Al-Warth, the beginning ...A realm of gods and beasts, light and dark, past and future…A Perpetual dream with no awakening…The land absorbs the feelings of its people, and the fruit of wisdom ripens in its trees… Hovering between life and death, unbeknownst to anyone, the world turns… All in the name of Ende, God of Wisdom. A young warrior now sets out in the land of battle, in search of a lost friend and to find the truth of this world.
When Roxas had awoken, he had found himself in a strange unknown world, which was odd because he should have been one with Sora. But instead, he was here, in a world where the sky was instead of its normal blue it was more of a mix of blue and green. He could feel magic flowing through the air, the ground, and even in the plant life itself. He noticed that some of the trees themselves bore fruit, unique in look. Roxas went to try one, taking a bite. " Odd " he thought to himself, noting the fruit seemed to lack any form of taste and flavor.
"I wonder if you're here as well, Namine" He thought to himself, and through their unique connection he began sensing her out, looking for any sign of her presence. "Found you" he said, a smile forming on his face. While it was rather faint and quite a long distance away it was definitely her. Roxas then raised his hand to form a Dark Corridor…. but nothing happened. " The Hell" he thought confused trying again, but nothing happened. "What's wrong with my magic? " He said aloud as he tested out to see if his other magical abilities were still intact. He tried everything but nothing would work, he even tried calling his Keyblades Oathkeeper and Oblivion, but nothing manifested, or rather something was preventing them manifested. It wasn't as if they were gone, as Roxas could still feel his connection with them, they were a part of him. So, this left him with quite the conundrum on what to do. As now he had no way of defending himself, and the only way to reach Namine was currently on foot, and from what he could sense she was likely on the other side of…wherever this world was called.
"-Sigh- Might as well get moving" He thought as he started walking in the closest direction of Namine's Aura, hoping to at least eventually find some form of civilization and get some information about this place, or else he would be stuck wandering around aimlessly, and he didn't need that. Eventually night had fallen, and Roxas was still currently exploring his current location hoping to find some form of town, but he had no luck so far. Instead, he soon found himself of rather odd sight. It appeared to be an ancient temple long since forgotten to time. Many of its structures were starting to fall apart, cracks on the walls and the plant life was expansive and overgrown. But inside Roxas could sense a great power, a dark power coming from the inside. Bracing himself he pushed the doors to the temple open and discovered a shrine dedicated to what appeared to be a Dark Knight. In the Middle of the Room were three things, The First was what appeared to be a small purple and black book or rather a book like device. The book's title was Jaaku Dragon. The second item was a rather aggressive looking blade embedded in stone. The Hilt of the blade was primarily purple in color with a gray circular emblem in the middle with two blood red lines going across the gray circle with points in the middle looking like fangs. The blade itself was jagged along both sides and seemed to be made out of an unknown gold material with a gray metal strip in the middle of the blade. Stopping halfway where intricate runes ran along the rest of the sword. And the third and most impressive item before him was the over 100-foot-tall Mecha standing above him, covered in cobwebs and dust having not been touched in what seemed to be years. It was primarily blue and black in color. The crest upon its head was black with three green gems adoring it. Similar gems were embedded in its shoulders, one in both its wrists above where its retractable blades sat, another was located in the chest. Its knees were both covered by blades. Sat upon its shoulders were a pair of black pauldrons both angular and jagged. Upon its back was a striking red cape, and lastly in its hand was a longsword, currently sheathed awaiting the day where it would be drawn once again.
"What is all this? " Roxas asked aloud, not really expecting an answer until a voice that echoed all around him answered.
"This child of void is a shrine dedicated to me, The Dark Knight once known throughout all of Al-Warth as Calibur" said the voice, sounding quite old and wise. But also, a tad distorted.
"Al-Warth?" Roxas asked.
"Yes Al-Warth is the name of this world, that we both now reside in " The Voice explained " And now I fear that it is in danger once again," it said despondently clearly saddened by the apparently current events happening in the world.
"What you mean by in danger" Roxas asked honestly a little confused.
