Hi there everyone! Ready for the introduction of a new charater?
My Big Sister?!
The sound of wood smashing against each other rang throughout Liberation as both Asta and Noelle trained together, being watched by Nero who had a bowl of seeds next to her.
"You seemed to be getting faster, Noelle." Asta commented as he blocked a vertical strike from Noelle.
"Thank you. but you're still using a wild form of swordplay." Noelle commented with a smirk on her face.
This cause a tick mark to appear on Asta forehead before blocking another attack from Noelle.
"I'm serious going to get you…." Asta said in a low tone of voice.
"I like to see you try." Noelle said as she blocked one of Asta's sword swings this time.
"Oh, you asked for it." Asta said before activating his magic, this time the two training partners agreeing to use magic in the spar, making his wooden sword get covered in flames.
Thankfully the training swords are "painted" in a type of magic that prevent the wood from getting damage by magical attacks.
"Here I come!" Asta shouted before lunging towards Noelle with his flame covered sword.
"Hmf! Such an easy attack to avoid." Noelle said before jumping to the side and covering her ow training sword with water.
The sliver hair girl then brought down her sword towards Asta.
However, the ash-white hair teen somehow managed to avoid getting hit by the jab by twisting his body which allows him to bring his sword in a wide arc.
A loud "smacking" sound is heard as Noelle brought her sword just in time to block the attack.
However, the force behind the attack cause the silver hair girl to stumble back slightly.
"Are you okay, Noelle?" Asta asked, becoming slightly worried that he may have put too much force behind the attack.
"I'm…..fine Asta. Jut a bit startled, that's all." Noelle replied, feeling her heart racing.
"Okay. If your-!" Asta began to say before raising his sword just in time to block an attack from Noelle who suddenly lunged towards the ash-white hair teen.
"That was unexpected!" Asta thought as he held his ground just as Noelle push against her sword.
"Heh. You shouldn't allow your guard to be drop, even for a single second." Noelle explained as she put more of her wight behind her sword.
"Heh. You certainly did make me surprised." Asta said with a smirk on his face before pushing back, causing the both to be stuck into a deadlock.
This went on for a few minutes before a cough is heard, making the both of them turn their heads, whilst still in a deadlock, to see Fiona.
"Er…..I'm sorry if I intrude upon a private moment, but I have good news….." Fiona said in an awkward tone of voice.
This cause both Asta and Noelle to become confuse before looking back at each other.
It took them a few seconds to realize how close their faces are.
For those who are standing some distance away, it looks like they are…."GAH!" Noelle exclaimed before suddenly kicking Asta, making the ash-white hair teen crash onto the ground.
"I-i-it not what it looks like! We were in a deadlock!" Noelle exclaimed, a blush on her cheeks along with Asta who has a blush on his own cheeks.
"With you swords or….." Fiona began to ask, starting to feel embarrassed.
"With. Our. Swords….." Noelle replied, gaining a dark expression on her face.
"R-right. I understand…." Fiona said, become scared.
"So, what is your news?" Asta asked whilst standing up, being joined by Nero who is perching in his hair.
"R-right! A member of the Sword Of Logos has returned from her mission." Fiona replied, causing both Asta and Noelle to perk up, Nero still has her mean-looking expression on her face, but she was becoming curious on the inside.
"She's speaking with Rintaro in the common area." Fiona explained as she three of them, including Nero, made their way towards the common area.
"I wonder what she's like?" Noelle thought in her head, becoming excited at the prospect of meeting another female member, since the silver hair girl felt a bit lonely as Fiona and Sophia were busy with their duties.
The group of four entered the common area and saw Rintaro speaking to a female with amber hair, which include gold streaks in it.
She has her back to them, so they couldn't see her eyes.
As they approach, Rintaro looked up.
"Asta. Noelle. I would like you to meet a fellow Magic Knight who has returned from a mission." Rintaro explained just as the female Magic Knight turned around.
Her amber eyes widened when they landed on Asta, making her gasp in shock.
"What wro/Asta!" The female Magic Knight exclaimed in a joyous tone of voice, cutting off Rintaro, before suddenly lunging towards the ash-white hair teen and hugging him tightly.
