Kamen Rider Kris, the swords-woman of Mirages
"Aunt Sayo can transform into a Kamen Rider…..So cool!" Asta exclaimed in his head, gaining stars around him.
Kris noticed the excited expression on his face, making her giggle slightly before focusing her attention the giant horned-beetle which has fully recovered from its failed attack.
"Now then….time to put you down." Kris said before charging forwards, Shinkiro at the ready.
The giant horned-beetle made something akin to a roaring sound before its mouth began to glow.
"What is it going to do now?" Asta thought whilst becoming on guard.
His answer came a few seconds later when the giant horned-beetle fired a Mana-Bullet from its mouth.
Kris didn't seemed to changed direction as the Mana-Bullet headed straight towards her.
"Aunt! Get out of the way!" Asta shouted, becoming worried just as the Mana-Bullet stuck the swords-woman of mirages…..and went through her.
This caused Asta, and the horned-beetle it would seem as well, to become wide eyed.
With the horned-beetle, it turned it's body around, seemingly attempting to locate Kris, but couldn't.
However, the horned-beetle was struck on the side by a sword that came out of nowhere, causing the horned-beetle to shake slightly.
"W-what just happened?!" The ash-white exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.
"Heh. I suppose you never seen Miss Rubah fight before." The commander commented with a small smirk on his face.
"Not really…." The ash-white hair teen responded, briefly remembering what happened with his friends(?).
Back with Kris, the swords-woman of mirages became of guard, waiting on what the horned-beetle will do.
The horned-beetle lunged towards Kris, attempting to pierce her with it's horn.
Kris moved out of the way, doing a backward flip just as her Grimoire began to glow.
"Mirage Magic: Illusional Fox's Mist Of Mirages." Kris announced, making purple mist start appearing and with her seemingly disappearing when she touched the ground.
The horned-beetle became cautious as it glanced around at the purple mist which further spread across the forest floor.
Images of creatures suddenly appeared, causing the horned-beetle to become startled before swinging it's horn about as the creatures lunged towards it.
However, its horned-based attacks didn't have any effect as the horn went through the mirages.
This cause the horned-beetle to relax, seeing that mirages won't deal any damage to it.
However, this was an error when one of the mirages scrapped it's claws against the horned-beetle's shell-like body, causing it to flitch along with tilting it's body to the side.
"Hmm. It looks like your underbelly is a weak point." A voice commented, causing the horned-beetle to turn it's body towards the source of the voice to see Kris leaning against a tree.
This caused the horned-beetle to become tense.
This caused the swords-woman of mirages to smirk underneath her helmet.
Whilst the fight went on, Asta and the robed/armored people watched.
"Doesn't it feel disappointing that someone else is doing the fighting?" Asta asked, causing the commander to snort slightly.
"Its more of a relief than anything else when dealing with these insects, many receive injuries when dealing them. So having help from a skilled warrior, especially one who wields a Holy Sword." The commander explained, making Asta nod his head slightly.
"My name is Jonathan Renga. The commander of the city guards." The now revealed Jonathan introduced himself.
"So that who these people are." Asta thought, glancing towards the other city guards.
"You didn't catch my full name, but I'm Asta St-" Asta began to introduce himself, but was interrupted as multiple sounds can be heard.
"It looks like more are coming." Jonathan commented whilst the other became on guard.
A few seconds later, more of the horned-beetles appeared, but slightly smaller than the one that Kris is fighting along with revealing that they are capable of flying.
"It looks like the others are brave enough to come forwards…..?" Jonathan commented before noticing how Asta is shaking.
"Is he scared?" Jonathan thought, becoming confused as to the fact that Krid seemed eager for Asta to stay.
"Will you lot stop interrupting me!" Asta shouted in an angry tone of voice just as his Grimoire opened and he retrieved his Seiken Sword-Driver.
"Whilst they aren't as big as the one that Aunt Kris is fighting, they will still be tricky to fight." Asta thought as he strap his Seiken Sword-Driver to his waist and then took out his three personal Wonder-Ride books and then insert them into the slot before unsheathing Rekke.
Everyone backed away as Asta transformed into Saber's Crimson Dragon form.
"That sword…" Jonathan thought as he stared at Rekka before returning his attention back onto the other horned-beetles who started to shot forwards.
"Fire Creation Magic: Flame Dragon's Explosive Ring." Saber announced, creating a ring which let off a small explosion, blocking some of the incoming horned-beetle's view, disrupting their attack.
