Primitive Dragon's rampage
The ground started to rumble in a chaotic manner the minute Liegel stab his sword into the ground, with cracks soon appearing.
"Liegel has become this strong?!" The three Sword of Logos Magic Knights exclaimed in their heads as they, plus the others, attempted to keep their balance.
Even though they could sense that Liegel's Mana has somewhat increased, they didn't realize the strength of the Megid General's attacks.
"We need to finish this battle as soon as possible!" Joyeues thought as she jump/staggered forwards and activate the flight ability of Valkyrie's Legacy.
Liegel saw the swords-woman of steel heading straight towards him, causing the Megid General to quickly pull his sword out of the ground and used the flat side of it to block the sword jab from Argent Couronne.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Spikes." Joyeues announced, creating water-made spikes around her.
"You're over your head, royal." Liegel commented before activating his magic, causing the water-made spikes to transform into ice.
"Darn!" Joyeues thought as she saw the icicles falling into the ground.
"Time to freeze you!" Liegel said before thrusting his sword-free hand forwards, attempting to touch the swords-woman of steel.
However, Blades appeared behind Liegel, stopping the Megid General's hand from going further and glanced over his shoulder just in time to see Blades's shoulder-cannons starting to glow.
Joyeues flew away just as Blades fired water-based bullets.
"Ghe." Liegel grunted as he stumbled forwards along whilst almost falling onto the ground.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Vortex." Joyeues announced and successful perform the spell as Liegel became trap within a watery vortex.
"What is that girl thinking? I can simply fre-?" Liegel began to thought but was interrupted as the Megid General noticed something gold appearing above him.
"Lighting Creation Magic: Lighting Genie's Lamp Buster." Espada announced before creating the lamp-shaped gun and shot a lighting bolt into the vortex of water.
The water turned gold as the lighting swirled around.
"Hopefully that will deal some damage." Espada thought as she landed on the ground.
After a few seconds, Joyeues made the watery vortex disappeared and everyone's eyes widened as the saw that Liegel seemed to have taken little damage.
"What's with the shock expressions? You can sense the increase of Mana, right?" Liegel asked before shuffling in slight discomfort.
"Your Mana has increased, but it seems that your body isn't able to withstand the quantity." Espada thought before gaining the feeling that Liegel must have gained the increase of Mana too quickly.
"This is the chance to attack!" Espada thought before charging forwards, cladding her fee in her "Lighting Genie's Thief's Boots" spell.
"Espada! Don't go rushing in!" Blades shouted, but it feel on deaf ears as the swords-woman of lighting closed in on Liegel whilst raising Ikazuchi.
Unfortunately, Liegel managed to recover from his discomfort and notice the incoming Espada.
Using the aid of Mana-Skin, Liegel jumped back, avoiding the lighting-covered blade of Ikazuchi.
"He's fast." Espada thought in surprise as she watch as the Megid General landed on he ground.
"My turn." Liegel commented before lunging forwards this time, sword at the ready.
"Water Creation Magic: Water Lion's Barrier." Blades announced, creating a shield in front of the swords-woman of lighting, blocking Liege's sword.
However, ripples began to spread across the water-made shield.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar!" Joyeues shouted, creating a water-made dragon which shot forwards, striking the Megid General head on.
"Gah!" Liegel exclaimed as got blasted off his feet before crashing onto the ground, although it would seem that the Megid General just received damage from the force of the attack rather than the attack itself.
"Time to go lion mode." Blades thought before pushing moveable piece of "Daisenki King Lion", transforming into his lion form before charging forwards, even jumping over Espada.
Liegel held is sword horizontally to block the claws from the lion-formed Blades and the ground shudder as the Megid General stood firm.
The lion-formed Blades snarled as he attempted to bite Liegel's face.
"Keep your face away from me!" Liegel shouted as he push the lion-formed Blades off him.
However, as soon as the Megid General did this, he received a tornado to the face, which he managed to not get blown away by creating a wall behind him using the earth.
The Sword Of Logos Magic Knights turn their heads towards the direction of the attack to see Yuno.
"Decided to rejoin the battle?" Espada commented, a small smirk appearing underneath her helmet.
"I was just simply waiting for an opportunity to attack." Yuno responded in a calm tone of voice.
"Just what is he trying to accomplish?" Joyeues questioned, keeping a close eye on Liegel just in case he decided to pull a sneak attack.
