Hi All!
Mission's conclusion
Silence descended around the room.
"That Silva girl can transform?! Why did she transform just now rather than earlier?" Klaus thought as he glance towards Donna.
"What…..the…?" Donna muttered in confusion, never hearing the name "Joyeuse" before.
"So cool!" Saber exclaimed with stars in his eyes.
The newly born swords-woman of steel stood still, acting all intimidating.
"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I transformed into a Kamen Rider!" Joyeuse exclaimed in her head whilst a mini version of herself jumped in joy.
The Diamond Kingdom Mage shook himself out of his state of shock.
"I don't know what sort of miracle you just performed, but I will crush it." The Diamond Kingdom Mage said before firing harpy-blades towards Joyeuse.
The blade of Argent-Couronne became cloaked in water as the swords-woman of steel raised her sword into the air before striking the harpy-blades out of the air, even making cracks appear in a few off them.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Spikes" Joyeuse announced as she raised her free hand into the air along with causing water-made spikes to appear around the Diamond Kingdom Mage, floating in the air.
"She learned a new spell as well?!" Saber and Donna exclaimed in their heads at the same time.
"Take this!" Joyeuse shouted before clenching her hand, causing the water spikes to rain down on the Diamond Kingdom Mage.
Everyone's eyes widened as they saw that the water spikes are piercing through the crystal armour.
"I don't want to be on the receiving end even if I'm wearing armor." Saber thought, wincing slightly at the thought before gaining a warm feeling.
This cause the swordsman of flames to become confuse before glancing over his shoulder to see that Mimosa is using her healing spell on him.
"Thanks!" Saber said with a smile under his helmet.
"Don't mention it." Mimosa responded as she gained a determined expression on her face as she continue to heal Saber.
Gritting his teeth slightly, the Diamond Kingdom Mage opened his Grimoire.
"Crystal Creation Magic: Talos Cluster Puppets." The Diamond Kingdom Mage said, making numerous crystal puppets like earlier.
"Hmph! I'm looking forward in giving this new sword a swing." Joyeuse commented before charging towards the small army of crystal puppets, Argent-Couronne at the ready.
Everyone watched as Joyeuse gracefully fought against the crystal puppets.
"Hey, Asta." Mimosa said, causing the swordsman of flames to glance over his shoulder.
"Has Noelle being training hard whilst being a part of the Sword of Logos?" Mimosa asked, not breaking her gaze from the swords-woman of steel.
"Yes…..why?" Saber asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
"It just that….Noelle has been training her entire life to gain mastery over her magic. It looks like all those years of training is final paying off." Mimosa explained with a small smile on her face.
Saber blinked his eyes slightly before turning his attention back onto Joyeuse.
"Let's try my other new spell. Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Vortex!" Joyeuse announced before stabbing the ground with Argent-Couronne.
A circle of water appeared around the swords-woman of steel before raising violently and starting to spin, capturing all of the crystals puppets surrounding her.
The Diamond Kingdom Mage gritted his teeth as he watch his puppets becoming unable to move properly before the pages of his Grimoire started to turn.
"Crystal Creation Magic: Laevateinn!" The Diamond Kingdom Mage announced, creating the giant crystal sword.
"Okay….How I'm suppose to deal with this thing?" Joyeuse thought, feeling slightly nervous.
Joyeuse's eyes fell on her open "Swift Dolphin" Wonder-Ride book.
"I guess that I can summon some help." Joyeuse thought before pressing down the open "page".
Swift Dolphin!
The Wonder-Ride book announced and the same mechanical dolphin that joined the swords-woman of steel's transformation appeared next to her, but larger.
"Please help." Joyeuse said, making the silver mechanical dolphin nod it's head.
It was at that moment that the Diamond Kingdom Mage swing Laevateinn downwards.
Joyeuse dived to the side whilst the silver mechanical dolphin "swim" the other way before making it's way towards the Diamond Kingdom Mage and starting to attack the crystal armor.