A projectile-based attack suddenly shot though the smoke, knocking a horned-beetle to the ground.
Saber himself ran out of the disappearing smoke before dashing forwards, Rekka at the ready.
"Don't burn down the forest! People still like to walk through it!" Jonathan shouted before ducking under an incoming Mana-Bullet from one of the horned-beetles.
"Are they aware that I'm Saber, the swordsman of flames?" Saber thought, becoming curious.
However, Saber had to return his attention back to the horned-beetles and began to swing Rekka.
"Whoa! They have tough skin!" Saber exclaimed as he struck one of the horned-beetles with Rekka, but didn't seemed to do any physical damaged, but the horned-beetle seemed to make sounds which indicated that he can't handle the heat that Rekka is radiating.
"Try to aim for their underbelly, like what Kris is doing." A close-by city guard commented as he swing a spear created from his magic.
"Thanks." Saber said before raising his left arm.
The staff-piece of Saber's left gauntlet shot out, making the horned-beetle crashed onto the ground.
The swordsman of flames then kicked the horned-beetle onto its back and was about to thrust Rekka in a downward strike, but was interrupted as another horned-beetle crashed into him.
Saber was sent flying to the side along with crashing onto the ground.
Luckily, the swordsman of flames managed to recover with the aid of his wings ground before getting back onto his feet.
"You're a sneaky bunch, aren't you." Saber commented as he turned his head towards the same horned-beetle which is charging straight towards him.
"I be ready for the impact." Saber thought as he planted his feet firmly onto the ground.
However, something came flying past the swordsman of flames and hit the horned-beetle in one of its eyes, causing it to scream in pain.
"Saikou!?" Saber exclaimed in a shock tone of voice, watching the sword of light removing himself from the horned-beetle's eye.
"Yep. That's me." Saikou responded as he repositioned himself so that he's hovering upright and looking at the swordsman of flames.
"That was a long conversation you had with that other person." Saber commented whilst glancing around to see if any other horned-beetles are heading towards them.
"I finished my conversation with him ages ago…..but it took me a while to find you three! You three weren't at your grandfather's house! It took me a while to find you!" Saikou ranted, causing Saber to sweat-drop.
"Sorry…." The swordsman of flames said in an awkward tone of voice.
"Anyway, it would seem that you lot have a bug problem." Saikou commented as he glanced around.
"Yeah, you can say that….." Saber muttered slightly.
"Hmm. The horned-beetles seemed to be giving you some trouble." Saikou mused as the sword of light saw how the city guards are struggling to deal any fatal injuries at the horned-beetles.
"Lets deal with that, shall we." Saikou said before his Grimoire appeared beside him and then opened.
"Light Magic: Sacred Sword's Radiating Light Waves." Saikou announced before the blade began to release waves of light which spread across the clearing, when the waves of light hit the horned-beetles, they shudder slightly.
"W-what did you do?" Saber asked in a slight startled tone of voice as he glanced around
"This spell decreases the battle proficiently of my opponents." Saikou explained, making the swordsman of flames nod his head slightly.
"Now. Lets end this bug problem." Saikou said before flying into Saber's free hand.
"Why are you letting me hold you? You can fight by yourself?" Saber thought confusedly before shaking his head slightly and focusing his attention back onto the horned-beetles.
"So Saikou has joined the battle." Kris thought as she glanced over her shoulder and saw Saber duel wielding Rekka and Saikou.
The sound of crunching leaves cause the swords-woman of mirages to turn her attention back onto the giant horned-beetle who is wobbling on it's back, which is covered in slash marks.
"It must be suffering from Saikou's spell the most, with it already been dealt damage." Kris thought, examining the condition that the giant horned-beetle is in.
"Regardless, you must be put down." Kris commented as it got into a battle stance.
As if responding to Kris's intention, the mouth of the horned-beetle began to glow before releasing a Mana-Bullet.
However, Kris jumped into the air, with the aid of Mana-Skin before sheathing Shinkiro back into the Illusional Seiken Sword-Driver and then pressing the trigger.
Vanishing Page!
The voice announced before Kris unsheathed the sword of mirages.
Unsheathe the Mirage!
Volume 1 strike: Mirage!
The voice announced again just as white energy began to cover the blade of Shinkiro.
"Illusion trickster crisis." Kris announced as she began to descend down onto the giant horned-beetle, straightening her sword arm whilst doing so.
From the horned-beetle's perspective, the blade of Shinkiro began to shimmer, disappearing or even multiplying.
