The truth of the past
"11 years ago?!" Saber asked, becoming shock at what the swordsman of darkness just said.
"Yes. To me, the battle back then…..was to save both the two worlds and my friend, Hayato Fukamiya. In the past, we spar against each other, get mad at each other and laugh with each other. That was until the day that he decided to betrayed us…." Calibur said before speaking about the past.
Flashback(start)
A man with shoulder length black hair and wearing the blue version of the Sword Of Logos uniform staring at a large opening book, with it's pages facing down towards the ground where light is shining down.
"Fukamiya!" A voice shouted, causing Hayato to turn around to see Daichi quickly approaching him.
"What are you doing with that girl?!" Daichi demanded as he saw that Luna is suspended within the golden light.
"This girl is a unique being who can connect both worlds. I will obtained the universal truth that lies within these two worlds." Hayato explained before taking out "Jaaku Dragon" and transforming into Kamen Rider Calibur.
The transformed swordsman of the darkness then rushed towards Daichi.
"I won't let anyone get in my way!" Calibur said before he swing Kurayami at Daichi.
"You're sacrificing a little girl?! You're a father, Fukayami! Open your eyes!" Daichi exclaimed as he raised his own sword to block the attack.
"This is the path I must take for the sake of true peace. That what I've been told." Calibur said as he kicked Daichi in the stomach, knocking him onto the ground.
Luckily, Daichi quickly recovered, getting back onto his feet and started to battle Calibur.
Flashback(end)
"It was during the battle that I realized what corrupted Fukayami…...the Sword Of Logos." Calibur said, shocking Saber.
"Sis's dad's betrayal….was caused by someone from within the Sword Of Logos...?!" Saber thought as he became confuse as well.
"So after the battle, I made the resolve and left the squad, making it my duty to expose the person who turned my friend into a demon. That is the truth that I've been seeking. I needed the power to both discover the true enemy hiding within the squad and to defeat them! So that's why I need to claim the Table of Revelations." Calibur explained before lunging towards Saber.
"So you decided to harm many people in order to reach your goal?!" Saber shouted, becoming angry as he blocked Kurayami.
"Exactly. This is the resolve that I believe in." Calibur responded before pushing Saber back and swing Kurayami again, cladding it within darkness.
The swordsman of darkness is successful is landing a few hits on the swordsman of flames, sending him falling onto the ground.
"You…had friends….11 years ago, if you believed in them and joined forces. The path you would have taken will be different." Saber said as he got back onto his feet.
"The world isn't so simple." Calibur responded as dashed towards Saber.
The swordsman of flames ducked under the horizontal sword attack from Kurayami before activating a spell.
"Fire Creation Magic: Flame Dragon's Metallic Scales." Saber announced, cladding his sword-free hand into fire-made scales which he then used to punch Calibur in the stomach, making him take a few steps back.
"I'm taking a different path. I'm going to protect the world alongside my friends." Saber said as he straighten himself.
"It's pointless. What happens if you read the Table of Revelation yourself and discover that it shows the destruction of the two worlds. What then?" Calibur questioned as he quickly recovered from Saber's attack.
"Then me and friends will simple have to change the fate of the two worlds." The swordsman of flames responded before pressing the open page of "Dragonic Knight".
Final Dragonic Page!
The "Dragonic Knight" Wonder-Ride book announced before Saber jumped into the air and pressing the open page again.
Dragonic Ending Strike!
The Wonder-Ride book announced, this time cladding Saber's right leg in flames.
"Divine Dragon Steel Bullet!" The swordsman of flames announced as he descended towards Calibur who himself has closed the cover of "Jaou Dragon" before reopening it.
Tyrannical Ending Strike!
The "Jaou Dragon" Wonder-Ride book announced just as darkness started to clad one of Calibur's legs.
The swordsman of darkness kicked his darkness-clad leg upwards, colliding with Saber's finisher attack.
However, the swordsman of darkness has infused Demonic Mana into his finishing attack, making it stronger which lead to Saber getting flung into the air.
"Not done yet!" Saber shouted as he place Dragonic Booster against the tip of Rekka.
Special!
Hmm, Hmm, Hmmmmm!
Rekka announced and silver flames coated the blade whilst Saber raised the sword of flames.
