Meetings and the trinity of foxes
Coming through a side corridor of the room is a young looking woman, seemingly in her early twenties, with blond hair and purple eyes. She is wearing a deep yellow cloak, along with a matching witch's hat, a purple jacket, matching skirt and matching stockings. On her feet are brown boots.
"Is she the chief witch?" Asta thought whilst becoming tense at the aura that the newly appeared witch is producing.
"Miss Rubah. Its nice to see that you have returned as swiftly as possible." Olivia spoke in a calm tone of voice.
"Yes, I have returned, Chief Olivia." Sayo responded whilst bowing.
Olivia then turned her attention towards Asta.
"And this is the male that you brought along." Olivia commented, she having been told about the presence of Asta from the witch-guard.
"That's correct. This is my nephew, Asta Staria." Sayo responded, making Olivia perk up slightly.
"Staria? You're a relation to Ekrixi and Richita?" Olivia asked, directing the question to Asta himself.
"Yes. Richita Staria is my mum." Asta responded whilst quickly bowing before realizing something.
"You knew mum, ma'am?" Asta asked, yet froze slightly since he wasn't sure if he should talk or not.
However, Olivia just nodded her head in response.
"Yes, Richita visited the Penyihir mountains when Ekrixi comes and visits, such a nice girl. She was responsible for Sayo here in becoming the next wielder of Shinkiro." Olivia explained, causing Asta to widen his eyes before glancing towards Sayo.
"Really? My mum inspired you into becoming Kamen Rider Kris?" Asta questioned, making Sayo nod her head whilst starting to blush slightly.
"Y-yes. When I heard that Sir Ekrixi is planning on passing Rekka onto your mother, I wanted to be like her." Sayo explained in a shy matter, causing Asta to raise an eye-brow whilst Olivia giggled slightly at the interaction.
"But unfortunately, Rekka was lost during a battle that happened…..how old are you?" Olivia began to explain before switching to a question.
"I'm sixteen years old." Asta responded, yet feeling annoyed that he was asked a question.
"Well, the battle happened eleven years ago, making you five at the time. Although I'd expect that Rubah already told you the details….Didn't you disappeared as well?" Olivia asked, switching the explanation to a question again.
"Yes, that's correct." Asta responded, causing Olivia to slap a hand over her forehead.
"That means that you are aware of the details already." Olivia muttered, feeling annoyed at herself.
During this, the wielder of Rekka gave the wielder of Shinkiro a look, making Sayo nod her head, knowing what Asta is "saying".
"Actually…." Asta began to say whilst taking out his Grimoire, making Olivia curious.
Her eyes widened when she saw Rekka coming out of the pages.
"Y-you're the current wielder of Rekka!" Olivia exclaimed in a shock tone of voice just as Blair, who has been present in the meeting as well, widened her eyes, becoming shock as well.
"Y-yes. That's correct."Asta responded, becoming startled at Olivia's behavior.
Olivia then began to approach Asta, making the ash-white hair teen present Rekka, thinking that the chief witch wants to examine the sword of flames closer.
Olivia stood in front of Asta before….tightly hugging him.
"You clever boy! I thought that the sword of flames was lost forever. It would be even worst if Rekka, the first man-made Holy Sword, fell into the wrong hands!" Olivia said as she released Asta with a wide smile on her face.
"Eh?" Asta said in a blank tone of voice as he stare at Olivia.
"And did you collected the three Wonder-Ride books that creates the Crimson Dragon form?!" Olivia in an excited tone of voice.
"Y-yes." Asta responded as he took a few steps back.
It was at that moment that Miss Blair coughed slightly.
"Chief Olivia. Can we please focus on more important matters?" Blair asked, giving the chief witch a narrow-eyed look.
"Fine..." Olivia muttered before clearing her throat.
"As I informed you, Sayo, that strange sightings have been noted following the disappearance of two witches who live in the village, Kecil and Utama." Olivia explained, causing Sayo to gain a small frown on her face.
"Do you know them, Aunt?" Asta asked, noticing the reaction.
"Yes. Kecil Arcana and Utama Arcana. Those two are a part of a group of witches that protect the artifacts that we have collected over the years, including that artifact that I mentioned earlier." Sayo explained, making Asta nod his head slightly.
"Hm? You told him about that?" Olivia asked, becoming curious.
"I only told Asta that about the culprits could targeting a specific artifact, I didn't told which one." Sayo explained, causing Olivia to hum slightly.