Regardless, the horned-beetle couldn't do anything as Shinkiro pierced its body, causing white Mana to spread through out it's body along with causing it to spasm.
After a few seconds, the body stopped jerking about and became still.
"That's the larger one down. Now onto the others." Kris thought as she removed Shinkiro from the now dead horned-beetle's body, shivering slightly at the body fluid that is covering the blade.
Back with Saber and Saikou, plus the city guards, the swordsman of flames is having somewhat an easier time fighting the other horned-beetles whilst duel sword wielding…..despite running into a few problems.
"Stop jerking my arm about!" Saber shouted as Saikou suddenly moved his arm, yet successfully striking an incoming horned-beetle.
"I thought that you need some aid since you aren't use to wielding two swords." Saikou responded, forcibly tilting Saber's hand to let see the swordsman of flames.
"Well….yeah…..maybe I'm not skilled in wielding two swords, but even still-" Saber said before suddenly ducking to avoid getting rammed by an incoming horned-beetle.
"Anyway. We should finish this up quickly." Saikou commented, making Saber nod his head as he straighten up.
"Got any ideas?" Saber asked as he stared at the eyes of the figure imprinted on the sword of light.
"Channel your fire magic onto my blade." Saikou instructed, making Saber's eyes widened underneath his helmet.
"A-are your sure?" The swordsman of flames asked, becoming slightly concerned that the forest may burn.
"Yes." The sword of light responded, making Saber nod his head before transferring his magic onto Saikou, setting the gold blade ablaze just as Saikou pressed the side button.
Release the Radiance!
Good Luck!
The voice announced just as the flames are joined by a soft, yet bright, green light.
"I'll take things from here." Saikou said, making Saber release his grip on the sword of light which then began to spin through the air, leaving a trail of flames.
Luckily, Saikou managed to strike the rest of the horned-beetles without burning the forest.
"Phew. That was something." Jonathan commented in a relieved tone of voice as he watched Saikou returning to Saber's side where the two of them cancelled their transformation.
It was at that moment that something came rushing past Jonathan, causing the commander of the city guards to become on guard, but became relaxed when he saw who it was.
"Good work, Asta." Sayo said with a smile on her face.
"Thanks, but Aunt Sayo…." Asta began to say, causing the purple hair woman to become curious.
"You never mentioned that your a Holy Sword wielder!" Asta exclaimed, causing Sayo to giggle sightly.
"What's wrong with that, foxes are said to be mischievous creatures." Sayo responded with a smirk on her face just as fox ears and tail suddenly appeared on her body.
"Is she using her mirage magic to create those?" Asta wondered in his head as he stared at Sayo's fox ears.
"You want to touch them?" The purple hair woman asked, noticing what the ash-white hair teen is staring at.
"N-no thank you." Asta responded, stuttering slightly.
This cause Sayo to gain a pout on her face before a few seconds before beginning to smirk again.
"Then what about about my tail?" The purple hair woman asked, turning around and wiggled her tail.
This cause Asta to start blushing when he noticed the slight angle that Sayo's positioned her body, making her slightly alluring.
It was at this moment that a fluttering sound is heard, making the ash-white hair teen turn his heard to see Blanc on his shoulder…..with a disapproving expression on her face.
"It's not my fault…" Asta muttered, turning his head to the side as he guessed as to why the white-feathered bird is giving him that look.
"That mirage magic of yours is impressive, being able to make them solid." Yuri commented with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Thank you. So you finished your talk with this friend of yours?" Sayo asked as she turned her attention towards the guardian of Avalon.
"Yes. We had much to discuss." Yuri responded, making Sayo nod her head slightly whilst making her illusion-made fox ears and tail disappear.
It was at that moment that footsteps is heard heading towards the three Holy Sword wields, plus Blanc, causing them to turn around to see Ekrixi approaching them.
"That was some impressive swordsmanship you just performed." Ekrixi said with a smile on his face.
"You were watching, Grandfather?" Asta asked, becoming slightly worried.
"You don't have to worry about me. I may be old, but I can still able to move about quickly if I enhanced my body with Mana-Skin. I can even fight if I wanted to." Ekrixi explained in a reassuring tone of voice.
"…..You use to fight? Were you once a city guard?" Asta asked, becoming curious whilst glancing towards the city guards.
This cause the elderly man to chuckle slightly.
"You have to until later. You already have enough excitement with seeing Kris in action." Ekrixi responded, making Asta pout slightly.
