As Promised, Here's The Continuation Of Yesterday's Chapter, Enjoy. I Don't Own Kamen Rider Or Loud House
As the battle between Kamen Rider LL and the Knights of Destruction raged on, Lincoln found himself in a tight spot, he had already tried all his known weapons and Sound Mode, but they weren't very effective. "Man these guys are tough!" Lincoln said, entering his Water Mode and firing a freeze blast from his left hand, only for Ankylo to bat it aside with his mace. "Okay, let's see you try this!" He said, using his water blaster to soak the ground before summoning his screen.
0-0-0-4, Lightning!
With a swipe, he entered his electric form and slammed down on the wet ground, sending a burst of electricity their way. Unfortunately, Triken was able to use two of his swords to redirect the current up into the air. "Dang it! I Was hoping that would work!" Lincoln said as Spino started charging, jaws open wide. Using the speed Lightning Mode gave him, Lincoln was able to avoid the attack. "Run all you want, LL, but once the Knights of Destruction get someone in their sights, no one can stop them!" Tyrannus said. "Okay, this might be more difficult than I thought it would be." Lincoln muttered. "Sakura! I need some help!" Lincoln called in his communicator, only to receive static. "Sakura?" Lincoln asked again, only to receive Leni's voice on the other end. "Linky, we've got a bit of a problem." She said. "Leni? What are you doing on the communicator? And where's Sakura?" He asked. "Yeah, that's the problem." Leni said as she, her sisters, Clyde, and Mrs. Hoseki tried to figure out what just happened with Sakura.
Forest Outside Of Royal Woods
Speaking of Sakura, she continued to walk through a forest, with a blank look on her face, she appeared to have no destination, but something was up as she approached a large lake. She then raised her left hand and the kanji for water glowed, and like the Red Sea did for Moses, the lake parted for her, revealing a cave opening at the far end of the lake. For some reason, she walked down into the lake bed, headed towards the cave entrance.
Base
"I don't understand, how could this have happened to Sakura-chan!?" Mrs. Hoseki asked. "We're not sure, Mrs. Hoseki." Lori said. "All we know is she started getting headaches, and next thing we know, she sent a gust of wind my way via kick and summoned this pillar of earth!" She said. "I don't know if this is important, but I noticed something." Lucy said. "What?" Lori asked as Lucy pulled out a pen and piece of paper. "Every time she had a headache, these symbols appeared on her hands and feet." Lucy said, drawing the four kanji symbols. "That's kanji!" Mrs. Hoseki said. "Whatji?" Leni asked. "Kanji, a form of Japanese symbol writing that uses Chinese characters, each symbol means something." Lisa said. "What do these mean?" Lola asked. "Hi, Mizu, Chikyu, and Kaze." Mrs. Hoseki said, confusing everyone but Lisa. "Fire, Water, Earth and Wind." Lisa translated. "Why would these appear on her hands and feet?" Luna asked before everyone turned to see Lincoln struggling against the Knights. "We'll figure that out later, but for now, Lincoln needs help!" Lori said, activating the switch that held their aides outfits. "Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, and Lily, you guys stay here with Mrs. Hoseki, everyone else, with me!" Lori said, tossing everyone else their outfits before they headed to the emergency exit.
With Sakura
Soon she approached the entrance of the cave. Noticing it was dark, she raised her right hand, the kanji for fire glowing, allowing a fireball to form, which she then shot out, causing the sconces on the wall to light up before she started walking down.