Nero quickly flew off Asta's head whilst Noelle, Fiona and Rintaro gained shock expressions on their faces.
"Eh?!" Asta exclaimed in his head as his face got pressed against the female Magic Knight's chest.
However, this didn't last long as the female Magic Knight broke the hug.
"Its been so long, Asta! You have grown!" The female Magic Knight said with a wide smile on her face.
However, Asta stared at her blankly, something that the female Magic Knight noticed.
"…..Is there something wrong, Asta?" The female Magic Knight asked, her smile dropping slightly.
"…" The ash-white hair teen became quiet, not sure what to say.
"W-what is going on here!? Asta, do you know this girl?!" Noelle demanded as she give the female Magic Knight a suspicious look.
"I…..don't know. I do have five years worth of memories wiped from my head after all." Asta replied, making the female Magic Knight widened her eyes slightly.
"…..How about you…..introduce yourself….." Rintaro suggested in a slow tone of voice.
"R-right." The female Magic Knight said as she took a few steps back from Asta, making Noelle relieve for some reason.
"My name is Donna Fukamiya, also known as the swords-woman of lighting, Kamen Rider Espada. I'm also your older sister, Asta." The now known Donna introduce herself.
"Your my older sister?!" Asta asked in a shock tone of voice.
Donna giggled at the ash-white hair teen's reaction, but she felt sad on the inside.
"We're not actually related, but you saw me as a older sister-like figure. We haven't seen each other in ten years…..ever since that attack….." Donna explained, gaining a sad expression on her face.
This cause Asta to gain guilty expression on his face.
"I'm sorry for upsetting you…..but like what I said earlier, I have no memories of the fist five years of my life." Asta explained, making Donna nod her head, being understanding.
".…Asta is currently the new swordsman of flames…" Fiona said, feeling awkward at what is happening.
This cause Donna's eyes to widened in shock.
"S-seriously?! Your the new Saber!?" Donna exclaimed, making everyone jump.
"Y-yeah. I became the new Saber recently. W-what's with the reaction?" Asta asked, feeling slightly freaked out by Donna's outburst.
"Er….well…" Donna tried to say something, but her voice died in her throat.
"…..And this is Noelle Silva. She hasn't chosen by a Holy Sword though." Rintaro said, introducing Donna to Noelle.
"Oh? A royal has decided to join us? Pity that you haven't been chosen by a Holy Sword. Nice to meet you, Noelle." Donna said with a smile on her face.
"Its a pleasure to meet you as well." Noelle said, nodding her head slightly whilst smiling.
It was then that Donna notice Nero on Noelle's shoulder.
"And whose the anti-magic bird?" Donna asked as she stared at Nero.
"That's Nero. She basically the Sword Of Logos's pet." Asta explained whilst Noelle gained a happy expression on her face at having Nero sitting on her shoulder.
".….Why does she have a mean-looking expression on her face?" Donna asked, tilting her head to the side.
"I don't know. Probably her default expression." Asta replied in a deadpan expression on his face.
Donna nodded her head slightly before walking up to Nero and started to rub a finger against the anti-bird's feathers.
This cause Nero to chirp slightly.
"What's all this noise?" A voice asked, causing the current group to turn their heads to see Sophia and Tetsuo approaching them.
"I'm back, Captain Sophia. And hello Mr Daishinji." Donna greeted as she stop stroking Nero.
"Oh. Welcome back, Donna. How was your mission?" Sophia asked with a small smile on her face.
"I managed to complete it. But it took sooooo long." Donna replied, saying the last part in a exasperating tone of voice.
"Well, the others haven't returned yet, so you can consider that as being in first place." Sophia said and Donna nodded her head slightly.
"At least I got to meet Asta again." Donna said with a smile on her face.
This cause Tetsuo to become confuse whilst Sophia widened her eyes in realization.
"You two…..know each other?" Tetsuo asked, glancing between Donna and Asta.
"Yes. We're childhood friends and Asta consider me as a older sister-like figure." Donna explained, Tetsuo blinked his eyes before focusing his attention to Asta.
"You didn't mention having Donna as a childhood friend. You only mentioned those at Hage village." Tetsuo said and Donna's eyes blinked slightly.
