I don't own Kamen Rider Wizard and Date A Live II. Those belong to their creators. Also I'm doing this for fun, not profit.
Spell 26: Tears
After WizarDragon's destruction, Shido's eyes widened as his Driver cracks up and shatters into dust of light. Shido screams in agony.
"Nii-sama!" Mana said in worry.
Then appearing in front of Shido was a purple crack, and jumping out of it was both Beast and the Phantom Legion. Beast lands roughly on his back while Legion lands on his feet, Legion looks at the screaming Shido in satisfaction before he leaves with Beast looking at him.
"Hey, wait!" Beast calls out as he stands up but looks at the fallen Shido and rushes to his side to check on him. "Hey, are you okay?! Pull it together!"
"Nii-sama!" Mana said.
Shido was on the verge of passing out before he weakly told this to his friends.
"Dragon…"
"Hey, Shido?!" Beast said.
"My magic…is gone." Shido then passes out.
"Nii-sama!/Shido!" Both Mana and Beast shouted in worry.
(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.)
"The Philosopher's Stone?" Said Wiseman as he still held Gremlin with his magic chain.
"You have it, don't you?" Gremlin asked, but instead of answering, Wiseman shocks Gremlin with electricity as he screams in agony.
"And what would you do if you knew everything, Gremlin?" Wiseman questions before he stops shocking Gremlin.
Gremlin took a moment to catch his breath, and soon spoke to Wiseman.
"I'm just like you. Because…I'm not Gremlin…I'm Sora." Gremlin raised his head at Wiseman showing the determined smile on his face.
After Legion got away, both Mana and Nitou had brought the unconscious and weakened Shido to the Fraxinus. Shido was in the medical room where Reine is checking his vitals along with his brainwave activity.
Outside of the room, Shido's friends minus Nitou, who had gone out searching for Legion, were watching from the other side of the room.
"Oh, Shido…" Tohka said in worry as she placed her hands on the viewing glass.
Rinne then placed a hand on her shoulder to comfort her.
"It's going to be okay, Tohka. Shido will pull through." Rinne said, but truthfully, she wasn't sure herself.
After she was done, Reine left the medical room and the others moved in front of her.
"Reine, how is he?" Kotori asked.
Reine and the others turn to the sleeping Shido.
"I did the best I could for him. The rest is up to Shin now." Reine told them.
"Shido-san…" Yoshino mutters in worry and Yoshinon gives her some comfort by rubbing on her head.
"When I was examining Shin's body while I could detect Spirit energy within him, he now has zero magic within him now." Reine told them.
"Which also proves that Dragon really is gone." Kotori said and Mana lowered her head in sadness for their brother.
"But Shido will regain his magic, right?" Tohka asked.
"I'm not sure." Reine shook her head.
Kotori sighed before she placed one of her lollipops into her mouth.
"Either way, it doesn't matter right now. Finding that Phantom is our top priority." Kotori told them.
Some of the others wiped away their tears as they nodded in agreement.
They head to the bridge to see if the crew had found something, but Tohka stops as Koyomi stays behind.
"Koyomi, aren't you coming?" Tohka asked.
Koyomi shook her head.
"No, you go on ahead. I'll watch over Shido." Koyomi told her.
"Alright. But let me know if he wakes up." Tokha said before she joined the others once again.
Koyomi then turns back to Shido before she looks at his Please Ring.
As Shido was sleeping, in his mind he could hear a faint but familiar voice calling out to him.
"Shido…Itsuka Shido."
Shido's eyes flinch as he turns his head side to side.
"Dragon…Is that you?"
"Shido…" Dragon responded but his voice only grew quieter.
"Wait…" Shido mutters.
"Shi…"
"Please wait, Dragon!" Shido shouted as he reached out his hand and closed it. "Dragon!"
Shido's eyes sat open as he sat up and found himself in the Fraxinus' medical room. Koyomi was surprised by this before she hid behind the wall but looked at Shido.
"The Fraxinus…?" Shido said before he groaned.
Shido then remembers what happened to Dragon. Wanting to be sure, Shido tossed his blanket aside and placed his Ring in front of his felt to bring forth his WizarDriver, but nothing happened which meant only one thing to Shido before he pants and looks at his hand.
"My magic really is gone…" Shido said with Koyomi looking at him in worry before Shido punches on the bed in frustration.
(Meanwhile)
In the city, Nitou still continues to look for Legion before he stops for a moment and looks at the surroundings and people around him, but so far, he hasn't found any trace of him.
"I'm sorry, Shido. I swear I'll get that Phantom." Nitou said before he runs forward to resume his search for Legion.
In the Fraxinus, Kotori and her crew search for Legion as well using their surveillance systems along with every camera in the city but so far, they found nothing.
"Come on, crew! I want this Phantom found, and I want him now!" Kotori said as she slams her hand on her armrest.
"We're trying our best, commander. But it's still like we're trying to find a needle in a haystack." Nakatsugawa told her.
"Then work double time if you have to!" Kotori ordered.