Inside Sakura's Head
Sakura shook herself awake, but noticed something off, instead of the base or a hospital, she was in what she recognized as the living room of her old home, the one she and her family lived in before moving to America. "What's going on? Why am I here?" She asked herself, before a feminine voice rang out. "Sakura-chan!" The voice rang out, Sakura turned to see a woman she knew all too well. "Mama!" She said, running to her mother, only to phase through her, confusing her, she then saw another her hugging her mother. "It's just like my dream last night!" Sakura realized. "Sakura-chan, your Papa, Oniichan and I are going out to finalize our plans to move to America, I'm going to need you to be a good girl for your O bachan while we're gone, okay?" Her mother asked her. "Yes, Mama." The dream Sakura answered. "Good." Her mother said, kissing her forehead. "I'll be back soon, my little Cherry Blossom." (For Those Of You That Don't Know, Sakura Is A Japanese Word That Means Cherry Blossom) Her mother said, before heading out the door. "Mama, wait! Don't go!" Sakura said, trying to stop her mother, knowing full well what happened that day, but she couldn't do anything. Suddenly, the scenery changed from that of her old home to a busy road. "This wasn't part of my dream." Sakura said as a familiar car pulled to a stop. Sakura looked to see three familiar passengers. "Mama! Papa! Oniichan!" She said. "This means, oh no!" Sakura said, before running towards the car, only for it to blow up in front of her eyes. "No." She said, lip quivering. When she found out her parents and brother, who she loved with all her heart were dead, she was upset, but actually seeing it first hand was absolutely devastating for the young girl, like she did when she learned of the accident, she fell to her knees and started crying. "Your tears are well warranted." A feminine voice rang out as Sakura felt something tap her shoulder, surprising her. Turning around, she noticed a shining being she didn't recognize. "But there's something you must know, there's more to it than you realize." The figure said before starting to disappear. "Wait! What do you mean?!" Sakura asked, trying to go to the figure, only for a bright flash of light to snap her out of her trance, once she did, she realized she was in an unfamiliar room. "Ah, young Miss Sakura. We've been waiting for you." A voice rang out, Sakura turned to see Toadus and Gorf, Toadus sitting down in front of a tea ceremony setting. "Tea?" He offered, surprising Sakura.
Downtown
Meanwhile, with Lincoln, the battle still wasn't going well. He had just been knocked back into his base form by one of Spino's attacks. "Man, these guys are nothing like I've ever fought before!" Lincoln complained as the Knights started approaching him before several blaster shots fired, everyone turned to see Lori and the others in their aide's outfits. "Are you okay?" Leni asked. "Yeah, I'm fine, but what are you guys doing here?!" Lincoln asked. "We noticed you were having trouble, and since Sakura's gone AWOL on us, we figured we'd come and help you out!" Clyde said before firing another blaster shot that got deflected by one of Triken's blades. "Are you guys nuts!? If I can't do anything against these guys, what makes you think you can do anything different!?" Lincoln said. "Give us some credit here, bro! It's the best we could think of to do!" Luna said.
Toadus And Gorf's Hideout
Sakura was shocked by what she was seeing. "You're, you're, you're..." She stuttered. "Animarius? Yes, yes we are. But fear not, young child, we are not like Draco and his goons." Toadus said as Gorf poured tea into two cups. "At least, not anymore." He said. "Allow us to introduce ourselves, I am Toadus, this is Gorf. Long ago, we were the General and second in command of the Empire's now defunct Amphibian Army." Toadus said as Gorf placed tea in front of Toadus and Sakura. "My ancestor's journal never mentioned anything about an Amphibian Army." Sakura said in confusion. "That's because you weren't looking in the right place." Toadus said, handing Sakura several pieces of paper. "The missing pages!" She recognized. "That means you guys are the reason the pages describing LL's Water and Lightning modes came back!" She realized. "That is correct young Sakura. Let me explain." He said, tapping Sakura on her head.