"Actually, we have a good idea about was going on, Chief Olivia." Sayo said, causing both Olivia and Blair to perk up.
"Really?! You do?" The chief witch asked, becoming relieved that some answers can be found.
Sayo and Asta explained to the two witches about the activities that the Megids have been doing.
"I see. Then it is important that we rescue Kecil and Utama are freed before their life-force have completely drained." Olivia said with a serious expression on her face.
"But how though? Whenever we get close to investigate, the cause has already disappeared." Blair pointed out, not expecting that two Megids are involved.
"Good point. We just have to wait until the Megids appear again..." Olivia responded, yet feeling reluctant on the idea since this would involve Kecil's and Utama's life-force being drained even further.
Olivia then sighed.
"You two will just have to be on standby until the Megis showed themselves. Although...you may need some extra help since the Megids will be powerful." Olivia commented seeing how Kecil and Utama possess large amounts of Mana.
"We've been managing to deal with the Megids, especially with my Dragonic Knight form...You haven't shown me your full Wonder-Combo form though." Asta said in realization as he glance towards Sayo.
"Wel/Dragonic Knight?" Olivia asked, cutting off Sayo as she tilted her head to the side.
"Yes. Dragonic Knight is a form form that goes beyond Crimson Dragon." Asta explained, which was a mistake.
"Really?! Show me!" Olivia exclaimed as she got close to Asta again, this time having stars in her eyes.
"She must be a big fan of Rekka." Asta thought, starting to become scared at how close Olivia is.
Luckily, it was at that moment that Blair got in between Asta and Olivia, using her arms to separate the two.
"Chief Olivia, please! You have an image to uphold." Blair pointed out in a raised tone of voice.
This cause Olivia to start pouting.
"T-thank you." Asta said, becoming relived.
"I apologize for Chief Olivia's actions. She can become excited with things that surrounds the Sword of Logos." Blair explained as she glance over her shoulder, making Asta nod his head slightly.
"She's basically a cross between the Wizard King and the Witch Queen…...lets hope that Chief Olivia and Sir Julius never meet each other." Asta thought, shivering at the thought.
"Miss Rubah. I think it would be best if you two leave now whilst I try to calm Chief Olivia down." Blair explained, making Sayo nod her head in an enthusiastic manner.
"Thank you, Miss Blair. Come on now, Asta." Sayo said as she placed her hands on Asta's shoulders and steer him out of the room.
"You need to show me that new form of yours later, Asta!" Olivia called, glancing around Blair.
"O-oka/Don't look back, Asta." Sayo said, cutting of Asta, making the ash-white hair teen sweat-drop.
"Ahh. It's nice to be back home." Sayo said as she and Asta entered a smallish wooden house.
"It's pretty clean." Asta commented as he glanced around, noticing that isn't any dust lingering about.
"It's because of this." Sayo responded as she picked up a small wooden doll which resembles a small fairy.
"When I have been giving missions as Kamen Rider Kris, I tend to be away for long periods of time, so I have this doll which wakes up and clean the place, along with preventing any break ins letting me to avoid seeing a nightmare when getting back home." Sayo explained, making Asta snort slightly.
"I'll go and make some drinks." The wielder of Shinkiro said as she place the wooden doll back onto the table and walked over to a small kitchen-like space.
With Asta, the wielder of Rekka sat down on one of the gathered chairs that are arranged within the room and noticed a picture on one of the tables.
The picture shows Sayo standing back-to-back with his mum Richita at a slight angle whilst having Rekka and Shinkiro crossed, their blades pointing downwards.
Grins are also present on their faces.
"That was taken sometime after I inherit Shinkiro, two years after your mum became Kamen Rider Saber." Sayo explained, knowing which photo Asta is looking at.
Asta nodded his head just as Sayo approached him and passed a cup to him.
"Aunt, how did you and mum meet?" Asta asked after a few seconds of being quiet, becoming curious. Sayo took a sip of her drink before speaking.
"If you remember from what Chief Olivia said, your Grandfather sometimes takes Richita with him to visits the Penyihir mountains on his duties as a Sword of Logos representative. It was during those visits that me and Richita meet." Sato began to explain.
"Hey! The swordsman of flames has appeared!" A witch announced as she walk through the village, catching everyone's attention.
"You don't need to shout, you know that this is business between the witches and the Sword of Logos." A witch pointed out, making the announcer stop.
"Well, it's a precaution…." The announcer responded in a sheepish tone of voice.
This cause some of the surrounding witches to laugh slightly.