"Silver Dragon Slash!" Saber announced as swing Rekka downwards just as he touched the ground.
Calibur didn't have time to raise Kurayami to block the attack, causing him to receive a critical hit.
"Fire Creation Magic: Flame Dragon's Metallic Scales!" Saber announced before punching Calibur in the stomach, causing the swordsman of darkness to fly backwards before crashing onto the ground, resulting in the armor getting destroyed.
When Saber saw Daichi's face, the swordsman of flames flinched slightly.
"Mr Kamijo draw on too much Demonic Mana…." Saber thought, staring at how both of Daichi's eyes have become red and black horns have starting to protrude out of his head.
Sensing it's master's defeat, Jaou Dragon broke away from it's fight away from Brave Dragon and quickly rushed to Daichi's side and began to growl at Saber in a menacingly manner.
"Don't." Daichi said in a commanding tone of voice, causing Jaou Dragon to become slightly startled, but kept it's guard up.
"Would…..would I have been able to take a different path had a done as you said….and believed in my friends?" Daichi asked as he slowly got up off the ground.
"Yes. There are some things that you can do by yourself. But….why didn't mum didn't stop you from leaving the Sword Of Logos, she was in the area when you and Mr Fukayami fought? She was your student, right?" Saber asked, becoming confuse whilst remembering how Richita called Daichi "Teacher" in his memory of the event.
The question caused a slight saddened look to appear in Daichi's eyes.
"Your mother, Richita Staria, was already on the verge of death before I killed Fukayami and took Kurayami." Daichi responded, making Saber's eyes widened underneath his helmet.
"Who?" The swordsman of flames asked, his grip on Rekka tightening.
Flashback (start)
Daichi watched the previous Saber stabbed Rekka into the ground, causing an explosion to occur.
"Saber! Asta!" Daichi shouted, starting to become concerned as he attempted to get up quickly off the ground.
When the smoked disappeared, the sword Of Logos Magic Knight saw that Brave Dragon has appeared with it's body wrapped around Asta, protecting him from the explosion.
With Saber, the swords-woman of flames is kneeling on the ground whilst breathing heavily.
"Saber!" Daichi called as he made his way over to Saber, wincing slightly whilst doing so.
"Ha….ha….ha…." Saber breathed heavily, she having used a lot of Mana within that attack, before glancing up to see Daichi nearing her.
"Teacher! Are….you okay?!" Saber asked, becoming concerned as she saw the state that Daichi is in.
"I'm...fine, but what about your son?" Daichi asked, causing Saber to turn her attention towards Asta, with Brave Dragon having unrivalled his body from Asta, and examined him.
"He's looks okay. Good job, Brave Dragon." Saber said, causing the red mechanical dragon to make some growling sounds.
"Thanks for calling me about Asta's location. I was looking all over for him. But Luna…." Saber said, becoming sad at the last part, making Daichi nod his head slightly.
The swords-woman of flames then glance towards Hayato, whose armor has disappeared and become unconscious, due to the explosion, and gain a sad expression underneath her helmet.
"Just what cause you to act this way…" Saber said in a low tone of voice, she having been told that Hayato has seemingly switched sides when Daichi was fighting him.
"I'm more worried about his daughter." Daichi said, making Saber nod her head.
"Yes. We better move Donna to a safer place before Hayato's actions are known." Saber said before slowly getting up onto her feet.
"Now, time to take Asta to a safe place." Saber commented before turning her attention back to Asta.
Daichi turned his attention towards Hayato.
"…..Just what happened to you?" Daichi thought as he started to walk up to Hayato and pick him up.
However, it was at that moment a sharp gasp can be heard, causing Daichi to look up and his eyes widened as he saw that a sword is sticking through Richita's chest, her armor having disappeared.
"You shouldn't have your guard down in the middle of a battle, swords-woman of flames." Liegel commented with a smirk on his face, the sword belonging to him, before removing the sword, causing Richita to fall onto the ground.
"Richita!" Daichi shouted in a tone full of horror.
Brave Dragon, whose attention was on Asta, snarled at the Megid General before lunging towards him, knocking him away from Richita.
"Richita!" Daichi shouted again as he rushed to the wielder of Rekka's side.
"I-is...As….ta…." Richita attempted to say, but she found it difficult to speak.