Toadus' Vision
"Several Earth Millenia Ago, On A far away planet, known as Animari Prime, a planet similar in environment to your earth, the Animarius lived in peace. The 8 tribes: Mammal, Bird, Insect, Fish, Reptile, Amphibian, Dinosaur, and Mythical walked around without a care in the world." Toadus said as images of the peaceful life filled Sakura's head. "It's amazing." Sakura said. "It certainly was, until the day King Draco rose to power. He felt the Animarius to be the truly superior race, and that we should be ruling over the entire universe." Toadus said. "So he formed an empire of loyal Animarius who agreed to his decision, and branded everyone who didn't traitors and executed them!" Toadus explained as a vision of Draco removing the soul cores of a pair of owl themed Animarius before destroying them with his sword, the Shi no Gutai-ka, causing the two to keel over before disappearing, as Draco ordered, everyone to leave, a younger Aquilis noticed something, an egg. Picking it up, she realized what Draco had just done. Placing a hand on where the two once were. "Please forgive me for what just happened, and in exchange I promise to raise your child like it was my own." She said before following King Draco out. "Once he amassed what he believed to be a large enough army, King Draco began his conquest, eventually he arrived on Earth, he thought because he had already conquered several worlds, that this one would be easy, but he was wrong." Toadus said as a vision of Lizardons rampaging in ancient Kyoto, Japan. Then suddenly, a man in a white robe appeared. "Is that?" Sakura asked. "Yes, that is Hoseki Ryu, your ancestor." Toadus said as the ronin unsheathed a katana, pointing it towards the invading army. "I don't know why you're here, but I do know, you won't be doing any evil things on my watch!" Ryu courageously said, charging. "For six months, Ryu courageously did battle against us, protecting people, the war was pretty much even, until one day." Toadus said as a vision of him and Sakura's ancestor doing battle atop a cliff during a lightning storm was shown, Toadus using his staff, Ryu using a katana. "You're a worthy adversary, human." The past Toadus said. "As are you, Amphibian-dono." Ryu said, when suddenly, a lightning bolt struck the ground Toadus was on, causing the cliff he was standing on to become unstable, causing Toadus to slip and fall off the edge, then blackness. Toadus' eyes then opened up, and when he looked around, he noticed he was in a cave, and his arm was in a sling. "Are you okay? That was a pretty nasty fall you took back there." Ryu said, catching Toadus' attention, noticing he was sitting on the other side of a fire. "You, you saved me? But why? I haven't done anything that deserves such an action." The Toadus of the past said. "Not even evil aliens deserve such an dishonorable fate." Ryu said. "Your ancestor's actions caused something in my mind to click. It made me realize there was no superior race, and that we shouldn't try to take over the earth, but try to see if we could co-exist in peace." Toadus said as the vision changed to the throne room. "Unfortunately, King Draco didn't see it that way." Toadus said with regret. "Co-exist with the humans?!" Draco said, with Tyrannus and Leo on either side of him. "Are you mad?!" He asked with rage. "But, your majesty! This war has gone on too long, and we don't need to conquer them! If we can find a way to atone for the sins we have accumulated over the past year, I'm sure we could make peace with the humans!" Toadus said. "Don't be ridiculous! The humans are nothing more than pathetic weaklings! Even that one human who has been showing resistance will soon cower in fear." King Draco said as Aquilis and Tytus walked in, with a blackboard depicting the driver. "Ah, I suppose these are the plans for the power amplifier?" Draco asked. "Yes, my liege. It's still in the embryo stage, but I'm confident we'll be able to use this to our advantage." Aquilis said. "When I heard those words come out of her mouth, I knew what I had to do. Over the next six months, I watched carefully as Aquilis perfected the device, waiting patiently for when it was complete." Toadus said as a vision of a single Lizardon, with the driver around his waist taking out a large squadron of Lizardons without breaking a sweat. "As you can see my lord, the power amplifier