Hi there everyone!

Battle in Sosshi village: Part 2

The four Magic Knights prepared themselves.

"It doesn't matter what you try to achieve. Every single one of you will die." Heath said before firing icicles towards the Magic Knights.

Saber and Blades dodged to the sides whilst Magna used his fire magic to melt any that came too close towards him.

The remaining icicles hit Noelle's water-made dome.

"Take some of this!" Saber shouted before firing seed-like bullets from his left gauntlet.

Heath, along with the three hooded mages managed to jump to the side to dodge the bullets.

"Did you honestly believe that firing plant seeds will do you any go-" Heath began to say but stop when he looked up and saw Blades lunging towards him.

"This is what you get for harming these people." Blades said before swinging Nagare, which is covered in both water and moonlight.

"Hmf. You fire swordsman friend say something similar." Heath commented before creating another Heavenly Ice Fang.

Daggers made from fire suddenly appeared around the swordsman of water.

"Fire Creation Magic: Flame Dragon's Fangs!/Fire Magic: Exploding Buckshot!" Saber and Magna shouted at the same time and the daggers launched themselves at the big block of ice, being joined by multiple balls of fire.

This cause the block of ice melt.

This allowed to Blades to continue with his attack, even if the melting block of ice did cause his speed to drop.

"I won't let anyone else get near Master Heath! Mist Magic: Illusion Vortex!" One of the hooded mages said whilst raising his hands towards Blades.

This cause a mist to form in front of Blades.

"Wha-!" Blades exclaimed before disappearing into the mist.

"No you don't!" Saber shouted before shooting the vine on his left gauntlet into the mist and manage to pull Blades out of the mist.

"T-thanks." The swordsman of water said as he landed next to the swordsman of flames.

"No problem, but how are we going to get close to that guy? Even if we do manage to get past his attacks, there are his henchmen to back him up." Saber pointed out, causing Blades to frown under his helmet.

"Yes. That is a problem…." Blades said in a low tone of voice.

"Saber! Catch!" A voice suddenly said, causing the swordsman of flames to turn his head just in time to see Noelle throwing something towards him through the water dome.

"Huh?" Saber said as he caught the object.

"This is…" Saber muttered as he has a properly look at the object and saw that it's the "Houshin Kamen Engi" Wonder-Ride book.

"Consider this a gift from royalty. Don't waist it." Noelle explained in a slight haughty manner.

"I won't." Saber said before opening the Wonder-Ride book, revealing two wheels that have a flame-like design and three wavy-like pieces.

"In a certain world, there was a strange battle woven by the Shinra Bansho…."

The Wonder-Ride book announced before Saber sheathed Rekka, being followed by closing the cover and then close the two Wonder-Ride Books already in the Seiken Sword-driver.

Saber then removed the "Jackun-to-Domamenoki" Wonder-Ride book before replacing it with "Houshin Kamen Engi", causing the standby sound to play.

"Another one?" Heath thought just as two giant Wonder-Ride books appeared behind Saber before he removed Rekka.

The two sets of Wonder-Ride books opened with the "Houshin Kamen Engi" showing a arm with a slightly baggy red sleeve that has two flaming rings near the top and white wavy-like pieces on the shoulder.

Unsheathe the Flames!

When two books synthesize, the sacred blade is infused with power! Wonder Rider!

The driver began to announce and two flaming wheels came bursting out of the "Houshin Kamen Engi" Wonder-Ride book and circled around Saber before merging with his left side, now giving the swordsman of flames a red baggy sleeve, along a small trench coat-like piece which all the way down to his knee. There is also gold trimmings near the edge of the sleeve and gold lining running along the replaced red on Saber's body.

Dragon! Toaru Monogatari!

The Blade equipped with two attributes will be honed!

The driver finished the announcement and the villagers stare at Saber in awe.

"You guys must have hundreds of those "books" at your disposal, right?" Magna asked Noelle, causing the silver hair girl nod her head.

"I don't see how changing your armor will help." Heath commented before sending a wave of ice towards Saber.

