Primitive Dragon Vs Magic Knights
Everyone's eyes widened as they saw Rekka's blade heading straight towards Mimosa's neck whose eyes have widened in shock.
Luckily, someone got in front of Mimosa and blocked the attack.
"Asta! What is wrong with you?" Espada said as she kept a firm grip of Ikazuchi whilst Mimosa immediately backed away.
Saber simply growled in response before raising one of his legs and kicking the swords-woman of lighting, making her stumble back whilst loosing her balance.
The swordsman of flames(?) lunged forwards and prepared to strike Espada, but the blade of Rekka was blocked by Argent-Couronne.
"Why are you attacking us!? We're your friends!" Joyeues shouted as she pushed Saber back, but was met with resistance.
However, the swords-woman of steel received aid in the form of Yuno casting a wind-based spell, pushing Saber away whilst not hitting Joyeues before letting the spell trap him.
"I don't think Asta is in control. Do you remember what Storious said, Asta is the host of Primitive Dragon." Yuno pointed out whilst keeping his eyes locked on Saber.
"You're saying that Primitive Dragon is in "control"." Espada commented as she stand next to her fellow Magic Knights.
This cause Yuno to nod his head in response.
"Does Vice-Captain Ryo knows about Asta's identity as the host of Primitive Dragon? And if so, is this why he didn't said anything?" Joyeues thought, tightening her grip on Argent-Couronne.
"So he basically in the same situation when the Magic Knight got possessed by the souls of the deceased elves." Blades commented, having returned to his human form and making sure that Fiona is far away as possible.
"It seems like it. But the rage of Primitive Dragon seems natural…." Espada said, comparing the malice that she felt from the elves to Primitive Dragon.
"What should we do? Our orders was to be on the defence whilst letting the other branches of the Sword of Logos do the attacking." Mimosa pointed out whilst still feeling shaky.
Before anyone can respond, Yuno's wind-made prison lost it's shape before disappearing, revealing a perfectly fine Saber.
"So the power of a Spirit isn't strong enough to trap this form of Saber." Yuno thought, frowning as he sense the amount of chaotic Mana that the swordsman of flames(?) possess.
The swordsman of flames(?) stared at his fellow(?) Magic Knights, gaining an ominous aura around him, making everyone nervous and on edge.
Luckily(?), Saber began to growl in aggressive manner before lunging forwards, dark blue flames roaring into life covering the blade of Rekka.
"Water Creation Magic: Water Lion's Barrier." Blades announced, creating the lion-shaped shield whilst everyone moved to the sides, apart from Mimosa who moved back.
With Blades's water-made shield, it quickly got destroyed.
Luckily, Blades was on the move just before the water-made shield was completely destroyed and fired two water-based bullets from his shoulder cannons, both of them successfully hitting the swordsman of flames(?).
However, the attacks didn't seemed to do any damage at all.
The swordsman of water became slightly worried as Saber quickly closed the distance between them.
"Plant Creation Magic: Magic Cannon Flower." Mimosa announced quickly before firing a beam of light from her magically-created flower.
The beam of light struck Saber, halting his advance.
"Mimosa! We're not trying to kill Saber!" Blades exclaimed in an alarmed tone of voice.
"I-I'm sorry!" Mimosa responded in a high pitch tone of voice.
Saber observe the two before preparing to approach them.
"Lighting Creation Magic: Lighting Genie's Tri-Prison." A voice announced, causing a lighting-made triangle to appear around Saber and trapping him.
The swordsman of flames(?) glanced over his shoulder and saw Espada with her open Grimoire.
This cause Saber to snarl at the swords-woman of lighting, making her startle.
"Just what are you doing to Asta?" Espada thought, becoming angry towards Primitive Dragon.
Discharging some chaotic Mana, Saber managed to break free of Espada's spell before focusing his attention onto the swords-woman of lighting.
However, before Saber can do anything, Joyeues started to attack the swordsman of flames(?) and when Saber retaliated with Rekka, the swords-woman of steel used the mobility of her Valkyrie's Legacy form to avoid getting struck.
