Winx x Saber Dragon Fire Rider
ESKK: Lets start the chapter, this has been long overdue so please enjoy it.
(Start Meggido Late in the evening)
"How many more times do you plan to fail?" Yasha asked as he stood with his cohorts glaring at the Trix. "We gave you resources, power, and information and every time thus far you've let us down." Yasha said as he sat in his chair. After the recent incident with the Trix Meggido were most displeased with them.
"Look it's not our fault you gave us faulty equipment." Icy snapped as she glared at Yasha.
"Faulty equipment you say?" Bafomett said giving an offended tone. "Even faulty equipment is useful in the right hands." Bafomett said and in turn Icy had no argument to that.
"How dare you speak to us like that?!" Stormy yelled very much upset with Meggido. "Do you have any idea who your talking too?" She went on but then Azurha cut in on this.
"A trio of children pretending to be their ancestors and failing miserably at it." Azurha said causing the trio to glare at the three Meggido leaders. "Truly you three are a sorry sort if you can't handle a novice group of fairies and newly minted swordsmen." Azurha went on which got Darcy upset.
"Why you." Darcy growled as she was tempted to lash out.
"If you're so powerful and great why not come out of the shadows and do it yourself!" Icy yelled and thus the entire meeting went silent with how quickly Icy lost her temper.
"Hmm what an excellent idea." Yasha hummed and thus the Trix were surprised.
"Of course, if you want something done right you have to do it yourself." Bafomett said and thus they proceeded to get up. "Very well Trix if your so invested in this we shall as you say do it ourselves." Bafomett said and thus the group ended the call before the Trix could take back what they said. "Well then which of us shall go out?" Bafomett asked looking to Azurha and Yasha.
(Scene Break Flare Dreamscape)
Flare found himself in a pitch-black darkness as he tried to make sense of where he was. "What is this?" Flare asked while looking around. Flare recalled what he had been doing prior last night he went to bed like normal knowing tomorrow there would be no classes to attend. Still, it did not give Flare any peace as he found himself in this darkness.
But then a voice called out which got the Swordsman's attention. "Flare..." A voice called out which got Flare's attention. "Flare." It repeated causing Flare to look around for it.
"One of the times I wish I brough Tinkerbell." Flare said as he looked for the source of the voice. "Whose there?" Flare asked as he tried to figure out where the voice was coming from. "Who's calling me, if this is a prank Riven, I swear by all that is Holy." Flare said and the voice chuckled to this in a playful manor.
"It's me Flare do you remember? Do you remember my voice?" The unknown voice called, and Flare took a moment to search his memory.
He then recalled the fire he was stuck in with his friends and sister. "It's you, you're the voice that helped me and Bloom out back at Cloud Tower." Flare said as he had so many questions now.
"Yes, Flare come to me. Come." The female voice urged trying to get Flare to move.
"Yeah, hard to do if I can't see you." Flare said as he tried to feel around to find the voices owner. "Seriously can't you turn on the lights?" Flare asked as he tried to find the source of the source of the voice calling to him.
"Come to me Flare!" The woman called out which was starting to annoy Flare.
"Look I can't find you if I can't see you." Flare said but then gasped when he felt something graze his hand. Looking to the source Flare was then met with a woman towering over him bathed in a gold light with Brave Dragon flying around her.
"I am here." The woman in gold spoke as when Flare saw her, he was blinded by her radiant light. "I'm waiting for the both of you." She said before reaching her hand out to Flare. "Come to me and remember." The woman said which left Flare confused.
"Remember, remember what?" Flare asked only for the light to grow brighter as Flare felt his mind awakening to reality.
(Real World)
"Gaugh." Flare cried out as he felt someone awakening him.
"Good you are awake." Amud said as the guys were already up and about. "While I am aware that today is a holiday spending it in bed is unbecoming of a Swordsman and a Specialist." Amud said as he went to his suitcase.
"Gee thanks." Flare said as he was aware that today was a holiday, but he wanted to stay in bed.
"By the way Flare are you aware that you talk in your sleep." Amud asked as he loaded another of his belongings into his suitcase.
"Yeap its crazy I set up this recorder every night so I can hear what I say in my sleep." Flare said with a sarcastic tone.
"Strange, is that an earth habit?" Amud asked and in turn Flare facepalmed himself.
"I'm being sarcastic." Flare said wondering if Amud was doing it on purpose now.
"Ah I see." Amud said before going back to packing.
"By the way why are you packing?" Flare asked as he got out of bed and got Tinkerbell out from her own sleep in the hanging plate that he had set for her.
"Today is the day of the Rose and I am returning to my homeland to visit my mother." Amud said as he finished his packing. "After all today is the day of the rose." Amud said which Flare got confused.
"Day of the rose?" Flare asked before Sky spoke up while entering the area.
"Yeah, the day that celebrates everyone's mother." Sky said which Flare nodded in understanding to.
"Don't you have something like that on Earth?" Timmy asked as he looked to Flare.
"Yeah, we call it Mother's Day and sounds almost exactly like the Day of the Rose." Flare said before realizing something. "Which means I need to give mom a call before she finds out about it and has my head on a platter." Flare said which confused Amud once more.
"I do not understand, why would your own mother decapitate you and serve your head as a meal?" Amud said causing Sky and Flare to sigh and facepalm themselves.
"It's an expression Amud." Sky said as Amud was smart but was horribly not street savvy.
"So do you plan to go home also, Flare?" Timmy asked and in turn Flare smirked.
"And give up my freedom before the holiday break I don't think so." Flare said as he smirked to Timmy.
"Then you can hang out with me, Brandon, and Riven while these two are home." Sky said with a smirk to Flare as the two were basically best friends at this point.
"Oh, so it's the three amigos and the jerk the start of a sitcom." Flare joked as Sky figured Flare and Riven would lash out regularly at each other.
"Pretty much." Sky said and thus the two specialists knuckle bumped each other while chuckling a bit.
"So, what are we going to be doing anyways?" Flare ask as he didn't know much about this special holiday as Sky said, "Well there is a feasible going on for "Day of the Rose", as there will be a lot of thing going on so we could invite the girls, and also there's a Wind Rider Race I was thinking we could all sigh up and join, if you're interested."
"Are you kidding me? That sound awesome, and with the new wind Rider, you gave me, I'll be zooming pass everyone," Flare said as Sky, "Great. We're just about to head out then."
"I'll join you with you guy after I make a phone call really quick," Flare said sky nodded to this, "Got it, we'll wait out in the halls."
"Alright," Flare said as sky walk off, Flare began to look around for his phone, but… he forgot where he puts it as he looks around for his phone as he scratch his head a bit then soon ask himself, "where I put it?"
Suddenly Tinker bell flew around Flare as he saw her and said, "Hmm? What up Tink?" With that she flew over to where Flare other pair of pants were as he came over and grab them only for his Phone that was upgraded by Timmy to make across World calls as he chuckle and pick it up, "So that where I left it. Thank Tink, you're a life saver."