"A Great Evil is rising up threatening to disrupt the very foundations of the world itself, A being known as Doakdar and his "Pet" the Dark Dragon. " The voice said gravely " He has already gained control over Mount Sokai, the cornerstone of this world and if he is allowed to continue everyone will die, and that cannot happen. "
"I agree, but what exactly can we do?" Roxas asked " I mean you're clearly a ghost, and I'm currently without access to my magic or to my Keyblades" he explained getting the Spirits attention at the mention of his Keyblades.
"Child of Void, you are one of the Keyblade's chosen wielders?" It asked in complete shock.
"Yeah, I guess so, I'm still not sure why it chose a nobody like me to be honest with you" Roxas said humbly "There are people much more deserving of it than me" he said getting a chuckle from the spirit, as it appeared before him, its voice coming in much more clearly. The Spirit was humanoid in shape, but lacked any facial features visible and was purple in color and seemed to be made of darkness.
"That's likely why it chose you, that humility of yours Child '' The spirit said, getting a good look at him, as if it was looking through him so to speak "Ah I see, so that's the issue" the spirit said before addressing him once again. "You said, at this moment you can't access your keyblades or any of your magic, yes?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Well, my dear boy, allow me to explain why. The Magic in Al-Warth is rather unique in the fact that it all comes from nearly all one source. Ende The God of Wisdom" The spirit explained "It's his magic that permeates the land, so most forms of outside magic are limited in various ways. And it seems at least for right, until you get stronger, or someone removes the barriers upon you, your magic usage is limited "The spirit explained making Roxas frown.
"And how am I supposed to do that exactly, I have no weapons, and currently the only magic I have access to is my connection to someone…. important to me "he said blushing slightly, getting a chuckle from the spirit as it was blatantly obvious on what Roxas's feelings were.
"Well then child, it's lucky I have a solution for you then" it said with a smile in its voice. "You shall be the next Calibur" it said.
"Wait seriously, how?"
"First pull the Ankokuken Kurayami from the stone, and then open Jaaku Dragon to its introduction page" The Spirit explained "The sword should come loose for you" he said as Roxas pulled the blade from the stone unleashing a wave of Darkness that shook the very temple itself. Then he did as instructed and opened the book and it spoke
JAAKU DRAGON: A legendary fairy tale of a swordsman chosen by the Ankokuken Kurayami and an evil dragon…
"Well, that's not ominous "Roxas snarked.
"Good now close it and place it toward the based on the blade "he instructed.
"All Right" Roxas said doing as asked as the book spoke once more.
"JAAKU READ" it said as a belt formed around Roxas's waist.
"Now place the book the CaliberDriver, and the slam the hilt of sword on the top of Driver" the spirit ordered as Roxas nodded.
" Ankokuken Kurayami! Get go under conquer than get keen. Jaaku Dragon! Darkness translation! Stealing the light, the jet-black sword ruthlessly rules the dark dragon! The Book Shouted out as The Jaaku Dragon itself appeared before Roxas and looked him over before nodding in approval. It then spun around him getting faster and faster before consuming him into a dark fire. Once the fire had subsided Roxas was gone and in his place was a Knight, that was primarily purple and black in color, with gold accents going along the sides of the black parts of the armor. On the left shoulder was a pauldron that resembled the head of Jaaku dragon, it was black instead of purple. The Chest Piece was silver in color along with a jagged yellow crest in the center. The Visor resembled the emblem on the Hilt of its Sword, with the left side having an extended piece on the side. The right shoulder Pauldron, unlike the left, resembled the chest plate more. And on top of the head was a horn resembling the blade of the Ankokuken Kurayami.
"You, child are now the new Calibur, The New Dark Knight of Al-Warth, Protector of the weak and slayer of all those who stand in your path. "The Spirit Said happily as Roxas took a few swings of his sword and moved around the room getting a new feel for his armor. Said Armor was surprisingly, putting no pressure on his body and yet Roxas could feel the dark power flowing through him.
"This is amazing" he said "I feel almost unstoppable. "
This made the spirit laugh "I remember that feeling all too well" He said "Now Child, on As Calibur, you are now the pilot of this machine right here. It is known as the Vaisaga and it shall be one of your greatest tools in this world, As the Armies of Doakdar are not just armed with foot soldiers but also, machines of war known as Mashin. "He explained "when fighting on foot, becoming Calibur should be enough…. but when encountering a Mashin call of the Vaisaga, once inside it shall feed send the knowledge on how to control directly to your mind." he said as ordered Roxas to hop inside and reactive the long dormant machine.
