Hi there everyone! Sorry for the late update!
A well earned explanation
Its been a few days since the attack on the Royal Capital by the group now known as the The Eye Of The Midnight Sun and things are still settling down.
Right now, back at Hage village, Sister Lilly is walking into the church, carrying two small bags.
"Father! They sent money again." Sister Lilly, causing the small group within the church to become excited.
"Great! How have the two been? You know, because of the attack on the Royal Capital?" Father Orsi asked just as Sister Lilly opened Yuno's letter first.
The news that the capital got attack spread quickly during the few days.
"According to Yuno's letter, they seemed to be in perfect health and Yuno has been promoted to Fifth Class Intermediate Magic Knight and has earned the title of living wind commander." Sister Lilly read out, causing everyone to become excited.
"That's awesome! And he only been a Magic Knight for only two months." Nach said in awe.
"It seems that Yuno is our pride and joy for Hage village." Father Orsi said with tears running down his face.
"What about big brother Asta?" Aruru asked, becoming curious.
"Let see…."Hello, Sister Lilly, Recca, Nash, Aruru, Hollo and Mayor"…." Sister Lilly began to read Asta's letter, noting how his hand writing seemed to have improved.
"What about me?!" Father Orsi exclaimed whilst pointing at himself.
"Maybe he knew that you would favour Yuno more than him." Holo commented, causing the other children to giggle.
"Wow. It seemed that Asta has also become an Intermediate Magic Knight as well." Sister Lilly said as she read Asta's letter.
"That's amazing! What rank is he?" Recca asked, becoming curious.
"Probably fifth class like Yuno." Nash commented, making Recca nodded her head slightly.
"Actually, he's been giving the rank of fourth class Intermediate Magic Knight and holds the title of swordsman of flames." Sister Lilly responded, making everyone surprise.
"According to the letter, Asta seems to be doing well at the Sword Of Logos…..!" Sister Lilly said as she continued to read Asta's letter before her eyes widened in shock.
"Sister?! Is everything all right?! Father Orsi asked in a surprised tone of voice, fearing that Sister Lilly may fall onto the ground.
"I'm fine….it just that Asta managed to meet someone in the squad who apparently knows him." Sister Lilly explained and it took a few seconds for everyone else to realize what she's referring to.
"Who is this person?" Nash asked as he and everyone became curious.
"According to the letter, her name is Donna Fukamiya, also known as the swords-woman of lighting and Asta's big sister." Sister Lilly explained, making everyone surprise.
"Big sister, huh? Are you feeling okay, Sister?" Father Orsi asked, making the nun confused.
"What do you mean by that?" Sister Lilly asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I just thought that since Asta saw you as a big sister-like figure whilst growing up." Father Orsi explained in a concerned tone of voice.
"I'm fine. I'm just happy that Asta is on his way of discovering his origins." Sister Lilly explained with a smile on her face.
Within the headquarters of the Magic Knights back at the capital, the captains of the ten Magic knight squads, plus the Wizard King, are having a meeting.
"So have we managed to extract any intelligence from those two captured Mages?" Charlotte asked, hoping for some good news since at the moment they are in the dark. However, Julius shook his head.
I'm afraid not, there's a strong form of magic protecting the prisoner's minds. So Marxs has been unable to retrieve any pieces of information from them." Julius explained, causing a frown to appear on Charlotte's face.
"Should we move on and discuss about what the Sword Of Logos has been kept quiet for a long time?" Nozel asked, glancing towards Sophia.
"Now, now, Nozel. It sounds like you're accusing Sophia of doing something bad." The Captain of the Golden Dawn, William Vangeance, a man whose features are mostly covered up by a gold mask/helmet which have two feathers, the eye pieces are done in red and blue and there are red and white fur pieces on the back of the mask/helmet, said with purple eyes peering through the eye-pieces.
"I'm just saying that she and the rest of the Sword Of Logos have been keeping some information a secret from the rest of us." Nozel pointed out whilst folding his arms.
"Let just allow Captain Sophia to explain herself." Julius interjected with a smile on his face.
Everyone turned their heads towards the captain of the Sword Of Logos.
"I believe that the rest of you have been told of the existence of Wonder World before this meeting?" Sophia asked, directing the question to the other captains who didn't got kidnapped during the invasion of the Royal Capital plus Dorothy, making the them nod their heads.
"A long time ago, there use to exist a Grimoire known as the "Grimoire Of The Ancients", an almighty book that contains every single piece of information on the human race, including its history. It was also this Grimoire that is responsible for the creation of this world and Wonder World." Sophia began to explain, making half of the people in the room surprise.