He have the small fairy a rub to her head as she giggles a bit and landed on his shoulder as he soon dial his house number before putting it up to his ear and hear the dial tone as he waited until it was answer hearing his mother's voice, "Hello?"
"Hey Mom, it Flare," Flare called out as he hear an exciting gasp from his mother as she said to him, "Flare, it's good to hear from you."
"Yeah, sorry for not calling as Often, but… there just a lot going on," Flare said as he can hear his mother laugh a bit and spoken in a joking tone, "No doubt, in a way I'm glad we didn't have to send you to military camp anymore now, sense you're in school like it."
"Wait, I didn't tell you that. Have you been talking to Selina?" Flare said as he can hear his mother laugh a bit, "I have. I saw her while walking by the bookstore and we got to talking. She misses you, you know, leaving her to do all the work."
"Mom, you know how sudden this became, I couldn't help it," Flare said as he could hear his mother agree to what he said as she says to him, "I know. Both you and Bloom had to learn what you are and such."
"Yeah, and speaking of Bloom, has she called you at all today?" Flare ask as his mother reply to him, "No she hasn't. Why, is there something wrong?"
"No, not at all mom, it just it seem there is special day here that Celebrates their own version of mother's day," Flare said as his mother's said, "Oh that sounds lovely. What's it called?"
"It's called "Day of the Rose"," Flare said as he could hear his mother laughing a bit as she said, "Day of the rose huh?"
"Yep, everyone is given the day off, so I'm just calling you to say, "Happy rose day" or something like that," Flare said as his mother said, "Thanks flare, I'm glad you call me for that. I hope your sister will call as well soon."
"Well, I'll tell her just in case if she doesn't know," Flare said as his mother, "Alright then, and Flare will you or your sister be coming home today?"
"Ahh, sorry mom, the guys sort of already invited me to go to a feasible with them, and no doubt bloom and her friends may join us too," Flare said as his mother said to him, "Well that too bad, but I am glad you called Flare."
"No problem mom, and listen I need to go soon alright," Flare said while his mother said to him, "That's fine dear. Go and enjoy your day and have fun."
"Thank mom, love you," Flare said to her as she reply to him, "I love you too Flare, take care."
With that he hung up, as he smile and look to Tink as he said, "Well then, let get ready Tink. We got a day ahead of us."
With that as he gotten dress in some clean clothes and went out to join with the other outside the dorm as they were waiting for him, with Riven said, "Finally. What took you so long? polishing your sword?"
"Nope, and besides," flare said as he pull out his SworDriver as he smiles, "This does it for me anyways." With that the guys headed out as they walk down the halls as Flare turn to Sky and Brandan soon ask, "Soon then, why aren't you guys heading homes yourselves anyways?"
"Well, for me. I don't feel like going home at the moment as if I do it would be mostly all work and no play," Sky said as he didn't want to give any idea of the real reason why he didn't want to go home with Brandon said, "Well for me you can already guess why."
Gesturing towards sky as Flare knew he was acting as Sky's double while also protecting him being his Squire and all that as Flare nodded as he soon turn to Riven, "So how about you Riven? Why are you heading home, family drama or something you don't want to get into?"
"None of your business, hot head," Riven said in a snapping tone as Flare said to him, "Geesh, you didn't have to bite my head off there."
"Let's just go." Riven snarked and in turn stormed off to get ready.
"Well seems Riven is still an ass." Flare said as he saw Riven storm off.
"Well, you do tend to instigate him." Sky said knowing how those two can get.
"Hey its mutual instigation." Flare countered and thus he went off to get ready as well.
(Later in Magix)
The group arrived in Magix and found that the festivities were already well underway. Games, dancing, street performances it was all here with Flare all the while soaking it all in. "So, this is the day of the rose." Flare said as he admired the festivities around him.
"Just try not to get lost like last time." Sky voiced causing Flare to roll his eyes. Flare then gave Sky a mock glare despite the fact Sky had a point on Flare.
"That only happened once!" Flare countered making it clear it hadn't happened since then.
"And we still give you grief for it." Brandon said as he and Sky then shared a laugh about it.
"Just remember I know where you sleep." Flare playfully threatened the two promising to get back at them for this. "So, what should we do first before the big race?" Flare asked looking around for something to kill time before the racers have to gather.
"Well, we do have a lot of options to choose from." Brandon said as Flare thought it over for a bit. "There are a lot of people though." Brandon added as Flare noticed that as well.
"To many for my tastes." Riven said which Flare gasped to this.
"The emo edge lord speaks again." Flare quipped causing Riven to glare at him. "Oh, lighten up you jerk relax have fun just like everyone here is." Flare said gesturing to the crowds of people around them.
"Flare!" Bloom was heard and thus the boys looked and saw Bloom was here with Stella.
"Oh, hey sis, Stella." Flare greeted to the two before him causing the group to form up.
"Hey Flare." Stella greeted with a smile on her face.
"Found out about the day of the rose?" Bloom asked which Flare smirked a bit.
"Naturally, any excuse to get out of school is one I look forward to." Flare said only for Sky to move in on his friend and teammate.
"He just found out about it this morning." Sky said under the guise of Brandon and in turn Flare pushed him off.
"Anyway, seeing as its mother's day in this world felt it was best to call mom up." Flare said as Bloom smiled a bit to Flare's deed. "Wished her a happy Rose Day and now that I think about it, I'm probably going to have to send gifts over for both." Flare said realizing how important ones mother was here. "So, you called her up yet?" Flare asked and thus Bloom turned her head.
"No sorry I would have felt homesick if I called her more so if I went to visit her." Bloom said and thus Flare was wide eyed over those words. Bloom saw the look and gave her brother a glare promising him sibling pain. "What did you do?" Bloom asked and thus Flare sighed a bit.
"I may or may not have told mom you were going to call." Flare said and thus Bloom gave her brother an annoyed glare.
"If I go down you go down with me." Bloom said knowing how their mom can get at times for things like this.
"Me? No, no; no baby sister I did my part for mom this is all on you and you are screwed if you don't call her." Flare said as he kept his hands clean this time from his mother's wrath.
"Thank goodness I'm an only child." Stella said with a smile on her face to Brandon who nodded in agreement with her under the guise of Sky.
Just then a Sky Plane flew overhead and proceeded to drop its payload. Looking up the group saw roses raining down from the sky as people seemed to enjoy it. "Hey here's an idea, Bloom. Let's gather up these Roses and make a bouquet to send to mom so she won't hound you to ask why you didn't call." Flare offered as a joke causing Bloom to glare at her brother.
"Flare I will punch you." Bloom said glaring at her brother who put her in a situation between herself and their mom.
"Just call her Bloom being homesick is a good sign to call." Flare said and in turn Bloom ignored her brother causing Flare to raise his hand in defeat. "Why do I even try?" Flare asked knowing how stubborn his twin sister can be. "Well at least we got some trinkets to bring back." Flare said taking a flower in his hand before sniffing it. "Smells like the ones in moms flower shop." Flare said with a smile on his face remembering home.