"Would removing that Wonder-Ride book release Primitive Dragon's hold on Asta?" Joyeues thought as she glanced down at the "Primitive Dragon" Wonder-Ride book.
However, this resulted in the swords-woman of steel making a misjudgment with her movements, allowing Saber a clear shot of striking her with Rekka.
Joyeues's eyes widened underneath her helmet, but she was suddenly yanked away.
"You got distracted, didn't you?" Yuno commented as he back away from Saber, causing a small scowl to appear underneath Joyeues's helmet.
"Says the person who haven't made any further moves yet." Joyeues responded whilst faintly remembering how they were in a similar position during their first match of the Royal Knight tournament.
"I was simply waiting for a good moment to cast a spell." Yuno responded calmly.
This cause Joyeues to become annoyed for a few seconds before calming herself down.
"Anyway. I think that if we remove the Wonder-Ride book from Asta's Seiken Sword-Driver, then we may be able to release him from Primitive Dragon's control." Joyeues explained, making the Golden Dawn wind Mage nod his head slightly.
"Incoming you two!" Mimosa shouted, causing Yuno and Joyeues to look up to see Saber chasing after them.
"Wind Spirit Magic: Spirit's Hushed Dance." Yuno announced just as Saber began to swing Rekka.
"Is Primitive Dragon using Mana-Zone?!" Yuno thought, becoming surprise at the reaction timing that Saber is throwing his sword attacks.
The Golden Dawn wind Mage created "Spirit of Zephyr" in his free hand and swing it and managed to strike Saber's sword arm, which leads to the swordsman of flames(?) releasing his grip on Rekka.
"Take Rekka!" Yuno shouted as he released Joyeues.
"Don't tell me, a royal, what to do!" Joyeues responded in annoyed tone of voice, but did what Yuno said, heading towards the fallen sword of flames and snatched it up before Saber could reclaim it.
As the swords-woman of steel landed on the ground and looked back at the swordsman of flames(?), Joyeues became tense from the stare that Saber is giving her.
"Asta!" Yuno called, causing the swordsman of flames(?) to turn his attention towards the Golden Dawn wind Mage.
"Are you seriously going to let that beast take control over you?" Yuno questioned, a small smirk appearing on his face.
"…" Saber simply stared Yuno in silence.
"Please say something, Saber." Mimosa muttered, becoming nervous.
Saber remained silent for a few seconds until dark blue flames appeared around his arms which take on the shape of dragon-like claws.
"Is he trying to mimic a spell?" Everyone thought, their eyes widening.
"Ast-!" Yuno began to say, but was cut off as Saber lunged towards him, newly gained claws at the ready.
Yuno quickly raised his sword and blocked the first clawed-gauntlet that the swordsman of flames(?) throw at him.
"Yuno! The blade!" The voice of Bell shouted in Yuno's head as she and the Golden Dawn wind Mage noticed something with the blade of "Spirit of Zephyr".
Saber then swing his second clawed-gauntlet in an upwards motion, causing Yuno's sword to shatter.
The Golden Dawn wind Mage began to make some space between him and Saber.
However, the swordsman of flames(?) didn't gave Yuno the chance of breathing space as he lunged forwards, the two clawed-gauntlets already in motion.
It was only thanks to the use of Mana-Skin that protected Yuno from Saber's onslaught, but even that has it's limits.
"Gah!" Yuno exclaimed as one of Saber's clawed-gauntlets managed to break through the Mana-Skin.
This cause everyone to gasp in shock.
"Yuno!" Mimosa exclaimed in horror as Saber kicked Yuno in the stomach, finally "giving" the Golden Dawn wind Mage some breathing room.
Not wasting a minute, the pages of Yuno's Grimoire began to turn before stopping.
"Wind Spirit Magic+Mana-Zone: Spirit Storm." Yuno announced, preparing an attack from behind Saber.
However, the Golden Dawn wind faltered slightly before he could fired his spell.
"Yuno?! What's wrong?!" Bell shouted, becoming alarmed.
"I...can't..." Yuno responded, gritting his teeth slightly.
Normally, Yuno would have fired his attack, but for some reason, he couldn't, not whilst Asta is being controlled by a berserk-driven dragon.