"Don't speak! We need to get you and Asta away from here." Daichi said before beginning to pick Richita up.
However, before he could start the process, Daichi heard a slight groaning sound, making him turn his head to see Hayato slowly getting up.
"The situation is becoming worst!" Daichi thought, starting to panic.
"Eh…." Hayato said whilst placing a hand on his forehead, attempting to regain his senses.
After a few seconds, Hayato opened his eyes and when he saw the bleeding form of Richita, his eyes widened in shock.
It was at that moment that Daichi remembered what Hayato said to Richita about her handing over the "Brave Dragon" Wonder-Ride book and immediately got in front of her, sword at the ready.
Flashback (end)
"When I came back to check on Richita after killing Fukayami and taking Kurayami for myself, you have disappeared and she was fully dead. It was most likely that Richita commanded Brave Dragon to take you away from the battlefield and into the other world. That would explain why the "Brave Dragon" Wonder-Ride book is in your possession for all those years that you spent within Hage village." Daichi said, finishing his story.
However, Saber was half listening has he process what he learnt.
"It was Liegel…..who killed mum…." The swordsman of flames thought in a stunned tone of voice.
"Asta Staria." Daichi said, causing Saber to snap out of his thoughts.
"You're the one who needs to seek the truth in my steed. You need to find the traitor within the Sword Of Logos which will help you in finding your friend Luna." Daichi said, making Saber widened his eyes underneath his helmet.
"Mr Kamijo…." The swordsman of flames said in a stunned tone of voice.
"But be aware, this path is a treacherous one, for you and your friends. And-!" Daichi began to say but was cut off when a blade of a sword pierce through his chest.
This cause Saber to become shock.
Meanwhile, Daichi has a stunned expression on his face as the sword, whose blade has started to glow, is removed from his chest and he fell onto the ground, revealing that the sword belongs to Desast.
"Heh. You have collected a lot Demonic Mana." Desast commented as he felt the Demonic Mana flowing through his body.
Jaou Dragon roared in anger before lunging towards the skull-faced swordsman.
However, Desast swing his sword, releasing an arc of Mana which stuck, managing to make the purple mechanical dragon to be flung backwards before slamming against a tree, causing it to break and fall onto the ground.
Brave Dragon then lunged towards Desast.
However, the skull-faced swordsman released another arc of Mana, knocking Brave Dragon as well.
Desast then turned his attention back to Daichi and start to rummage through his pockets for a few seconds before finding something.
"I'll will be taking this back. As long last, I'm free." Desast commented as he held his Alter-Ride book.
"Desast!" Saber shouted before lunging forwards.
This time the skull-faced swordsman stepped to the side whilst sticking out his foot, causing the swordsman of flames to crash onto the ground.
"I'm satisfied with the battles that I've experienced today, so I won't be sticking around." Desast said before turning around and start to walk away.
"By the way, you should start moving, swordsman of flames, this space won't hold for long." Desast said whilst glancing over his shoulder before disappearing.
"What does he mean by that?" Saber thought, becoming confuse.
"S-Saber….." Daichi said in a weak tone of voice, causing the swordsman of flames to snap his attention towards him.
"I-I entrust K...Kurayami, the sword of shadow to you. I'm sure that it will aid you…." Daichi said in a weak tone of voice before moving one of his arms to a pocket.
"And you may like to have this as well…..memories of the past." Daichi said as he took out what seems to be a piece of paper.
Saber slowly took the piece of paper and opened it, revealing a photo.
The photo shows members of the Sword Of Logos, who identities are unknown to Saber, apart from three, one of them being Daichi, making his eyes widened.
The first is his mum, Richita Staria, which a cheerful grin on her face whilst doing a peace gesture with one of her hands.
Richita's other arm is slung over the shoulders of another female, who isn't wearing the Sword Of Logos robe.
"Is that Noelle's mum?!" Saber thought in a shock tone of voice as he stared at the female who looks very much like his friend, apart from having her hair in a ponytail rather than pigtails.
From the expression on Acier's face, Richita's arm being slung over her shoulder was a surprising thing, but a smile is still present of the silver hair girl's face.
On the other side of Richita is a girl with short midnight purple hair and matching eyes.