"Get off me you wretched thing!" The Diamond Kingdom Mage shouted as he attempted to swipe the silver mechanical dolphin out of the air with the crystal sword, whilst being careful not to hit himself in the process.
"Don't you dare call my companion "wretched"!" Joyeuse shouted in anger before firing some water spheres directly at the Diamond Kingdom Mage.
The crystal mage gritted his teeth in pain as the water sphere's hit him as well as putting out the flames that were healing him.
"Yes! Now he can't heal himself any more." Joyeuse thought before opening her Grimoire.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Spikes!" Joyeuse shouted as she use one of her new spells again, this time aiming mainly at the crystal armor's legs.
The Diamond Kingdom Mage's eyes widened when Joyeuse's spell successfully pierce through the legs, making them on the verge of breaking apart.
"I think it's time for your story to end." Joyeuse said before pressing the button at the bottom of the hilt.
Final page!
Argent-Couronne announced which cause the same violin-like melody to start playing, yet at a faster tempo.
Blue energy started to swirl around the blade of Argent-Couronne just as Joyeuse jumped into the air backwards.
The silver mechanical dolphin appeared behind her and the swords-woman of steel landed on it's head.
"Here goes nothing." Joyeuse thought before pressing the trigger on the hilt.
Noble scriptures!
Final reading: Dolphin!
Argent-Couronne announced and the silver mechanical launched Joyeuse straight towards the Diamond Kingdom Mage who attempted to block the swords-woman of steel with Laevateinn.
Unfortunately for him, Joyeuse was faster, striking the crystal armour in the chest area and broke through easily.
The Diamond Kingdom Mage was sent crashing onto the floor.
"All Right! She did it!" Saber exclaimed in joy before wincing in pain.
"Don't overdo yourself when I'm still healing you, Asta." Mimosa said with a kind smile on her face, yet feeling happy as well.
The crystal prisons that were keeping Donna, Yuno and Klaus stuck disappeared, making them relieved.
"Thank you, Swift Dolphin." Joyeuse said to the silver mechanical dolphin in a relived tone of voice.
This cause Swift Dolphin to make some clicking sounds.
This cause Joyeuse to smile slightly before closing the "Swift Dolphin" Wonder-Ride book and taking it out of Argent-Couronne, making both the silver mechanical dolphin and the armor to disappear.
However, before Noelle could have a chance to relax, she was immediately tackled into a hug by Donna.
"Well done, Noelle! You managed to defeat that mage all by yourself!" Donna exclaimed in joy before releasing the silver hair girl.
"Hmph. What do expect? I am royalty after all." Noelle said but with a wide smile on her face.
However, a small frown appeared on her face as she glance down at Argent-Couronne.
"But…what about this sword?" Noelle asked as she held up Argent-Couronne.
"To be honest, I don't know. I didn't know that this Holy Sword existed until just now…or the title of swords-bearer of steel….." Donna explained, making Noelle blink her eyes in confusion.
"Captain Sophia or Mr Daishinji may know something. But how did it end up in your Grimoire in the first place…" Donna said, her frown deepening.
This cause a slight worrying expression to appear on Noelle's face.
"Asta!" Yuno exclaimed as he rushed to Asta's side.
"I'm fine, Yuno. Mimosa did a good job." Asta, who has removed his armor, explained with a grin on his face.
This cause Yuno to sigh in relief just as a small smile appear on his face.
"Even without Mimosa's healing magic, you survive….mainly you're too stupid to kick the bucket." Yuno said, causing a tick mark to appear on Asta's forehead.
"What did you say?!" Asta exclaimed in a angry tone of voice.
"Now, now. Let all get along." Mimosa said with a sheepish smile on her face.
With Klaus, the senior Golden Dawn member is examining the knocked-out Diamond Kingdom Mage.
"Apart from a few scratches, possibly from broken off fragments of crystals, he looks completely fine." Klaus thought with a frown on his face.