"Yes, ma'am!" They all responded as they worked faster to search for Legion.
"You may hide Phantom, but you can't run from me." Kotori swore.
Everyone in the room heard the door opening, they soon saw Shido entering the room as he put on his jacket while stumbling on his feet.
"Shido! You're awake!" Tohka said in relief as she runs up and hugs him.
"Sorry to worry, Tohka. All of you." Shido said to Tokha and then to the others before he turned to Kotori. "Have there been any signs of the Phantom?"
"No, we're still trying to locate him." Kotori shook her head.
Shido then removed Tohka's arms.
"Then I'm going down there." Shido said as he turned to the door to leave. "I need to find that Phantom."
"Wait, Shido!" Rinne said as she moved in front of him and grabbed onto his shoulders. "You can't fight in your condition."
"That's right! You don't have Dragon anymore." Mikie said.
"All he did was defeat Dragon. Plus, I still have Spirit power." Shido smiles at them as he removes Rinne's hands. "I'll be fine."
"Shido, we're doing all we can to find that Phantom. Plus, Nitou's looking for him. There's no reason for you…" Kotori said.
"I can't let him run around attacking people!" Shido exclaimed, which forced everyone to become quiet as they looked at him in worry. Realizing what he did, Shido forced a smile on his face. "Sorry. Nitou can't handle him alone…"
Shido then leaves the room.
"Shido!" Tohka calls out but Shido ignores her.
"What's wrong with him?" Kaguya said in worry.
"He's in a state of confusion." Reine said, which made the others turn to her.
"What do you mean?" Miku asked.
"While the responsibility was forced upon him…but it hasn't sunk-in that his magic is gone." Reine said. After using the Fraxinus transporter, Shido was now walking slowly in the city to search for Legion. "Even though he never asked for the power, magic and being a Kamen Rider had become a part of Shin's life."
Knowing what they have to do, Rinne then leaves the room.
"I'm going after him." Rinne told them.
"Me too." Tohka said as she followed Rinne.
Unknown to everyone, Koyomi was hiding behind the other door that leads to the bridge as she overheard everything.
After Tohka and Rinne had been transported to the location Shido used to arrive in the city. After running for a while, they soon saw Shido who was using the railing to support himself.
"Shido!" Tohka said before she and Rinne ran to him and Tohka placed her hands on his arm. "Just calm down."
"Shido. We've been relying on you too much. So just this once, at least leave it to us." Rinne told him.
Shido wasn't sure what to say about this, and that's when Nitou had arrived as he looked for Legion before he spotted Shido and the others and was surprised to see that Shido was awake.
"Shido! You're awake?!" Nitou said as he ran to him and stopped.
"Nitou." Tohka and Rinne said.
"You're back to normal already?" Nitou asked.
"The Phantom-" Shido said, and Nitou stops him by saying.
"Listen! It's my fault that your Dragon got killed. I don't know how to apologize for that, but I do know…that as you are now…Since you can't use magic now…you can't defeat the Phantom!" Knowing that he's right, Shido took a moment and leaned against the railing behind him. "So for now, just sit tight. Please."
Nitou bowed his head while leaving Shido unsure on what he should do himself.
Unknown to them is that a certain black dress girl was spying on them with a smile on her face.
(Meanwhile)
In an alleyway, a garbage man had fallen to the ground before a crack portal appeared above him and jumping out of it was Legion.
Legion then changed to his human form, and while he was successful in destroying the garbage man's heart, he didn't feel satisfied with it.
"It's not exciting. Why isn't it exciting?" Legion said before he remembers his battle against WizarDragon and Beast in Shido's Underworld, while he was successful in destroying Dragon, that alone didn't destroy Shido's heart. "Is it because I failed to destroy his heart?"
Knowing what he needs to do to get his excitement back, Legion leaves the alleyway to search for Shido.
After Shido had agreed to let his friends handle Legion, Nitou, Kotori, Mana, Tohka, Rinne, Yoshino, Mikie, the Yamai twins, and Miku decided to hold a meeting in a dark room and was seated on a round table.
"Alright, now that we're all here. Let our first Phantom hunting meeting commence." Kotori said, acting as the chairman of their meeting.
"Man…She certainly lives to be in charge." Nitou says quietly and Kotori narrows her eyes at him.
"What was that?" Kotori said and Nitou flinched.
"Nothing!" Kotori smirks.
"Good." Kotori said before she coughed in her hand. "Alright, now our first order of business is hunting down the Phantom known as Legion. Does anyone have any ideas?"
"Well…" Tohka said, getting everyone's attention. "Maybe we should go out looking for it? I mean we know what he looks like now, so hunting him down won't be a problem."
"Questionable. That is true, but you shouldn't forget that this is still a big city. Not to mention Kotori's crew still hadn't found any signs of him yet." Yuzuru told him.
"Oh, right…sorry." Tohka lowered her head.
"Then how about we get Origami-san to help?" Mikie said, getting their attention this time. "If it's to help Shido-san, I'm sure she'll be more than willing to help."