"It was the duty of the Sword Of Logos to protect this Grimoire. However, the conflicts surrounding the "Grimoire Of The Ancients" caused the pages to scatter across both worlds, transforming into the objects known as Wonder-Ride books that you have seen the Sword Of Logos Magic Knights used during the invasion." Sophia explained, causing eyes to widened.
"Seriously? Those Wonder-Ride books are just fragments of something much greater?" Fuegoleon thought in surprise.
"So you have been collecting these….Wonder-Ride books every since?" Nozel asked, making Sophia nod her head.
"Hah! That sounds like one giant hunting game, considering that these books have scattered across two worlds." Jack the Ripper, a man with shoulder length black hair and gold eyes, draped over his shoulders is a green Magic Knight robes with the emblem of a mantis, said with a wide grin on his face.
"Well, all the branches of the Sword Of Logos have been making progress with retrieving the scattered Wonder-Ride books." Sophia said with a small smile on her face.
The comment caused people to stare at the Sword Of Logos captain confusedly.
"Branches?" Jack repeated, making Sophia nod her head.
"That's correct. Due to the large landmass that Wonder World possess, multiple bases of the Sword Of Logos are set up to deal with problems that occur there. This branch of the Sword Of Logos, within the Clover Kingdom, was created to make sure that no threats from Wonder World will bring harm to the Kingdom." Sophia explained, making a people nod their heads.
"Glad to see that your folks are being considerate. I imagine that it will be stressful for all the Magic Knights to tackle threats from Wonder World." Yami commented with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"I hardly doubt that the Black Bulls even knows what stress is." Nozel said, giving the captain of the Black Bulls a small glare.
"May I ask a question?" William asked quickly in order to prevent any conflicts to happen within the meeting.
"Certainly." Sophia responded, making William smile.
"Thank you. I was wondering what happened to the cover of the "Grimoire Of The Ancients"? You mentioned that the pages got scattered and transform into Wonder-Ride books, but you never mention what happened to the cover. Did it transform into a powerful version of a Wonder-Ride book or is it a coverless Grimoire in the first place, since human knowledge is ever expanding." William asked, making everyone to turn their heads towards Sophia which was lucky since nobody could have seen Julius flinch slightly at the coverless Grimoire part.
"Unfortunately, the cover of the "Grimoire Of The Ancient" has disappeared when the Grimoire became broken. Nobody knows where it is." Sophia explained, making William nod his head.
"Is there any people within the Clover Kingdom, who are not a member of the Sword Of Logos, who knows about what you are doing?" Nozel asked and Sophia was abut to speak but Julius and Dorothy…...plus Charlotte raised their hands.
"What?! How do you three know? How unfair!" Rill Boismortier, a teenager with messy aqua-coloured hair and pink eyes, on his shoulders is aqua coloured robes with an emblem of a deer, exclaimed with a small pout on his face.
"Stop acting like a child and act as your position of captain." Nozel said simply whilst wondering how a nineteen year old even managed to become a captain in the first place.
"I know about Wonder World because Captain Sophia told me, basically a tradition between the Wizard King and the captain of the Clover Kingdom branch of Sword Of Logos, Captain Unsworth knows because she was a resident of Wonder World before moving to the Clover Kingdom." Julius explained about his knowledge about the existence along with Dorothy….since she is "fast asleep".
Everyone turned their eyes towards Charlotte who began to fidget.
"I know because…..a friend told me who is a member of the Sword Of Logos." Charlotte explained, sounding embarrass for some reason.
"Oh? And what sort of friend is this?" Yami asked, gaining a smirk on his face.
"That piece of information isn't something for you to know, Captain Yami!" Charlotte responded, attempting to sound professional, but failing.
"So, who exactly are these enemies of yours that attempted to steal the "Grimoire Of The Ancients"? I believe that most of us saw a glimpse of them during the invasion." Fuegoleon asked before the captain of the Black Bulls can make another comment towards the captain of the Blue Rose.
"The enemy that we in the Clover Kingdom branch are fighting are called the Megid who want to claim the power of the "Grimoire Of The Ancient" for world domination. The three leaders of the Megid are called Legeiel, Zooous and Storiues." Sophia explained, causing Fuegoleon to nod his slightly.
"And there's Calibur and Desast." Nozel pointed out, making Sophia to nod her head.
"Who exactly are these two people?" The Captain of the Purple Orca's, a man with short yellow hair and black eyes and wearing a purple eye-mask, asked, becoming curious.