is now finished and ready for battle." Aquilis told Draco. "Excellent work, Aquilis, prepare for battle come tomorrow!" He ordered. "Yes, your majesty." Aquilis said. "Once that happened, I knew the time was right." Toadus said as a vision of him packing several things in a bag was shown. "General Toadus?" A voice rang out. Toadus turned to see Gorf standing in the entrance way. "What are you doing?" He asked. "Defecting, Gorf." Toadus said. "Defecting?! But General Toadus, that's treason! You could be executed for such an act!" Gorf said. "I know, but I don't care! The human has shown me the light, which is why I am going to help him from now on. Once I'm finished packing, I'm going to break into Aquilis' lab and steal that power amplifier and give it to him!" Toadus said. "No, no you're not." Gorf said, placing his hand on the toad animarius' shoulder. "We are." He said. Soon they were running from Aquilis' lab, the driver in hand, as the alarm started ringing. "Going somewhere?!" Tytus asked as she dropped down. "Leave us be, Tytus!" Gorf said. "I'm afraid I can't do that, Gorf. You two have committed treason, for that reason, you must die!" She said, unsheathing her ninjato and charging, only for Gorf to intercept with his katana. "It doesn't have to be this way! Come with us! Help us end King Draco's reign of terror!" Gorf said, struggling to hold his own against the owl Animarius. "I can't do that! My loyalties lie with my mother, as long as she's loyal to the King, so am I!" She said, before kicking Gorf aside. "Animari Ninpo! Kaze Giri!" She said, performing her signature attack. Toadus tried to get the two out of the way, only for the energy slash to hit him in the eye. "Master Toadus!" Gorf said in horror upon seeing his master injured. Seeing no way out of this, Gorf performed a trick of his own. "Animari Ninpo! Genso No Kiri!" (Illusory Mist) He cried before throwing down a smoke bomb that surrounded them in a thick fog. "Animari Ninpo! Kamikaze!" (Divine Wind) Tytus called before flapping her wings, dispersing the fog, only to find the amphibians having already fled. "A power amplifier?" Ryu asked as Toadus, now sporting a bandage over his damaged eye, and Gorf handed the driver to him. "Yes, with a few modifications, I believe you can use it to turn the tides of this war." Toadus explained. "Why are you giving me this?" Ryu asked. "I haven't forgotten about what you did six months ago, human. And that act of kindness inspired me to help you, not fight you. That's why my ward and I have hereby defected from the Empire, and swear allegiance to you." Toadus said as he and Gorf bowed down. Sometime later, Aquilis lead another swarm of Lizardons on a small village. "Stop right there!" Ryu said, catching her attention. "Oh, great. You again." Aquilis said. "Yes, me again, but I'm different from the last time we faced." He said, holding up the driver. "The power amplifier! How did you-" Aquilis started saying as Ryu placed the driver on his waist and summoned his screen.
0-0-0-1, Iku Ze! (Let's Go!, The Driver Adapts To The User's First Language)
"Henshin!" Ryu said, and with a swipe, donned the familiar suit of Kamen Rider LL. (Of Course, Back Then, It Was Just Kamen Rider) As the vision ended. "I always wondered how my ancestor got ahold of the technology to make the driver." Sakura said in wonder. "We were branded traitors in King Draco's eyes, but Ryu didn't care, and saw the good in our hearts, and readily accepted our assistance. Together we developed the weapons and powers LL uses today." He explained. "Why are you telling me all this now? And how did I get here?" Sakura asked. "To understand that, you'll have to go forward in the story by about five years." Toadus said, tapping his staff on her forehead. The vision now showed Toadus, now without the bandage, but blind in the damaged eye, and Gorf looking over a map, trying to figure out Draco's next move. "Toadus-dono! Gorf-san!" Ryu's voice rang out, the two turned to see Ryu, still in the rider suit carrying an unconscious woman, dressed in an elegant nature themed gown ran in. "Ryu-san, what's the matter?" Toadus asked. "I was in combat with one of Tyrannus' soldiers and this woman got caught in the crossfire!" Ryu said. "Is there anything you can do?!" He asked. "There is, Gorf! Fetch my staff!" Toadus said. "Yes, Master Toadus!" Gorf said, soon the