Luckily, the swordsman of flames jumped back, avoiding the attack before swinging a flame covered Rekka.

As the wave of fire left the sword, the flames changed into two wheels which then sped towards Heath and his subordinates.

"Nothing you do will help you. What a bunch of time wasters…" Heath commented before sighing as he constructed a huge shard of ice to block the flaming wheels.

However, the wheels suddenly changed directions, making Heath's eyes widened in shock.

"Master Heath! Let me handle-!" A hooded mage began to say but was cut off as he was hit a by a wave of moonlight.

"Don't forget about us!" Blades said as he held Nagare aloft.

Heath and the hooded mages moved out of the way to avoid getting hit by the flaming wheels.

"Tch. I should have put more mana behind that attack." Saber thought in annoyance.

"Here! Let me help you. Fire Magic: Prison Kill Buckshot!" Magna, him possibly feeling Saber's frustration, announced before creating and throwing multiple fireballs.

"Ice Magic: Crystal Ice Shield." Heath said, creating barriers in the form of snowflakes.

Surprisingly, the barriers withstood the fireballs that impacted against them.

Fortunately for the Magic Knights, four of the fireballs slipped past.

When the fireballs made contact with heath and the three hooded mages, explosions occurred.

When the dust settled, Heath and the hooded mages are somehow still standing, yet damaged.

"The flames aren't going out?!" Heath exclaimed in his head, seeing how the flames aren't disappearing even when he and the hooded mages attempted to pat the flames out.

"What did you do, Black Bull!?" Heath demanded before creating multiple icicles that went flying straight towards Magna.

"This is going to hurt!" Magna exclaimed in his head whilst covering his face to protect himself.

However, the attack didn't reach him, causing Magna to become opening his eyes to see that a small version of Noelle's spell is surrounding him.

Magna turn around to see Noelle staring down at him.

"You better thank me later, delinquent." Noelle said whilst inwardly feeling happy that she managed to control her new spell.

"I think its time to wrap this up." Saber commented before placing Rekka back into the Seiken Sword-driver and pressing the trigger twice.

Final Page!

Dragon! Toaru Monogatari! Volume 2 strike! F-F-Fire!

The Driver announced and the red mechanical dragon appeared along with two flaming wheels.

"Crushing Dragon wheels!" Saber said just as the two wheels enlarged themselves before surrounding Heath and the hooded mages who are becoming tense at what is happening.

The mechanical dragon then started to circle outside the wheels, causing them to start spinning before picking up speed.

This went on for a few seconds before the wheels suddenly enclosed onto Heath and the hooded mages, knocking them out as flames erupted into the air.

"And that's how its done!" Saber exclaimed just as the red mechanical dragon roared in victory.

All the villagers stared at Saber as relief started to take hold of them.

"Hehehe. You show those guys not to mess with the Magic Knights." Magna said with a grin on his face before standing up and approach the knocked out mages, along with getting slightly drenched by the water.

"What started as Fire Magic: Prison Kill Buckshot, will now changed into Fire Restraining Magic: Flame Rope Solid Binding Formation!" Magna explained, making the flames, that are somehow still burning, turn into ropes.

"Impressive. Changing one spell into another." Blades commented in a impressive tone of voice.

"Yep. You can be surprise with what the members of the Black Bull can do." Magna explained before feeling something is wrong.

He and the other three Magic Knights turned their heads just in time to see one of the hooded mages using water to put the flaming rope out whilst his Grimoire started to float in front of him.

"Water Magic: Current Of The Fortune River!" The hooded mage said, making a stream of water appear which carried him away towards the nearby buildings.

"One of them got away!" Blades said just as Magna growled in frustration.

"What are you doing, delinquent?! how could you become so careless?!" Noelle exclaimed…..which led to the silver hair girl loosing her concentration, causing her Sea Dragon's Nest to collapse, causing all the villagers to get soak.

"Hahaha! It looks like that I'm not the only one careless." Magna said whilst laughing.

"Why you….." Noelle muttered, blushing with embarrassment.