"Calibur was once a member of the Sword Of Logos, known as the swordsman of darkness, who decided to switch sides for some reason whilst Desast is Megid swordsman who is well known for slaying many of our former Sword Of Logos Magic Knights." Sophia explained, causing the captain of the Purple Orca's to gulp slightly at Desast's description.
However, mostly everyone have their eyes turned towards Yami.
"…..Why is everyone looking at me?" Yami asked in confusion.
"Well, you wield darkness magic along with wielding a sword so….." William began to reply with a smile on his face.
"Hey! I maybe not the most respectable knight amongst the Magic Knights, but I'm not someone who would turn their back on the kingdom." Yami responded quickly.
"Does Calibur's betrayal….has anything to do with Asta's "Brave Dragon" Wonder-Ride book? He seemed pretty interested on getting his hands on that Wonder-Ride book." Fuegoleon asked, causing a frown to appear on Sophia's face.
"I don't know…..There was a large scale battle that occurred within Wonder World ten years ago where Calibur stole many Wonder-Ride books that were in our possession. So maybe….." Sophia said in a slow tone of voice.
"During their encounter a few days ago, the boy's red dragon and Calibur's purple dragon reacted to each other, causing the two Wonder-Ride books to glow. Does that has to do with it?" Charlotte asked, making Sophia's frown deepen.
"I...may have read something that include two dragons…." Sophia replied slowly.
"What else occurred in that battle?" Nozel asked, causing a sad expression to appear on Sophia's face.
"We lost the lives of many of our knights, including those of the previous Saber and a Magic Knight called Daichi Kamijo. His body was never recovered." Sophia explained, causing the room to feel cold all of a sudden.
"So how exactly did Asta gained the "Brave Dragon" Wonder-Ride book? Did the Sword Of Logos managed to retrieve the book and Rekka before Calibur could steal the book and then give them to Asta when he joined the squad?" Fuegoleon asked, making Sophia shook her head.
"No. According to Asta, the previous Saber supposedly entrusted "Brave Dragon" and Rekka to him before he was somehow got transported to Hage village." Sophia explained, making the captain of the Crimson Lions surprise slightly nodding his head.
"What has been happening with the large pieces of lands disappearing?" Gueldre asked, frowning slightly as he recall how those incidents cause problems for his...business.
"Even though the "Grimoire Of The Ancients" has been broken, its powers can be replicated. So the Megid have been using Alter-Ride books to mimic the powers of the "Grimoire Of The Ancient"." Sophia explained, making Gueldre nod his head slightly.
"So what's up with the Megid's teaming up with the Eye Of The Midnight Sun? That terrorist group seem to have a powerful group backing them." Rill asked, becoming curious.
"That's remain a mystery. But for now, the Eye Of The Midnight Sun seem to be interested in collecting those stones." Fuegoleon responded, causing confuse expressions to appear on the other captain's faces.
"How do you know that?" Nozel asked, recalling how Licht stole Fuegoleon's necklace.
"During the unexpected collaborated mission between the Sword Of Logos and the Back Bulls, we managed to retrieve a stone that is similar to Captain Fuegoleon's red stone necklace, but pink. The group of Mages, plus the Megid, that targeted Shooshi village were interested in retrieving that same pink stone." Sophia explained, making Nozel to nod his head slightly.
"Where's the pink stone now?" Julius asked, becoming curious.
"Its at the Sword Of Logos base where we have been analyzing the stone. But we came up with no result apart from that the stone produces a strange magical signal, that's how we located the stone whereabouts in the first place. Currently its in the hands of Nero." Sophia explained, causing Julius to nod his head slightly.
"Who this Nero person?" William asked, making the captain of the Sword Of logos silent for a few seconds as she realize that what she is going to say next will sound absurd.
"Nero…..is basically the pet bird of the Sword Of Logos." Sophia replied, causing everyone to stare at her blankly.
"…..So you putting the safety of a valuable object in the "hands" of a bird?" Nozel asked blankly, making Sophia nod her head slowly.
"Yes. But Nero is producing the same magical signal and she's been willingly to cooperate ever since she became a part of the squad." Sophia explained, making Nozel sigh whilst shaking his head slightly.
"If there is the possibility that there are more of these stones still out there and the Eye Of The Midnight Sun are still collecting them, is it possible for your squad to locate them by enhancing the sensors?" Julius asked, making Sophia gain a frown on her face.
"Yes. I think that's possible." Sophia replied, making Julius smile slightly.
"But we still don't know this group's goal is by collecting these stones." Jack pointed out, making frowns to appear on the captain's faces.