woman was in the middle of a circle, surrounded by incense as Toadus muttered mystical gibberish, sprinkling magic powder on her prone body. As this was happening, Gorf noticed Ryu holding a small box. "Something wrong?" Gorf asked. "She was carrying this box, I don't know why, but something tells me it's important." He said, opening it to reveal the four gemstones Toadus and Gorf used in the ritual that brought Sakura to them. Soon the woman woke up. "What's going on here? Where am I?!" She asked. "Daijobudesu, you're amongst friends." Ryu said. "You, you're the one who's been fighting those freaky things!" She said, before noticing Toadus and Gorf. "Don't worry, they're on our side. I'm Hoseki Ryu, this is Toadus and Gorf." Ryu introduced himself and his allies. "The woman introduced herself a Naturia, a Shizen no Yosei." Toadus said. "A nature fairy?" Sakura asked. "Yes, she explained that she was also a guardian of the four sacred gemstones, each embodying the power of a different element: Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind. She was angry at the Empire for harming the nature and humans, so she thought she could help out, but got injured in the battle Ryu talked about." Toadus said. "She was able to help, just not in a way that would do any good in battle, until one day." Toadus said as the vision changed to Ryu talking to Toadus and Gorf about something. "You want us to replicate the powers the driver gives you for Naturia?" Toadus asked. "Yes, not entirely, but just enough for her to be able to help us against the Empire." Ryu said. "As touching as that is, it was Aquilis who made the driver, not me. I'm not sure if I could be able to replicate it like you did." Toadus said. "Even if we could, the technology used to create the driver is in Aquilis' lab in the castle, and I doubt they'd be so welcoming." Gorf said, suddenly Ryu got an idea. "What if you used your magic?" He asked, surprising the two. "If you combine your powers with those of the sacred gemstones, would that be able to do anything?" He asked. "Possibly." Toadus said. Soon they were gathered in a circle, the four gemstones gathered in the same way as the ritual from earlier, muttering more mystical gibberish, Toadus created a magic burst that united the powers. "Is this for me?" Naturia asked as Ryu handed her something. "Yes, with this, you will be able to fight alongside me, using your powers on an amplified scale." Ryu said as the vision ended.
It didn't take Sakura long to realize what she just saw was insinuating. "There's a second driver." She said in shock. "Yes, and it's right here." Toadus said, picking up the stone. "After the Empire was sealed, I placed a seal on it, so that when the time came, only the chosen one could use it again." He said, handing it to her. "What makes you think I'm that person?" Sakura asked. "Over the next five years, as Ryu and Naturia continued to fight the Empire, something else happened. They started to fall in love with each other." Toadus said, surprising Sakura. "But they knew it was a love not meant to be." Toadus said sadly. "After the Empire was sealed, Naturia realized she could no longer be with Ryu, and bid a sad farewell to us. And that was the last we ever heard from her, at least we thought." Toadus said as he conjured up another vision.
One Year After The Empire's Seal
As Ryu sat down in his house, writing down in what would become the journal Sakura uses, the sound of crying caught his attention. He went outside to see what was going on. Looking down he saw a newborn infant in a basket. Confused, Ryu picked up the infant and tried to calm it down when he noticed a note in the basket. He opened it up to see it was from the woman he loved, Naturia.
Ryu, my love.
I apologize for not saying anything in the last year, but I had to stay away from you for our safety, I never told you this, but I was already betrothed to another nature fairy, so I had to leave to marry him. Soon afterwards, I learned I was pregnant, my husband was overjoyed by this announcement, but It didn't feel right to me. When my child was born, that's when I realized, this is YOUR son, not my husband's. I know this is unorthodox, but I had no choice, I told my husband the child had been stillborn, but I was able to sneak him to you. I hope you are able to give him a better life than I ever could. Please forgive me.