This hesitation resulted in the Golden Dawn wind Mage getting struck by Saber's claws before getting kicked in the stomach, sending him crashing onto the ground.
"Yuno!" Mimosa exclaimed before starting to run towards the fallen Golden Dawn wind Mage.
"Plant Healing Magic: Princess-Healing Flower Robe." Mimosa announced with an open Grimoire, creating her flowery dress as soon as she reached Yuno.
This cause everyone to become alarmed whilst Saber stared at her.
"Why are you doing this to Asta, Primitive Dragon?!" Mimosa asked as she looked up from her work.
The only response from the swordsman of flames(?) was growling before lunging forwards, clawed-gauntlets at the ready.
"No!" Joyeues exclaimed as she prepared to move forwards.
However, there was no need as someone appeared next to the two Golden Dawn Magic Knights and took them away before Saber could attack them.
"Man! That was close!" Bahadur exclaimed in a high-pitch tone of voice.
"Huh?!" Mimosa said with a stunned expression on her face.
"You're okay?" The dark skin asked, glancing at Mimosa.
"Y-yes. I'm f-fine." Mimosa responded, beginning to calm down from almost getting attacked, again.
This cause Bahadur to nod his head before turning attention towards Saber who has become weary of the new person.
The wielder of Endless Dash slowly stood up.
"Asta. You recognize me, right? You're cousin, Bahadur Kasper." Bahadur said as he took a step forwards.
"Cousin?!" Everyone thought, becoming shock.
Saber began to growl as Bahadur slowly approach the swordsman of flames(?).
"I not going to hurt you, I'm just going to remove the "Primitive Dragon" Wonder-Ride and this will all be over." Bahadur explained, doing his best not to become threatening.
"Why are you acting as if Saber is a normal aggressive animal and not a raging beast filled with Mana!" Joyeues exclaimed, a part of her becoming worried for the wielder of Endless Dash.
As Bahadur got closer to Saber, Mimosa perked up slightly.
"Bahadur isn't the only new person who's here!" Mimosa thought as she sense new Mana signals, a part of her becoming relieved that there is a form safety, hopefully, for Bahadur who is not showing any form of aggressiveness.
However, this simple act was noticed by Saber, altering the swordsman of flames(?), causing him to start growling aggressively.
"Darn it!" Bahadur shouted in his head before lunging forwards, aiming for Saber's Seiken Sword-Driver before the swordsman of flames(?) can have the chance to move.
However, Saber kicked Bahadur, causing him to stumble back.
"Card Magic: The Hanged Man." A voice announced and chains appeared from somewhere and wrapped around Saber, keeping him in place.
"Stupid girl, if she didn't moved, then would have return Asta back to normal." A voice muttered in an annoyed tone of voice, causing everyone to turn their heads and saw Takdir holding the other ends of the chain.
"Something like this would have happen, Bahadur was taken a big risk of not showing any form of aggressiveness towards a dragon who can lash out at any moment." Olivia responded, the chief witch currently standing next to the fused witch.
"….." Takdir didn't say anything, but an annoyed expressive has appeared on her face.
"S-stupid girl?" Mimosa thought, becoming depressed which cause her healing magic to waver.
"Focus on the healing, Vermillion." Bahadur pointed out, causing Mimosa to blink her eyes a few times before realizing what is happening.
"R-right. Thank you." Mimosa said before returning her attention onto healing Yuno.
"I guess that I have to fight after all." Bahadur commented in a low tone of voice before taking Endless Dash and "Feline Cat".
"Is he…?!" Everyone thought, becoming shock as they watched Bahadur transforming into Shamshir.
"I'm sorry to do this, but this all in order to return you to normal" Shamshir explained as he point Endless Dash towards the swordsman of flames(?).
Saber started to become agitated as he attempted to break free from Takdir's chains.
"W-wow! Hold still will yo-Aah!" Takdir exclaimed as she got pulled off her feet, caused by Saber having jerked his body roughly and turn around slightly.
Takdir's eyes widened as she saw Saber getting a clawed-gauntlet at the ready.