"Did Licht mentioned anything that can be some sort of indication to his group's goal?" Julius asked Fuegoleon, causing the captain of the Crimson Lions to shake his head.
"Nothing….but he did mention that he was born into a tribe that use to exist within the Forsaken Realm." Fuegoleon said, causing shock expressions to appear on the captain's faces, mainly those who encountered him.
"From the Forsaken Realm?!" Nozel repeated, making Fuegoleon nod his head.
"Yes. But if this is true, then surely we have heard of a powerful magic-wielding tribe ages ago." Fuegoleon pointed out, causing Nozel to gain a frown on his face.
"I guess that the most likely idea is that this group used their magic to keep themselves hidden from the rest of the Clover Kingdom." Charlotte suggested with a small frown on her face.
"But that doesn't explain why this Licht person would attack the capital though?" Yami pointed out, making Charlotte to nod her head slightly.
"He must have felt his tribe is trap by hiding themselves and wanting to break free." William offered, causing the captains to gain frown on their faces.
"Anyhow. Our main objective at the moment is to fortify the defenses around the Royal Capital and keep a sharp lookout for when the Eye Of The Midnight Sun will strike again. Even though the Sword Of Logos will be on the front lines of predicting their movements, we don't know if they are going to appear in other places." Julius explained, making all the captains nod their heads.
"….All of them seem trust worthy, but I can't ignore the fact there is a traitor amongst us." Julius thought, gaining a frown on his face.
Meanwhile in a different location, Legeiel and Rades are having an argument.
"Saber is my opponent, Dragon-Head!" Rades shouted in annoyance.
"And why should you face Saber? I pretty much know the swordsman of flames longer than you." Legeiel, in his human form pointed out, making Rades growl slightly.
"What are you talking about? I'm talking about the current Saber, not the others that came before him!" Rades said, as he glared at the Megid general.
"It doesn't matter what generation of Saber it is, all of them are my opponents." Legeiel said whilst shrugging his shoulders slightly.
As the two argued, Sally, who now to be shown with short black hair and red eyes and is wearing extremely revealing maroon coloured clothes, watched them with a grin on her face.
"Hehehehe. Those two are really interested in fighting this Saber guy. Maybe I should take him for myself and dissect him." Sally thought before giggling.
"What are those two arguing about?" A voice asked, causing Sally to turn his head to see Valtos approaching her.
"Just arguing about who wants to fight Saber." Sally replied, making the spatial Mage sigh.
"Honestly, can those two just cooperate? We pretty much on the same side." Valtos commented as he shook his head slightly.
"Oh? I thought that you have mixed feelings about these Megid people." Sally pointed out, making Valtos closed his eyes.
"That's just my own opinion on the group. Its the master's decision about who he wants to join forces with." Valtos explained, making Sally nod her head slightly.
"I'm fine with them as long they give me some of those Alter-Ride book monsters to experiment on." Sally said with a smile on her face.
"Why I'm I not surprised?" Valtos thought before sighing again.
"Argent-Curonne, the sword of steel?" Storious asked as he talked to Desast.
"That's correct, the wielder of that sword is called Kamen Rider Joyeuse." Desast replied, causing Storious to gain an interested expression on his face.
"Hah. So a new opponent to fight then?" Zoous said with a predator-like grin on his face.
"Do you know who the identity of the Joyeuse?" Storious asked, becoming curious.
"The only thing I know is that she's the youngest daughter of Acier Silva." Desast replied, making both Megid generals to become surprise.
"Oh? The house Of Silva is full of surprises." Storious commented with a grin on his face.
As the conversation continued, both Calibur and Licht are having their own conversation.
"So a new Holy Sword is born…." Calibur mused, thinking how Argent-Curounne must have been forged sometime during his departure from the squad.
"Will this cause a problem on you?" Licht asked, becoming curious.
"No. This does not change my plans in collecting the "Brave Dragon" Wonder-Ride book." Calibur explained, making Licht nod his head slightly.
"But please be careful in not harming the boy too much. He's a valuable piece of the endgame." Licht explained with a smirk on his face.
"It depends on what decisions Asta will make." Calibur responded, making Licht shake his head whilst sighing slightly.
And there we have it, Sophia explaining the mission of the Sword Of Logos to the rest of the Magic Knight captains along with a small hint of how Charlotte knows about Wonder World. Meanwhile, the Megid, plus Calibur, have found out from Desast the existence of Argent-Curonne. So Kamen Rider Saber's final form has made it's debut and I found it's abilities interesting, being similar to Kamen Rider Gaim's final form ability to summon weapons. It was also confirmed that Solomon can use his sword to summon the "King of Solomon" Mechas, something that has been questioned for a while.