-Naturia
It didn't take long for Sakura to realize what Toadus was saying. "Are you saying that not only am I descended from the ronin that sealed the empire, but the fairy that helped him as well?" Sakura asked in surprise. "That's exactly what I'm saying." Toadus said. "The fact that you were able to hit the Basilisk Lizard Animarius with that stream of water was proof of the powers that have lied dormant within your family for generations." Toadus said. "We were just able to help them fully wake up." He said, pointing to the kanji that were now permanently on Sakura's hands and feet. "But why?" Sakura asked. "To fulfill your destiny. Just as Ryu couldn't seal the Empire on his own, Lincoln can't do this on his own, as this clearly shows." Toadus said, summoning a screen that showed the carnage of a battle Lincoln and his aides were going through. "Lincoln-kun!" Sakura said in fear before looking at the stone. "But why me? When I first tried to use the driver, I couldn't even place it on my waist!" Sakura said. "That was your inner fairy telling you it wasn't time yet, but now it is." Gorf said. "This is your destiny, Sakura. Become the heroine you were meant to be, and maybe you'll be able to find out the truth about your family's deaths." Toadus said, surprising Sakura. "What do you mean, find out the truth about my family's deaths?" Sakura asked. Toadus then summoned a magic screen that showed the day of the explosion. "I realize this might be difficult for you, but it's important you see this and look closely." He said as the car exploded. The sight of the accident that killed her parents and brother caused Sakura to fall on her knees and start weeping. "I understand your pain, Sakura. But there's more to this accident than you realize." Toadus said, catching Sakura's attention. "What do you mean?" She asked as Toadus rewound the footage, stopping at the moment before the explosion. "Notice anything that shouldn't be there?" He asked. Sakura looked closely, before seeing what Toadus was talking about. "What is that?" She asked in wonder.
Battlefield
As Lincoln got sent back, undoing his transformation, his sisters quickly running to his cover. "Lincoln!" They all said as Clyde armed his blaster. "Are you okay?" Leni asked. "I'm fine. I just need to-" Lincoln said, only to groan in pain as he tried to push down the lever. "What's wrong, LL? Can't fight? Pathetic! You should just run like the cowardly human you are!" Spino said as he and the other knights started advancing, only for a fireball to stop them in their tracks. "What the?" Everyone said, before turning to see the source of the fireball being, Sakura! "Sakura?" Lincoln asked in surprise upon seeing his friend with her hand outstretched and her palm smoking.
Base
"Sakura-chan!" Mrs. Hoseki said in surprise. "Where did she come from? And why is her hand smoking like that?" Lola asked.
Battlefield
"Another human? Perfect! She can witness LL's defeat!" Triken sad, raising his blade, however before he could do anything, Sakura shifted her weight on her right leg, and a pillar of rock hit him straight in the chest. "I'm no ordinary human, you so called knight." Sakura said, holding up the stone Toadus and Gorf gave her. Raising it above her head, she screamed and slammed it down on her waist, once it made contact, a perky, female voice rang out.
Hoseki Driver!
Once the voice said that, the rock burst away, revealing a device similar to the driver Lincoln uses, but with four slots in the face, arranged in a circle. Plus as it's name suggests, it is covered in jewels. (In Case You Didn't Know, Hoseki Is A Japanese Word That Means Jewel, So Essentially, Sakura's Full Name Means "Jewel Of The Cherry Blossoms") The sight of the device made everyone gasp in surprise. "Another driver?" Lincoln asked in surprise. "No, it can't be!" Tyrannus said. "It can and it is, Tyrannus!" Toadus' voice rang out as he and Gorf appeared on the scene. "More Animarius?!" Lincoln asked in horror as his aides armed their blasters. "Daijobudesu, min'na, (It's Okay, Everyone) these two are on our side." Sakura told them. "I apologize for not properly introducing myself before, LL. But it wasn't needed yet." Gorf said. Lincoln immediately recognized the voice. "You're the guy who helped me yesterday!" He realized. "Yes, I am Gorf. This is Toadus. We are here to help repeat history and seal the Empire!" Gorf explained. "Well, this is something I wasn't expecting." Clyde said. "Sakura, you'll need these." Toadus said, giving her the sacred gemstones. "Arigato, Toadus-san." Sakura said, steeling her resolve and placing the ruby of fire in the slot at the top.
Ruby!
She then hit a little switch that turned the wheel to the next slot, which she placed the sapphire of water in.
Sapphire!
Repeating the gesture, she then placed the topaz of earth in the next slot.
Topaz!
She then did it one last time, placing the emerald of wind in the last slot.
Emerald!