Some distance away, sitting in a tree in a younger Sayo.
"Hmm. So the Sword of Logos are back." Sayo commented in a tone of slight interest.
Whilst the younger witch isn't interested with the Magic Knight squad, she does show interest in the Holy Swords that the Sword of Logos possess…..maybe because the witches possess their own Holy Sword.
"Although Shinkiro is far greater than anyone of the Holy Swords possess." Sayo commented in an off-handed manner.
"Hey! Rekka is more powerful!" A voice suddenly spoke, making Sayo jump an almost fell off the tree branch she's sitting on.
After regaining her hold, Sayo turned her head to the side and saw Richita having a hold on the tree trunk.
"Don't just just speak like that! I almost fell off!" Sayo said in annoyed tone of voice.
"Sorry, sorry. I'm Richita Staria by the way." Richita introduced herself. This cause Sayo to blink her eyes.
"You're related to the swordsman of flames?" Sayo asked, faintly remembering that the current swordsman of flames possess the surname of "Staria".
"That's correct, he's my dad." Richita responded, causing Sayo to gain an interested expression on her face.
"I'm Sayo Ill Rubah. What are you here on a business trip?" Sayo asked, becoming curious.
"Dad decided to take me to the homeland of the witches, saying that it would be interesting….although mum was a bit concerned." Richita explained, saying the last part with a sheepish smile on her face.
"What was your mother worried about, worried that you may be converted into becoming a witch?" Sayo questioned with a smirk on her face.
This cause Richita to giggle slightly.
"Nothing like that. Sooooo, Shinkiro is a Holy Sword? Dad told me that you people possess a Holy Sword, saying it was the founder of this group who was the wielder of Shinkiro of that era." Richita said, becoming curious.
"That's correct, the sword of mirages, Shinkiro. It's allows a person to transform into Kamen Rider Kris who is considered the guardian of the witches." Sayo explained, making Richita nod her head slightly.
"What sort of magic do you wield? Witches possess rare types of magic, right? Mine's fire magic." Richita said as she ignite her hand, letting flames dance around it.
"Put those flames out! Do you want to burn the tree?!" Sayo demanded in a shock tone of voice.
"Whoops, my bad." Richita said as she made the flames disappear, replacing it with a sheepish smile on her face.
Sayo sighed deeply whilst shaking her head before speaking.
"I bet that you're a handful back at your home." Sayo commented.
"Hey. That's not nice." Richita said with a pout on her face.
"To answer your question. I wield mirage magic." Sayo said as she held up a hand and create a butterfly, producing a purple mist along with it.
"That's cool." Richita said in interested tone of voice before realizing something.
"You have the matching attribute as Shinkiro. Are you interested in wielding Shinkiro in the future?" Richita asked, making Sayo surprise.
"I'm…..not sure. Its a long process for a witch to be chosen to wield Shinkiro." Sayo responded, making Richita hum slightly.
"Well, I'm planning on joining the Sword of Logos when I'm older, following Dad's footsteps." Richita said, making Sayo nod her head slightly.
"Making friends, Richita." A voice commented, making both Richita and Sayo glance down to see a younger Ekrixi looking up at them.
Standing next to him is Olivia.
"Yep! This is Sayo." Richita responded with a smile on her face.
"H-hello." Sayo greeted, becoming slightly nervous as the current wielder of Rekka stood underneath them.
"Nice to meet you, Sayo." Ekrixi greeted back, a small smile being present on his face.
"Are you finished already, Dad?" Richita asked, a hint of disappointment being present in her voice.
"Not yet, I need to check on something first." Ekrixi responded, making a small grin appear on Richita's face.
"Just be careful up there you two." Olivia pointed out, making both girls to nod their heads in response.
"This way, Ekrixi." Olivia said as she started to guide Ekrixi in a direction.
"Do you know where they are going?" Richita asked, becoming confused as she glance towards Sayo.
"…" Sayo didn't say anything, she having a good idea as to where Ekrixi and Olivia are heading.
"Sayo?" Richita asked, starting to become worried.
"Sorry. You don't need to worry about where your father and Chief Olivia are heading." Sayo said in a reassuring tone of voice, making Richita tilt her head to the side, becoming confused.
Flashback (End)
"And ever since then, Richita visited the Penyihir mountains with Sir Ekrixi, plus your grandmother some times." Sayo told her story, making Asta nod his head, being interested.