From the expression on her face, the purple hair girl didn't seem to like Richita having her arm around Acier's shoulders.
"Another friend of mum?" Saber thought as he continued to stare at the photo and guessed that Richita, Acier and the purple hair girl are roughly the same age as him and Noelle.
"Mr Kamijo-" The swordsman of flames began to say but stop when he realized that Daichi is fully dead.
"….." Saber stared at the former wielder of Kurayami for a few seconds before turning his attention towards the sword of shadows itself, which Daichi as released his grip from.
"So I will be Saber, the swordsman of flames, and Calibur, the swordsman of darkness. I wonder how the others will react to that." Saber thought, smirking underneath his helmet.
One of Saber's hands began to take Kurayami, but it was at that moment that the space around him, Daichi, Brave Dragon and Jaou Dragon began to disintegrate.
"Is this what Desast meant?!" Saber thought, starting to panic just as "Dragonic Knight" began to glow and the swordsman of flames started to feel himself becoming light and then disappearing.
"Oh? It would seems that door is closing." Storious commented as he and the others started to notice how the large book/portal is starting to disintegrate along with the six pillars of light slowly disappearing.
"What?! But Saber and Calibur are still in there!" Buster exclaimed as his grip on Gekido began to tighten.
"If those two aren't back in the next few seconds, then they are gone for good." Storious explained, shrugging his shoulders slightly.
"Reopen the door then!" Kenzan exclaimed as she lunge towards the Megid General.
However, Storious fired a Mana-Bullet, causing Kenzan quickly get into a defensive position and blocked the attack, stopping her assault in the process.
"I'm going to be kind enough and return the missing pieces of land to the Clover Kingdom." Storious said before opening an Alter-Ride book.
Kenzan, Buster and William witness bright lights appearing within the general areal.
"And now, time to make my leave. Have fun in finding your fellow Magic Knight and the wielder of Kurayami." Storious said before activating his magic and walk through it. Kenzan started to growl in frustration.
"We should meet up with the others and then start searching for Saber and Mr Kamijo." William suggested, making Kenzan and Buster to nod their heads.
"Ergh….." Asta groaned slightly as his eyes slowly blinked opened.
"…...Was I sleeping?" Asta thought, starting to become confused as his senses slowly becoming back to him.
"I guess that it makes sense that I would fall unconscious, considering the battle that I just fought" Asta thought as he began to raise an arm to rub the sleep out of his eyes.
However, his arm stopped as it with some sort of resistance.
"Huh?" The wielder of Rekka said in a confused tone of voice before looking down and saw that both of his arms are in cuffs.
Asta sat up and saw that he's in a cell of some kind.
"…..Have I been captured by the Megid?" Asta muttered before noticing that his Grimoire and other equipment are missing.
"And I just recovered Kurayami and the "Jaaku Dragon" Wonder-Ride book back for the Sword Of Logos." Asta thought, starting to become annoyed whilst wondering if the Sword Of Logos will have any interest of using the "Jaou Dragon" Wonder-Ride book at all.
"Good. You're finally awake." A voice suddenly spoke, causing Asta to abruptly sit up and looked in the direction of the voice to a servant standing behind the bars.
"So I haven't been captured by the Megid." Asta thought, starting to become relieved before becoming confuse.
However, before the wielder of Rekka can speak, the servant spoke.
"Now that you're awake, your trial can begin." The servant said, causing Asta to blink his eyes.
"Trial?" Asta asked, becoming more confused.
And there we're go, Daichi tell Asta about past events and revealed that it was Liegel who killed Richita. I'm not entirely sure why Asta was arrived to Hage village, either it was Richita telling Brave Dragon specifically where it should go tell Asta, or it was completely by random. So the picture that Daichi showed Asta shows a possible second friend of Richita, who could this person be? Okay, from the end of the chapter, everyone knows where the story is going and I know that a few of you don't want the trial to happen, however, this is part of the story, sorry.
In Geats:
1) Beroba recruited Kanato due to their similar taste of wanting to make people miserable whilst Ace and the others talked about gathering allies to strength Ace's creation powers along with retrieving Tsumuri. Meanwhile, Jitto invited VIP guests who have the same tastes as him in wanting a bad end for the world.