Then as, elegant music played, Sakura struck a pose, akin to that of Kamen Rider Meteor's pre transformation pose, and yelled a word that had become familiar to Lincoln. "Henshin!" She said, before spinning the wheel as a brilliant flash of light surrounded her, the four gemstones embedding themselves in Sakura's arms and legs. Once the light subsided, Sakura was now in a new outfit. With a black bodysuit, she was now clad in a grey helmet and chest plate, with one glove being red, the other blue, as well as one boot being yellow, the other green, each with their respective gemstones in them. She also had a skirt and a little tiara atop her helmet. This made everyone, both on the battlefield and in both bases gasp in shock. "The princess destined to eradicate the darkness of evil with the light of good! Kamen Rider Jewel!" The newly christened Kamen Rider Jewel announced before walking up past Lincoln and his aides. "Sakura, but how?" Lincoln asked. "I'll explain later, but for now, you need to get some rest. I'll take it from here." Sakura said, cracking her knuckles. "Ha! A pathetic human thinks she can do what LL couldn't? That's priceless! Why don't you guys head back to the castle? I'll take care of this little girl." Triken offered. "Very well, Triken." Tyrannus said as he and the other knights fled. "You don't know what you're getting yourself into, human!" Triken said as Sakura removed the ruby from her red glove and placed it in the driver.
Ruby!
Spinning it, she underwent a transformation, every part of her armor that wasn't red became so. "Kamen Rider Jewel, flame mode!" Sakura said. "Ooh, I'm so scared!" Triken said sarcastically as Sakura summoned a katana before charging. She slashed, only for Triken to block it with one of his swords. "You really think you can challenge the knight of three blades with a sword?" Triken asked, laughing. "That's pathetic." Triken said, laughing. "There's more to this sword than meets the eye!" Sakura said, when all of a sudden, the blade caught ablaze, surprising Triken. She then screamed in determination as she parried Triken's swords before slashing upwards, striking the Triceratops Animarius, she then struck each of his hands, disarming him of two of his swords. Before he could pick either of them up, Sakura shot a stream of fire that melted them in seconds. "My swords!" Triken said in shock. "Get over it." Sakura said, removing the ruby from her driver, going back into her base form before placing the sapphire in it. "You still have another one!" She said.
Sapphire!
She then spun the wheel again, this time the armor turned blue. "Kamen Rider Jewel, ocean mode!" Sakura said, summoning a blue trident, which she then used to do battle against Triken. He tried using the one sword he had left to counter, but Sakura was able to hit him each time, before summoning a stream of water that she hit in the gut with. She then took out the sapphire, and replaced it with the emerald of wind.
Emerald!
She then spun it, donning green armor this time. "Kamen Rider Jewel, Hurricane Mode!" She said, summoning a green crossbow and firing energy bolts at him. One of thiose bolts hit his one remaining sword, removing it from his head. "No! My one remaining sword!" Triken said in horror as Sakura summoned a gust of wind that sent it into a nearby fire that resulted from their earlier rampage. Sakura then replaced the emerald with the topaz of earth.
Topaz!
With a spin, she now donned yellow armor. "Kamen Rider Jewel, Earth Mode!" She said, before stomping her foot, causing a crack in the ground around Triken to open up, trapping him in the earth. "I'm only going to ask you this once, so you better answer truthfully." Sakura said, summoning a yellow hammer. "What do you know about an Animarius soldier that wasn't sealed in the great battle?!" She asked, surprising everyone but Toadus and Gorf. "I- I don't know what you're talking about!" Triken said. "Well, maybe this will refresh your memory." Sakura said, before repeatedly whacking the Triceratops over the head with her hammer. "All right, all right, all right! I'll talk!" He said after getting hit for the tenth time. "The only ones who weren't sealed are those traitors over there." Triken said, pointing to Toadus and Gorf. "And the members of King Draco's royal guard, who he had sent to the four corners of the globe beforehand to help spread our conquest!" Triken said. "Draco's royal guard?" Sakura asked in surprise. "The most powerful soldiers in the entire empire, even Spino's afraid of them!" He said. "Well then." Sakura said, reverting back to her base form. "You have no further use to me." She said placing the four gemstones in front of her driver in quick succession.
Ruby! Sapphire! Topaz! Emerald! Gemstone Blitz!