"But what about the place that Grandfather and Chief Olivia headed to? It has to be related to the Sword of Logos?" Asta thought, becoming curious whilst thinking about asking Sayo. However, a different question appeared in his head instead.
"How did Mum meet Acier Silva, do you know?" This cause a slight surprise expression to appear on Sayo's face.
"You want to know?" Sayo asked back, expecting that Asta wants to keep his thoughts away from his friends(?) at the Sword of Logos, or anything related to them, as far as possible.
Asta nodded his head in response.
"I wasn't with Richita at the time, but I was told that your mum was visiting the Clover Kingdom, this time with both Sir Ekrixi and Lady Setareh. Whilst Sir Ekrixi was doing business with the Clover Branch, Lady Setareh and Richita spend time within the capital, and somehow encounter Acier. Not sure about the circumstances though." Sayo explained, gaining a small frown on her face.
"So how did you met Lady Acier?" Asta asked whilst feeling disappointed.
"It was roughly during the time I was training to be the next wielder Shinkiro..." Sayo began to explain.
Flashback (start)
"Hmmmm, it looks good." A teenage Sayo muttered as she glance down at the soup that she is making.
"Let's see about the taste though." Sayo thought as she picked up a spoon and scoop some of the liquid out the pot and into her mouth.
"Hay." A voice suddenly said, causing the teenage witch to jump in fright and started to gag.
"Hah, hak!" Sayo gagged as the liquid burned her mouth.
"Here." The voice said and a glass of water appeared in front of Sayo's vision who took it and drank the water, cooling her mouth.
The teenage witch then glanced to the person who greeted her.
"Hi, Sayo!" Ritchita greeted with a smile on her face.
"What the hell, Richita?! I almost burned my mouth!" Sayo shouted as she grabbed the ash-white hair woman and shook her violently.
"S-sorry!" Ritchita apologized as swirls started to appear in her eyes.
Sayo stopped shaking Richita before taking a deep breath and spoke.
"How did you get...in...?" Sayo began to ask, but her voice trailed off as she realized that there is another person in a room, a female possessing silver hair, which is done in a pony-tail, and purple eyes. She is wearing noble-like clothes, which are seemingly designed for the outside environment.
"Hi." The silver hair woman greeted in an awkward tone of voice whilst standing next to an open window.
"Who's she?" Sayo asked as she returned her attention back onto Richita.
"This is Acier Silva. I'm giving her a tour of Penyihir Mountain and decided to drop by." Richita explained with a wide smile on her face.
"Silva?" Sayo asked as she look at Acier.
"That's correct. I am Acier Silva of the Clover Kingdom's royal house of Silva." Acier introduced herself.
"..." Sayo became silent as she once again turned her attention back onto Richita.
"Please don't tell me that you kidnapped her?" Sayo asked in a blank tone of voice.
"No! I did not kidnap her!" Richita shouted in response as she broke free of Sayo's grip and appeared next to Acier.
"Right?!" Richita asked in a slight pleading tone of voice.
"This is correct. I told my family that I was visiting a friend of mine." Acier explained with a sheepish smile on her face.
"I see..." Sayo said, yet not fully convinced, which in turn cause Richita to start sweating.
"So, I suppose that you are well informed about...all of this?" Sayo asked, deciding to change the subject.
"Yes. Richita told me about Wonder World and the purpose of the Sword of Logos, along with some help from her parents." Acier responded, making Sayo nod her head slightly.
"Richita also told me that you are training to become the next guardian of the Penyihir Mountains, Kamen Rider Kris." Acier said, becoming curious.
"Yes. That is correct..." Sayo responded, wondering how much Richita told Acier about her.
"How's that going?" Richita asked, becoming curious herself.
"It's...going well, although the trials that will be involved sound difficult." Sayo admitted with a slight tired expression on her face as she remember the descriptions of the trials involved that one must go through in order to become the wielder of Shinkiro.
"Well, I hope that you succeed. Richita seemed excited about you becoming Kamen Rider Kris." Acier commented, causing Sayo to become wide eyed.
"Acier! Don't tell her that!" Richita exclaimed, whining slightly.
Flashback (end)
"And after that, we became friends and spent time together until..." Sayo explained her story before trailing off, knowing where the story is heading.
"Did...did you became slightly jealous towards Acier?" Asta asked, causing Sayo to blink her eyes in confusion.
"Jealous?" Sayo asked, tilting her head to the side slightly.
"Yeah. In that photo, you seemed annoyed at how close Mum and Acier were standing." Asta pointed out, making Sayo make a "Ah" sound.