"He's trying to get Asta into the open by going on a rampage." Yuno explained, causing Joyeues and Espada to gain surprise expressions underneath their helmets, it was slightly difficult to tell from Blades, but he seemed to perk up.
"Going on a rampage is a bit extreme, is Asta even in the Clover Kingdom?" Joyeues asked rhetorically, causing the others to glance at each other, with the lion form of the swordsman of water titled his head to the side, signifying his curiosity.
It was at that moment that a burst of Mana is felt, causing everyone to return their attention back onto Liegel and saw how his Mana is flaring about, similar to when he first started his assault.
"I need to rampage more, otherwise Saber won't come!" Liegel growled in annoyed tone of voice.
"Here he comes." Espada said just as everyone became on guard.
However, before Liegel could make any move, a spatial portal suddenly opened where Storious came out of it...followed by Saber.
"-t back here!" Saber, in his Dragonic Knight form, shouted with Rekka raised before bringing it down.
Unfortunately, Storious raised an arm and blocked the incoming sword, whilst also closing the spatial portal.
Not wanting to give Storious a chance to perform a counter-attack, the swordsman of flames kicked the Megid General in the stomach and quickly backed away.
"Now then...!?" Saber began to say, seemingly about to cast a spell, but he voice trailed off as he realized that he and Storious are being watched.
"Asta?!" Everyone thought in a shock tone of voice as they stared at the swordsman of flames...who flinched a bit violently at the sight of his friends(?).
"Storious. What are you doing here?" Liegel asked, frowning slightly.
"Since your...tantrum isn't making any progress, I've decided to fetch Saber for you." Storious explained, making Liegel growl slightly before turning his attention towards Saber.
"I've been waiting for a rematch, Saber!" Liegel shouted before lunging towards Saber, sword at the ready.
"A "thank you" would be apricated." Storious thought just as Liegel sped past him.
In response to the incoming Megid General, Saber swing Rekka where it connected with Liegel's own sword, causing sparks to fly.
Almost immediately, Liegel started to attack with fast sword swings.
"I need to get out of here, quickly!" Saber thought as he blocked Liegel's incoming sword attacks, becoming uncomfortable as he felt Primitive Dragon starting to get agitated, which in turn cause the chaotic-Mana to become active.
"What's wrong, Saber?! Not wanting to use that form of yours?!" Liegel questioned as he continued to attack the swordsman of flames.
"That "form"?" Everyone else thought, becoming confused.
"That's not my power!" Saber responded before throwing a punch, which is clad in his "Flame Dragon's Metallic Scales".
Unfortunately, Liegel blocked the attack.
"If you're not going to transform, then this battle won't be in your favor." Liegel stated in a dark tone of voice before summoning multiple elemental-shaped swords and fired them towards Saber.
A whirlwind suddenly appeared around Saber, knocking Liegel's attacks to the side whilst forcing the Megid General back.
"Loosing your edge, Saber?" A voice questioned, causing the swordsman of flames to turn his head to the side and saw Yuno.
"Yeah, kinda..." Saber responded in a weak tone of voice as he felt Primitive Dragon becoming on guard as it seemed to judge Yuno.
"Calm down. He's a friend." Saber "told" Primitive Dragon, yet the cyan-coloured dragon didn't seemed to be listening.
"..." Yuno began to frown, sensing that something is wrong.
"Stay out of this!" Liegel shouted in anger as he began to dash forwards, yet was blocked by Joyeues.
"Don't forget that you're surrounded!" Joyeues pointed out as she raised Argent-Couronne and blocked the incoming blade of Liegel.
Liegel glanced to the side and saw that the others are getting ready to attack.
"Storious! Can you deal with these brats whilst I deal with Saber!" Liegel shouted as he glanced towards Storious who seemed not to be doing very much.
"Oh, I'm going to do something much better..." Storious responded as an evil smirk appeared on his face.
"I have a bad feeling about this. I need to get out of town(?) before Primitive Dragon can take control." Saber thought before spinning around and began to run in the opposite direction.
This cause the Magic Knight, plus maid, to become shock.
"I know that Asta and the others had a "falling out", but surely he would push that to the side when fighting the Megid." Mimosa thought, becoming confused.
"Running away? That isn't your style, right?" Storious questioned before his eyes suddenly glowed.
This caused Saber to immediately stop running and froze and starting to feel a freezing sense of dread.
"Saber!" Mimosa called as she began move towards the swordsman of flames, but stop when she and everyone else suddenly felt an ominous air descending.
Slowly turning his head, everyone saw that Saber's once red visor is now cyan.