"I agree but given the situation and considering that this is an all-hands-on deck mission, I highly doubt she'll work with…" Kotori said before she looked at the Spirits in the room and Mikie understood what she meant as she lowered her head.
"Right…Sorry." Mikie said.
Kotori then folded her arms and tapped her finger.
"If searching for it won't help, then maybe we should try a different approach." Kotori said, getting the others' attention.
"What do you mean?" Mana asked.
"Well, think about it. What's Legion's main target regardless of if they're a Gate or not?" Kotori asked.
"That's easy, it's mostly people with beautiful hearts. People who aren't Nitou." Kaguya said.
"Yeah…Hey!" Nitou said, and Kaguya chuckled.
"That's right. And so far, his victims are people who did good deeds and people who express their beauty. Like a crossing guard, a police officer, an artist and a musician." Kotori said.
"I see. So, we should try to lure him out by using those desires." Mana said.
"That's right, and thankfully…" Kotori said as her eyes turned sharp white while sparkles appeared above them. "We have the perfect bite right here."
Kotori turns to the said bite, the others turn to it as well and the bite was Izayoi Miku, the famous pop singer, idol, and the singing Spirit known as Diva.
Miku blinks as their attention was now on her before she pointed at herself.
"Huh?"
(With Shido)
Shido is seen in his favorite park where he had a good view of the city. Shido was seated on a bench, he then looked down at his belt and placed his Driver On Ring in front of it in another attempt to bring out his Driver, but once again nothing happened.
Shido is left saddened by this as he looks at his Ring.
"My, you seem to be down in the dumps, Shido-san."
Shido blinked before he turned around and saw Kurumi standing behind him.
"Kurumi?" Shido said, slightly surprised to her again before he narrowed his eyes.
"Oh my…Do you really have to be defensive every time you're around me?" Kurumi asked.
Shido sighed before he turned away from the Spirit who can control time.
"Listen…I'm really not in the mood for your little games." Shido told her.
"Because you lost your magic, right?" Kurumi asked, Shido was surprised at first before he lowered his head while sighing.
"Of course, you already know about that." Shido said.
"Indeed. Afterall, I always make sure to keep an eye on you." Kurumi said. "But you shouldn't worry, I'm not going to try to take advantage of that."
"Yeah…Like I could believe that." Shido said, and Kurumi pouted to hear that.
"Oh! It's Mage-san!" Said a young girl.
Shido and Kurumi saw it was the brother and sister that Shido had befriended earlier as they moved towards Shido with Shiori smiling at him.
"I knew it!"
"Oh, it's you two." Shido smiles at the siblings before he stands up.
Shiori then grabs onto Shido's hand in excitement.
"Hey, show me more magic! Please!" She requested.
Shido sadly smiles at her before he places his hand on her head.
"I'm sorry, I can't show you anymore." Shido told her.
"Why?" Shiori asked.
Shido then turns to the city that he had sworn to protect, only to accept he can't protect it or anyone anymore.
"I can…no longer do magic." Shido said with Kurumi staring at him.
Koyomi had returned to Omokagedo, and told Wajima the news about Shido's current situation. After he left, Koyomi took a moment to look at her Please Ring and slowly took it off.
In the city, Legion continues his search for Shido but stops as he hears music along with some singing.
(Cue: Mermaid Lovestory)
"Are ha gogo no hirusagari"
"Shiokaze o uke te kagayai ta egao mitsuke te kara"
"Naze ka mieru mono subete kirakira de"
"Atama no naka ha anata de ippai desu"
Now drawn by this, Legion looked and saw Miku wearing an outfit and was standing on a small stage and in front of her was a small audience of nine people.
Legion listens to Miku singing with all of her heart and is now drawn to her.
(End of song)
"Beautiful…I suppose it wouldn't break her heart next." Legion said before he approached Miku in the attempt to invade her Underworld.
But then, Legion heard someone roaring and saw it was Nitou charging at him and throwing a kick. Legion dodges it and dodges two more kicks from Nitou.
"Finally found you, Phantom-san." Nitou said.
"You again? I have no interest in you!" Legion told him.
"You may not, but I do!" Nitou said before he scans his Driver On Ring on his belt.
[DRIVER ON]
Nitou then raised his Beast Ring and swung his arms around.
"Hennnnnnn~shin!" Nitou shouted and inserted his Ring into his Driver.
[SET, O~PEN! L-I-O-N: LION]
Nitou transforms into Beast and charges at Legion and kicks at the crazed Phantom several times before Legion catches one of his kicks.
Legion's eyes light up and he changes into his Phantom form and throws Nitou to the ground as he rolls on it.
When Beast stops and stands back up, he dodges two attacks from Legion's voulge before he blocks another attack with his arms, Beast then grabs onto the voulge and lands a kick on Legion.
Legion then throws Beast to a nearby wall, and the moment stops on it, Legion swings his voulge at him and Beast dodges by rolling on the ground. Beast quickly stood up and charged at Legion.