"I can't remember the first five years of my life! I think I mentioned that before!" Asta exclaimed in a angry tone of voice.
"Are your sure?" Tetsuo asked, making Asta growl slightly.
Everyone else laughed slightly, knowing that Tetsuo is only teasing the ash-white hair teen.
"Isn't Hage village is where that giant demon skull is?" Donna asked in a curious tone of voice.
"Yes. I've been living there for ten years ever since loosing my memories." Asta explained, making Donna nod her head before frowning.
"I never thought about looking there…" Donna muttered in a low tone of voice.
"It seems like the two of you need some catching up to do. There is a free day coming up soon." Sophia said, making Donna nod her head.
"Just give me a written report about your mission, Donna." Sophia added, making the female sword-wielder slump her head sadly.
"And I need to check Ikazuchi. I need to see if it isn't damaged in any way." Tetsuo said, making Donna sigh.
"I see that you haven't changed, Mr Daishinji." Donna said in a blank tone of voice.
"Welcome to Rakin, you three!" Donna announced as she, Asta, Noelle and Nero entered a large town.
Its now the free day that Sophia mentioned, which also counted as pay-day, and Donna decided to take Asta and Noelle, along with Nero, to visit a town in Wonder World.
"Huh. I never thought that there would be any large settlements within Wonder World." Asta commented whilst glancing around.
"Seriously? You haven't thought about that?" Noelle asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I thought there would be human settlements within Wonder World. I just never realize that can be this big!" Asta replied in a rushed tone of voice.
This cause Noelle to nod her head slightly.
"Is this the first time that you two visit Wonder World outside of missions?" Donna asked, glancing over her shoulder.
Asta and Noelle nod their heads.
"Well! You two are going to have a fun time!" Donna said with a wide smile of her face.
Both Asta and Noelle started to smile as well.
The first place that the four of them visited is the market place which is bustling with activity.
"Wow! This place is busy!" Asta exclaimed with stars in his eyes.
"Does Asta have to act like a kid everywhere we go?" Noelle thought but then realize that since Asta is from the Forsaken Realm, it would be quieter than the towns of the Common Realm and the Capital in the Nobel Realm.
"Hey, Noelle." Donna said, causing the silver hair girl to turn her head towards the sword-wielder of Ikazuchi.
"What is it, Donna?" Noelle asked, becoming curious.
"This is a good place for buying magic items." Donna replied, making Noelle confuse.
"Why would I need to buy a magic item?" Noelle asked just as Donna gained a nervous expression on her face.
"Sophia…..kind of mentioned how you have poor control over your magic. So she suggested that I bring you to a market place so you can possible buy a magic item to help stabilize your magic." Donna explained, making Noelle widened her eyes.
"R-really?!" Noelle asked in a shock tone of voice, making Donna nod her head.
"Yes. There's a variety of magic items you can buy here." Donna explained, making Noelle nod her head.
"What about you, Asta. Do you want to buy something here?" Donna asked, turning her attention towards the ash-white hair teen.
The question caused Asta to be brought out of his state of fascination.
"Er….well….I am planning on sending the money back to Hage village." Asta explained whilst scratching the back of his head.
This cause Donna to smile slightly.
"You can spend a few Yul for yourself you know. Come on! Time for some shopping!" Donna said before grabbing Asta by the shoulders and push him into the bustling market place.
Noelle stood where you is, gaining a frown on her face.
"I know that Donna treats Asta as a little brother. But why do I feel so…edgy?" Noelle questioned herself before shaking her head and follow where Donna and Asta went.
"Donna said that I should buy something for myself, but what?" Asta thought as he wondered though the stalls, looking at what's on display.
Both of the female Magic Knights are off somewhere, with Donna saying something about helping Noelle choosing something.
Nero has decided to joined Asta. As the ash-white hair teen walked, he gained the feeling that he's being watched.
Asta took a quick glance around, and notice that some of the town's citizens are looking at him before quickly looking away.
"What's up with them?" Asta wondered in a curious tone of voice.
"Its because you're a member of the Sword Of Logos." A voice suddenly spoke, making Asta jump in surprise before whirling around to see who has spoken. The person who spoken is a man with long green hair with a mostash and wearing glasses. He is mostly wearing pink clothes which include a pink top-hat.