"Is it possible that the Silva girl didn't deal a fatal wound on the Diamond Mage because our mission is to secure the treasure room rather than fighting the enemy?" Klause thought as he glance towards Noelle.
Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound is felt.
"W-what's going on?!" Mimosa asked, gaining a worrying expression on her face.
"It looks like that the Dungeon has one final trap to offer." Donna responded, becoming tense.
"Everyone! We need to move immediately!" Klaus shouted in a urgent tone of voice.
"Here. Let me help you up." Mimosa said as she took a hold of one of Asta's arms and draped it over her shoulder.
It was just then that the section of the ceiling that Asta, Yuno and Mimosa are standing under collapsed, causing the stone-works to fall on top of them.
"Asta!/Mimosa!/Yuno!" Donna, Noelle and Klaus exclaimed at the same time whilst gaining shock expressions on their faces.
"I blow all that away!" Yuno said as he opened his Grimoire.
However, before the wind mage could flip throw the pages to his desired spell, his four-leaf clover Grimoire glowed and suddenly time seem to froze apart from him.
"…What?" Yuno said as he looked about whilst gaining a confused expression on her face.
A yawn is heard, causing the wind mage to turn his head and saw a tiny fairy with short blond hair and wearing a green dress.
"Did she came out of my Grimoire…?" Yuno thought with a frown on his face just before his eyes widened slightly.
"Is she related to that scroll with the unknown writing?" Yuno thought as he watch the fairy rubbing her eye before opening them, revealing them to be a green colour.
The fairy looked at her surroundings before releasing a gentle breath of air.
This cause Yuno to become confuse just before the fairy disappeared and time unfrozen.
The fairy's gentle breath seem to have transformed into a violent burst of wind that scattered the falling debri.
"W-what just happened?!" Mimosa said with a shock expression on her face.
"Yuno! Was that your doing?!" Asta asked, seeing how his brother has his Grimoire out.
"I…..don't know." Yuno replied, unsure how to respond.
"Come on! We don't have a lot of time!" Klaus ordered, making Yuno nod his head before flipping through the pages of his Grimoire.
"Wind Creation Magic: Heavenly Wind Arc/Brave Dragon." Yuno announced just as Asta summoned his red mechanical dragon partner.
Donna, Noelle and Klaus climbed aboard Yuno's wind-made vessel whilst Asta and Mimosa climbed aboard Brave Dragon.
"Right! Lets move before the entire Dungeon collapses on top of us." Klaus said just before Yuno made the wind-created vessel move, being followed by Brave Dragon.
"Lightning Creation Magic: Lightning Genie's Treasure seeker." Donna said, making the golden compass appear in front of her.
"Okay! Head into the corridor on your left." Donna said as she stare down at the compass.
This cause Yuno to nod his head before stirring to the left.
As the group of Magic Knights, plus Nero and Brave Dragon, made their through the corridor, the falling debris became worse.
"Steel Creation Magic: Violent Rotating Lance!" Klaus exclaimed, creating lances to destroy the falling debris, joined by Brave Dragon who shot fireballs from it's mouth.
After what seem like a eternity of travelling through the collapsing Dungeon, the group managed to burst out into open air.
"Yes! We're in the clear!" Noelle exclaimed with a look of relief on her face.
The group of Magic knights landed at the same place that they met earlier and climbed off either the wind-made vessel or Brave Dragon.
"So…..what's going to happen now?" Yuno asked as he looked at the pretty much destroyed Dungeon.
"I'm sure that a group of Mages will be able to salvage the magic items…Hopefully they aren't all destroyed." Klaus explained, saying the last part in a unsure tone of voice
"Wow! Those "books" of yours are amazing. Being able to use them to don armor or summon creatures from them." Mimosa said in a amazed tone of voice as she rub Brave Dragon's head.
This cause the red mechanical dragon to growl softly.
"Speaking about Wonder-Ride books…where did you got "Swift Dolphin", Noelle? That wasn't in our possession the last time I check." Donna asked with a small frown on her face.