But then nearby Brandon offered Stella a rose causing the girl to giggle in response to this. But then as they looked deeply into the other eyes Flare could not help but feel glad Brandon had a crush that Stella seemed to share. But then his smile turned into a scowl when he saw Sky and Bloom were doing the same for each other.
Just then Riven cleared his throat and got everyone's attention. "Can we get going now?" Riven asked and for once Flare was happy that Riven can be such an asshole.
"Thank you Riven for cockblocking." Flare said to himself as while he promised to give Bloom space nothing in the promise stopped him from using proxies. "By the way Sky where are the racing signups?" Flare asked as he went up to Brandon needing direction.
"I know where they are this way." Sky said and thus he began to lead the group to where the signups were located.
"Wait racing signups?" Bloom asked with concern for her brother.
(Meanwhile nearby)
Yasha was walking through the city as he smiled trying to locate Flare and Bloom. "Now then... where oh where can the dragon hatchlings be?" Yasha asked as he looked around for the pair. Looking around he knew that with the Day of the Rose he had to blend in with the crowds, but he knew it would not be hard to locate a pair of redheads. "Ah there they are." Yasha said as he found the two as they were with their friends walking through town.
(Later back with the Ridex and Winx))
The group had arrived to find Skyrunner racing through the streets as people were seen cheering them on. Flare was watching it all as he had a big grin on his face before putting his fingers in his mouth and blowing a shrill whistle through them.
"Always wanted to watch a live race!" Flare called out as he watched the race take place.
"Some riders are getting ready for the race." Sky said as Flare smiled at this while he watched the riders go by.
"Isn't it a little dangerous Sky?" Stella asked Brandon still unaware that Brandon was pretending to bey Sky and vice versa.
"Don't worry its totally safe." Brandon said assuring Stella it was safe. Just then a commotion came from the track and in turn the group looked only to see a Cloud Rider lose control and fly towards them. Flare, Stella, and Bloom all cried out in shock when the rider nearly hit them causing them to jump.
"Don't worry the track is protected by a shield to keep anyone from getting hurt." Sky said and in response the rider was seen limping away causing Flare to look. "Mostly anyone." Sky added in the end as Flare seemed to be getting more excited by the second.
"Poor fools little do they know they're totally wasting their time." Riven said and thus Flare.
"Oh, Riven I can't believe you have that much faith in me." Flare boasted causing Riven to glare at Flare.
"I wasn't talking about me you idiot!" Riven yelled as Bloom heard this.
"Do you think you can beat Flare in the race?" Bloom asked as Riven smirked at the girl.
"I don't think I can I know I can." Riven said and thus Flare stepped up.
"Why not put your money where your mouth is Riven?" Flare asked as he glared at Riven.
"You, offering up a wager, Flare?" Riven asked as he sized up Flare who looked ready to rumble.
"Oh, big time." Flare responded and thus he got down to it. "If I win you have to drive around the school carrying a banner detailing me being better than you." Flare said and thus Riven glared at Flare but had a counter.
"And if I win your sister is my escort for the ball this evening." Riven said and thus Flare was wide eyed to this.
"Hell, the fuck no!" Flare yelled refusing to wager his sister like that.
"Yeah Riven, that is too far." Sky said taking his closest friend's side on this.
"He's right I'm not some prize to be won." Bloom added as Flare was tempted to kick his ass, and Bloom was tempted to help him.
"Yeah, and the last time I made a wager like that Bloom found out and threw my stuff out the window." Flare said recalling the last time he made a wager like that.
"Wait actually wagered your sister?!" Stella asked shocked at what she heard.
"We were 7 and it was Valentine's Day." Bloom said making sure that Stella knew that the twins were kids at the time. "Flare had an issue with a classmate and knowing his temper he let it escalate." Bloom said which caused Flare to deflate a bit.
"Ok maybe we should calm down." Brandon said splitting them up before things could escalate.
It took a moment, but Flare let out a sigh before backing off. "He's right, I can't let you get to me so easily." Flare said backing off from Riven for the time being.
"So, it's a deal?" Riven asked and thus Bloom heard what Riven said.
"Flare... get him." Bloom said and this the next thing Riven knew was a knuckle sandwich curtesy of Flare's right hook. It was enough to knock down Riven as Flare smirked to this.
"That's going to leave a shiner." Flare boasted with a smirk on his face. Riven meanwhile was getting back up and was glaring at Flare as the red-haired rider was dusting off his hands. Riven got back up but instead of retaliating Riven roared and stormed off much to the groups shock.
"Riven!" Sky called but Bloom stopped him from going after him.
"No, Brandon." Bloom said to keep Sky from going. "Just give him time to cool off." Bloom said and in turn the group watched as Brandon stormed off. During all of this Tinkerbell flew out and saw the whole scene play out as she looked like she felt a bit bad over how this turned out.
(Meanwhile over with the Trix)
The Trix had arrived in Magix some time ago and were hiding out in an alleyway. They saw how the scene had played out and needless to say all eyes were on Riven. "Hey, did you see that?" Icy asked as she leaned against the wall with her arms crossed.
"This guy has personality and muscles I like him." Darcy said as she smirked at the attitude Riven has.
"Watch your mouth, Stormy!" Darcy snapped glaring at Stormy.
"Hey, keep your bickering for later we got a job to do remember." Icy said reminding her sisters why they were here. "And this little falling out has given me an idea." Icy said as the girls listened to what she has to say. "Riven always wants to be the best he's brash moody and he really hates losing." Icy said as this had one thing to add. "This makes him come to blows with Flare every single time." Icy added which her sisters began to see where this was going. "We have the power to fulfil his dreams." Icy said which got Stormy thinking.
"It shouldn't be too difficult to get him to come over to our side, preferably before our partners find out what we're doing." Stormy said before a new voice spoke up.
"Too late." Came the voice of Azhura as he stepped out from the shadows. "I must admit you Witches demanded we interfere and here you are going behind our backs... naughty." Azhura said as he had arrived to do is part in this joint union.
"We can explain." Stormy said ready to act if he gets violent.
"You plan to drive a wedge between the groups, correct?" Azhura asked fixing his suit calmly. "A clever plan but you'll need to find a way to keep both sides from suspecting." Azhura said surprising them. "Perhaps I can be of assistance in that regard." Azhura said ready to act as well.
"You want to help us now!?" Darcy asked shocked by what she heard.
"Yes, first I will need you to summon your pet troll." Azhura said as he then pulled out a mask. "And then we will work to drive that wedge between the two sides." Azhura said holding the mast to his face as it shifted to that of Techna for a moment before reverting.
"Oh, I see now. Very well… KNUT!" Icy call out for the troll as he suddenly appears before the group in a flash of purple lighting and said, "You highness?"
Knut turn to the group not realizing that a member of magiddo was there when he was summoned as he said, "Ahh, What can for or you good sir?"
"You will soon find out," Icy said as she give a wicked smile as Knut said, "Oh-no your highness. Oh, please have mercy. Pretty please."