"So, the lost sword of light has reappeared." Storious commented as he and the other two Megid Generals having witnessed Saikou's appearance in front of the Clover branch Magic Knights through a crystal ball.
"And then decided to team up with the wanted Saber and Shinkiro. I always wondered where the sword of mirages went." Liegel added, gaining a curious expression on his face at the last part.
"Regardless of Saikou's reappearance, it's time to move onto the next phase." Storious said, causing an excited expression to appear on Zoous's face.
"Finally some action! I was beginning to become bored!" Zoous exclaimed, raising his arms into the air.
"This time, we're going to strike both the Clover Kingdom and Wonder World." Storious said, causing the other two Megid Generals to become confuse.
"Why?" Both asked at the same time.
"I think it would be time for Wonder World to start getting back onto it's feet." Storious said before approaching the blank picture frame which opened.
Liegel and Zoous watched as Storious took out a much larger Alter-Ride book than normal from the bookshelf.
"With this. We will bring the Almighty Grimoire closer to our hands." Storious explained, an evil smile appearing on his face as he showed the larger Alter-Ride book to the other two.
"So what is your plan going forwards?" Sayo asked, yet having a slight reluctant expression on her face.
It's the next day of Sayo revealing herself as Kris, the swords-woman of mirages, with she, Asta, Ekrixi, Blanc and Yuri are sitting in an outside space, yet closed off from unwanted attention….who was proven difficult at times due to the white robes that Yuri is wearing.
"I'm not entirely sure. I can't uncover the identity of the traitor within the Sword Of Logos by myself...…" Asta responded with a deep thinking expression on his face.
"You could possibly recruit some allies to help you." Ekrixi suggested, causing Asta to widen his eyes slightly.
"Really? Should I though?" Asta asked, not wanting to get anyone into trouble due to his actions.
"I think it would be better if you have allies...who have no attachment to the Sword Of Logos of course." Ekrixi explained, making Asta nod his head slightly.
"There is someone that I can already think of who will likely join you." Ekrixi said with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Really!?" Asta said in a surprised tone of voice.
"Yes. Actually, they will be eager to meet you as well." Ekrixi responded, causing Asta to become confuse/curious.
"There…are some people that may give you aid…." Sayo said, a frown appearing on her face...whilst feeling slightly upset that she seems to be getting ignored with the recruitment phase.
"Aunt?" Asta asked, starting to become worried.
"You don't have to be worried, the people I'm thinking of lives within my home region, yet they….usual keep some distance with outsiders." Sayo explained in a nervous tone of voice.
"Are the people where Sayo lives are dangerous people?" Asta thought, starting to become scared.
"Yuri, what about you?" Ekrixi asked, glancing towards the wielder of Saikou.
However, Yuri seemed to be half listening as he kept on glancing around at the busy street.
Seeing that everyone is staring Yuri, Blanc flew up to Yuri's shoulder and tapped his shoulder with one of her claws a few times.
"Y-yes?" Yuri asked in a startled tone of voice.
"Why are you glancing around?" Ekrixi asked in a confused tone of voice.
This cause a sheepish smile to appear on Yuri's face.
"It just been a long time since I've properly been to human settlement. Its amazing how things change over the years." Yuri responded whilst scratching the back of his head.
"I suppose that guarding Avalon doesn't give you much leisure time." Sayo commented….whilst becoming suspicious.
"Y-yes. You can say that…." Yuri responded, starting to gain the feeling that Sayo is feeling suspicious towards him.
"Can you get any help for us?" Ekrixi asked, getting back to the topic.
"My friend that I was speaking to the yesterday, he will be keen on aiding us." Yuri responded, causing everyone to become wide eyed.
"Really?!" Asta exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.
"Yes. For a time now, he has…..different views on what the current Sword Of Logos is following." Yuri explained, causing Asta to become confused.
"Has the traitor been controlling the squad's actions from behind the scenes?" Asta thought, starting to become concerned.
"Who is this friend of yours?" Sayo asked, becoming curious.
"His name is-" Yuri began to say but was interrupted by the sound of screams.
And there we go, a Kamen Rider Kris properly showing her prowess, along with Saber wielding Saikou, yet with some difficulty. Asta then started to discuss his next steps of investigating the Sword of Logos, being giving the idea of recruiting people to help him. It would seem that the Megid Generals have started to move onto their next scheme. There's something that I should have mentioned in the last update which is that the idea of Kamen Rider Kris, the Holy Sword wielder of mirages, not Sayo, was given to me by someone else during the time when Buster was introduced into the story.