"What's happening..." Yuno thought, starting to gain a bad feeling.
Suddenly, Saber's body suddenly ignited, becoming consumed in dark blue flames.
"Saber!" Everyone exclaimed just as Blades and Joyeues began to move.
However, the dark blue flames quickly disappeared and everyone's eyes widened as they saw that the swordsman of flames in his Primitive Dragon form.
"What did you do to Saber?" Espada demanded as she turn to face Storious.
"I didn't do much. However, you may want to be careful, Primitive Dragon may start to become snappy once it started to become agitated." Storious responded, whilst becoming curious at how low Espada's voice just became.
"W-who?!" Mimosa questioned in a shock tone of voice as she and everyone else started to feel the chaotic-Mana that is coming off the Primitive Dragon formed Saber.
"You didn't heard? I would have expected that you have been told that your friend has become the host of Primitive Dragon…?" Storious explained before sensing the confused silence from the Magic Knights and maid.
"He became what?!" Joyoues demanded, becoming angry as she glared at Storious.
"..." Everyone became on guard as they heard deep growing from Saber who eyed each one before his attention is drawn towards Liegel and began to growl more aggressively.
Instead of becoming on guard, Liegel began to laugh.
"Hahahaha. So you recognize me? Good. I was hoping for a rematch!" Liegel said in a gleeful tone of voice before charging forwards, sword at the ready.
This immediately cause Saber to get into an animal-like stance, Rekka at the ready within a reverse grip.
The clashing of swords caused the Mana in the air to shake before Saber pushed Liegel off him before grabbing the Megid General by the wrist and slamming him onto the ground, causing cracks to form.
"What strength!?" Everyone thought at the same time, becoming shock.
With a Mana-Skin covered leg, Liegel managed to kick the swordsman of flames(?) off him.
Whilst jumping back onto his feet, Liegel controlled his scarf to wrap around Saber's leg.
With Saber trapped, Liegel pulled his arm sword back before thrusting it forwards, straight towards Saber's chest.
The swordsman of flames(?) blocked Liegel's sword using the flat side of Rekka before releasing a blast of dark-blue flames.
Liegel staggered back, but because Liegel's scarf is still wrapped around Saber's leg, the Megid General didn't move back very far.
However, this wasn't of any concern as the swordsman of flames(?) lunged forwards and started to attack Liegel in a frenzy-like manner whilst dark-blue flames started to flicker around his armor.
After a few seconds, which involves Saber slamming a fire-covered fist into Liegel's stomach, the Megid General managed to make breathing room.
"I think it's time to cool you off." Liegel said before summoning water which then shot forwards, hitting the swordsman of flames(?) straight on, stopping Saber's movement, before starting to swirl around him and then turn to ice.
"Saber." Espada said whilst taking a step forwards, planning on helping free the trapped swordsman of flames(?), with the others, minus Fiona, planning on joining her.
"I wouldn't get close to the swordsman of flames if I were you." Storious commented, causing the swords-woman of lighting to falter slightly.
"And why shouldn't we?" Joyeues asked, becoming suspicious.
This cause Storious to simply chuckle before speaking.
"Let's just say that you shouldn't make Saber/Primitive Dragon more aggressive." Stoious responded, making everyone confuse.
"Now then, what should I do?" Liegel thought, tilting his head to the side.
However, his response came in the form of cracks starting to appear on the dome of ice before an explosion occurred, causing ice to fly in all directions.
Steam started to raise into the air.
"I need more power if I want to beat Saber." Liegel thought as the steam slowly disappeared, revealing a perfectly fine swordsman of flames(?).
The Megid General began to take out multiple Alter-Ride books and started to absorb them.
"So that what's causing the unbalance Mana within him." Mimosa thought in realization.
"Oh? Liegel going with that route." Storious commented, becoming curious.
"Here I come, Saber!" Liegel shouted swinging his sword whose blade is covered in water, releasing slashes of water.
Saber swing Rekka to deflect the attacks and seemingly perked up at the increased power infused in the water-based attacks.
"Surprise?! I'm going to beat you, Saber!" Liegel said in a gleeful tone of voice.
Saber seemingly ignored Liegel as he dashed forwards and attack the Megid General in a frenzy-like manner.
"..." Mimosa gained a small frown on her face as she studied the dark blue flames that is surrounding Rekka's blade.
"Do...do you think that those flames are different from regular flames?" Mimosa asked, becoming cautious just in case a stray attack may head in their direction.
