at Beast's new form in shock.
"Nani?!" Spriggan said.
The stone areas around Beast's newly acquired soon shattered as it was restored to its true form, and the stone around the other relic cracked up and shattered showing its true form.
The relic was revealed to be a gun that was colored blue with golden pieces, it had a picture of a golden lion on the side and had a mirror on the top with a ring slot behind it.
This is the Mirror Beast-Gun Mirage Magnum, or Mirage Magnum for short.
"I'm gonna eat you up!" Beast declared as he wielded his Mirage Magnum in his right hand.
Beast soon charges at the Ghouls in front of him and they do the same.
Beast roared before he jumps and kicks one Ghouls, he then blocks one Ghoul's attack with his leg and kicks on its head.
Beast then spun around and slams his knee on one Ghoul's attack sending it to the ground, Beast then parried one Ghoul's attack with his gun before he spun it around.
[MIRAGE MAGNUM]
Beast then uses his gun to fire at one Ghoul and fires at another Ghoul behind him, he soon dodges one Ghoul's attack and fires at a different one and kicks at the Ghoul who just attacked him.
Beast then blocks one Ghoul's incoming attack with his Mirage Magnum before he pushes it back, Beast then spun around and fired at the Ghouls around him destroying them as they exploded, and Beast devoured their mana.
With the Ghouls now taken care of, Beast soon sets his sights on Spriggan.
"You're next!" Beast calls out.
As Wizard and Spriggan clashed swords, the Phantom soon turns at Beast.
"Intriguing!" Spriggan said as he charged at Beast.
Wizard huffed as he rested his sword on his other hand letting Beast take care of Spriggan.
Beast fires at Spriggan but the Phantom blocks his energy shots with his shield and slashes at him, Beast dodges it before blocking another slash with his gun and fires at Spriggan but the Phantom blocks it in time with his shield.
Spriggan then thrusts his sword at Beast, and Beast dodges it as they move past each other. Spriggan turns around and kicks at Beast, Beast dodges it and counters with his own kick, but Spriggan blocks it with his shield and Spriggan swung his sword at Beast and the Rider blocks it with his Magnum.
Beast pushes Spriggan's sword back and fires at him, but the Phantom blocks it with his shield. Spriggan spun around to slash and kick at Beast, and Beast dodged his attacks and landed a kick on Spriggan forcing him to stumble back.
Spriggan soon stops and charges at Beast to attack again.
Beast spun and attack Spriggan with the straps on his arms as he extended their length and lands some good hits on Spriggan which pushed him back, Beast then fires at Spriggan and the Phantom blocks it with his shield and Beast attacks with his straps once again forcing Spriggan to stumble back.
When Spriggan stops stumbling, he soon fires at Beast using his shoulder cannons, Beast dodges it by running on the side and circling around Spriggan before he jumps and fires at the Phantom landing some strong shots which sends Spriggan rolling on the ground.
Beast soon lands on the ground as Spriggan sits up and glares at him.
"Impossible! You've gotten so much stronger!" Spriggan said.
Gremlin was watching as he was seated on the roof of the lab, and he couldn't but smile at Beast's newfound strength.
"The primordial mage has also evolved. With this, I wonder if you'll continue trying to increase the number of Phantoms…Wiseman." Gremlin said with a frown on his face.
Beast then held his Mirage Magnum in his left hand to initiate his finishing attack.
"Time for the main dish." Beast said before he kissed his Hyper Ring and inserted it into his Mirage Magnum. "Alright!"
But nothing happened which confused Beast.
"Huh? Wha? Huh?" Beast said as he tried inserting the Ring in the Mirage Magnum several times, but nothing was working. "Hey! Is the shape wrong? Heey! Hey!"
"Now!" Spriggan said as he stood up and fired at Beast which created explosions in front of him and sent Beast to the ground.
Beast then looks at the Hyper Ring and calls out to Chimera.