"Er….." Asta said, slightly shock at the person's appearance.
"Ah! sorry, my name is Tassel, a book-store owner." The now known Tassel introduce himself.
"My name is Asta. A fairly new member of the Sword Of Logos, having the title of swordsman of flames." The ash-white hair teen introduce himself.
Tassel's eyes widened at the mention of the title before composing himself.
"Greetings, Asta. I take it that you're a Magic Knight born in the other world?" Tassel guessed, making Asta nod his head.
"Y-yes. I'm from the Clover Kingdom." Asta said, feeling slightly strange as to how Tassel said "other world".
It was at that moment that Nero started to peck Asta's head sharply.
"Owch! And this is Nero! The pet bird of the Sword Of Logos." Asta quickly introduce the anti-magic bird to Tassel.
"Oh? This is the first time that I know someone having a anti-magic bird as a pet." Tassel commented in a thoughtful tone of voice before speaking again.
"So what is a Magic Knight doing here? Having a day off from duties?" Tassel asked, making Asta nod his head.
"That's right. Its my day off and a fellow Sword Of Logos member suggested that me and a another member should visit Rakin. We went off in different directions in the market place." Asta explained, making Tassel nod his head slightly.
"I see. But you should be careful, there can be some shady people within Rakin. Even if you're a Magic Knight." Tassel pointed out…whilst gaining a creepy smile on his face.
"I think your one of them." Asta thought whilst sweat-dropping.
Meanwhile with Noelle and Donna, the two female Magic Knights are looking through a few stalls that specialized in selling magic items.
"So what sort of magic item do you prefer?" Donna asked as she glance at a few magic items.
"Well...a wand sounds like a good idea, but I already used my sword in a similar manner..." Noelle explained with a deep frown on her face.
"How about a bracket?" A voice suddenly suggested, making both Magic Knights to jump before whirling around, with the swords-woman of lighting taking out her Grimoire that has a yellow cover with lighting designs and a symbol of a slightly opened book.
The person who spoken is a small elderly women.
"Hehehe. Sorry if I made you jump." The elderly woman said in apologetic tone of voice.
The two female Magic Knights relaxed with Donna putting her Grimoire away.
"So what are two Magic Knights interested in buying magic items?" The elderly women asked, becoming curious.
This cause both Donna and Noelle to freeze slightly.
"My friend...doesn't have good control over her magic...so I suggested that we should look for a magic item to help her have a better control..." Donna explained in a nervous tone of voice.
"Oh? And yet you still managed to become a member of the Sword Of Logos? That's impressive indeed." The elderly women said as she gaze towards Noelle.
"T-thank you..." Noelle responded, her body still in a state of tenseness as she gained the feeling that the elderly woman is looking straight into her soul.
"Lets go and the bracelets, shall we Noelle." Donna said as she took Noelle by the shoulders and guided her towards the stall.
"Thanks for the suggestion!" Donna shouted over her shoulder.
"Your welcome!" The elderly woman said with a smile on her face before it turned into a smirk.
"Haaaah! We had a enjoyable time today!" Donna said with a smile on her face.
Currently, the four of them are sitting outside of a cafe, with the time being roughly early evening.
Nero is sitting next to Noelle, making the silver hair girl happy on the inside.
"I guess you can say that."Asta said as he stared at the necklace that he bought, which has a red book with a picture of a sword on the front attached to the chain.
"…..Why are we getting stares from people?" Noelle asked, noticing that there are a few people around giving them quick glances.
"Its because we're Magic Knights from the Sword Logos. You don't need to worry." Donna replied, causing Noelle to nod her head slightly.
"Is the Sword Of Logos popular in Wonder World?" Asta asked, becoming curious.
The question caused Donna to smirk slightly.
"The Sword Of Logos originated from Wonder World with multiple bases, due to the enormous landmass that makes up this world." Donna replied, causing Asta's eyes to widened.
"S-seriously?!" Asta exclaimed, making Donna nod her head.
"Yes. Our headquarters in the Clover Kingdom was created in order to stop any Wonder World threats targeting the Kingdom, along with the other three Kingdoms." Donna explained, making Asta nod his head.