"For a troll, your pretty cowardly. Just shut up and do as your told!" Azurha said as Icy smile to him and said, "Exactly my thoughts."
At that moment Icy raise her hand in the air as a bright magical light shine from it before it engulf Knut transforming him into one of the Ridex members, Timmy but without glasses with Icy give one last adjustment of adding glasses to Knut disguise form as she said, "There we are. Perfect."
"Oh, I can see," Timmy/Knut said as he adjusted his glasses a bit, no doubt having trouble seeing as a troll who has to wear glasses due to his poor vision is strange enough, as Icy said, "And now listen carefully."
(with the girls and boys)
The group were enjoying the festivity before the race as the group was watching a man juggle large rings in the air before spinning them on his arm as Stella look over to Bloom and Flare as she said, "He good, hu?"
"Eh, nothing new to see. Me and Blood went to fair and a traveling circus that had performers that does similar stuff there," Flare said as he remember his first show seeing a man do amazing stuff with rings, even juggle a bit, as then Sky soon points out, "Hey look over there, a fire eater?"
The girl and Flare looked over to a guy on a table with a plate of fire before him and a fork in hand as he took out a piece of flame and ate it as if it were real food without burning his mouth as Sky look over to Flare and said, "I bet you never see anything like that before."
"Well, it is impressive to say," Flare said he didn't want to bring up magicians doing similar tricks on earth as well, I mean it was not real magic, but it comes close of imitating the real thing at times with the right tricks and illusions, but still pretty impressed that people with magic can also do stuff like without resorting of using tricks, as now that he thinking about it as he put his hand to his chin and said, "I wonder."
"Don't you dare think about it flare," Bloom said as she saw the look on her own brother as he said, "What I didn't say anything just yet?"
"Yeah, but I know what you are thinking at times, and there no way you're going to try that," Bloom said as she drag Flare away as they move onto the next performance as Flare said, "Alright already."
After a while as the group was slowly splitting apart as Flare and Bloom attention was caught by a song play by a group of people, as the twin walk towards it and saw it was a girl with a mask on her face and long light fabric all around her flowing in the wind as the girls dance, as the twin keep watching, before the danger girl turns to them to their surprise to see the dancer taking a similar stances they remember seeing as an phantom imaging of the girl within their dream that appear before them, as it seem she was calling out for them, "Bloom, flare!"
Flare shake his head a bit as he backs away, trying to figure out what is going on with him unaware he left his sister behind still watching the dancer girl, as Flare could still remembers that woman's voice in his head as if she were trying to reach out once more, "Flare."
"Who are?" Flare asked but then a new voice cut in catching him off guard.
"Flare." The voice of Techna was heard and in turn Flare turned and saw Techna had his arm.
"Techna? If you're looking for Timmy, he went home." Flare said to the Fairy of Technology.
"It's fine, I was wondering why you're out here by yourself?" Techna asked as she looked to Flare. "Everyone is looking for you after you disappeared." Techna said which made Flare raise a brow to this.
"Sorry I just zoned out there." Flare said scratching his head as he wondered what had caused that. "How long has it been anyway?" Flare asked wondering where the others went.
"Come on we should head to the square." Techna said guiding Flare to the Square knowing that was where the Race was.
"Yeah, I need to get ready." Flare said knowing that he had a race to win.
The duo walked as Flare yawned a bit. Techna was not one for conversations if Flare recalled so he didn't have to worry about talking to her. But unless he was Timmy Flare was not good for conversations with Tekna. "Bloom and Stella told me how you had a disagreement with Riven." Tekna said as Flare shrugged to this.
"Yeah, he's an asshole but I can keep up." Flare said with a smirk on his face. "He's still peeved how a commoner like me can catch up." Flare said with a smile on his face.
"I can see why, you two seem to always be at odds." Tekna said seeing how Flare and Riven were practically enemies.
"Meh I can take him." Flare said with a cocky smile on his face.
"Be that as it may, I can't stand the idea of him holding something over you." Tekna said as she then pulled out an item to present to Flare. She opened it up and presented it to the Swordsman. "It's a surprise I been preparing for some time." Tekna said giving Flare the item as he looked at it.
"What is it?" Flare asked as Tekna then put the headgear on Flare's head. She then pressed the button and in response the headgear turned into a helmet.
"It's an omni drive helmet it allows the rider to drive the bike telepathically." Tekna said as Flare pressed the button freeing his head from it.
"Huh this will really give Riven a run for his money." Flare said with a smirk on his face. "If it works, I might ask you and Timmy to make a helmet for the Speedy Diego." Flare added as he put the item away.
"I might consider it." Tekna said before looking at the time. "Oh, dear I need to leave just one word of warning don't tell anyone I gave it to you." Tekna said and in turn she ran off.
"Wait why can't I?" Flare began but alas Tekna was already gone. Seeing that he was short on time Flare knew he had to go as well. "Well, I better bolt." Flare said and thus he headed out to get ready for the race.
(Meanwhile back with the Trix)
Tekna arrived at the Trix's hiding spot and reverted to Azhura as the Meggido yawned a bit. "It's done." Azhura said as he walked towards them.
"Good, Knut should be back soon and when he does his part we can act." Icy said with a smirk on her face.
"Yes... we shall." Azhura said with a bored tone in his voice.
"I need to ask... why are you helping us seeing as you and your cohorts seem to be peeved with us?" Stormy asked curious as to why the Meggido wanted to help.
"You have your secrets and we have ours." Azhura said waving off the question given to him. "Let's just say we seek a power greater then you ever thought possible." He finished before he noticed someone approaching. "And speaking of seeking it seems your pet troll has returned." Azhura said as Knut came back still in the form of Timmy. As Azhura smiled he let the Trix deal with their minion as he knew the next part things will certainly start popping.
(Later over at the Racetrack)
"Ladies and Gentlemen and all other creatures welcome to the annual Race of the Rose!" The announcer began as he rose up on a hover platform as the cheers already began. "Our courageous participants will partake in today's events!" He went on as screens rose up to display the race. "Let's hear it for our champions!" The Announcer finished as the racetrack was seen with the racers preparing to race.
Flare was in his Specialist, attire as he moved his bike to the starting zone. As he pushed his bike, he smiled a bit ready to see what his new helmet can do. Just after the announcer had done his whole trip for the Race of the Rose Flare heard a new voice call out from behind him which got his attention.
"Flare!" Sky was heard and thus Flare looked and saw his friends and Riven heading his way.
"Hey guys what did I miss?" Flare asked with a smile showing that he was ok.
"We've been looking all over for you." Brandon said seeing that with Flare here they can now focus on Bloom. "Have you seen Bloom?" Brandon asked and thus Flare stopped as he was wide eyed.
"Bloom is missing?!" Flare asked shocked at what he heard.
"Yeah, Stella and I lost sight of the two of you in that crowd earlier." Sky said which was bad for them. "We're going to have to hurry this up if we want to find her." Sky said as Flare then saw Stella approaching them.
"Oh, good you found Flare." Stella said happy to see that Flare was ok.