However, the fused witch was saved from being "scratched" by the clawed gauntlet when Shamshir swing Endless Dash, striking Saber on the arm.
This cause the swordsman of flames(?) to return his attention back onto the swordsman of sand and swing the other clawed-gauntlet at him.
Luckily, Shamshir repositioned Endless Dash to block the attack.
It was at that moment that Takdir kicked Saber on the side, with the aid of Mana-Skin, sending the swordsman of flames(?) to be sent stumbling to the side.
However, Saber managed to regain his balance and glared at Takdir.
"Don't give me that look, I'm trying to help you!" Takdir said in an annoyed tone of voice.
Saber seemingly started to make a inhaling sound as he reared his head back
"Eh?" Takdir said, becoming confused just before the fanged-mouth piece of Saber's helmet began to glow.
"Look out!" Shamshir exclaimed, before rolling to the side, somehow knowing what is about to happen, just as Saber brough his head down and released a blast of dark blue flames.
"Whoa!" Takdir exclaimed as she dived to the side whilst grabbing the chain, leading to Saber loosing his balance.
Taking the opportunity, Shamshir tried his second attempt of grabbing the "Primitive Dragon" Wonder-Ride book.
However, a light suddenly erupted from the "Primitive Dragon" Wonder-Ride book and when the light died down, the Clover Kingdom's Magic Knight's eyes widened as they stare at the primitive-state Brave Dragon.
"Its been effected by the chaotic Mana?!" Mimosa thought, horror filling her eyes.
With the primitive-state Brave Dragon, it growled at the swordsman of sand before opening it's mouth where a small, yet bright, light appeared.
Knowing what is about to happen, Shamshir quickly move back, avoiding a blast of dark blue flames.
As this was happening, Saber's skeletal tail started to emerge from his back.
"Hm?" Takdir said as she notice the skeletal tail.
Saber's new tail suddenly moved, striking the fused witch in the stomach.
"Gah!" Takdir exclaimed as her grip on the chains lessened, allowing Saber some freedom.
Saber's tail moved again, hitting Takdir a second time, sending her flying off her feet.
The fused witch would have hit the ground, but that was prevented as someone caught her.
"You okay?" A voice spoke, causing Takdir to look up and saw that the person who caught her is Blades.
"….I'm fine." Takdir responded after a few seconds of silence, and even then it was in a disgruntled tone of voice.
"What did I do?" Blades thought, becoming confused.
"Incoming you two!" Espada called, causing the swordsman of water and the fused witch to look up to see Saber approaching them.
"Origami Creation Magic: Ice Vellamental." Olivia announced, causing a white piece of paper to appear which started to fold until taking on the shape of a polar-bear.
"Paper?!" The Magic Knights thought, becoming confused at the type of magic.
"Go!" Olivia ordered, causing Ice Vellamental to take a deep breath before releasing an icy breath.
The icy breath struck Saber's legs, which quickly turned into ice.
"Is that going to hold him?" Espada thought, remembering what happened with Liegel earlier.
Ice Vellamental was immediately on the move, swinging a papered-claw.
However, Saber was able to break himself free, using a clawed gauntlet to block the incoming attacked.
"Maybe I can pull a sneak attack now that Saber's attention is focused on that paper polar bear." Joyeues thought as she prepare to attack with two swords, since she still possess Rekka.
"Don't think about attacking." Olivia said, causing the swords-woman of steel to stop.
"What do you mean by that?" Joyeues asked, gaining a frown underneath her helmet.
"You've been giving the order of being on the defence….plus your just going to agitate Primitive Dragon even further." Olivia explained in a calm tone of voice.
"But we're Asta's friends!" Espada objected, becoming angry.
"…..How did we ended up this situation in the first place? Who "aided" in maturing the negative emotions within Asta to make him the ideal host for Primitive Dragon?" Olivia questioned in a rhetorical tone of voice.
"..." Everyone became silent as they realize what the chief witch is implying.
"Now you understand?" Olivia asked before returning his attention towards the battle.
Back with the swordsman of sand, Shamshir is having a difficult time dealing with the primitive-state Brave Dragon.