Once inside, Roxas took a seat and with the spirits help pressed a few buttons and activated the mech, as soon as Roxas touched its controls his mind was flooded with immense knowledge on the machine's ins and outs. Soon he was registered as the Vaisaga's new primary user as Roxas noted there was a second seat behind him.
"That seat would be for any potential co-pilot" the spirit explained "they would primarily assist you in regulating the Vaisaga's output or supplying you with extra magical energy should you manage to activate the Vaisaga's mana engine's max potential. But for now, half power should suffice "he said.
"Roxas" the spirit said "As the New Calibur, your mission as of today is to protect the innocent of this land, find your friend and put an end to Doakdar" he said getting a nodded from the nobody.
"Don't Worry, i won't let you down" Roxas said before yawning clearly tired.
"Why don't you get some sleep in Vaisaga" the Spirit suggested "And then in the morning, ill point you in the direction of the nearest village."
"Yeah, I'll do that " Roxas said as he untransformed and promptly fell asleep.
MEANWHILE
At the same time, in a different far-off Temple currently resided two beings, A Young Mage and a magical creature both were former members of The Keepers of Order… Wielders of the Magic, called Ende's Dogmas. They had left The Keepers in order to set out on a journey to Discover who they truly were. They were currently inside Ende's Chambers, a shrine to the God of Wisdom. The First to speak was the magical creature. It was in the form of a black bird closely resembling a parrot. It was wearing a purple vest, and gray rune covered collar on its lower neck, a pair of spectacles sat at the point between its face and its beak. Along with that it had Blue Eyebrows. " No Regrets" The bird asked his mage companion, its voice deep and intellectual.
"None" said the Mage, they were dressed in a green and white military esc uniform. Their face was obscured by a golden mask and a green beret. The Mages' voice was that of a young girl close to Roxas's age.
"Well, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, or rather speaking as it were " The Bird said wanting to make sure its compatriot didn't get any cold feet.
"What would it take to convenience you" She asked.
The Bird then gave her a serious look "I need you to swear an oath. Here. In Ende's Chamber getting a nod from the girl.
"Understood. '' she replied "I'm prepared to do that much, at least '' she said as she removed her mask revealing her youthful face, she looked to be 18 years old, she had long brown hair and teal green eyes. Her expression was one resolve and determination "From this moment forth, I'm no longer a sorcerer of the Keepers of Order. I'm a traveler, in search of the truth. "She declared.
"Much appreciated. I can see well enough just how determined you are. Aquamarine Sorcerer. From this day forward, you are my master." The Bird explained.
"Your... Master? "She questioned.
The bird smiled warmly "a fitting title considering that you freed me from the Keepers, and your first duty as my Master ...is to give me a name. "He stated.
"So, like. A Pet?"
"Just as one cannot change their fate, so too can the first name bestowed upon a magical creature never be altered. It was a stroke of luck that I encountered you before the Keepers had the chance to name me." he chuckled "Now then, Master. Bestow Destiny upon me"
"Right…. Hmm how about I call you…Spero" The mage suggested?
"Spero? An archaic term for "Hope" If I'm not mistaken." the newly christened Spero said getting a feel for his new name, "for a destiny…it's rather flimsy. "
"Well Excuse me I'll have you know I gave it plenty of thought" she said incredulously.
"Oh, I'm not complaining from now on you my call me Spero."
"We're off then, Spero. And not a moment too soon. We have to get as far away from here as possible before daybreak. "
"Just a moment Amari," Spero said, using her name to catch her attention. "There is one more thing we require for our journey. "
Amari raised an Eyebrow "Which is?"
Spero smirked "Something that amplifies a sorcerer's magic beyond reckoning. That particularly useful arcane apparatus…The Autowarlock." he said, leading her to a hangar bay where an old mech stood waiting for them, it was primarily silver in color, its head was shaped like a wizard's hat with a singular golden horn protruding from its head. It looked like a mechanical mage with a black mantle draped over its shoulders and back. The two hopped inside and were quickly out into the open countryside.
"I can't believe they left this Autowarlock abandoned in that Temple, it's pretty old as well" Amari said getting a feel for the machine's controls.