"W-well. Maybe I became jealous at how Richita and Acier bonded so well..." Sayo explained, a small blush appearing on her face.
This cause Asta to blink his eyes before a thought appeared in his head.
Did Aunt have f-" Asta began to thought, but was cut off as loud knocking can be heard from the door.
Sayo stood up quickly and quickly made her way towards the door and opened it, revealing…...Olivia.
"What are you doing here?!" Sayo asked in a shock tone of voice, staring at the chief witch just as Asta, who was standing next to the wielder of Shinkiro, started to back away.
"I just received a message from Ernal, the town is getting attacked." Olivia replied, causing both Holy Sword wielders to widen their eyes.
"You two are coming with me." Olivia explained whilst having an aura of seriousness surrounding her.
"So who's attacking the Ernal?" Asta asked as he, Sayo, Blanc and Olivia hurried down the mountain path.
"The only piece of information that I give you is that it's a humanoid-looking monster that possess a mouth-like appendage." Olivia responded, causing both Asta and Sayo to glance at each other, knowing what is going through each others head.
"Do you two know the attacker?" Olivia asked, noticing the glances.
"Yes. A few days ago, me, Asta and two other Holy Sword wielders fought a Megid monster who is able to summon a mouth-like appendage." Sayo responded, making Olivia widen her eyes.
"But we defeated that Megid, right?" Asta asked, making Sayo nod her head.
"Yes, but it would seem that the Alter-Ride book for that Megid was retrieved somehow." Sayo responded, gaining a frown on her face.
"So a Megid have appeared close to the Penyihir mountains…." Olivia muttered, gaining a thought in her head.
"Do you think that we should contact Bahadur and Mr Yuri?" Asta asked, making Sayo nod her head.
"Yes, we ought to. But it will be a while until they arrive." The wielder of Shinkiro explained, causing a worrying expression to appear on Asta's face.
"Well, we just have to keep the Megid busy until your allies arrive." Olivia said, making both Holy Sword wielders nod their heads in response.
Before long, the four of them have arrived at Erven and they heard the sound of batting.
"It looks like your guess is right. Interesting, it certainly producing a lot of Mana." Olivia commented as she and the other three stared at the Megid known as Charybdis fighting against some witches that are tasked with protecting Erven.
"I order the witches to step back so that you two, plus the others, can have some room." Olivia explained, making both Asta and Sayo to nod their heads in response before retrieving their Seiken/Illusional Sword-Drivers.
"Asta." Sayo spoke, stopping the ash-white hair teen as he held "Dragonic Knight".
"Yes, Aunt?" Asta asked, yet feeling eager to start fighting Charybdis and freeing the trapped human.
"I'm going to something that probably haven't seen before….." Sayo began to say whilst placing all three of her white-boarded Wonder-Ride books into the Illusional Sword-Driver.
"Is Aunt going to perform a Wonder Combo?" Asta thought, but became unsure from what Sayo just said.
With three Wonder-Ride books set, Sayo unsheathed Shinkiro.
Unsheathe the Illusions!
Three powers synchronise!
Unsheathe the Wonder Synchro!
Wonder Rider!
Trickster of trinity of foxes!
When three books are connected, a new power is unleashed!
The voice announced just as Sayo transformed into her full "Wonder combo" form.
"….Isn't that just a full Wonder Combo form?" Asta asked in a confused tone of voice.
"Not exactly. What you are seeing is called a "Wonder Synchro". It follows the same principles as a Wonder Combo form, but it uses Wonder-Ride books that all share the same theme as each other." Olivia explained, making Asta gained a starry expression on his face.
"So cool!" The ash-white hair teen said in an excited tone of voice.
Olivia blinked her eyes slightly before giggling slightly.
However, Kris's Wonder Synchro form announcement caught everyone's attention.
"Well, time to get to it." Kris commented before charging forwards before Charybdis could have the chance to attack first.
Charybdis fired Mana-Bullets at the quickly approaching swords-woman of mirages who jumped over the attacks, letting them fly past her.
Landing on the ground in a crouching position, Kris launched herself at a diagonal, striking Charybdis with the tip of Shinkiro before immediately backing away, knowing that she can't be too close to Charybdis unless she wants to be eaten.
"What are you standing there for? You're not going to let your aunt do all of the fighting?" Olivia asked, giving the swordsman of flames a questioning look.
"Huh? Oh right!" Asta said, snapping out of his thoughts before dashing forwards whilst transforming into his Dragonic Form.