"Please tell me you found Bloom." Flare said worried for his twin sister.
"No sorry." Stella said as she knew what Flare would do if he thought Bloom was in danger.
"Oh, there you are." Bloom was suddenly heard causing the group to all look and saw Bloom was coming towards them.
"Bloom!" Stella cried out shocked and relieved to see Bloom was ok. "Goodness Gracious where were you?" Stella asked as she wanted answers. "We've been looking everywhere for you." Stella said almost like she was scolding Bloom on Flare's behalf.
"And I was looking for you." Bloom said as it seems that there was nothing to worry about. "Where's Riven?" Bloom asked which surprised Flare when she asked that.
"Probably up ahead sulking from the knuckle sandwich I gave him." Flare shrugged and in turn Bloom saw him and began to make her way over to him. But as she left Flare noticed something Bloom was holding and recognized it as the same item, he got from Tekna earlier. 'Wait isn't that?' Flare wondered before he tried to voice it. "Hey, wait, Bloom where did you?" Flare managed to ask but he went unheard by his twin sister.
"Flare you, ok buddy?" Sky asked as he looked to his friend with concern.
"I'm not sure, Brandon." Flare said reminding himself to keep Sky's secret.
(Later at the starting line)
The Racers were soon at the starting line as flare prepared to ride. "So, guys about we make this interesting, last one to the finish line buys dinner." Flare said as he got ready to roll.
"Oh, you are so on." Brandon said ready to roll out.
"I wouldn't be too cocky." Riven said and thus flare was surprised to see that Riven now had the same helmet that he did.
However, before Flare could question it Bloom's voice was heard. "Brandon, Flare!" Bloom was heard before flare and Sky looked over to Bloom. "You two be careful and good luck." Bloom said giving them a smile and a thumbs up.
"See you at the finish line." Sky said smiling back at Bloom.
"Yeah, only after you've eaten my dust." Flare boasted ready to start the race.
"All racers to the starting line!" The Announcer called out as Flare smirked to this.
"Show time." Flare said as he was ready to roll.
(Meanwhile with Bloom and Stella)
Bloom and Stella were amongst the spectators as they knew the race was about to begin. "What did you give Riven?" Stella asked as she noticed that Bloom had given Riven something.
"I'll explain later." Bloom began assuring Stella she'll get her explanation. "It was a present from Timmy." Bloom said but this left Stella confused.
"Timmy?" Stella asked confused by that revelation.
"Yeah, he gave it to me a few minutes ago." Bloom said with a smile on her face.
Stella was confused and shocked since she knew there was one plot hole with that. "Are you sure your feeling alright?" Stella asked with concern for Bloom. "Timmy went home for the Day of the Rose he's nowhere near Magix." Stella said which surprised Bloom.
"But that's impossible, and if it's true, who was I talking to then?" Bloom question as slowly she was getting a bad feeling as bloom looks around for a bit until she sense dark energy, as she look up top of a building seeing the Trix with their troll, and that guy she remember that was with the Trix during the time of the ball, which meant only one thing, Megiddo is here as Bloom said, "Oh no."
(the race)
"These are the light signals gentlemen," the announcer said as he point out to the starting lights as the first one turn on giving out a loud beep sound.
(the crowd)
Bloom was trying to get through the crowd of people as fast as she can as she call out while getting by, "Excuse me. Sorry!"
"Bloom!" Stella call out as she sees Bloom running off somewhere as they were supposed to watch the race together as she hurry herself to catch up as she put a hand on her shoulder and said, "Bloom, what going on hu?"
"I've been tricked Stella, look the witches are here and that guy with him, he apart of magiddo! I've seen him before outside of the school during the ball" Bloom said shocking Stella as she wonder why they are here?
(the race)
The second light came on with another beep sound here as everyone rev up their engine a bit as Flare had looked over where his sister and Stella was at to see them gone and wonder what happen to them as he was suddenly get a bad feeling himself, but there not much he can do as he quickly turn his attention back to the track as the third light turn on.
(the girls)
"Wait bloom!" Stella try to stop Bloom from rushing in as she knew they can't handle this and want to get the boys to help before the races started but Bloom was too stubborn as she said, "They're up to something! They pretended to be Timmy"
(the race)
The revving got louder and louder as Flare focus himself on the race itself to see if he can get a strong start to this race as soon as all three lights turn green with a louder and longer beep sound was heard, giving the signal to start the race as all the racers went off.
Flare got ahead of his friends as the goal is to be ahead of them and not behind, as he may not be aiming for first place, but if he does that too would be a nice bones, with Riven coming up behind him as he growl a bit seeing Flare ahead of him as he got to the side of him and give his ride a bit of a smack with his ride against flare's own runner causing Flare to close control a bit as he call out, "Hey!"
"Catch you later loser!" Riven said as he speed off with other racers following behind as Flare grit his teeth, stabilize himself, and revved up his engine to try and catch up as he won't let Riven get away with that cheap move.
(the girls)
"But how" Stella question to Bloom earlier statement as the turns got around to the side of a building as it seem Bloom wasn't running to the Trix and Azhura were at, but to the other side of the track as Bloom said, "I don't know but I have to stop riven before it's too late, and there's is only one way."
"Wait bloom, why stop riven?" Stella question as Bloom said, "Because the Trix gave me a helmet that I gave to Riven."
"His helmet, wait. I think I saw Flare with a similar helmet like Riven!" Stella said as Bloom eyes widen as both girls knew that both riven and Flare are in danger as they quickly went to the side of a building and started their transformation as Bloom said, "Bloom Magic Winx!"
(Bloom)
Bloom claps her hand with an orb of light forming before she swipes it away and cross her hands with flames forming on Bloom's body forming her outfit.
The fire Spread across her chest before her butterfly like fairy wings form with a mini tiara forming last.
(Stella)
Stella performed a small dance jog with her hands doing a double peace sign before she went to the next phase of her transformation. Following it up her outfit began to form around her body while her hair was pulled into twin tails. It allowed for her wings to fit perfectly on her back between the two tails.
Soon enough Stella was ready in her fairy form.
(the race)
Turning a corner as a mysterious rider with long hair waiting a bit to join the race as some of the racers drive by, the new racer joins in and blended in with the others like they belong there with the new rider use magic to create a sound wave that throw off some racers behind them as they crash before they focus their attention on the racers ahead that Flare was near as he notice something in his mirrors as a racer raise their hand and fire a sound wave at them as Flare quickly took action as he got out of the way before he was hit with the riders that were near him crashes, before he said, "I guess it's time to try out some new spells I learned from Professor Gol."
Raising his hand as he calls out, "Sounpa barrier!" with that a red barrier of sort surrounding him as the sound wave hit him, but there was no effect as the barrier cancel out any force and sound that would hit him before it vanish with the rider behind him saw this and knew who it was as they keep close behind Flare with Bloom suddenly flying above trying to catch up to Riven unaware she just flew over her brother as he saw her and call out, "Bloom?!"