"Its name is Xelguard. A Prototype that underwent testing untold centuries ago but was never formally adopted. They instead chose to expand upon the AutoWarlock you know as the Deenbell" Spero explained.
"That explains why it lacks The Keeper's Emblem "Amari pointed out.
"I was merely given such knowledge at birth. That's all" Spero said humbly.
"Hm, no wonder this thing was abandoned. We managed to get it running, but its magic amplification rate is awful." she explained.
"Then you have no choice but to use your own powers to offset the difference "Spero advised.
"My..Powers?" she asked a little nervous.
Spero seemed a little amused. "Lacking in confidence, are we?"
"I'll do my best but no Promises" She Replied "What's Wrong with me? I've been having trouble with magic ever since we left the temple "She thought to herself unsure of what to do "Deep down inside, am I regretting my decision to leave the keepers? "
Suddenly Spero's feathers stood on end "Careful, Master. Something approaches "he warned as four stolen golems. Three teal and one gold warped in. They were half the height of the Xelguard, and were made of jagged materials, they lacked any form of digits, their arms being like rocky pointed clubs. They also lacked facial features, only having a set of white gems in a circular pattern on their face to represent their eyes.
"Rune Golems" Amari said in shock "Did the keepers send them after us "
"That seems doubtful. Suspect they were placed near the temple as automated guards. Considering this area is well outside their jurisdiction, they were likely deployed here long ago and were abandoned "Spero surmised.
"It seems one of them is made of Gold" Amari pointed out.
"Rune Golem's absorb minerals from the earth. They are self-repairing and self-sufficient, based on its coloring i suppose it absorb a gold ore deposit, destroying it should net us a pretty penny" Spero said making Amari.
"Wow, I've would have never seen such a thing if I stayed with the keepers" Amari said with amazement.
"I must agree, consider my intellectual curiosity piqued. Shall we test the Xelguard's capabilities in a scuffle with those golem's master? "Spero asked.
"Well." Amari hesitated a little nervous as this was her first battle.
"They're not under any Sorcerer's control, so they Shouldn't be any issue. "He said before noticing her expression "Wait. You're not scared are you" he asked incredulously.
Amari said nothing, simply glazing to the side, unable to look Spero in the eye. Who simply looked disappointed "It seems choosing you was a grave error of judgment on my part "
"I'll Fight" she said steeling her nerves and looking serious not wanting to let her partner down.
"Actions speak louder than Words Master" He replied.
"I came this far on my own, I'm going to see this through" She nearly shouted passionately. A fire clearly haven been lite under her, her magic power rising.
With a burst of energy, the Xelguard entered into combat mode.
"Xelguard, combat mode confirmed active status. Odic convergence rate crossing minimum combat thresholds "Spero noted.
"I can't say I'm confident "Amari admitted to Spero "And my Determination is decidedly lacking. But I'm going to do this, Our Journey begins Now "She declared with fire in her voice, making Spero smile pleased with his Master as they charged into battle. But Amari quickly noticed a problem "Why am I having trouble so much trouble focusing on my Magic" she thought to herself "
"Master if you suspect you may be physically ill. I suggest we withdraw "Spero said while wanting her to fight, he didn't need her endangering herself needlessly.
"I'm Fine Spero, but thank you though, beside if we give up here the same things going to happen later on anyway "she pointed out.
"" Then allow me to handle scouting and machine control, then. Focus on harnessing your magic and Odic convergence master" Spero said making Amari blink in surprise.
"You can. Do that sort of thing? "
"And quite ably, if i do say so myself" pride very evident in his voice
"In that case, I place myself in your care" she said giving him a kind smile "And in return, I promise Victory! Working together we cannot lose "she said as Golems began firing at them with magic bullets fired from magic glyphs. The Xelguard effortlessly moved out of the way, dashing between each of them, as the Xelguard held out its left arm as a magic ring folded out arm. As a red magic glyph appeared and began spinning. Faster and faster "IGNEST" She shouted as the magical fire snaked its way towards the golems striking it in three places. Causing its magical core to overheat and explode leaving 3 of the four golems remaining.