"So, whereabouts in the Clover Kingdom were you born Donna?" Noelle asked, becoming curious.
"I wasn't born in the Clover Kingdom. I was born in Wonder World." Donna replied, causing Noelle to become surprise before realizing something.
"Wait. If you're born in Wonder World and you're Asta's childhood friend….." Noelle began to say in a slow tone of voice, glancing towards Asta slightly.
"That's right. Asta is a resident of Wonder World as well." Donna said, confirming Noelle's suspicion.
This cause both Asta and Noelle to become shock.
"I…..I'm not from the Clover Kingdom?" Asta asked in a shock tone of voice, making the swords-women of lightning to nod her head.
The ash-white hair teen began to frown.
"I guess that explains how I appeared in Hage village when I got knocked out during that battle ten years ago. I must have got transported there." Asta said in a thoughtful tone of voice.
The mention of the battle caused Donna to frown slightly.
However, the three Magic Knights haven't realized that they are being watched.
"So, all three of them are part of the current generations of Holy Sword bearers?" The same elderly woman that spoke to Noelle and Donna commented as she stood in a alley, spying on the three Sword Of Logo Magic Knights.
"Indeed, with the ash-white hair boy being the wielder of Rekka." Tassel said, making the elderly woman widened her eyes.
"So the lost sword of flames have reappeared with a new wielder." The elderly woman thought with a excited expression on her face.
"By the way, Wizard King. Shouldn't you head back to the Capital in the Clover Kingdom? Your assistant will likely be wondering where you are." Tassel wondered, making the elderly woman flinch slightly before starting to transform.
The elderly woman has now changed into a middle age man with short blond hair and purple eyes. He is wearing a long red robes that covers his entire body, which has white fur, along with a gold necklace that has a few ornaments attached to it. On his forehead is a star formed by six purple lines.
"Yes. I'm going to get an earful from Marxs." Julius Novachrono said whilst scratching the back of his head with a sheepish smile on his face.
Asta was nervous.
Now, the ash-white hair teen isn't a person who normally gets nervous.
But this time he is.
The reason is because its night time and Asta is currently in Donna's room.
"S-so. Why I'm I here?" Asta asked as he sat on the bed whilst Donna seemed to be searching for something.
"Hehehe. You sound like I might do something to you." Donna commented, glancing over her shoulder.
"Well…I have read books that describes this situation….." Asta replied, causing Donna to start smirking.
"Oh? And does the unlucky guy end up like this?" Donna said before suddenly launching herself at Asta.
"Gah! The ash-white hair teen exclaimed as Donna tackled him onto the bed and proceeded to "bite" him.
"Hahahahaha! You should see your expression!" Donna said whilst laughing as she sat up.
Asta sat up as well whilst placing a hand where Donna bit him and felt that there was no bite mark.
Asta then notice that Donna has a book in one of her hands.
"What's the book?" The ash-white hair teen ask, becoming curious.
"This….We use to read it together before you went missing." Donna replied as she show Asta the book.
"Wonder story…." Asta read the title in a low tone of voice as he felt a slight hum of magic radiating off the book.
Donna opened the book, causing some of the images on open page to spring up.
"A pop-up book?" Asta asked as he stared at the images, noting how they look like things he saw in Wonder World.
"Yes. We even created stories, inspired by this book." Donna explained just as Asta began to frown.
"All of this…does feel familiar." Asta said, causing a small smile to appear on Donna's face before biting her lips slightly.
"Asta…You mentioned about being knocked out before ending up in Hage village. What happened to you?" Donna asked, sounding slightly nervous.
"Well…I remember witnessing the battle ten years ago as some sort of dream." Asta explained, causing Donna's eyes to widened.
"R-really?!" Donna asked in a shock tone of voice.
"Yes. The previous Saber was protecting me from those Shimi monsters whilst this guy named Daichi fought Calibur. When Calibur finished his fight with Daichi, he turned his attention towards Saber and attempted to attack her. But she stab Rekka into the ground, causing a explosion to occur which lead to me blacking out…and possible loosing my memories in the process. When I woke up, I was found soaking wet in a river whilst gripping the "Brave Dragon" Wonder-Ride book in my hands. I've been living in the orphanage ever since." Asta explained, making Donna nod her head, yet having her hands clenched at the mention of Calibur.