"This punk!" Beast said before he dodges another attack from Legion by jumping on the wall and kicking on Legion's back forcing the Phantom to stumble forward.
Then the moment Legion stops stumbling, he sees an incoming energy slash heading towards him, Legion blocks it in time and pushes it aside. Legion then saw that his attacker was Tohka wearing her limited Astral Dress and wielding her sword.
Legion then saw Mana, Yoshino, Kaguya, Yuzuru, and Miku had surrounded him while Kotori, Rinne, and Mikie were watching from afar. The moment he saw Miku standing before him in her limited Astral Dress, he figured out that this was a trap for him.
"I see. Very clever of you." Legion said before he turned to Beast. "You're quite motivated."
Beast then brings out his Saber.
"Of course, I am! Unless I defeat you, I'll never be able to face Shido again." Beast said before he charged at Legion and the others did the same.
"Be careful everyone." Kotori said.
(Back with Shido)
After meeting with the siblings Kento and Shiori, Shido and Kurumi sit with Kenta while Shiori blows out some bubbles with the others watching her.
"Shiori is sicker than she looks." Kenta told them.
"Eh?" Shido said in surprised to hear that.
"Really?" Kurumi asked.
"She's having surgery next week. Of course, she's afraid. I wanted to cheer her up." Kenta said.
"So that's the reason for the tricks?" Shido asked.
"Although mine were no good. To be honest, I was hoping to see you today. I thought you'd show us some more magic." Kenta said.
Kurumi smiles before she pets Kenta on the head.
"May, you certainly are a good little brother." Kurumi said.
Shido chuckles and smiles at Kenta.
"I'm sorry." Shido then turns to Shiori. "Losing my magic made me realize…that I can't do anything without it. Unless I use magic, I can't make a little girl happy."
But Kenta wasn't convinced by that.
"Are you sure?" He asked, gaining Shido's attention.
"Eh?" Shido said.
"I mean, the magic was awesome, but what really made me happy…was your desire to cheer up my sister." Kenta told him, and Shido was left speechless before he turned away from the boy. "Your heart is more important than your magic. I think Shiori understands. After all, she even laughed at my bad tricks."
After it was time for them to go home, Kenta and Shiori said their goodbyes with both Shido and Kurumi, with Kurumi waving at the siblings as they left and waving goodbye as well.
After they were now gone, Kurumi then lowered her hand and turned away from Shido.
"Well, I guess I should get going as well." Kurumi said, which made Shido turn to her.
"So, you're not even going to try to take my power?" Shido asked.
"Believe it or not, I see no point in even trying to accomplish that goal now." Kurumi said before she looked at Shido in disappointment. "Especially in the state of mind you're now in."
Shido lowered his head to hear that before he saw that Kurumi was now gone.
In his battle against Beast and the Spirits, Legion was holding Yuzuru by the neck.
"Hey! Get your hands off of my sister!" Kaguya shouted as she charged at Legion to attack him, but the Phantom threw Yuzuru to Kaguya as they crashed into each other, and Legion used that chance to fire energy shots at the twins.
But then a wall of ice appeared and protected the Yamai twins from Legion's attack, and Legion saw it was Yoshino riding on a Zadkiel.
"Annoying bug…" Legion said before he fired energy shots at Yoshino.
"Yoshino!" Tohka said as she moves in front of Legion's attacks and uses her sword to block the energy shots and protect Yoshino.
Legion growled in annoyance before he saw Mana attacking him with his sword, and Legion deflected most of her sword attacks with his voulge before he channels energy around one of the blades and attacks Mana with it, Mana blocks it in time but was sent skidding back.
[BUFFA, GO: BU-BU-BUBUBU BUFFA]
Legion soon saw Beast wearing his Buffa Mantle charging at him and rams his shoulder onto Legion's chest, but Legion was still standing but Beast refuses to give up as he begins pushing Legion back by continuing to run forward.
After having enough, Legion manages to stand his ground which forces Beast to stop and pushes him back, Legion then slashes on Beast's chest which sends him rolling on the ground.
Beast manages to stand up on his knee and foot.
"In that case…" Beast said as he brings out his Hyper Ring and inserts it into his Driver.
[HYPER! GO: HY-HY-HY-HYPER]
Beast changes into his Hyper form and is armed with his Mirage Magnum.
"Here I go!" Beast said before he charges at Legion while firing his Magnum at him.
Legion deflected Beast's energy shots, before Beast attacks Legion with his straps landing some hits and lands a shot with his Magnum attacks with his straps once again before Beast spun his Magnum and fired at Legion, sending the Phantom rolling on the ground.
Beast spun his Magnum around as Legion stood up on his knee and foot.
"I see. So it was that mage's heart that elevated you up from your crudeness?" Legion asked as he stood up and pointed his weapon at Beast.
"So what if it was?!" Beast asked.
"It's piquing my interest. Exciting!" Legion shouted before he used his weapon to create a portal towards Beast's Underworld.
Beast dodges the first attack but in Legion's second attack, the second portal manages to catch Beast's ankle.