Even though he has summoned Feline Cat, the gold mechanical cat itself is having a difficult time holding the red mechanical dragon down.
"There's no way I can fight Brave Dragon head-on, so I just to focus on keeping him distracted until it returns to it's Wonder-Ride book." Shamshir thought just as the pages of his Grimoire began to turn before stopping.
"Sand Trap Magic: Sand Cat's Sand-Storm." Shamshir announced, sending a magic circle forwards and noticing the incoming magic circle, Feline Cat jumped onto the primitive-state Brave Dragon's head and forced it down, letting the head touched the magic circle where a sand-storm began to emerge.
The primitive-state Brave Dragon roared at it's vision got blurred by the sand.
Seemingly not bothered by the sand-storm, Feline Cat started to scratch the primitive-state Brave Dragon, causing the red mechanical dragon to growl angrily before starting to shake it's head, attempting to shake the gold mechanical off it.
Luckily, Feline Cat managed to keep a firm grip on the Primitive-state Brave Dragon.
Trying a different method, the primitive-state Brave Dragon opened it's mouth where a small, yet bright light started to appear.
"Don't tell me..." Shamshir thought as he noticed the glow from within the sand-storm.
"Sand Trap Magic: Sand Cat's Wall." The swordsman of the sand announced, creating multiple magic circles around the sand-storm and after a few seconds, fireballs started to came flying out of the sand-storm in a chaotic-manner.
Fortunately, the smaller fireballs struck struck the magic circles where the rebounded, heading straight back into the sand-storm, whilst the larger fireballs destroy the magic circles and damage the surrounding area, where Feline Cat jumped out of it...before being followed by an angry roar.
"I wonder how much damage that did..." Shamshir thought, yet starting to become worried that he may have anger the primitive-state Brave Dragon even more.
The red mechanical dragon managed to escape the sand-storm and, spotting the swordsman of the sand, began to glare at him.
"Yep. it's mad." Shamshir thought before starting run as the primitive-state Brave Dragon began to chase after him.
"Sand Trap Magic: Sand Cat's Lances." Shamshir announced, creating magic circles where spikes pierced out of them, the swordsman of sand hoping to slow down the primitive-state Brave Dragon.
Back with the fight against the swordsman of flames(?), Ice Vellamental is loosing its form due to the multiple cuts that its been receiving from Saber's clawed-gauntlets.
"We need to put Saber out of commission now!" Olivia thought as the pages of her Grimoire began to turn before stopping.
"Origami Magic: Hammer." The chief witch announced, creating a piece of paper which folded into the shape of a hammer.
Takdir! Keep a firm grip on those chains!" Olivia instructed, making the fused witch, who has been using the spell as before, to nod her head whilst Ice Vellamental crouched down and grabbed Saber, keeping a firm grip on the swordsman of flames(?).
Olivia then ran forwards.
"I'm sorry about this, Asta." Olivia thought as she coat the hammer with Mana-Skin and jumped into the air.
Saber, who has been attempted to break free from the bear-hug and the chains, looked up and saw the incoming chief witch.
Saber's skeletal tail suddenly moved, piercing Ice Vellamental, to which the skeletal tail further ripped through, before moving again and managed to grab Olivia.
The swordsman of flames then throw the chief witch towards Takdir, sending the both of them flying off their feet.
Saber then properly freed himself before turning his attention towards the three Sword of Logos Magic Knights, who have been forced to simply watch the battle.
The seemingly glare that Saber is giving them caused the three Sword of Logos Magic Knights to become tense.
"What's Saber going to do?" The three Sword of Logos thought whilst getting into a defensive positions with their Holy Swords.
"…" The swordsman of flames(?) became silent for a few seconds before making one of his clawed-gauntlets disappear, making everyone confuse.
Before anyone can say anything, Saber lunged forwards…..heading straight towards Joyeues.
"W-what is he p-planning?!" Joyeues thought, becoming alarmed.
Within seconds, Saber was in front of the swords-woman of steel and swing his remaining clawed-gauntlets, striking Joyeues horizontally.