"Now just to remember not to get eaten again." Saber thought whilst opening the mouth piece of Dragonic Booster and placing "Brave Dragon" into the open slot.
One Reading!
Dragonic Booster announced before the swordsman of flames pressed the side button with his thumb.
Flame Spicy!
Dragonic Booster announced again and Saber punched forwards, firing a stream of flames towards Charybdis.
"Whoa!" Kris exclaimed in a shock tone of voice, not expecting the "Flame Spicy" attack.
Unfortunately, Charybdis used it's mouth-like appendage to swallow the attack.
However, Saber used the distraction to dash forwards and attack the white-skinned Megid with Rekka.
"Fire Creation Magic: Metallic Dragon's Scales!" Saber announced before punching Charybdis with a scale-covered fist, causing Charybdis to stagger back.
"…..Maybe I shouldn't have punched too hard…." Saber muttered, gaining a slightly guilty expression underneath his helmet.
"Saber…." Kris spoke, causing the swordsman of flames to glance over to the swords-woman of illusions and flinch slightly, gaining the feeling that Kris is giving him and frown.
"I would appreciate if you tell me to dodge or something before lunching an attack like that." Kris said in a stern tone of voice.
"Sorry…." Saber responded in a sheepish tone of voice.
It was at that moment that the swordsman of flames gained a feeling, making Saber turn his head back around and saw Charybdis opening it's mouth-like appendage.
"Can he even strike at that distance though?" Both Saber and Kris thought at the same time, tilting their heads to the side in unison.
It was at that moment that a huge gust of wind came flying out of the mouth-like appendage.
"Fire Creation Magic: Metallic Dragon's shield!" Saber announced quickly, conjuring a shield in front of him which Kris got behind.
Even though the two got pushed back, an impact is felt, signifying that physical attacks are included.
Charybdis then summoned an army of giant ants.
"W-what the?!" One of witches exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.
"Are those…." Saber thought, faintly remembering how Blades fought giants during their first mission together with Noelle.
The thought of Blades and Noelle caused Saber to flinch slightly.
Charybdis made a gesture with one of his hands, causing the giant ants to move forwards.
"Mirage Magic: Illusional Fox's Jaw." Kris announced, creating a few fox faces which bit down on a few of the approaching giant ants, making them flinch in pain.
"Fire Creation Magic: Metallic Dragon's Fangs." Saber announced, creating fire-shaped daggers which were sent sent flying forwards, striking some of the giant ants as well.
"This is a problem." Kris thought as she glanced behind her and saw Olivia and the other witches attempting contain the ants within the square that they are fighting in.
"Saber! Summon Brave Dragon!" Kris called, she and the swordsman of flames having been separated, before pressing all three of her Wonder-Ride books, thus summoning three white mechanical foxes.
"Got it!" Saber responded before pressing the open cover of "Dragonic Knight" three times, summoning the red mechanical dragon clad in Mana-formed armor.
"Just to make sure." Saber thought before summoning Storm Eagle and Saiyu Journey, both of them being clad in silver coloured Mana-form armor as well.
With Kris, the swords-woman of mirages, she sensed movement from the conner of her vision, causing her to turned around to see a giant ant staring down at her.
Kris raised Shinkiro as a means of defending herself, but wasn't needed as a bright light appeared above the two.
"Huh?" Kris said in a confused tone of voice just as Shamshir emerged from the light.
"Ri-Whoa!?" Shamshir exclaimed in a shock tone of voice as he managed to point the blade of Endless Dash downwards, successfully in managing to stab the giant ant.
"Glad to see that you made it." Kris commented in a relieved tone of voice.
"What is this?!" Shamshir asked as he got off the giant ant.
"That white-skinned Megid summoned a horde of ants." Kris responded before glancing around.
"Where's Saikou?" the swords-woman of illusions asked, attempting to spot a shadow figure who may or not be wearing a multi-coloured armor.
It didn't took Kriss long to find Saikou, in his X-Swordsman form, guarding Ekrixi.
"Why is Sir Ekrixi here?!" Kris exclaimed with wide eyes underneath her helmet.
"I'm not entirely sure, but he seemed concerned about the Megid being close to the home of the witches. We transformed beforehand so that we can get into the action, not land right it!" Shamshir responded, saying the last part in an exasperating tone of voice.
Kris gained a frown underneath her helmet, she having a good idea.
"But lets focus on getting rid of these ants first." The swordsman of sand pointed out, making Kris nod her head in response.