Now that Saber's final form has made it's debut, I've been wondering about Asta's power-level in comparison with a magic spirit.
In my mind:
1) Brave dragon will be flattened by a spirit in combat.
2) Crimson Dragon and Dragonic Knight will be somewhere lower than a spirit.
3) Primitive Dragon and Elemental Dragon will be on equal footing with a spirit.
4) Xross Saber will leave all four magic spirits in the dust.
Please review and until next time.
itspowertime:
1) I can see that as a possibility, with Kurayami and Saikou being the most effective out of the other Holy Swords.
2) Possibly since Fuegoleon is great at giving motivational speeches.
3) I have a small idea about how Batch will be released from his seal for the first time.
4) Since Kurayami is capable of sealing other Holy Swords, I can see the sword of shadows being able to seal magic of Magic Knights, or at the very least seal their Grimoires.
5) The Full Wonder Combo won't appear in the Black Clover arcs.
6) Well, I will write that Kenzan will attempt to make Yuno another rival since they are both wind users.
7) I haven't got a idea about the ranks of the other Sword Of Logos Magic Knights.
8) I'm not sure about Master Logos' influence in the other Kingdoms I'm afraid.
9) Maybe, Hehehehe.
10) Yeah...everyone should keep their mouths tightly shut in the future.
11) For your Kamen Rider laevateinn idea, what sort of Holy Sword do you want them to wield?
Farhan Nugraha:
1) I'm thinking about dropping the idea about the OC final form idea.
2) I try to keep things balance amongst the characters.
3) To be honest, I will have to add Argent-Curonne into the Supreme Holy Sword regardless because if I don't, then Noelle will use the aid of a spatial Mage to find me and then demand that her sword will be apart of Haouken Xross Saber.
Guest:
1) I can see that has a possibility.
2) The Haouken Xross Saber is created from the other Holy Swords, but I'm not sure about the Grimoire part though.
3) I can see that happening.
howard567:
1) Asta will very likely be running as fast as he can from Mereleona who wants to spar against Elemental Dragon...whilst Julius watch.
2) That's be surprising that Fuegoleon knows about Bacht's fall into villainy.
3) Fuegoleon as the new Falchion...are you mad? Fuegoleon already has the fire spirit Salamander, giving him Kyomu and "Eternal Phoenix" will cause everyone to run into cover, saying how he's pretty much transformed into the male version of Mereleone in making people scared.
TheOkWriter:
1) Yeah...maybe I did judge Xross Saber too quickly before it made it's debut, But I enjoyed seeing the abilities of the Hoaken, being able to summon copies of any of the other Holy Swords, apart from Kyomu for some season, and being able to recreate the world that Solomon attempted to destroy. Whilst I was away on my stay-vacation, I've been thinking and came up with an idea that Asta could use the "Emotional Dragon" Wonder-Ride book instead of the "Brave Dragon" Wonder-Ride book when wielding the Hoaken. Whilst it may be slightly occish, its better than the repainted base suit.
2) Yes, I've been thinking of adding the other Holy Swords into the "Great Book Ritual".
3) Its okay. However, I'm a bit stuck on how to write the final form sword's name because it will be confusing if I called it "Xross Saber" and it be a bit unfair if I called it "Haoken" since I haven't been calling the other swords by their "Ken" name.
DJ Toku:
1) Well, they could have give Saber a different, yet simple, suit at the very least.
2) Its nice to see Kento transforming back into Kamen Rider Espada, its quite a surprise to see Kamen Rider Calibur 1st returning and its surprising to see that Bacht is down for good. I'm not sure what these pieces of news will effect the future of this story.
3) I can see that happening.
4) I'm keeping silent about this story version of Kenzan.
Dragon Rider 66:
1) Noelle seeing the scene and becoming angry: That Bakasta...
Swift Dolphin: I guess that its my turn then.
2) I got that figured out, don't worry.
3) I have decided to keep Xross Saber, with a different Wonder-Ride book being used, but thanks for the additional extra final form idea.
4) Well, Bacht can finally reunite with his deceased family.
5) Asta: Why do I feel that I'm in danger?
6) I can see Nozel, or possibly the other characters, attempting to prevent Yuri getting influenced too much by Yami, although it may be too late...
7) I already have Storm Eagle's wings planned out.
Fanreader365: I know that its impossible due to Shinobi's timeline getting erased, but it would be interesting if Kamen Rider Shinobi making a cameo appearance within Kamen Rider Revice.