"Gah!" Joyeues exclaimed as her grip on both Argent-Couronne and Rekka lessened.
With his free hand, Saber snatched Rekka and start to attack Joyeues in a frenzy manner and with a few powerful hit, managed to make Joyeues's armor disappear.
"Asta, Stop!" Espada and Blades exclaimed in horror as they jumped in to rescue Noelle who has fallen onto the ground after receiving a few more sword attacks from Rekka.
However, Saber easily battered them away with the aid of his tail.
Noelle looked up to see Saber returning his glaring attention back onto her.
"A….Asta…." Noelle said in weak tone of voice just as Saber sheathed Rekka into his Seiken Sword-Driver and tapped the open cover of "Primitive Dragon".
Grap Finishing Passage!
The voice announced, joined by the skeletal tail which grabbed Noelle and raise the silver hair girl into the air.
The swordsman of flames(?) then remove Rekka.
Unsheathe the flames!
Crush finishing slash!
The voice announced again just before Saber swing Rekka, the blade covered in powerful cyan-coloured flames.
And there we have it, Saber/Primitive Dragon fighting the Magic Knight, who are then joined by Bahadur, Olivia and Takdir with the chapter taking on a dark turn with Nolle being on the receiving end of a finishing move.
In Gotchard:
1) The Wheel Malgam continued to fight the Angel Magalm in berserk-like manner, which is further increased with the Angel Malgam resurrecting his parents again, yet Spanner's parents decided kill themselves with one of the broken pieces of the Wheel Malgam. The Angel Malgam attempted to resurrect them second time, but discovered that he couldn't before deciding to flee, leading to the battle to be finished with Fire Gotchard defeating the Wheel Malgam, knocking him out. Lachesis started to become worried that Geryon will replace her and the other two with Spanner/Wheel Malgam, yet Atropos quickly silenced her with Mr Minato having heard the conversation.
2) Houtarou, Rinne, Renge and Sabimaru decided to help Kyoka complete the still-in-development Driver, spending the entire night to finish the Driver with Kyoka deciding to name it the Valvard-Driver. The Dark Sisters and the Angel Malgam suddenly appeared with Kyoka quickly realizing that they want to kill her in front of Spanner. With Spanner, he was called by Mr Minato who stated that he has already killed Kyoka and took the Valvard-Driver, having visited her earlier, causing Spanner to angrily transform into the Wheel Malgam and began to fight Dread. At a critical moment in the fight, the Wheel Malgam managed to control his anger, reverting him back into Spanner who then when on to take back the Valvard-Driver and the Chemy Cards that were stolen from him, along with (6)Mad-Wheel reforging into (6)Mach-Wheel.
3) Spanner went to the main battle and used the Valvard-Driver, (6)Mach-Wheel and (6)Daiohni to transform into Kamen Rider Valvard and fight Angel Malgam, using a "Custom-Up" form to defeat the Malgam. A injured Mr Minato was confronted by Lachesis who commented that him giving Spanner the Valvard-Driver was his goal the entire time.
So there we have it, Spanner becoming a Kamen Rider. Whilst I do like the cleaner design that Kamen Rider Valvard possess than his pseudo-Rider form, I would have prefer if his name got changed/altered to make a better difference between the two. So instead of using Chemy Cards whose combined level is that of 10, Valvard using Chemy Cards that possess the same level and as of right now, Valvard is only able to use Chemy Cards that belong to the Vehicle and Occult categories. It would seem that Mr Minato seem to have his own goals despite working for Geryon.
Information about Gotchard's Super Form has been revealed, using the (1)Ten-Liner Chemy Card/adapter, he transforms into Iron Gotchard. I'm a bit surprised that Gochard's Super Form is based on a locomotive since I would have expected to be connected to (1)Hopper-1, but at least the other Chemies are having their time to shine! So I'm guessing that (9)Steam-Liner will evolve into (10)Ten-Liner, similar to how (6)Mad-Wheel evolved into (6)Mach-Wheel, although I'm not sure about the gaining an additional level part. At this point it is pretty obvious that Gotchard will gain his Final Form through a additional attachment to the Gotchard-Driver.
Please review and until next time.