"They could be. Primitive Dragon must possess its own magic attribute..." Yuno responded before glancing towards the others who shook their heads in response, seemingly knowing what the Golden Dawn wind Mage is thinking.
"Ghe!" Liegel grunted as he have a difficult time blocking the attacks with his sword, each attack of the swordsman of flames(?) seemingly sending shock waves throughout the Megid General's body.
"When…..can…..I…strike?" Liegel thought in slight annoyance as he got pushed back, the reason for this is because he's primary using his newly gained Mana for defence rather than to attack.
Taking a chance, as soon as Rekka next clashed blades with Liegel's sword, the Megid General, released a huge burst of ice, starting from the point of contact and quickly spread across Saber's arm and part of his body.
"Hah! I got you now, Sa-?!" Liegel began to say but was cut off when cracks started to appear on the ice.
"What?! That soon?!" Liegel exclaimed in head before deciding to throw a punch forwards and successfully landing a hit on Saber.
However, the fiery aura surrounding Saber started to spread across the Megid General's arm.
"What the-!?" Liegel exclaimed in a shock tone of voice as he jumped back whilst waving his arm.
However, the fiery aura still remain on Liegel's arm.
"What sort of magic attribute does Primitive Dragon possess? It's probably thanks to Mana-Skin that I haven't receive any proper damage." Liegel thought, becoming slightly concerned as the fiery aura still dance on his arm.
It was at that moment that a skeletal tail started to sprout out of Saber.
The swordsman of flames(?) then dashed forwards before twisting his body, letting his skeletal tail to fly towards Liegel and successfully struck the Megid General.
"Ofh!" Liegel exclaimed as he was sent crashing onto the ground.
"That tail does pack a p-Huh?" The Megid General said as he felt something around his waist, causing him to look down and saw that Saber's tail has grabbed with the claw-like end.
"Let go of m-!" Liegel began to say but was cut off when the Megid General was lifted into the air before repeated getting slammed into the ground.
Everyone flinched as they watch Liegel getting tossed about.
"Why are you just standing there? Aren't you going to help your fellow Megid General?" Espada asked in a mocking tone of voice, using the same tactic that Storious used earlier.
"…." Storious didn't verbally respond, but the swords-woman of lighting could sense that the Megid General has become uncomfortable.
"Why(ow!) the(ow!) hell(ow!) I'm(ow!) I(ow!) using(ow!) my(ow!) Mana(ow!) to(ow!) protect(ow!) myself(ow!)?!" Liegel thought in annoyance as he kept on getting slammed onto the ground.
Even though the Megid General has covered himself in Mana-Skin, Liegel can still feel the impact shaking throughout his entire body.
Roaring in anger/pain, Liegel managed to slammed his fist into the ground and successfully in pouring some of his Mana into the ground, causing large shards of rock to spring out of the ground, striking Saber in the chest.
"Saber!" Mimosa exclaimed in a horrified tone of voice and took a step forwards.
However, the Vermillion hair woman was stopped Fiona, who somehow started to gain a bad feeling.
Noticing the expression on Fiona's face, Mimosa stopped her attempt of approaching Saber.
With the swordsman of flames(?), who has stopped smashing Liegel against the ground, he glanced down at the shard of rock before looking back at the Megid General which cause him to unconsciously gulp.
Starting to growl aggressively, Saber swing Rekka, destroying the shard of rock before using his tail to throw Liegel in a direction….which just so happens has Storious in it.
"OHF!" Storious exclaimed just as Liegel smashed into him at high speed, causing him to be sent flying off his feet for a few meters until crashing onto the ground.
"Eh….." Storious grunted in a dazed tone of voice before shaking his head before glancing down at Liegel.
"Get off me." Storious said before beginning to push Liegel off him.
"Shut...up….How do you feel about repeatedly getting smashed into ground before getting thrown at top speed?" Liegel questioned in a frustrated tone of voice as he slowly got off his fellow Megid General.
Grap Finishing Passage!
A voice announced, causing both Megid Generals to look back at Saber and saw the swordsman of flames(?) getting in a crouching position before pressing the open page of "Primitive Dragon" a second time.
Crush Finishing Strike!
The voice announced again and the skeletal tail started to gain an ominous aura around it.
The swordsman of flames(?) jumped into the air where the skeletal tail fused with one of his legs, igniting it in dark blue flames.
"Writing Magic: Spatial Magic." Storious announced quickly, summoning a portal underneath him and Liegel.