"The previous Saber seemed to know my name. Do you know?" Asta asked, making Donna blinked her eyes.
"Well…" Donna began to say but stop and gained a difficult expression on her face whilst Asta remembered the Swords-woman's reaction when she found out that he became the new Saber.
The ash-white teen decided to move on.
"There's something else." Asta said, causing Donna to become curious.
"Before I was attacked by the Shimi. I…..I attempted to save this girl before she was swallowed by this holographic book." Asta explained, making Donna to frown slightly before speaking.
"Did this girl had short black hair?" Donna asked, causing Asta to nod his head.
This cause Donna's eyes widened in shock.
"Do you know the girl, Donna?" Asta asked, becoming concerned.
"That girl…..Her name is Luna, she's a childhood of ours…..before disappearing ten years ago during that battle." Donna explained, gaining a sad expression on her face.
Asta started to gain a guilty expression on his face.
The swords-women of lightning suddenly hug the ash-white hair teen.
"For the past ten years, I've been looking everywhere for you two, but all of my searches came up with no result. B-but…I'm so glad that I've managed to find you after all this time." Donna explained as tears of joy started to seep out of her eyes.
Asta became silent with a stunned expression on his face before wrapping his arms around Donna.
And there we have it, the appearance of the sword wielder of Ikazuchi and we learned that she have a shared history with Asta. I made Espada a female because to make things more gender equal within the Sword Of Logos. I hope you guys enjoyed the appearance of Tassel and him being friends with Julius. Last week on Kamen Rider Saber, Touma transformed into his super form, "Primitive dragon", which has a cool transformation. Just recently, we received some scans which involved Saber's new Wonder-Ride book, "Elemental Dragon". For those we have a keen eye, the book "Wonder Story" reacted to Touma's transformation. The book will likely transform into the "Elemental Dragon" Wonder-Ride book which will help Saber control his beserk super form since "Primitive Dragon" was originally a normal book before transforming into a Wonder-Ride book. The second piece of information is that a new Kamen Rider will appear, Kamen Rider Sabera, whose identity is Reika and has the title of swords-woman of the mist.
Next time on Kamen Rider Saber will include the reappearance of Kamen Rider Calibur, whose episode's title may be a clue to the identity of the new Calibur. Please review and until next time.
itspowertime:
1) I'm surprised that you asked if the new character is Espada.
2) I am heading in that general direction, but it will be different from the show.
3) The Magic Knights will likely be drawn into the conflict between the Sword Of Logos and the Megid/Calibur.
4) I have a super form in mind for Espada.
5) That fight may happen at some point.
6) Noelle's sword doesn't have standby sound since its a mass-produce version.
KnightSpark: Gauche will most like be buried up to his neck if that happens and let just be glad that those two are in different Magic Knight Squads.
howard576: I mentioned in chapter 3 that I have plans for Noelle, but I won't say what it is.
Phantom Thief Of Hearts:
1) Yep! Nero/Secre is officially part of the team...even though she's still in her bird form.
2) I'm not sure about that. Captain Yami is the most laid back captain after all, probably being on the same level as Jack The Ripper, so I doubt you gain a full picture just yet.
3) Would you be scared/nervous of a bird that has a mean-looking expression on her face 24-7?
4) Your welcome.
5) Well, your question is answered.
6) The answer would probably be no since this version of Asta has a different history.
7) Magna would probably gain the same number of stars.
8) Yeah...Yuri will likely hide until needed.
9) That's a pity, but I already have plans on Primitive Dragon's debut in this story.
10) Yes, Storius is practically the leader of the Megid and the most secretive.
11) Funny enough, I have the same idea about the Megid using the powers of Wonder-Ride books.
12) Yes, hopefully Falchion will be appear in the show and be the second Reiwa Rider to do this, since Eden made a brief appearance at the end of Kamen Rider Zero-One before the movie.
13) I completely forgot about that mission.
14) It will be likely that the Apostles of Sephirah will know the Holy Sword version of the Sephirot.