"…..I found it inside the treasure room along with a few other Wonder-Ride books." Noelle replied, making both Asta and Donna shock.
"S-seriously?!" Asta exclaimed, making Noelle nod her head.
"You took them from the treasure room…..?" Klaus asked, gaining a small glare on his face.
"Yes. That's correct." Noelle replied, not effected by the glare in anyway.
"I think I told everyone not to take anything from the treasure room. I wouldn't be surprised if you taking them was the cause of the collapse of the Dungeon." Klaus explained in a strict tone of voice.
However, his entire demeanor changed when Noelle glare at him.
"Are you saying that me, a royal, was responsible for the destruction of the Dungeon?" Noelle asked, her glare intensifying.
"Well. I was just pointing out the likely possibility." Klaus explained, becoming slightly scared under the silver hair girl's glare.
From the side-lines, Yuno attempted to avoid eye-contact from anyone.
"Anyway. Its the mission of the Sword Of Logos to retrieve the Wonder-Ride books, I was merely following that." Noelle explained before turning away from Klaus, making the senior Golden Dawn Mage to feel relieved.
"Oh? What make these Wonder-Ride books important?" Mimosa asked as she stop stroking Brave Dragon.
"The Wonder-Ride books…..are fragments of a once great power." Donna replied, making all three Golden Dawn Magic Knights to become curious.
"And what sort of power is this?" Klaus asked, pushing up his glasses.
"Its a secret." Donna replied, causing Klaus to sweat drop.
This cause both Asta and Noelle and chuckle slightly whilst Mimosa smiled, yet feeling disappointed.
Yuno frowned slightly as he think back to Asta's dream/vision.
"Yuno. Asta. I have something to say to the both of you." Klaus suddenly said, making the two named to become perk up.
"Yes, Sir?" Yuno asked, becoming confuse and curious along with Asta.
The steel magic user walked up to the two and suddenly hugged them.
"I'm sorry! I thought that you two wouldn't be great Magic Knights. But you prove me wrong." Klaus explained, making everyone surprise.
"Hehe…..thank you, Sir." Asta said, not wanting to ruin the moment because how Klaus is hugging him too tightly.
"Eeeek!" Mimosa suddenly exclaimed, causing everyone else to become startled before looking towards the vermilion hair girl…only to see that Brave Dragon is rubbing it's snout against Mimosa's body queit enthusiastically.
"I think your pet has a liking towards me, Asta!" Mimosa said, feeling surprised at the red mechanical dragon's sudden action.
"Stop that, Brave Dragon! You cannot do that sort of thing all of a sudden!" Asta shouted as he went to stop Brave Dragon, joined by Noelle.
"Control that dragon of your, Bakasta!" Noelle shouted as she and Asta attempted to "save" Mimosa.
The other three watched with a amused expressions on their faces as Nero sat on Donna's shoulder.
Elsewhere, the knocked-out form of the Diamond Kingdom Mage opened his eyes.
"Where…..I'm I?" The Diamond Kingdom Mage thought as he sat up slightly.
"Finally awake I see, Mars." A voice spoke, causing the now known Mars to turn his head to see Lotus and the other Mage Warriors.
"Lotus?" Mars said in a confuse tone of voice as he looked around and saw that he's currently on Lotus's Bustling Lazy Vehicle which is flying through the air.
"Yep. That's right! Glad to see that sword-girl didn't beat you up to badly." Lotus said with a smile on his face.
"How did you…..where were you and the others?" Mars asked, becoming confuse.
"The four of us encounter those three Magic Knights from the Sword Of Logos before retreating and head towards the treasure room. Whilst you fought that sword-girl, we took our time to stash some of the treasure." Lotus explained whilst jabbing with his thumb behind him.
This cause Mars to look at the back of the vehicle and saw a few giant bags.
"Whilst the mission wasn't a success, at least we didn't came out empty handed." Lotus said, making Mars nod his head slightly before gaining a frown on his face, remembering the "conversation" that he had with Asta just as a girl with long reddish colour hair and blue eyes appeared in his head.