"Flare!" A voice call out to him as he turn to see Stella as well as he said, "Stella? What are you and bloom doing?"
"There's no time to explain, you need to take your helmet off!" Stella said as she try to explain to him but the rider behind him had other ideas as they said, "I don't think so fairy!"
The rider firing off a sound wave at Stella, as it hits with a purple aura around her while her, she cry out before falling back and into the crowd area as Flare yells out, "Stella!"
He watch as stella landed in the crowd safely, as flare sighed in relief to that, before he looks back at the rider behind him and get a good look at who it was, see through the visor to see Darcy's face as he said, "The Trix, I should have known. What are you and your friends up too?!"
Darcy didn't say a thing as she revved up her engine with a bit of a turbo boost in her ride as she speed pass Flare as he said, "You're not getting away that easy!"
Flare revved the engine and sped after Darcy to try and stop her. Zooming his way towards Darcy his entire focus was stopping her from doing whatever it was she was about to do. Flare weaved through the other racers as he tried to reach towards Darcy. They soon reached the other racers as Flare saw Sky up ahead. "Sky!" Flare called out and once more Darcy let loose her attack which caused Sky's bike to come to a sudden halt.
"What's going on?" Sky asked when his bike was hit and soon saw Darcy zoom past him followed by Flare. The rider kept the chase up as he knew whatever Darcy was doing was not going to be good. Soon enough Flare saw Bloom was ahead of Darcy as he got worried for her. Revving the engine Flare kept going focusing everything on catching up forgetting Stella's warning from earlier.
"Come on, come on." Flare growled as he zoomed after Darcy who was going for Riven. As they kept the speed up Flare hands were turning white as he seemed to zero in on his goal. But just as Bloom got close Riven sped up putting distance between himself and Bloom. Flare kept going unaware of the trap about to spring.
The next thing Flare knew a surge of pain went through his head from the helmet. Flare cried out in pain as he grabbed his head to try a vein attempt to sooth it. Meanwhile Riven was in the same state as Flare as both riders were losing control of their bikes. Bloom was forced to zoom past Riven as Darcy got closer to him.
It didn't take long for Darcy to bash into Riven and send him flying off his bike as she rode onward. Flare unable to control his own bike hit Riven's downed by and was also sent flying off from the impact.
Bloom saw this and panicked as she saw the two were about to hit the ground. "Flare!" Bloom cried out and flew towards her brother catching him in her arms. Darcy meanwhile had done a U-turn and managed to catch Riven on her bike before he could hit the ground. Flare was limp in Blooms arms as they were both out of sorts from the crash.
"Flare!" Sky called out as he saw Flare in Blooms arms. "What happened to him?" Sky asked worried for his friend.
"What happened to Riven?" Brandon asked pointing towards Riven.
"I don't know they just lost control of their bikes." Bloom said as she put her brother down and pressed the button on his helmet to free his head. Flare was out cold as Bloom saw her twin brother was hurt. "Flare wake up! Flare wake up!" Bloom cried trying to shake her twin brother awake.
"Oh man." Sky said worried for Flare.
"Bloom!" Stella called out as she flew in and saw the state Flare was in.
"Stella Flare is hurt!" Bloom cried out and thus Stella got down to it.
"Here let me." Stella said and thus began to apply her magic into Flare. When she did so her Solarian magic spread through his body causing it to glow as she worked in healing the damage Flare had endured.
"Is he going to be, ok?" Brandon asked as he looked to Flare.
"Don't worry Sky he'll be fine." Stella said as she intended to help Flare. "But I need you to check on Riven." Stella said as she knew Sky (Who she thought is Brandon) needed to be here to comfort Bloom.
"On it." Brandon said and thus he ran off to check on Riven to make sure he was ok.
"Flare be ok, please be ok." Bloom begged and in turn Flare eyes began to twitch.
"Bloom... if I die... then I need you to go to my room where I have a box hidden under my desk. Use your magic to burn it." Flare said in a tired and annoyed tone.
"Flare!" Bloom cried and then proceeded to hug her brother causing him discomfort.
"Owowowowowow sore! Sore! Sore!" Flare cried out causing Bloom to yelp as well and let go.
"Sorry." Bloom apologized as she saw she may have touched some of Flare's bruising.
"Its fine... just one question... did I win?" Flare asked as Bloom chuckled a bit to this.
"You participated." Stella said seeing Flare was still his old self.
"Crap." Flare cursed knowing that meant he lost. Then again as long as he crossed the finished line before Riven, he can walk away happy.
But when Flare tried to get back up Bloom put her hand against him. "Easy Flare you took a nasty fall." Bloom warned urging her twin brother to not strain himself.
"I'm fine just sore." Flare said as he began to get back up with Bloom helping him out. "And last I check I'm supposed to be looking out for you." Flare said seeing that somehow their roles had switched somehow.
"And last I checked you always said how nothing can stop us as long as we're together." Bloom said as she recalled how Flare would say that whenever she had her doubts. Flare smiled to this as he stood straight but then the twins saw who was with Riven at the moment.
"Darcy." Flare growled when he saw her.
"That witch." Bloom also growled and in turn the twins went over to give Darcy a piece of their mind and get her away from Riven.
"Wake up Riven," Darcy said as she using her magic to heal him before casting a spell on him which cause him to wake up as he groin a bit before he said," Y-you saved me."
At that moment as Darcy took off her helmet, she was without her witch make up and such, while shaking her head with her hair flaring around a bit, giving off an aura of a beautiful girl of sorts to Riven as he started to get up with Darcy's help as he said, "I feel alright."
Surprise that he was fully healed and such as Darcy said to him, "Thanks to my healing powers. My names Darcy."
(the other Trix)
Seeing the scene from above a story looked engross by it as she said, "Disgusting."
Icy seem to agree as well as both of them turn and about to walk off as Azhura look to them and said, "Hey where you two heading off? Aren't you going to stick around and watch the show?"
"We would but, we just had enough of this stuff. You can do whatever you want, not our concern what you and your friends do," Icy said but in truth she didn't want to be near them, as the aura they gave off that she feel when she near them is fearful, as she didn't understand why she felt this way but she knew the magiddo are not to be trifled with unless she is prepared to face all 3 of them and at the moment, she nor her fellow witches would stand against them, not unless they have something of great power, as with that she and Stormy vanish as they teleported out of there quickly with Knut realize that his Mistresses' are gone as he quickly ran off to catch up with them leaving Azhura alone.
"Well then, I better get ready for the final act," Azhura said before his form shift a bit showing off his beast form for a moment.
(down at the tracks)
Riven was getting himself in order with Darcy touch his shoulder until a sword was put in between them as it was flare that did it while also being help standing with sky's help as Flare call out, "Step away from him witch."
"What are you doing? I was just helping him," Darcy said trying to act innocent as Flare said, "Yeah, after you cause the accident."
"You're lying," Riven suddenly speak up as he came up to them while taking off the helmet Bloom gave him as he points out at him and Bloom," This is your guys fault! I saw her behind me. I don't know what she did, but she deactivated my helmet just so you or her boyfriend can win!"