2) Neon and her mother, who were on a shopping trip, got confronted by Kanato which lead to the two of them starting to fight each other which watched by the VIP guests who have more attention towards Dapaan than Neon, resulting in him getting Raise Buckles from them with one of them being the "Beat" Raise Buckle. In their attempt to open Keiwa's eyes, Ace and the others approached Daichi, who just have been discharged from the hospital, and requested that he take them to his "tree of Knowledge", in the hope of finding answers on how to revive Sara. However, the "tree of Knowledge" has transformed back to regular tree with the creation of Keiwa's world.
3) Elsewhere, Win managed to infiltrate Jitto's residence with the aim of rescuing Tsumuri. Meanwhile, Ace and Keiwa started to fight each other with the audience watching, with them being on Tycoon's side, including X-Geats and his assistant, Mero. Back with Jitto, he told Tsumuri about the battle between Geats and Tcyoon, resulting in her producing a tear which Jitto managed to catch, resulting in the tear to transform into a crystal-like state. As Jitto planned on taking Tsumuri to watch Geat's end, Win tackled Jitto and tell Tsumuri to go ahead and watch the battle herself.
4) As the battle between Geats and Tycoon continue, Tycoon receives Raise Buckles from the audience, including the "Monster" Raise Buckle and "Boost" Raise Buckle, and manage to fight on even footing against Geats, with him eventually letting Tycoon win, knowing that he won't be changed by force. Tsumuri appeared where she and Ace somewhat managed to persuade Keiwa, causing a reaction to occur which involve Tsumuri reverting back to her normal self whilst Ace himself changed, gaining the same white-robe, white-hair form before he started to recreate the world once again.
The rule for this episode is that gathering allies who share his deepest wish will help to create an ideal world. So it would seem that Tsumuri's creation powers has somewhat transferred over to Ace, increasing his own creation powers greatly. Despite this however, I have the feeling that Jitto may be able to reawaken Tsumuri's status as the Goddess of Creation with the tear that he managed to capture. It's certainly interesting to see Kanato Sumida make his reappearance within the show, even though his desire is a world where humanity has become extinct, I'm more interested with X-Geats's cameo apperance, despite him and his assistant just observing Geats and Tycoon's battle. The question now is what sort of world Geats has created?
Please review and until next time.
howard576:
1) Yes, Mereoleone certainly has a immediate liking towards Blades's King Lion Daisenki form...lets hope that Rintaro can still perform his duties as a Magic Knight. As you can see, Asta is certainly not having a good time in the next chapter.
2) If they weren't in the middle of battle, I can just imagine Nozel saying "Oh god, there's two of them." with Ichika's response being "Do not compare me with my lazy butt of a brother!".
3) Luckily, it would seem that Keiwa is starting to return to his normal self along with starting to trust Ace's idea...although this in turn will cause Beroba, Kekera and Jitto to become annoyed.
Brave Kid: Thank you.
TBNRGAMERX:
1) You're welcome.
2) Yeah...they certainly will be going through a lot of emotions...
3) Whilst I can imagine everyone being surprised by the sudden growth spurt, Noelle and Yuno will still make fun of Asta's height, much to his annoyance.
mastergamer14:
Whilst I can imagine everyone becoming shock, and becoming worried whenever Asta, Noelle or Yuno collapse onto the ground and their minds gets transferred and transforming, I can imagine Sukehiro, plus Mereoleone, joking how either Asta or Noelle are going into each other, much to Nozel's annoyance. With the three, Asta and Noelle will freak out when they transform, especially with Noelle being transferred into Asta's body or being the host of Asta's conciseness whilst Yuno will act calmly, although Bell may become annoyed for some reason.
Asta's Gaia Memory will be the "Edge" Gaia Memory, Yuno's will be the "Cyclone" Gaia Memory whilst Noelle will be the "Ocean" Gaia Memory. A bonus is that Lucius will have the "Utopia" Gaia Memory. I can see Lolopechika becoming slightly jealous if the three have access to the Gaia Library because Lolopechika can only have access to knowledge that previous queens of the Heart Kingdom have gathered whilst Asta, Yuno and Noelle can have access to any piece of information they want.
Dariuscrawford482: Thanks for the crossover idea, however, I'm planning on getting Fire Emblem: Engage for Christmas, so I can't write a story just yet.