(Meanwhile with Shido)
Shido had arrived in Omokagedo and entered the antique shop, that's what Wajima had seen him while he was in his workshop.
"Oh, Shido." Wajima said before he left his workshop to greet Shido. "I heard what happened. Are you okay?"
"I'm…getting there." Shido said before he notices something on the table and sees it was Koyomi's Please Ring.
"Huh?" Shido said before he picked up the Ring. "Oji-san. Where's Koyomi?"
"I haven't seen her for a while." Wajima said as he looked for her only to see she was missing.
Shido then showed the Please Ring that was now in his hand.
"Look." Shido said.
Wajima pointed at the Ring in realization.
"I see! Since you can't use magic, you can no longer give Koyomi mana! Why didn't I realize that?!" Wajima said in worry for Koyomi.
"She was thinking of me…so she made herself disappear…" Shido said.
"Let's find her!" Wajima said as he headed to the door to search for Koyomi, but stopped as Shido was standing still. "What's wrong?!"
"I can't use magic…So even if I find Koyomi…" Shido said as he looked at the Please Ring and tightly clenched his hand around it.
"What are you saying?!" Wajima asked, gaining Shido's attention. "Saving Koyomi means more than just saving her life."
Despite that, Shido wasn't sure on what to do before he remembered Kenta's words.
"It made me happy to see you cheer up my sister. Your heart is more important than your magic."
Shido then opens his eyes.
"The heart is more important than the magic." Shido said, even without magic Shido wasn't going to leave Koyomi in despair.
With his resolve restored, Shido leaves the antique shop to search for Koyomi.
"Eh? Can't move…" Beast said as he struggled to pull his leg free and saw Legion slowly approaching him.
"Nitou…" Tohka mutters as she helps Mana stand back up.
"You did well to dodge. However, you cannot move until that tear in the dimension fades." Legion told him.
"Nani?!" Beast said as he looked at his ankle that was caught in Legion's attacks.
Beast tries to stand up but ends up falling on his hand and knee.
Now that Beast is unable to fight, Legion took this moment to leave and search for his intended target Shido.
"Hey, stop!" Beast called out but was left ignored.
Koyomi is seen standing on the very beach where Shido made his promise to her. She was staring at the moving waves and that's when Shido had arrived as he approached Koyomi.
"I knew you'd be here." Shido said, and Koyomi turned to him. "I'm sorry. All I could think of was myself. I didn't think about you, Koyomi…"
"Do you remember what you told me when we were last here?" Koyomi asked as she turned around.
"No matter who we were…let's live in the now."
"Live in the now?"
"You were right, Shido. By properly living in the now…I was able to make friends and new memories." Koyomi said she was about to fall to the ground due to running low on mana.
"Koyomi!" Shido said as he caught her before she could fall and hugged her. "Right now, I have no magic. But…Despite that, I…I…"
"I feel warmth…thanks to you, Shido. I'm okay with just fading away. Your heart has saved everyone. Even without magic…you've become our hope. That's why…even without magic…even if I disappear…don't be sad." Koyomi told him.
"Koyomi…" Shido mutters.
"That's good. Very good." A familiar voice said, Shido's eyes widened in horror to hear that voice before he and Koyomi turned and saw Legion standing behind them. "Your heart truly is beautiful."
"A Phantom?!" Koyomi said in worry before Shido stood in front of him.
"Why are you here?!" Shido asked.
"I've come to destroy your heart." Legion answered before he changed to his Phantom form. "I've been searching for you."
Legion then heard a large energy shot at both Shido and Koyomi as it exploded in front of them, the explosion had sent both Shido and Koyomi flying away from each other while Koyomi fell on the sand, Shido ended up falling in the water.
"Now let me enjoy myself." Legion requested before he charges at Shido.
Shido grits his teeth as he stands up, he soon brings out Sandalphon and uses to parry two of Legion's attacks, Shido then kicks on Legion, but he easily pushes it aside and grabs Shido by the neck.
Legion then kicks Shido away as he falls into the water. As Shido stood back up, Legion then swung his weapon down at Shido and he blocked it with Sandalphon.
"I…can't die yet!" Shido said as he managed to push Legion's voulge.
Shido then slashes at Legion, but the Phantom blocks it and manages to push Sandalphon out of Shido's hand.
Shido refuses to give up as he kicks on Legion, but Legion pushes it back and slashes at Shido, he dodges it and grabs onto Legion. Legion manages to push Shido's arm off of his body and swings his weapon at him, Shido blocks it but falls on one knee.
Legion slashes at Shido, he dodges it before he stands up and catches Legion's voulge by holding it under his arm. Legion then spun Shido around which forced him to let go of his weapon and landed a hit on Shido which sent him into the water once again.
"You truly are good." Legion said before he charges at Shido.
Shido roared as he stood up and charged at Legion, landing a kick, just as Shido throws in another kick Legion dodges it and slams his weapon onto his back which makes him fall on his hands and knees.