"Hey, I won by default," Sky said defending himself as he was mostly the only racer left that didn't crash or was attacked with Flare said, "Not to mention, I'm wearing the same kind of helmet you have as well."
Taking off his head piece showing it but by the look of it, it was partly destroyed, like something malfunction on it, blew up a bit with expose wires that could be seen to his stock to see his gear as it is, as Riven said, "More like a piece of junk to me, unlike this that your sister gave me!"
Riven took off his head piece and throw it at Bloom while saying, "Here's your stupid present. Thanks a lot!"
"Hey!" Bloom cry out which Piss off Flare as he grab Riven by his collar and said, "What the hell your problem!? First you try to get me to bet my sister to date you, now this?"
"Get off me of!" Riven said as he pull Flare hand off his shirt before punching him in the face as he fell back with a bit of blood coming off his lip as everyone shock by this as Stella went down to him and started helping him as she said, "Flare your bleeding."
"Ah great," Flare said as he wipe away the blood with Stella started healing him again as Bloom said, "Why did you do that? He did nothing wrong. IT was the Trix. They sent a Timmy lookalike to give me the helmet. It was all a dirty trick"
"Timmy won't be back until this evening. Come up with a better excuse," Riven said as Flare got up and said to him, "Not the first time I've meet or heard of fake doubles, or did you forget I told the team that the witches have powers over illusions?"
"Oh yeah, how about you prove it," Riven said as he was not listening to reason as sky said, "Come on Riven, there is always an explanation."
"So, you believe them over me? IS that the way it is, is that the way it is Brandon?" Riven said while saying Brandon in a mocking tone while also almost sound like a threat as well saying he not afraid to tell who he really is as Flare, "Hey how about you chill out. If you can't understand or accept the situation, why are you bothering to be a specialist?"
"I had it of understanding, as tonight I'll ask to be transfer to another squad of specialist," Riven said as he walks off with Darcy following behind him as she said, "Wait riven I'm coming with you."
with that as they walk off leaving the group by themselves as Bloom started to cry a bit as she said, "I swear it was one of the witches tricks."
"We know bloom, we know and don't blame you," Flare said before he groin a bit in pain as he move his jaw around and said, "Damn it, he got me good with that punch."
"Try to relax, I'll do what I can to heal you up," Stella said worrying about Flare's health a bit but before the group could go anywhere a loud thud could be hear behind them as they turn around and be surprised by Azhura as he said, "What do we have here? a Couple of fairies, some specialist, and a pathetic swordsman rider."
"Guys watch out he with Magiddo!" Bloom warn the boys as Flare try to pull out his SworDriver, but Sky put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Flare wait, you can't fight in your condition. I'll face him myself"
"And you can't fight him alone" Flare said as he and the others have no idea how powerful the Magiddo really are, especially a ringleader as Sky said, "Don't worry I got myself covered."
Pulling out two books right off the bat of Lion Senki and Peter Fantasy as he place his SworDriver on as he said to Brandon, "Sky, take Flare and the girls out of here and call for help just in case."
"Got it!" Brandon said as he went over to Flare and help him up and get him out of the way with Stella and bloom helping as well as they were out of the way with Azhura said, "Ha, you think you can face me along, your highness?"
Speaking in a mocking tone as Sky said, "I'll do what I can. On my royal blood I will defeat you."
At that moment as he open up both book as they call out at the same time, "Lion Senki/Peter Fantasy!"
Tinker bell joined in by Sky knowing her power would be needed to help in this fight as Sky insert both book in the middle and left side of the Driver before it started to jingle.
(Start Henshin)
Sky find himself inside of a library with a whirlpool of water below him, with a large book of Lion Senki and Peter fantasy came forth from below as its splash some water around, as sky grip the handle of his sword before pulling it out activating the Driver.
"NAGARE UNLEASHED!"
Sky held his sword in both hands as he takes his stance before yelling out, "Henshin!" then slash horizontally, send out an arc of water out, with both books behind him open up with a blue lion came forth running around him and Tinker Bell flew around as well.
"Nagare: Volume II!"
"Behold the shining Lion Fantasia!" the books announce as soon enough as the lion and Tinker bell join with Blades armor formed with the lion head in the center while his left side form a new armor piece with a hook.
(end henshin)
Blade was ready to fight with Azhura as he smile and said, "Good, I was waiting for this."
At that moment he soon change into his real form, Zooous, as he growl a bit with Sky took a fighting stands ready to fight him as Zooous said, "This is going to special, as I have the honor to take down another blades."
"Wait, you fought with the riders before?" Sky said as blades while sounding shock by this, and surprise to hear there was another blades before him, but then again from the stories Flare had told there was another saber before him, no doubt these sword would transfer over to new owners once they found a worth one as Zooous said, "What does it matter, as in the end, you going to die!"
He charge at Blades as he attacks him with Blades defending him against the attacks as he use his sword to block it before countering with some slashes, but they blade make a spark against Zooous as he grabs Blade sword and throw it to the side and started bashing up Blades a bit as sky cry out a bit before getting thrown back.
Rolling across the ground Blades used the momentum to get back on his feet but was then attacked by Zooous once more who grabbed Blades by the neck before sending attacks towards his midsection and then kicking him away. Zooous was dominating this battle as the Meggido was more powerful than any of the previous ones the Swordsmen had faced.
"I was going to face Saber, but you will have to do I suppose." Zooous said as he walked towards Sky who had taken quiet the beating.
"I'm not done yet." Sky said as he forced his feet back under him only for Zooous to move in and easily knocked the Kamen Rider around. Sky then pulled his Phantoblade and swung the weapon at the foe. Instead, all Zooous did was move around it, grabbed Blades arm, and forced the arm to bend uncomfortably. Sky cried out in pain before he was tossed aside by Zooous who was clearly playing with his opponent.
(Back with Flare and Bloom)
"Brandon is getting destroyed over there!" Stella cried out as she saw the amount of damage Sky was enduring.
"We have to do something." Flare said as he was going to jump in only to be stopped by Bloom.
"Not so fast mister!" Bloom snapped pushing her brother back down. "Your hurt!" Bloom said making it clear that Flare will stay put or else.
"Hey, I'm the only other swordsman here with Amud out of town someone has to do it." Flare growled but then Stella joined in.
"How do you expect to help if you can't even lift a sword." Stella added making sure that Flare stayed put.
"Flare for once let me be the overbearing protector." Bloom said as she loved her brother for all his flaws but this time, she needed him to stay put for his own wellbeing.
"But." Flare said but before he could say anything a new voice cut in.
"I'd do what she says youngin." A man's voice was heard as the trio looked and saw the new arrival. "This isn't your run of the mill Megiddo." He said as Flare noted the book, he had on his person one that had a turtle on it.
"Wait your..." Flare began but was unable to find the right words.
(Back over with Blades fight)
Sky was tossed aside once more but weakly got back up as the Meggid seemed to yawn at how easy Sky was to deal with. It was clear that the creature was starting to get bored with his foe. But the Zooous had to give Sky credit for his Moxy if anything. "And you keep getting back up." He taunted as he saw the Swordsman before him.