The second one which was caught in the explosion of the first, came charging in trying to punch the Xelguard with its rocky first. Which in turn did little damage as Amari called forth another Spell "This is a Whirlwind Dogma, VARTEX'' she said as the Autowarlock generated a small wind vortex, before splitting it in two and creates two rings of wind, one circling each arm "Whirlwind become a blade" she said as the two spinning blades shredded into the second golem causing it to crumble into pieces. "Now for you two" she said pointing at the last two golems.
"The Enemy is in dogma range" Spero said as Amari gathered her Odic energy into the Xelguard's hand.
"Gather and Dance, Storm Spirits "she said as she slammed the two fists into a rainbow spell glyph "Blow them away TEMPESTA" She shouted as the energy formed into a vortex of spiraling wing cutting into the two remaining golems into even more pieces than the Vartex spell.
"Excellent work Master" Spero said as the salvageable pieces of the gold golem were collected and converted into currency.
"Thank you Spero." she said with a smile.
"I must give thanks for having such a beneficial encounter so early in our travels" Spero
"Give thanks? To Ende, God of wisdom "
"To you, Master. I Pray we meet another such harbinger of good fortune in the days to come, But I must say a truly fine display. How's the Xelguard treating you."
"I was a little confused initially, but I think I figured it out by the end. All Thanks to you showing the way Spero" she said, giving him a friendly smile that seemed to radiate joy and compassion.
"It seems She's taken to Xelguard quite well. A Welcome miscalculation "Spero Thought
"A Sorcerer on the run, a defiant magical creature, and an unwanted autowarlock. I think we might make a good team, Spero'' Amari said.
"We may have secured an early victory, but the road ahead is perilous master "
Amari smirked "if you're regretting this decision, you can always head back to the Keeper's" She teased causing Spero to give an annoyed look.
"Spare me. Why if anyone's going to find an excuse to head back, it's you Master" he Snarked.
"I made a vow in Ende's Chamber. A vow to seek the truth. To me that vow weighs far more heavily than any doctrine of the Keepers " she explained
Spero smiled "Very Well I'll Remember those words."
"I'm counting on you Spero. We're going to face our destiny…together" she said with enthusiasm.
"Common cause, common destiny, Eh. Can't find much to disagree there."
"Let's be on our way then. It's almost dawn" Amari said as The Xelguard glided off.
"Any destination in mind?" Spero asked.
"None. But I don't plan on turning back. "
"Very good. Let your heart lead you, Master I'll be with you all the while" Spero said while keeping the last part to himself "Until the day this world meets its end "he thought as the Xelguard dashed off into the distance, getting as far away from the temple as possible.
One young sorcerer and a magical Creature, and far else were a Nobody. A long battle lies in store for them on their journey. And for the warriors from other worlds that they will encounter.
THE NEXT DAY
Roxas had awoken groaning and stretching as his eyes adjusted to his surroundings "What. Oh right" he said remembering where he was. Sleeping in the cockpit of the mech known as the Vaisaga.
"Glad to see you awake Roxas "The spirit said, floating inside, greeting the Nobody. "Ready to begin your journey "it asked.
"As I'll ever be" Roxas said dryly as the Spirit handed him a map.
"This map shall lead you to Monja Village, the people there are a friendly sort, so it's a good place to get supplies" The spirit said as he also handed Roxas a bag filled with Money. "Now i recommend you go on foot, as despite how friendly the locals are, a nearly 100 ft mech might cause them panic " The spirit said making Roxas scratch the back of his head
"Good point, but what if I encounter those Mashins, You said i need the Vaisaga to fight them? '' Roxas pointed out, getting what he could guess was a smile. He couldn't tell with the spirit's lack of a face.
"That I did, as Calibur the Vaisaga is bound to your call, no matter where you are simply shout its name, and it shall appear" the spirit explained getting a nod from his successor.
"Well all right then, Time to get a move on" Roxas said transforming back into Calibur, map in hand.
"Good luck, Roxas," the spirit said, waving him off "you will most definitely need it "he said to himself before returning to his rest. His soul is now at ease, as the Calibur walked into the Horizon towards his destiny.
As this was occurring, something interesting had occurred. A Young boy had been brought to Al-Warth via unknown means as shown by him unceremoniously falling to the ground. He looked to be around ten years old. He had brown eyes and fluffy brown hair. Wearing a tan and blue sweat jacket and blue pants.