"He-" Liegel began to say, but was cut off as he and Storious fell through the spatial portal which quickly closed just as Saber's foot slammed onto the spot that it was on, resulting in dark blue Mana to spread out in an explosion-like manner.
"They've escaped…." Joyeues muttered, becoming slightly frustrated whilst gaining a frown underneath her helmet.
"We have more important matters to attend to." Yuno pointed out, making the swords-woman nod her head, yet starting to become nervous as she focus her attention onto Saber who is making frustrated growling sounds.
"Ehh….Saber…..?" Mimosa said in a cautious tone of voice as she slowly approached the swordsman of flames(?).
"Lady Mimosa!" Fiona exclaimed in a slightly high pitched tone of voice.
In response to Mimosa's voice, Saber jerked his head towards Mimosa and the others, who immediately became on guard.
"H-hey. It's been a while. H-how...how have you been?" Mimosa asked, becoming nervous as Saber stare at her with an ominous air around him
"..." Primitive Dragon growled before swinging Rekka.
And there we go, Storious somehow managed to locate Asta, plus the others, and managed to bring him to Liegel...although the resulting battle caused another defeat for the Megid General. So the next chapter seems to involve Saber/Primitive Dragon fighting the Magic Knights.
So in Gotchard:
1) Atorops handed over a newly captured Chemy to Geryon, (4)Angelead, and when he learned the abilities of the Angel Malgam, Geryon decided to finish a experiment that was started ten years ago. Kyoka suddenly appeared at Inchinose Kitchen, intended to speak with Houtarou and Rin whilst Spanner is becoming frustrated that Houtarou and Rin are becoming stronger than him...before being approached by his parents.
2) Kyoka hoped that Houtarou and Rin would be able to help her in completing the still-in-development Driver, explaining two problems, the Driver is powered by (6)Mad-Wheel and (6)Daiogni, with the former having been stolen, and something called the "black flames". Whilst Spanner talking with his parents, Kyoka revealed that she knew that Geryon branded Fuga as a traitor and planned on using forbidden alchemy to open the Door of Darkness, but was interrupted by Spanner's parents who were experts at alchemy combat.
3) Meanwhile, Spanner and his parents were approached by the Angel Malgam who commented how Spanner's parents are dead, making him anger and started to fight him. Houtarou and Rin appeared and fought the Angel Malgam whilst an injured Spanner began to retreat with his parents, but are caught by Greyon who went on a killed Spanner's parents, causing black flames to envelop him where Geryon took advantage of and used (6)Madwheel to transform Spanner into the Wheel Malgam. Spanner went on a rampage, first attacking Geryon, who quickly disappeared, before attacking Gotchard, Majade and the Angel Malgam and then leaving.
4) Spanner approached Kyoka, who commented that his erased memories have returned before explaining how ten years ago, the death of Spanner's parents caused the black flames to first appear, effecting the entire area whilst also injuring Kyoka, who was hiding him from Geryon. Kyoka then explained how Spanner being a prodigy at alchemy can cause problems, thus deciding to erase his memories and looked after him. With Houtarou and Rin, the two of them were heading to Kyoka's research lab before getting confronted by the Angel Malgam, who is ordered to captured Spanner. Spanner then appeared, intending to use the powers of the black flames.
Well, this episode is interesting with revealing a darker side of Spanner's alchemy powers and the situation of how he and Kyoka first met. This episode also reveal how broken some of the Chemies powers are, first (7)Time-Lord allowing someone to travel through time, and now (4)Angelead being able to revive the dead. There's something that I realized about Kamen Rider Majade which is that she shares some similarities of the Riders of Kamen Rider Wizard. The first is that she uses a ring to aid her in her transformation, one of her motifs is based on a mythical creature and her name is a combination of "Magic" and "Jade"
Please review and until next time.
Howard576:
1) If Yuno is struggling against Liegel, who hasn't gained his Forbidden form yet, then just imagine him trying to fight Kamen Rider Solomon or Kamen Rider Storious.
2) Indeed, it's good to see that Fire Gotchard isn't fully broken at this part of the series.
3) That is a good point, it could be that Geryon somehow managed to alter the Chemies in the past, resulting them to react negatively towards human malice. With Kyoka, she certainly did know about what happened ten years ago and problem didn't said anything else since it would have cause a reaction from Spanner, plus she's keeping a level head despite the situation that everyone's in.
4) It could be that Geryon and Atropos share a deeper history more than Clotho and Lachesis.
Brave Kid: Thank you.