Sakura tossed the four gemstones in the air as they grew in size and aligned themselves in front of the other. (Kind Of Like OOO's Tatoba Scanning Charge Finisher) Sakura then jumped up and drove her foot forward in a kick that gained power every time she went through one of the jewels. "Hoseki rider kick!" She said as her foot made contact with Triken's face, sending a surge of energy that shattered his soul core before he blew up. She then stuck a perfect three point landing before catching the reformed soul core and heading back to her friends. "Here." She said, tossing it to Lincoln. "My driver can't seal them like yours can." She said. "Wait, how did you- I mean, what in the-" Lincoln started saying. "All good questions, Lincoln. But for now we should head to our hideout, Gorf and I will explain everything there." Toadus said. "But first, Gorf, head to their base and get their other allies." Toadus said. "Yes, Master Toadus." Gorf said, hopping away.
Animarius Castle
"I can't believe even the high and mighty Knights of Destruction failed!" Tytus said in surprise as Tyrannus and his remaining knights entered the throne room. "My lord." He said, kneeling down. "I beg for your forgiveness. I shouldn't have let Triken try to handle this on his own." Tyrannus said. "It's quite alright, Tyrannus. No one could have seen this coming, but one thing's for sure, this war just got a whole lot more interesting." Draco said, unsheathing the Shi no Gutai-ka and embedding it in the wall. "King Draco, what are you doing?" Tyrannus asked. "Jewel wants my royal guard? She'll get it!" Draco said as a beam of light shot up out of the castle. "No matter where they are, or what they're doing, this beacon will draw them here!" Draco said, laughing maniacally.
Toadus And Gorf's Hideout
Back at the hideout, Toadus and Gorf had told everyone the same story they told Sakura. "And basically that's the gist of it." Sakura said. "A nature fairy?" Lisa said. "Normally my scientific mind would argue against the existence of such a thing, but after everything that's happened recently, I've learned to accept everything." She said. "Why were you so interested in an Animarius that wasn't sealed Sakura?" Lincoln asked. "Because as it turns out, that Animarius is responsible for the deaths of my parents and Oniichan!" Sakura explained, surprising everyone. Toadus then summoned a magic view window of the accident, and just before the car exploded, he paused it, everyone noticed a black orb of energy that hurtled towards the car. "That orb is without a doubt the power of an Animarius, and now we know it's one of King Draco's royal guard, the only problem is, we don't know which one." Toadus explained. "Well, whatever it is, I promise, we'll figure it out together!" Lincoln said, touching Sakura's shoulder with a calming hand, which she smiled at. "Arigato, Lincoln-kun." She said. "And you'll have our help as well." Gorf promised. "Yes, just as we did Ryu, we promise to do everything in our power to help you." Toadus said, holding up the remaining pages. "Starting, with this." He said, muttering mystical gibberish, and allowing the pages to return to the book. When Sakura looked through it again, she discovered everything Toadus and Gorf had told her, and more. "Arigato, Toadus-san, Gorf-san." Sakura said. "Come on everyone, let's head back home and enjoy some Takoyaki!" Mrs. Hoseki said as everyone followed, except Sakura. "Aren't you coming Sakura?" Lincoln asked. "I'll be there in a minute, I need to talk to Toadus-san about something." Sakura said. "Okay." Lincoln said, following everyone else. "Something the matter, Sakura?" Toadus asked. "Naturia, whatever happened to her?" Sakura asked, surprising the two. "We don't know. The day the Empire was originally sealed was the last time any of us, even Ryu ever saw her, and the baby was the last time we ever heard from her." Toadus said. "Oh." Sakura said in disappointment. "But don't worry, Sakura! Nature fairies are immortal as long as their forest is still standing, and last I checked, the forest Naturia said was hers was still standing, so I'm sure she's probably still around." Gorf said. "Arigato, Gorf-san. I'd better go to the others. See you later!" Sakura said, joining the others. As she walked towards her friends, she took one last glance at her driver, steeling her resolve, preparing for her new role as Kamen Rider Jewel.