"This is something that I didn't expect." Saikou muttered as he swing the sword of light, keeping a few of the giant ants at bay.
"Indeed." Ekrixi said in agreement as he covered himself in Mana-Skin whilst becoming annoyed that he didn't decided to bring a sword with him.
"Ekrixi! It's been a while!" A voice spoke, causing the once wielder of Rekka to turn his head towards the source of the voice to see Olivia with a small grin on her face.
"Yes it has….although I wouldn't have like to meet like this." Ekrixi commented, making Olivia nod her head in agreement before firing a Mana-Bullet, focusing on defending the previous wielder of Rekka.
With Saikou, the swordsman of light glanced around, attempting to see past the mass of ants and spot Charybdis.
It didn't took long for the swordsman of light to spot the white-skinned Megid, currently fighting Kris.
"I'm joining Kris in fighting the white-skinned Megid." Saikou told the other two before opening his Grimoire.
"Shadow Magic: Sacred Sword's Shadow Travel." Saikou announced before transforming into a mass of shadow, which is tinted with different colours, before moving past the giant ants.
With Kris, the swords-woman of mirages has become startled at the fact that Charybdis has managed to summoned a large sword in it's hands.
"Is the sword the Megid's own or does it belong to another?" Kris thought, becoming curious as she raise Shinkiro just in time to block a sword attack from Charybdis.
However, the impact from behind the attack caused Kris to stumble back.
"Wasn't expecting tha-!" Kris began to say but was interrupted as Charybdis swing it's sword again, but this time covering the blade with Mana.
Covering her legs with Mana-Skin, Kris jumped backwards, through a backwards flip, which resulted in the ground that she once standing to gain cracks, and when she landed on the ground, her Grimoire began to glow.
"Mirage Magic: Illusional Fox's Jaws." Kris announced, creating a fox's face with it's mouth opened which is then sent flying.
Unfortunately, Charybdis easily destroyed Kris's spell.
However, Kris used the distraction to get closer to the white-skinned Megid, the blade of Shinkiro glowing.
When Kris got close, the swords-woman of illusions struck Charybdis on the stomach and pressed.
However, Kris sensed that something is wrong.
"What/Help…..us….." A female voice interrupted Kris's thoughts, making the swords-woman of mirages to widen her eyes.
It was at this moment that Charybdis swing her sword again in a downward motion.
Unfortunately, before the white-skinned Megid's sword could strike Kris again, a mass of shadow past over her, taking the swords-woman of mirages with him.
"You okay?" Saikou asked as he and Kris returned to their normal masses.
"Y-yeah." Kris asked whilst feeling startled at suddenly turning into a mass of shadow some distance away.
"Listen. I think there's two people hosting that Megid." Kris said, causing Saikou to widen his eyes underneath his helmet.
"I did have thoughts that it was a possibility, but I didn't thought that it would be true…." Saikou muttered, frowning underneath his helmet.
"Listen I don't think th-" Saikou began to say, but is interrupted as Charybdis lunged towards them sword at the ready.
The two Kamen Riders moved in opposite directions to avoid getting hit, but Charybdis focused her attention onto Saikou and with a surprising burst of speed, appeared in front of the swordsman of light.
"What!?" Saikou exclaimed in a shock tone of voice, his eyes widening underneath his helmet.
The white-skinned Megid struck Saikou with her sword in the stomach, causing him to crash onto the floor.
"Saikou!" Kris called in am alarmed tone of voice.
"I'm…..fine. It's been a long time since I felt pain like this." Saikou responded, a small grin appearing underneath his helmet.
"Huh?" Kris said, becoming confused.
The swords-woman of mirages shook her head before dashing forwards attempting to free the two girls again.
Luckily, Kris managed to strike Charybdis in the stomach, letting the Mana covering Shinkiro flow through the white-skinned Megid.
"I hope that this works." Saikou muttered before jumping up off the ground with the blade belonging to the sword of light glowing.
Kris's eyes widened when Saikou struck Charybdis as well and with a bright light of two mixed colours, two female emerged from the white-skinned Megid's body.
"Those two-!" Kris thought, recognizing the two witches.
Luckily, the swords-woman of mirages was quick enough to catch the two witches before they could hit the ground whilst Saikou push Charybdis away from them.
"Lets try this." Saikou commented as he press the button on the belt buckle two times.
Get Moving Saikou!
Ultimate Leg!
Full colour goes to leg!