Just as Shido turns to Legion, the Phantom lands a kick in front of his face which sends him falling on his rear.
Legion then grabs Shido on the neck to lift him up with Koyomi watching as she was powerless to do anything.
Legion then throws Shido to the sand before he stomps his foot on his chest to keep him on the ground which makes Shido groan.
Not wanting to watch this anymore, Koyomi slowly stood back up to try to help Shido as Legion slams his foot on his chest once again. Then when Koyomi stood on her feet she called out to Shido.
"Shido!"
Shido then turns to Koyomi as she slowly approaches him, but after using the last of her strength, Koyomi falls on the ground while at the same time, her flower vase falls and shatters on the ground.
Shido was left worried to see that as it meant that Koyomi's mana reserves are now extremely low, and she doesn't have much time left.
Legion lifts up his foot to slam it onto Shido's chest once again, Shido uses this chance to roll out of the way as Legion misses, Shido quickly stands up, but Legion uses this chance to land a slash on his chest which sends Shido to the ground once again.
As his Spirit powers were healing his wounds, Shido looked at the motionless Koyomi before he stood up.
"Koyomi!" Shido cries out but she wasn't able to hear his voice.
A now devastated Shido then falls on his hands and knees as he is now powerless to save Koyomi. In his grief, Shido's tears begin to fall from his eyes and onto his hand.
Legion stood in front of the despairing Shido, as he spun and pointed his voulge at him.
"It's over. Give up." Legion said as he readies his weapon to finish Shido for good.
Unknown to them is that Kurumi was watching in a distance as her eyes were mostly set in Shido.
Then the rest of Shido's friends had arrived with Mikie helping Nitou stand and walk as his arm was on her shoulders.
Despite that he was now powerless to do anything, Shido overcomes his despair as he looks at Koyomi with renewed determination to save her and digs his fingers into sand as he clenches his hands.
"I…I refuse to give up! As long as I'm alive…I won't give up on Koyomi's life!" Shido shouted.
Legion then raised his weapon and swung it down to finish Shido as time seemed to slow down around him.
"Shido!" Tohka shouted in worry as she and the others could only watch.
Then one of Shido's tears had changed into a new Ring, and with that a burst of bright magic power appeared around Shido which pushed Legion back while everyone was forced to cover those eyes from the brightness that was now around Shido.
Then when the burst of power had died down, Shido felt something within his hand, he brought his hand in front of him and opened it and saw a brand-new Ring within it.
The Ring was similar to his other Style Rings, except this Ring lacks the flipping mechanic. The Ring was colored silver with the gem being a bright diamond.
"A ring?" Shido said.
Shido then stands up and puts his newly acquired Ring on his left hand and scans his Driver On Ring on his belt.
[DRIVER ON, PLEASE]
The WizarDriver appeared on his waist, showing that Shido is able to use his magic once again. That's when Shido had found himself standing within his Underworld, and then appearing before Shido as it roars was a revived WizarDragon with a shining light around its body as it flies around Shido.
"But how?" Shido asked as he looked at Dragon.
"The strength of your heart has revived me!" Dragon told him before he roared once again.
"Dragon." Shido said before Dragon stopped in front of his host.
"You're an interesting fellow as always! Once again, I will be your hope!" Dragon declared as he went into Shido's body and with that Dragon flew into the real world in a crystal form as it flew into the sky while roaring.
Shido then flips the switches of his Driver.
[SHABADOOBI TOUCH HENSHIN]
Shido then showed his new Ring.
"Henshin!" Shido shouted and scanned the Ring in front of his Driver.
[INFINITY]
[INFINITY]
[INFINITY]
[INFINITY]
[INFINITY]
[INFINITY]
[INFINITY]
[INFINITY]
As his Driver was singing, Shido raised his head and arms as the crystal dragon flew down in front of him and then it flew around Shido as a silver and shining magic circle appeared beneath his feet.
[INFINITY, PLEASE: HI-SUI-FU-DO, BOU-ZABA-BYU-DOGON]
The magic circle then went through Shido's body which encased him in silver crystals before they shattered, showing pieces of his new form starting with the legs then around his arms, chest, and head.
The crystal dragon was now gone, and Wizard showed his new form to everyone in the area.
Wizard's new form consists of a silverish-gray bodysuit while everything else, his gauntlets, shin guards, and coat are now clear silver. Around his ankles and wrists are bands of diamonds and below his WizarDriver which has stayed the same are even more diamonds while diamond knee pads protect his knees. Over his shoulder is a diamond guard with a golden ornament of dragon's head at the center of the collar around Wizard's neck. Finally, his helmet had changed from being a silver helmet to a diamond helmet with silver lines all around and over where his eyes would be, making the helmet appear to have big eyes itself.
This is Wizard's strongest form, Infinity Style.
Wizard's friends and Kurumi could only look at his new form in shock.
"He transformed!" Nitou said.
"He's got his magic back! Shido-san's back! He's a mage again!" Mikie said in joy as he pushed Nitou's arm away which made him stumble a bit.