"AAHH" he shouted before stopping and getting a good look at his surroundings. The sky was a blueish green, there with several little white stars seemingly shining in the sky. The grass and brushes were a bright purple instead of the green he was used to, and the trees above him held strange looking fruit. They looked like pears from a glance. But instead of being green or yellow, they were purple, red or blue. "Whoa…" he said in amazement "Where am I?" he asked aloud "I was walking home from school and I stopped by the Ryujin Pond…Oh yeah, I remember now! A Dragon showed up at Ryujin Pond, and it came over to me…" he said remembering the odd and surreal experience. "Okay so…This CLEARLY isn't Ryujin Pond. What's going on here?" he asked as he heard a ruffling sound coming towards "Is something coming my way? Well, guess i should start by figuring out where i even am" he said off towards the sound.
The source of the sound soon came into view. Two red and orange armored little men surrounding and harassing a young woman with a Cat Ear head bow, long brown hair and teal blue eyes."
"Please stop" she asked, her face full of discomfort as the little armored soldiers seemed more surprised at her request "Please stay back" she demanded as the Boy came stumbling in.
"What the?" he said in surprised as the two Armored soldiers turned and looked at him with surprised faces.
"Uh-oh… did i walk in on something I shouldn't have" he said nervously taking a few steps back as the soldiers turned their attention from the Girl and directly on him "What is this thing, a some kind of puppet , a robot is it mad?" he asked before a thought entered his "Oh Gosh is this one of 's lackey's he said nervously as this statement seemed to really piss the little metal men off as the boy quickly put his hands up trying to calm them down "whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, uh, my name's Wataru Ikasube. I've got no idea what's going on, okay?" he explained and all he got was the two puppets getting more animated. "This isn't working! It's not listening to me at all."
"F…Flames, Dance IGNEST" the Girl shouted as the magic flames snaked out of her spell glyph and burned one of them, as for the second one it was struck by something else.
"Darkness Slash" said a voice as a dark wave of energy struck the second in the back knocking it over. Causing them to both freak the hell out and run away. "Huh well that was easy." said the voice as the girl and Wataru both turned around, and both were amazed. For Wataru it was because the Armored knight before him, looked like a Tokusatsu superhero, and as for Amari. It was because she was standing before a legend of Al-Warth.
"The Dark Knight Calibur" she said in awe catching Calibur's attention.
"Uh yeah that's me" he said a little awkwardly "oh nice work on that fire magic "he said.
"Oh, thank you, I'm honestly surprised all it took was a little fire dogma to get them running…but maybe they thought I was a sorcerer with the Keepers of Order, on top of seeing you," she said to him. "After all you are wearing the armor of one Al-Warth most famous legends."
"It's entirely possible" Calibur said as Wataru approached both of them.
"Hey so umm thank you both for saving me" he said humbly looking a little awkward.
"It's no problem, it's my duty i suppose "Calibur said sheathing his sword as Amari spoke up.
"Yeah, think nothing of it. It's, well what I'm here for "she said bashfully "Not that i have much room to put on airs. I was in quite a pickle there, myself "she admitted as the flutter of wings was heard as Spero had perched himself on her shoulder.
"I couldn't agree more, Master "he Snarked before turning his Attention to the Dark Knight "Greetings Sir Calibur, I Must thank you for assisting my master with those pitiful Burikiniton "he said with a bow making Calibur scratch his head, in embarrassment.
"It was not issue, happy to help" he said as Wataru stood amazed.
"A parrot?" he asked wowed by Spero's ability to talk.
"We were here to protect the boy, yet if weren't for him and Calibur, that Burikinton would've made fools of us "he scolded.
Amari frowned hands on her hips "I can hardly argue, but if you were watching, you could've lent a hand "she pointed out.
"That's not my job, Master. "He replied simply.
"Aww"
"You have better things to do than mope. They seem to have sent some Mashin out, Geppertanks by the looks of it" Spero said.
"Hmm so that's a Mashin" Calibur said seeing them in the distance.
"What's a Mashin" Wataru asked.
"Oh Well then i better hurry then" Amari said as she ran towards the Field where the Geppertanks were deployed "Well let's see. Thats, oh 12 Mashin. That's just unfair" she complained.
"It's really not" Calibur replied folding his arms.