"It looks like the two of them are getting along…kind of though." Blades said, saying the last part in a unsure tone of voice just the villagers started to clap for the Magic Knights.


In a unknown location, the hooded mage that has escaped is now kneeling in front another cloaked figure whose face is covered.

"So all four of you have failed in retrieving the stone…." The cloaked figure said in a male voice.

"But is it still in Sosshi village or have the Magic Knights have taken it? The Magic Knights from the Sword Of Logos were there to take care of that Booted Cat themed monster, but that Black Bull Magic Knight…" The cloaked figure thought as he turned his attention towards a stone tablet that has ten circles with eight of them having stones embedded in them.

It was then that footsteps can be heard, causing the cloaked figure to turn his head slightly to see a humanoid monster with red, green and black armour-like skin along with a trench-coat. His mask-like face is white and he has two long brown horn, that has a tint of green on them, on the sides of his head.

"So. What do you think of the current generation of sword-bearers?" The monster form of Storious asked, causing the cloaked figure tilt his head to the side slightly.

"Its too soon to give a full opinion. But from the report, they seemed to be strong." The cloaked figure replied before turning his attention back to the stone tablet.

"The lord's revival…..is on the horizon." The cloaked figure said, smiling under his hood.

Even though you can't see the Megid general's expression due to his mask-like face, Storious is chuckling darkly.


Sometime later, two children are in the Sosshi village's graveyard, standing in front of a grave.

"Grandpa….." The boy said in a sad tone of voice.

"Nick, lets go home." The girl said, tugging on the shirt's sleeve of the now known Nick.

The two children heard footsteps approaching them, causing them to turn their heads to see the four Magic Knights walking towards them.

"We heard from the other villagers how the old man was the only one who stood up to those guys. Heh! Glad to see that he went down fighting." Magna said with a small smile on his face.

"…A few days ago, he came back grinning ear to ear, telling me how he won a bet over someone from the Magic Knights. He never took the test, but he really looked up to them." Nick back to explain, making the present Magic Knights to become curious.

"And it was also his greatest regret, saying he should have tried harder when he was younger. Do you think…that someone from the slums like me can become a Magic Knight?!" Nick asked, wiping the tears out of his eyes. The question cause the Magic Knights to become surprise.

"If you trained hard enough then I'm sure you can become a Magic Knight. I'm from Hage village and yet I was able to join the Magic Knights." Asta explained, causing both Magna and the two children to widen their eyes.

"Hage village?! That's in the Forsaken Realm! You joking right?!" Magna exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.

Asta just grinned in response.

"Uhm…..I hate to break up this chat, but the three of us still have a mission to do." Noelle pointed out, causing Asta to froze.

"….I completely forgot about the mission!" The ash-white air teen said in a shock tone of voice.

"That isn't surprising with what just happened earlier." Noelle commented in a calm manner.

"So are we going to contact Captain Sophia and tell her that there is a delay?" Asta asked, looking at Noelle and Rintaro, feeling slightly panic.

"There's no need to worry. I've already found the what's making the unknown magic signal." Rintaro explained before holding up a small, hexagon shaped stone done in pink.

"….A stone?" Noelle asked in a blank tone of voice as she and Asta stared at the stone.

"It seems like it. The Megid was carrying it before I destroyed him." Rintaro explained, causing both Asta and Noelle to glance at each other.

"That's Grandpa's lucky charm!" Nick said in a surprise tone of voice.

This cause the three Sword Of Logos to gain awkward expressions on their faces.

"….Would you mind if-!" Rintaro began to ask but stop when something came flying out of no where and took the stone out the wielder of Nagare's hand.

"Huh?! Where did the stone go!?" Magna asked in alarm as he and the others glance around to see who took the stone.

Asta heard the sound of flapping of flapping, causing ash-white hair teen and the others to turn their heads in the direction of the noise to see a small bird with black fur, a white underbelly, a red face, two small horns protruding from both side of it's head, black eyes and a small beak hovering in front of him.

In it's mouth is the stone.

"…" Everyone became quiet as they stared at the bird whilst the bird stared back with a mean-looking expression in it's eyes.