"He did it! He actually did it, Yuzuru!" Kaguya said as she and Yuzuru held hands.
"Joy! Indeed!" Yuzuru said.
"Yay! Just what I expect from my darling!" Miku said in joy.
Yoshino was shedding tears of joy that Shido is now able to use his magic once again.
Tohka and Rinne also smile at Wizard in joy.
"Shido…" Tohka and Rinne said.
"I am the final hope." Wizard declared as he showed his Infinity Ring and was ready to fight Legion.
Despite the fact that Wizard is now able to use his magic once again, Legion was overjoyed by this.
"Exciting!" Legion shouted as he pointed his weapon at Wizard. "I will cut up your heart once again!"
Legion then swung his voulge at Wizard creating a portal in front of him, but Wizard was still standing as the portal instantly closed.
Frustrated by this, Legion jumps high in the air to swing his voulge at Wizard using all of his power to create another portal, but the moment when Legion's voulge made contact with Wizard's helmet the blade broke in half.
Legion then looks at his broken blade in shock.
"This can't be!" Legion said in shock.
Wizard then counterattacks by kicking on Legion followed with a spin kick which sends Legion to the ground.
Watching from a distance was the White Wizard as he arrived just in time to see Wizard's new form, and even though Wizard had only gotten stronger, the White Wizard only said this.
"This has become a problem."
As she watches Wizard fight in his new form, Kurumi is still left stunned by this before she smiles and chuckles.
"Well…This is certainly a turn of events. You truly are full of surprises, Shido-san." Kurumi said.
"Come, Dragon!" Wizard calls out.
Then WizarDragon in crystal form appeared and flew around Wizard before it spun rapidly in front of Wizard and soon changed into a new weapon, and Wizard grabs onto and wields it in his hand.
The new weapon was a hybrid of a sword and an axe. The sword has a large pointed tip on the top with a red gem and a golden crest around it and another red gem and a golden crest was on the bottom of it. The axe blade was colored red and was shaped like a dragon's wing with a silver head of a dragon on top of it with a clear crystal part behind the axe's blade. The grip and guard were in a cross shape with a Hand Author on top of the grip.
This is the Sparkle Ax-Sword Axcalibur.
Legion then attacks Wizard using the other blade of his voulge, and Wizard blocks it using the axe blade of his Axcalibur, Wizard then pushes it back and slashes on Legion's chest three times which pushes the Phantom back.
Legion then slashes at Wizard once again, and he blocks it with his arm and grabs hold of the voulge and spun Legion around and attacks with the axe blade of his sword which forced Legion to stumble back.
Wizard then charges at Legion to attack, Legion throws in his own attack by slashing at Wizard but Wizard slashes on Legion first as he runs past him. They quickly turned back to each other, only for Wizard to deflect an incoming slash from Legion and slashes on his chest followed with a thrust that sends Legion rolling on the ground.
Legion quickly stood up on his knee and foot and fired a large energy shot at Wizard, and Wizard easily withstood Legion's attack as he used his armor to not only deflect the energy shot but shattered it into three pieces as two exploded behind Wizard and the third exploded in the front.
Legion was shocked by this as he stood up. Wizard then scans his Infinity Ring on his Driver.
[INFINITY, PLEASE]
(Cue: Missing Piece by Kamen Rider Girls)
Wizard assumes his stance with his sword and charges at Legion moving at the speed of light. Legion was shocked by this before Wizard moved past the Phantom while leaving a slash.
Wizard then slashes through Legion once again using his enhanced speed followed with another slash through the Phantom which sends Legion rolling on the ground while Wizard stops.
Wizard then turns back to Legion before he spins and throws his Axcalibur into his other hand to wield it as an axe which causes the crystal part behind the axe blade to light up in multiple colors.
[TURN ON]
Wizard then holds his axe with both hands before he charges at Legion and Legion does the same.
Using his axe, Wizard deflected an incoming slash from Legion's voulge and slashes on his chest followed with another slash. Wizard then lands an overhead slash on Legion and brings the axe on the Legion's abdomen and with a swing of his arm, Wizard sends Legion flying with his axe.
Wizard then held his axe with his right hand.
"The finale." Wizard said before he high fives the Axcalibur's Hand Author with his left hand to scan the Infinity Ring.
[HIGH TOUCH, SHINING STRIKE: KIRAKIRA KIRAKIRA, KIRAKIRA KIRAKIRA]
Wizard then spun his axe around as it gave off a light and rainbow sparkles around it as the axe grew larger and larger into the size of a giant.
Now armed with a massive axe, Wizard jumps high in the sky and wield the giant Axcalibur with both hands before a magic circle appeared behind him, Dragon then appears and went into the axe as Wizard roars and swung his axe down straight down in Legion's body which left a colorful cut.
"Exciting!" Legion shouted before he exploded, and Wizard turned around as the explosion appeared.
(End of song)
After defeating Legion, Koyomi was now resting on Tohka's lap while Wizard placed the Please Ring on her finger and scanned it on his Driver.