In the final episode of Geats:
1) It has been revealed that the black-clothed Tsumuri has taken control of the white-clothed Tsumuri, yet stated that they are one and the same. Regad Omega then target Neon and Keiwa, with the aim of eliminating them. With his time controlling powers, Regad Omega easily overpowered them, even when Baffa joined in before Regad Omega reversed the flow of time so that all three returned to the state before they became Kamen Riders.
2) Regad Omega states that one needs to be a Kamen Rider in order to have their wish granted, but this was rejected as Keiwa, Michinaga and Neon made comments about his lack of insight. Geats suddenly appeared and when questioned about his existence, he said that he's physically dead and has transformed himself into a deity before fighting Regad Omega and granting the other three Desire Drivers. Becoming overpowered by the four Riders, Regad Omega attempted to reverse the flow of time, but was thwarted as the time controlling ability doesn't have any effect on Geats who then ultimately defeated him.
3) Ace then created a new world, one where everyone can obtain their happiness, no longer rationed or limited, limited only by the length of one's wish. Samus, the black-clothed Tsumuri and Girori disappeared due to them not bring able to walk through the dimensional gateway. Within the new world, everyone have their original desires fulfilled, apart from Michinaga's whose desire is now spending time with his friends, yet they have forgotten about Ace apart from Tusmuri, who is now the caretaker of the shrine dedicated to Ace, and Zin who informed Tsumuri that a new/different DGP is being made with her being offered the position as navigator. A spiritual projected Ace observe everyone's desires before seeing Houtarou Ichinose chasing (1)Hopper-1, and commented about finding his own happiness.
The rule for this episode is that people will find as much happiness as their desires will bring. And there we have it, an ending where everyone can achieve their happiness. Whilst I did like the epilogue for Geats and the vast majority of the series, I didn't like how the final segment of the series, starting from when Geats achieved his Final Form, became a bit muddled with the story, since the DGP's aim is to retake Tsumuri, but other things have been happening such as Daichi's scheme and how Keiwa's Desire creating a dystopian world due to the actions of the defeated participants who were once criminals. One of things I'm a bit disappointed in is that the show didn't showed us what the far future looks like, we were just been told some pieces of information of what the citizens are capable of, but nothing else.
Some small pieces of Gotchard have been revealed, just showing some images for the first set of forms that Gotchard will obtain along with the name of his bike, it being called Gold-Dash. The real name of Valvard has been shown, Spanner Kurogane, who uses the Valva-Rusher to transform. His motives are unclear as of right now.
Please review and until next time.
TheOkWriter:
1) There is an actual sword called which is called Kris, a sword with an asymmetrical design which originated from Jaya in Indonesia.
2) I think that there will be plenty of opportunities for character growth in this story.
3) You do remember that in this story it was Lumeil who created the larger Wonder-Ride books where one of them transformed into the "Emotional Dragon" before being used to create "Dragonic Knight" when Rune Bright Dragon and Rune Dim Dragon disappeared to stop the "Grimoire of Ruin".
4) I am going to include all of the Holy Swords into Haoken, since this may cause a certain silver hair girl to become annoyed if I don't. Some ideas that I have come up with is that Asta is able to copy the Mana of the other Holy Swords into Haoken, minus the 10 used to create the sword in the first place, or a Magic Item is created to house the Mana of the Holy Swords which Asta/Saber has access to.
itspowertime:
1) I'm sorry if these two chapters feels like a filler, despite introducing a new Kamen Rider and leading into the next phase of the story. With the Illusional Driver, it's the same has the Holy Sword-Driver with the function of housing three Wonder-Ride books. with Kris's fighting style, I suppose that she will favor speed, similar to that of a fox, which may be the same to how Sebela will fight.
2) I suppose that some space will be needed first to ease the tension, if only by slightly, until a proper/"calm" conversation can take place. I think that the actions of the Magic Parliament have already planted the seeds that will result in Asta becoming the vessel for Primitive Dragon.
3) Hmmm, I only just introduced the two characters, so I guess that some time will be needed for you to like them better, plus Sayo is just protective of Asta, especially after what he just been through.
4) Master Logos decision of altering Asta's memories is to prevent him from becoming a thorn to his side without being able to control. Although Asta finding out about this will certainly cause him to become angry, which in turn will cause to Primitive Dragon to react.