The voice announced just as the colorful armor rearranged itself, focusing on Saikou Shadow's leg.
As Charybdis attempted to regain it's balance, Saikou Shadow dashed forwards and deliver a few powerful kicks with it's right leg.
The impact caused Charybdis to be sent crashing onto the floor.
"Shall we finish this?" Saikou asked, his voice coming from the face piece which is located on Saikou Shadow's right leg, just as Kris appeared beside him.
"Yes." The swords-woman of illusions responded before sheathing Shinkiro into the Illusional Sword-Driver and pressing the trigger whilst Saikou closed the cover of "X-Swordsman".
Vanishing Page/Finish Reading!
The two voices announced at the same time before Kris pressed the trigger again whilst Saikou Shadow pressed the button on the belt buckle three times.
Volume 3 Strike: M-M-Mirage/The Most Wonderful!
The two voice voices announced at the same time with energy starting to gather around the two Kamen Riders before Saikou Shadow jumped into the air whilst Kris got into a crouching position.
"Trinity Fox Burst/X-Sword Break!" The two Kamen Riders announced at the same time just as Saikou Shadow began a kicking motion whilst Kris dashed forwards with three ghostly image of foxes dancing around her.
The two attacks struck Charybdis, causing an explosion to occur.
"Hmph! Another victor to us." Saikou's voice spoke from the face piece. Kris nodded her head in agreement, yet have a trouble expression on her face.
"And like before, a failure." Zoous commented as he and Liegel stared at Storious who is glancing down at at a wooden hand that has stopped writing when Charybdis got destroyed.
"You've wasted a Megid that you claimed was supposed to be special." Liegel said in annoyed tone of voice.
"No quite. Despite the Megid's destruction, a new Alter-Ride book is born." Storious responded in a calm tone of voice just as the book in front of him began to glow before transforming into a large Alter-Ride book.
"Plus I can always re-summon the Megid. That what makes it so special. And anyway…." Storious began to say whilst picking up the newly created Alter-Ride book.
"Charybdis has already done it's duty, but I didn't expect for Saber to already be at the homeland of the witches when Charybdis attack though." Storious commented, a smirk appearing on his face.
And there we have it, Asta and Sayo meeting the chief of Wonder World witches, at those that live in the mountains, before Sayo tell Asta how she met Richita and Acier. Sayo also revealed her Wonder-Combo, known as a Wonder Synchro in this case. So now everyone is gathered at the Penyihir mountains, I wonder what will happen now?
In Gotchard:
1) Continuing with the fight, Gotchard uses (7)Gold-Dash and (3)Mechanichani to transform into his bulky Goldmechanichor form and defeat the Jungle Malgam, freeing (9)Jungle-Jan. Doing some research, Mr Mintato figured out the identity of the second convict/Malgam, Tsurugi Himeno, the older brother of Hijiri Himeno, the two of them currently speaking to each other until Tsurugi transformed into the Battery Malgam and attempted to burn Hijiri until Gotchard appeared. Using his Hiikesurose form, Gotchard managed to stop the spreading fire and defeat the Battery Malgam.
2) However, before Gotchard could properly seal (1)Raidenji, The Chemy got absorbed into Hijiri who them attempted to kill Tsurugi, but was protected by the others until Gotchard transformed back into his Goldmechanichor form and continued the fight. With Ryo's help, they managed to calm the Battery Malgam down so that Gotchard is able to separate (1)Raidenji from Hijiri. With Clotho, she was successful in capturing (10)UFO.
An Image of Gotchard first power-up form as been shown, yet unnamed, but he will be using a weapon called the X-Gotchalibur which has two forms, a sword and an attachment piece for the Gotchard-Driver. The form is based around the level 10 Chemy Cards, but the form seems to focus on (10)BeetleX, (10)Exceed-Fighter, (10)Lixon, (10)X-Fortress and (10)Xeggdrasil with the use of the X-Assemble Chemy Card. I'm not sure why only five level 10 Chemies are being used, but this could potentially lead to second power-up form based on the other 5 level 10 Chemies to appear. With the form itself, I would say it looks cool, but not one of the best power-up forms that we've seen in the past.
Please review and until next time.
Farhan Nugraha:
1) Everyone watching will be like "o_o" as they watch Asta getting trained/chased by Mereoleone.
2) Who is Noelle referring to?
3) Yuri may not have personally met Acier in the past, simply observing her interactions with the Sword of Logos, but Acier's soul could somehow pass though Avalon, much to his confusion.