[PLEASE, PLEASE]
Wizard transfers his mana into Koyomi's body.
"Koyomi!" Wizard said as he and the others watched.
Now filled with mana once again, Koyomi opens her eyes and the first thing she sees was Wizard in his new Infinity Style before Tohka helps her sit up.
"Shido…" Koyomi said before Shido changed back into his civilian form.
"Koyomi, thanks to you. I didn't give up in the end. Thank you." Shido said with Koyomi smiling at him.
"Thank goodness! Shido-san!" Mikie said before she moves in and gives Shido a hug which causes him to cry out in pain as he was still sore from his battle with Legion. "Shido-san's got to be a mage!"
(Next day)
Shido and his friends were watching over Kenta and Shiori as they were on a playground as Kenta showed his sister some magic tricks that he was able to perfect.
Shido was looking at his newly acquired Infinity Ring.
"Shiori looks happy now." Yoshino said.
"Maybe it's because her surgery was a success." Rinne said.
Kenta then made colorful feathers appear from his hand which amazed his sister.
"No. That's not all." Shido said.
"Also, I just heard from Kizaki. All of the Legion case victims are starting to wake up from their comas." Kotori told them and Shido was both surprised and relieved to hear that.
"Really?" Shido asked, and Kotori nodded.
"Yeah, I was just as surprised as you are. Do you think Legion's defeat had something to do with it?" Kotori asked.
Shido thought about it before he remembered meeting Kurumi yesterday, Shido shrugged.
"Hard to say." Shido said before he threw the Ring up and caught it as he stood up.
Shido then moves to Kenta and Shiori.
"You've gotten better." Shido said getting the siblings' attention, and Kenta chuckles to hear that. "Then let me go too."
Shido then brings out a white ball between his fingers.
"Chichin Pui Pui!" Shido said before he made the ball levitate between his hands which amazed his friends and the siblings.
"Amazing!" Tohka said as she clapped her hands.
"Just what you'd expect from Onii-sama." Mana said.
"I wonder if I can make my mayonnaise float." Nitou said in wonder.
"Mr. Mage, is that a trick or is that magic?" Shiori asked.
Shido grabs onto the ball and smiles at Shiori.
"Who knows? What do you think?" Shido asked.
(Later at night)
It was late at night in Tengu City. Inside a hospital room, one of the comatose Legion victims who woke up was answering some questions from their doctor.
Watching them from another rooftop was Kurumi as she had a smile on her face. Then some of her clones appeared behind her and one of them spoke.
"That was unusually kind of you. Using Zafkiel's power to help all of those comatose victims."
Kurumi chuckles before she holds up her pistol.
"What can I say? I find it a pity for those people to sleep forever because of that Phantom's madness. And I figured this is a perfect chance to repay Shido-san for showing me something truly remarkable." Kurumi said.
"Really?" Her clone said in mild surprise.
"Yes, really." Kurumi said before she looked at the full moon.
She then remembers how Shido was able to restore his magic and use his newly acquired Infinity Style to fight and defeat Legion. She was deeply drawn to the fact that Shido was able to acquire that new form using nothing but the strength of his heart. No, it was more like Shido had defied even fate itself and brought forth a miracle.
'Perhaps I was right about him. Maybe he does have a power greater than anything I could imagine. It makes me wonder, will he be able to achieve the one thing that I was never able to do. Or will he take a path different from my own. Well…I suppose only time can tell.' Kurumi thought because either way, she was looking forward to seeing how much Shido will progress from here on.
After being called upon by her master, Medusa was standing in front of Wiseman's bed chambers where he spoke to her.
"Medusa. Starting today, you shall drive Gates to despair under his orders." Medusa was a bit surprised by this.
"Who's he?" Medusa asked.
That's when a familiar shadow appeared in front of Wiseman's curtains, and Medusa recognized that figure and to her shock, she saw it was Gremlin as he walked out of Wiseman's bed chambers.
"Hello~!" Gremlin greeted Medusa while waving.
"Gremlin?! Wiseman, what is this?" Medusa asked.
"I already told you. You are to follow Gremlin's orders from now on. I'm counting on you." Wiseman told her.
"Let's get along, Misa-chan." Gremlin told his now subordinate.
"It can't be…" Medusa mutters in shock and horror that she had followed Gremlin's orders.
Gremlin chuckles as he was looking forward to being Medusa's superior for a change.

(You need a time machine?) (As the songs start, Shido was seen riding on his Machine Winger on the road before he sped up.)

(Taai no nai jikan o wakeai! Ureshī yo toka sabishī yo toka…Nitamono dōshi dakara iwanai) (Then it changes to Shido and his friends going shopping together for food, stylish clothes, and looking at certain items in front of the store window.)

To be continued...The Dangerous Job
There you have it, hope you like it. Review to tell me what you think of the story.
Hell yes! My first time debuting a Main Rider's Final Form, and I'm really glad that it's Wizard. Especially since he's my favorite Rider of all the series.