"Why, Chimera?! Work with me here!" Beast said as he stood up and smacked at his Mirage Magnum. "You even said you'd be waiting with your mouth op-"
Beast then realized something before he looked at the Hyper Ring and stood up.
"Perhaps…" Beast said before he pulled the Ring up which opens the mouth on it. "His mouth opened!"
Beast roared as he inserted the open Hyper Ring into his Mirage Magnum which was now a perfect for its slot.
Then appearing in the mirror was Chimera as he roared before the Inner Phantoms up as red energy and circled around Beast while running.
[HYPER MAGNUM STRIKE]
"This time, you're really my main dish!" Beast declared as he held the Mirage Magnum with both hands and aimed it at Spriggan before Chimera entered his body which charged the Magnum with energy before a magic circle appeared in front of it.
Beast soon pulled on the trigger and energy version of Chimera at Spriggan followed with a beam of magical energy.
Spriggan attempts to block it with his shield, but it soon shattered, and Beast's attack destroyed the Phantom as he exploded leaving Beast to devour Spriggan mana.
"Alright!" Beast cheered as he swung his arms and clapped his hands together. "Thanks for the meal! I finally ate something!"
Wizard chuckles.
"That was amazing." Wizard said.
(Next day)
Osamu was in the airport as he was ready to set out on his next excavation, walking with him was Nitou before they stopped, and Nitou showed the Hyper Ring in his hand.
"Leave this to me. I'll do your research too." Nitou promised the old archaeologist.
"I'm going to go excavating again. I remembered that my dream wasn't to be acknowledged by the world." Osamu said.
Shido and the others were watching them.
"It's to unravel the mystery of unknown ruins." Osamu said, and Shido lowered his eyes to hear that.
Nitou smiles when he hears that.
"Let me know if you find anything else interesting. Like a magic lamp or a magic carpet." Nitou said, which got Osamu's attention.
"Nani?!" Osamu said before he grabbed onto Nitou's wrists and they soon spun around. "Those also exist?! Where are they?! Which ruins?! Where should I be looking?! Tell me more!"
"I was just giving examples!" Nitou told him.
Shido and the others smile at them.
"Man. A dream is nice, but…maybe he should look into finding a way to survive." Kotori said.
"Yeah, but I can't help but be jealous. I wish I had a dream…Oh!" Tohka said before she grabbed onto Yoshino's hands. "We should try finding a dream together! Yoshino! Yoshinon!"
"Yeah…" Yoshino nodded.
"Yeah! I'm with you two, Tohka-chan!" Yoshinon said.
"Honestly, kinswoman, trying to find something to dream for yourself is so childish." Kaguya said.
"Doubtful: Aren't you feeling the same way?" Yuzuru asked, and Kaguya flinched.
"I'm not! Maybe…" Kaguya mutters.
"Now, now. There's no reason to rush, I'm sure you'll find your own dreams eventually." Miku said.
Mikie then realizes something before she turns to Shido.
"Ummm, what's your dream, Shido-san?" Mikie asked.
Both Rinne and Kotori flinched before they and everyone else turned to Shido.
"Oh, yeah! Please tell us, Shido!" Tohka said in excitement while Rinne and Kotori had worried looks on their faces.
Shido turns away from his friends.
"Right now…it's to defeat the Phantoms." Shido said before he turned around and left with his friends watching him.
"Right now?" Mikie said in confusion.
Yuzuru then turns to Kotori and Rinne.
"Question: Do you two know anything about it?" Yuzuru asked.
"No…Can't say that I do." Kotori said as she averted eye contact.
"Yeah…Same with me too." Rinne said before she looked at Shido in worry.
(Meanwhile)
Inside a dark cave at the outskirts of the city, a man wearing white clothes along with a dirty cloth that covers his head was inside. Around his wrists were magical chains that were attached to the walls to prevent him from moving.
Entering the cave was the Phantom Gremlin as he skips to the restrained man before he stops and greets him.
"Hello~, Naitou-san." Gremlin waved at the man bound by chains. "I've come to help you."