"Hey, I'm not that easy to keep down." Sky said with a smile on his face hidden by his helmet. But he was exhausted despite his confidence tone.
Sky then made a weak punch towards Zooous only for the Kaijin to catch it and flipped Sky over before sending him sliding across the ground. "This is pathetic truly it is." Zooous said as he approached the scene expecting more from this Rider. "I do need to make an example of you to show those witches that the job can and will be done." Zooous said ready to end Sky by hoisting him up by his neck. Sky struggled to get free from the Kaijin's grip, but he was trapped. "Alas your kingdom will have to produce a new heir." Zooous said and in turn prepared to end up.
However, that came to a stop when something hit the Kaijin commander in the side of his head. "Huh?" The Meggido asked looking to the source and saw that someone had arrived carrying a large weapon wrapped up in bandages.
"I suggest you drop the kid right now." The man said shouldering the unknown weapon that seemed just as large as he was. He was dressed in a fine suit under a long duster with armor around the shoulders, hips, and arms. He was middle aged as Sky saw the new arrival with shock.
"No get out of here! Go!" Sky called out as Zoous scoffed at the new arrival.
"I'd listen... you might live longer." Zooous said only for the foe to smirk and charge in. With a frustrated sigh Zooous held his hands to his eyes before he proceeded to send energy blasts at the foe. The new arrival blocked it with his concealed weapon which deflected the shots while tearing through the bandages. He then brought the weapon down much to the Meggids shock and send him flying back.
Sky fell but was caught by the new arrival who smiled at him. "You ok youngin?" The man asked as he looked to Sky.
"Uh... yeah." Sky said with a nod which the new fighter nodded.
"Good." The new swordsman said as Zooous got back up.
"Impossible the only way that could happen is... a Sacred Sword?!" Zooous gasped at the end as the bandages fell off the sword revealing the new sacred sword.
"The Swords of Logos send their regards." He said pointing his weapon at the foe. He then proceeded to open the book and when it did the name was heard followed by the books title.
"Genbu Shinwa!"
"There Once lived a beast with an impenetrable shell known across the land as one of the four sacred Guardians!"
With the announcement made the man lowered his massive blade before inserting the book into it and when he did the tune for the weapon began. The world then shifted into library as the man then cracked his neck before a massive version of the same book landed behind him. He then pulled the trigger on his weapon causing the Wonderride book to open.
"Genbu Shinwa!"
The blade began to glow as the man swung it around with stones and rocks surging around him. Shouldering the weapon, he got ready to do what was needed as a stone wall formed in front of him. "HENSHIN!" The man invoked and thus brought the sword down cleaving it in two.
"Cleave with one Strike!"
With that the man began to be surrounded by shards of a turtles shell.
"Divide the lands!"
With that the man was soon covered in the stone and shell pieces that began to shift into his armor.
"RUMBLE! RUMBLE! GEKIDO, THE SWORD OF QUAKES!"
The armor formed and with it a new Kamen Rider had arrived, Kamen Rider Buster. His orange eyes flashed to life as he began to take a battle stance.
"Gekido: Reissued! The Sword with indestructible armor splits the earth, as it asserts the supreme might of the North!"
Kamen Rider Buster glared at his foe ready to take him down here and now. It was clear by the way this man carried himself calm collected and with the upper hand he knew what was needed to be done. Zooous glared at the enemy before him knowing if he was not careful, he was as good as dead. But it seems the Rider was not playing around as he took the Wonderride book Genbu Shinwa and scanned it on another part of the sword Gekido.
"Genbu Shinwa!"
"Rumble!"
Buster raised his mighty cleaver with both hands preparing to end this in a single blow. Sky saw the power burning and knew he had to duck and cover fast. Buster was ready and thus prepared to bring the attack down on his foe. "Grand Judgement!" Buster invoked and thus brought the attack down.
"INTENSE GEKIDO SPORADIC SRIKE!"
Earth magic formed around the sword turning it into a massive version of it that Buster swung at the Meggido. Acting fast the Meggido blocked the attack as best he could, but it was too great for him to hold on. Zooous was soon bashed into the wall where it shattered upon impact. Buster smirked at the victory but had to be sure the fight was over. Making his way to the shattered wall he found not his target but only ruble.
"Dammit." Buster growled seeing the enemy had escaped.
"That was incredible." Sky said as he reverted to his base form bruised but still breathing.
"No that was luck, youngin." The man said as he also reverted to his civilian form shouldering Gekido.
"Who are you anyway?" Sky asked as he was curious wondering to whom he was talking.
"Just call me Royce and as for who I am exactly... you'll see soon enough." Royce said as he took his leave of the prince. Despite everything today ended up as a draw the good guys lost this round and didn't even get a wonderride book to show for it.
(Scene Break the Next Day)
The Next day at Red Fountain Flare and Sky were sporting some bandages while sitting in class. Timmy and Amud had returned from their visits home and were told about what had happened.
"Wow you guys really took a beating." Timmy said feeling bad he wasn't there to help his team.
"And it seems Riven has felt it best for himself to transfer to a new squad." Amud said as he suspected this would have happened what with Flare and Riven always at odds with each other.
"But that Meggid it was strong." Sky admitted suspecting that whatever it was, it was likely powerful.
"Then we get stronger." Flare said as he got the groups attention. "There are still Wonderride Books out there and if we can get more, we can get stronger." Flare said to his classmates. "I mean Red Fountain is the school of Magician and Heroics we're training to be heroes." Flare said as he then smirked a bit. "So that means it's our job." Flare said with a smirk adorning his face.
"Right." Brandon said as it was clear all for one and one for all.
Just then the door opened and thus the class got in attention. It was a rolling rumor that one of their instructors was retiring an old geezer not like Salazin. Apparently, this was supposed to be the teachers first day in the establishment. But what surprised the group was the fact that it was the Swordsman from yesterday, Royce AKA Kamen Rider Buster.
"Hey class I'm your new teacher, Royce." Royce introduced with a smirk on his face. "I hope you Youngins are ready because class is now in session." Royce said with a wide smile on his face. The Riders in the class could only stare wide eyed at the man before them. Life at Red Fountain was certainly going to become interesting in the coming days.
(TBC)
ESKK: Another chapter has been done. This had been a long time coming but me and my co-writer are both happy it was finally done. Now then please be sure to leave a review for us before leaving. However, before we leave there are some issues that need to be dealt with. Mainly issues from both this site and DeviantArt. We have been dealt with a great number of bot scammers attempting to rip us off for money. Trying to hack our accounts and what not. I suggest that you all black these alleged people. Scammers will NOT be tolerated here. Even if it seems the person is legit do NOT take their offer. Their scam is the same as always copy and paste of saying how our fics, 'inspired them,' and then attempt to rip us off with fake contact information. DO NOT TRUST THEM. Now then I'll see you all in chapter 11 and again I say, ja-ne.