"Er…can we have the stone back? We kind of need it." Asta asked before attempting to take the pink stone of the bird's beak.

However, the bird kept a good grip on the stone.

"Erh! What are we going to do?" Asta asked, stopping his fruitless attempt of getting the stone back and turn his attention towards Rintaro.

"Well….we could-" Rintaro began to say but stop when a beeping is heard.

This cause everyone to become confuse as the wielder of Nagare took out the radar-like device and looked at the screen.

"What's up with that device of yours?" Magna asked just before Rintaro's eyes widened slightly.

"According to this. That bird is radiating the same magic signal as the stone." Rintaro explained, causing the Magic Knights to become surprise.

"So what now? We're not going to kidnap the bird, are we?" Asta asked in a exasperating tone of voice.

"Yes please!" Noelle suddenly exclaimed, causing everyone to stare at her.

The silver hair girl blinked her eyes for a few seconds before realizing what she said and started to blush.

"I-I mean we have to take it back with us since its sharing the same magic signal." Noelle said quickly whilst turning her head to the side, avoiding eye contact.

"Why did I shouted that out loud?! But I can't help it, those mean-looking eyes made the bird cute!" Noelle said in her head.

It was then that the bird flew above Asta before landing on his head.

"I think the bird is willing to cooperate about us taking it back to base." Rintaro commented as he place the radar-like device back away.

"But what about the stone? We can't just simply take it." Asta pointed out, causing a frown to appear on Rintaro's face.

"You can take the stone. I think Grandpa would say the same for saving the village." Nick explained, causing Asta to become surprise.

"Oh. Thank y-Owowowo!" Asta began to say but was stop as the bird started to peck the ash-white hair teen's forehead with the stone still in it's beak.

"I think it's probably saying that you should hurry up." Magna guessed as he and the others watch the bird continue to peck Asta's forehead.

"Wow. The great swordsman of flames is getting beating by a small bird." Noelle commented with a smirk on her face.

"What did you say?!" Asta exclaimed angrily as he glared at Noelle.

The silver hair girl glared back before realizing that the two of them are standing very close to the point that their noses are almost touching.

"Are those two….." Magna began to ask in a questioningly manner as he and Rintaro watched a blushing Noelle quickly turning her head to the side.

"I don't know. Not that I'm aware of that is." Rintaro replied, knowing what the Black Bull Magic Knight is asking.

It was then that footsteps are heard, causing everyone in the graveyard to turn their heads to see a man running towards them before towards.

"One of….. the mages…are awake…." The man said through deep breathes.

"Good. I was wondering when they would wake." Magna said with a grin on his face.


Magna and the three other Magic Knights are now standing in front of the three still restrained mages who are leaning against a wall.

Only Heath is awake.

"Now then. We will be taking all of you back with us for questioning, like who you are and what your after." Magna explained to Heath.

However, the pale skin man was only half paying attention.

"He sealed my magic…." Heath thought as he looked down at the flaming rope.

"Are you even listening?!" Magna asked, becoming angry.

"The end is upon us." Heath said before a bright glow appeared in his gut along with the other two, causing all four Magic Knights to become shock.

"He has a magic item implanted with in him?!" Rintaro thought, his eyes widened.

"Ice Magic: Ice Funeral!" Heath said before all three mages got in cased in ice which then shattered.

"H-he…..committed suicide!" Magna said in a shock tone of voice whilst Noelle covered her mouth in horror.

"Seriously. Does he think life is something to throw away so easily?" Asta said, becoming angry.

"He must be very determined to keep his work a secret. But the question remains if he or some larger group are working with the Megid." Rintaro thought, gaining a frown on his face.


And there we have, the conclusion of the battle between the Magic Knights and Heath. So this chapter introduces Nero and reveals that the Megid and the Eyes Of The Midnight Sun are working together...although I'm not entirely sure if I did a good job keeping that a mystery or not. I hope you guys enjoyed seeing Saber using the "Houshin Kamen Engi" Wonder-Ride book. Please review and until next time.