"Can't you guys hold them off by shooting fire from your hands again or attacking them with your sword?"
"If I was stronger absolutely, but unfortunately, I haven't been wearing this armor for
long "Calibur explained.
"And as for me, my magics on foot are not going to cut it against Mashin" Amari explained.
"Magic?" Wataru said with amazement wowing the ten-year-old.
"It might be foreign to an Otherworlder like you, but everyone in Al-Warth knows what it is. Though I can't Imagine too many people have actually met a sorcerer in person" she explained
get
"Wait, slow down here! Otherworlder? Al-Warth? I'm really lost!"
"..." Amari simply closed her eyes and said nothing as if she was focusing on something.
"Oh, Come on! Don't Just go quiet on me! You got to talk to me!" he begged.
"I was ready for this "
"Huh '
"I'm Sorry I know you have many questions but I'm afraid there's no time to address them all "Amari said with a kind smile "I'll At least give you, my name. I'm Amari Aquamarine, Aquamarine Sorcerer." she said, "I'm a mage, if that's easier to say."
"If we are introducing ourselves, then you both call me Roxas current bearing of the Ankokuken Kurayami and Second person to bear the Title of Calibur" he said "Though just consider me a Dark Knight at least for now" he said.
"Amari Aquamarine and Roxas ... Wow a Mage and a knight. "He said in awe. Before getting nervous as the Geppertanks had made their approach "The Robots are coming "he said
"It's you they're after you know" Amari revealed shocking both Roxas and Wataru
"The hell do these chuckle fucks want with a ten-year-old "he asked.
"Yeah, why me? I'm just a Regular fourth grader "
"It's okay Wataru, "
"Wait why is it ok" he asked.
"Because me and Roxas are here to keep you safe "she said as a new Mashin warped in the battlefield. It was lime green in color and had an obvious snake theme to it. On its back was a dark blue shuriken
"Did that Mashin just help us" Roxas asked Amari who nodded both equally confused but thankful.
"But There's only two of you and a whole bunch of them!" he said as Roxas chuckled.
"Not to Worry Wataru, watch this COME FORTH VAISAGA" he shouted, raising Kurayami to the sky as he consumed in a pillar of shadows in its place stood his caped mecha. Its sword drawn as the ready and red cape billowing in the wind.
"More Robots" Wataru said with amazement as The Xelguard also made its appearance next to the Vaisaga
"Come on Spero. It took you long enough "she snarked.
Spero just seemed to ignore this and replied, "You appear to be resolute about this."
"I have to be, I can't afford to waver right now "
"Understood. As you will then "Spero replied as Amari entered the cockpit and the Xelguard entered battle mode.
"Miss Amari, Mr. Calibur" Wataru said worried for them both.
"Don't worry about us Wataru, please just stay in the bushes "Roxas said as he and Amari joined up with the green mashin
"Excuse me, You in the green mashin. Could you help us out?" Amari asked, getting a nod from the machine as its pilot.
"A Girl, and the Dark Knight interesting "
"Pardon?"
"Ah, don't mind me if you want my help, you have it" The pilot replied
"Thank you kindly" Amari said
"Yeah thanks" Roxas giving his own thanks.
Meanwhile with Wataru who was watching on with amazement " None of these robots are anything like Dr. Hell's Kikaiju or the Brave Express Corps" he said remembering some of the Mecha from his world like the Ghostfire V9 and from the Brave Express Corps very own MightGaine. "What's going on here ?!"
"He seems confused, doesn't he? "Roxas chuckled "Though I imagine he doesn't see stuff like this every day."
"I mean he did just get whisked away to some world he's never heard of." Amari added " it why we have to protect him"
"For the good of the World" Spero asked
"No, for the sake of common decency" Amari replied making Roxas smirk
"You sound a lot like a friend of mine, shed say the exact same thing" he remarked
"Why thank you, your friend sounds like a good person" she replied with a smile in her voice "Now Please Xelguard…Heed my Call!" he ordered as the Odic's Convergence kicked into overdrive
"We have reached combat levels, Master" Spero said as Roxas powered up the Vaisaga releasing a burst of dark energy.
"You three ready to rock" he asked.
"Yes, Spero, Roxas, Xelguard we must protect that boy" She declared as the three mechs charged into battle.