"Lotus…thank you, for rescuing me." Mars said, causing Lotus to blink his eyes in confusing.
"Okay. I think that sword-girl did a number on Mars. But still, I think the higher ups will be slightly happy that we have some new info on the Sword Of Logos." Lotus thought, his smile widening slightly.
And there we have it, the fight between Kamen Rider Joyeuse and Mars along with the conclusion of the Dungeon mission. Now, the concept behind Kamen Rider Joyeuse starts with Noelle's mother's first name, Acier, which translates as steel in French. That gives the element and since it's French, I need a sword related name in French. Since Noelle is royalty, I needed to look for any swords that are related to the French royal family. As for the "Swift Dolphin" Wonder-Ride book, the animal refers to Noelle magical element. Obviously, if Saber used a different animal than eagle, then Noelle will used a eagle themed Wonder-Ride book instead.
So the 11th Holy Sword wielder has been revealed, Kamen Rider Durandal, who wield the Holy Sword known as Jikokuken Kaiji (Time Region Sword World Time). He also happens to be the older brother of Kamen Rider Sabela. Unfortunately, it looks like his element is the ocean, rather than the element of space...But still, Durandal's sword being able to transform into a trident looks cool.
We also got news on Blades' up coming form, Tategami Hyoujuu Senki, and I have to say WTF?! Blades armor has completely changed, resembling that of a wolf rather than the lion including the changed in colour.
Please review and until next time.
starwing1995:
1) I like the idea of the Eye Of The Midnight Sun gaining power from the Megid, but what do you mean by driver?
2) I think about those Wonder-Ride Books.
howard567: You know, I originally planned on Noelle being a Kamen Rider from the start, but making Noelle become Rider at this point is a sign of her growth.
TheOkWriter: Thank you for Noelle's rider form and "Swift Dolphin" Wonder-Rider book. There are five animal Wonder-Ride books in total, three used by Saber, Blades and Espada, and two encyclopedia themed Wonder-Ride books used by Sabela and Durandal.
itspowertime:
1) I guess that I am taking bold steps considering that I have to tweak the new information that we're receiving from Kamen Rider Saber.
2) Yeah, I certainly did my research for Kamen Rider Joyeuse.
3) Well, I hope that this chapter answers your question.
4) Yes, thank you for pointing this out to me and I'm currently kicking myself for naming Noelle's newly acquired Holy Sword differently. But on the other hand, quoting from Noelle. "Of course my Holy Sword would be named differently. I'm royalty after all."
5) Don't worry, I have things planned out for Argent-Couronne.
6) Thank you for pointing the names of those Alter-Ride books, plus I'm surprised that someone could read the title of those books.
7) Thank you for giving me this idea, it certainly makes Storius more dangerous in this story than in the show. Speaking of Grimoire creations, I wonder when Black Clover talks about how all of the Grimoires were created? They are thousands upon thousands of Grimoires in each kingdom, so at least one point in the story they would go over this subject.
The True Skull: Woz!? What are you doing here?! Did Oma Zi-o sent you here or something? I'm sorry I decided to copy you, But thank you for the Wonder-Ride book idea.
KnightSpark: Yep, and it all started off with Acier's name.
Farhan Nugraha:
1) I already have power-up forms for Noelle planned.
2) I can't guarantee that the battle be exactly the same.
3) The rumored element is space, not time. The wielder of the last Holy Sword is Ryoga Shinda, the older brother to Reika Shinda. Unfortunately, the motifs of Kamen Rider Durandal are ocean, trident, knight, marine life, books and encyclopedia. So his element is water, rather than space. however, It is possible that Master Logos will possess the element of space despite not being able to transform...for now that is. But I hope that this rumored element of space is false because I have a fan-made Kamen Rider idea in mind that wield the element of space.
4) Are you saying that the anime is stopping because its getting too close to the manga?
