A new ally?
In her stall within the black market, Alyssa is selling her products with the help of people that are apart of merchant company.
"Hmm, things seemed to be doing good." Alyssa mused as she examine a piece of paper that have numbers written down on it.
"I should-"Alyssa began to thought but was cut off as her audio-only communication device began to glow.
Alyssa raised an eye-brow, becoming curious as to who could be calling her.
"Someone's calling me." Alyssa told her workers, which cause them to nod their heads.
The merchant moved to the back of the makeshift stall and turn the communication device on.
"Alyssa Celeborn speaking." Alyssa spoke into the communication device.
"It's me, Sebastian." The person known as Sebastian introduce himself, making Alyssa widen her eyes.
"You took your time, I was beginning to worry since you haven't been contacting me, especially now of all times and where you are living." Alyssa commented and she could sense Sebastian frowning slightly.
"I can't just openly contact you." Sebastian pointed out, making Alyssa nod her head.
"True. So are you just contacting me just to say that you two are okay?" Alyssa asked, becoming curious.
"An ally of the current rulers of the Spade Kingdom has been making strange actions. The person goes by the same of Cupiditas, a Megid." Sebastian explained, making Alyssa widen her eyes slightly.
"He's actually caused some trouble within the Clover Kingdom a while back." Alyssa spoke and she could sense Sebastian's frown deepening.
"That is something you should have told me earlier." Sebastian said in annoyance.
"Is there anything you want me to do such as sending you a Magic Item…..for a small fee of course." Alyssa explained, causing Sebastian to snort slightly.
"Not exactly. I was wonder if you could contact the Magic Knights or someone with similar authority." Sebastian explained, causing Alyssa to raise an eye-brow.
"You want to offer your service to the Clover Kingdom?" Alyssa asked as she became confuse, knowing how Siegfried usually likes to operate.
"Well, someone persuaded me to offer my service." Sebastian responded, making Alyssa nod her head, having an idea as to who this person is.
"I'll do what I can." Alyssa said, knowing that there is a big chance that Sebastian request will be rejected.
"Thank you. I should better end the call, it could already be getting traced." Sebastian said before swiftly ending the call.
"…...A goodbye would have most appreciated." Alyssa muttered in annoyance before releasing a sigh.
"Now then. How should I go about this?" Alyssa questioned herself, knowing that the Magic Knights of the Sword of Logos would be too focus on training.
After a few seconds, an idea started to appear in Alyssa's head.
After a few minutes, Alyssa is making her way towards the Headquarters of the Magic Knights.
"Lets hope that this will work on the first attempt." The merchant thought as she started to see the building just up ahead.
"Halt!" One of two stationed guards called, causing Alyssa to stop walking.
"State your business, Commoner." The guard spoke, which cause a tick mark to appear on Alyssa's forehead.
"Does he think that I'm just a lowly Commoner?!" Alyssa thought in annoyance before calming down and clearing her throat.
"I am Alyssa Celeborn, a sponsor of the Sword of Logos Magic Knight squad. I wish to speak to the Wizard King about a potential ally for the upcoming war. Or at least his assistant." Alyssa explained in a calm tone of voice, knowing that she wouldn't be able to have a face-to-face meeting with the "Wizard King" himself.
The request caused the guard to raise an eye-brow.
"…..I'll go and contact him for clearance." The guard responded whilst becoming curious.
"Thank you." Alyssa said and the guard started to speak into a communication device.
"I wonder how things will turn out?" Alyssa thought as different scenarios appeared in her head.
After a minute, the guard switched off the communication device.
"The Wizard King is currently out at the moment, but you will be able to speak to his assistant." The guard said, causing Alyssa to nod her before the guard started to escort her to the Wizard King's office.
After a few minutes of walking through the corridors, the two of them arrived at a door whereupon the guard knocked on it.
"Come in." A voice responded, causing the guard to open the door.
"Alyssa Celeborn." The guard said to Marx.
"Thank you." Marx said, making the guard to bow before stepping to the side, allowing Alyssa to enter the room.
The merchant's eyes glanced towards a slightly opened door.
"I'm sorry about Sir Julius's absence. He commonly takes his time to make his way around the Clover Kingdom and personally see how the citizens are coping, especially now of all times. I am his assistant, Marx Francois." Marx introduced himself, making Alyssa nod her head.
"Even if it means avoiding the paperwork!" Marx thought in annoyance before clearing his throat.
"So the guard informed me that you have a potentially ally for the Clover Kingdom to have in the upcoming war." Marx said, a small smile appearing on is face.
"That's correct. I received a call from the person, known as Sebastian Nix-Alba, who explained that the Megid known as Cupiditas has started to become more active." Alyssa explained, causing a small frown to appear on Marx's face.
"That would be expected, considering what the Miss Shindai from the Sword of Logos has suggested." Marx muttered before looking back at Alyssa.
"So because of this, this "Sebastian" person suggested about allying himself with us?" Marx guess, making Alyssa shrug her shoulders slightly.
"The idea itself has been suggested to him by someone else actually." Alyssa responded, making Marx sweat-drop slightly.
"However, there are some complications with Sebastian that may effect your final decision….." Alyssa said, causing Marx to raise an eye-brow.
"What sort of complications?" Marx asked, becoming curious.
"Well…." Alyssa said before explaining.
"Brrrr. It sure is cold." Mimosa commented as she shivered slightly.
"Do you want to take a break and warm up, Mimosa?" Klaus asked, becoming concerned.
Currently, she, Yuno and Klaus are doing patrol work on the boarder of the Clover Kingdom.
Even though the plan is for a six-month training period in preparation for the joint invasion against the Spade Kingdom, the Clover and Heart Kingdoms are keeping a close eye on their respective boarders in case the Spade Kingdom decided to launch an invasion of their own, or the Megids decided to make a move.
Fortunately, nothing has happened as of right now, but everyone is still on guard in case anything does happen.
"No thank you, I'll be fine for now." Mimosa responded in reassurance.
"If you say so…." Klaus said, although the Golden Dawn Steel Mage is still concerned for the Vermillion haired girl's well being.
With Yuno, the host of Sylph has his vision fixed in the distance, Grimoire at the ready.
Mimosa began to hum slightly whilst gaining a small frown on her face.
"Is there something on your mind, Mimosa?" Klaus asked, noticing the frown.
"I was just wondering if there is chance I can talk to Asta's grandfather and grandaunt." The Vermillion haired woman responded, causing both Klaus and Yuno to become surprise.
"Who?" Yuno asked, not sure if he heard Mimosa correctly.
"Asta's grandfather and grandaunt. I heard from Leopold that there were present during an exercise. Didn't you know?" Mimosa asked, tilting her head to the side.
"No." Yuno responded, gaining a slight confused expression on his face.
"…..I did heard about new training instructors have appeared, but didn't took too much interest on their identities." Klaus explained with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"According to Leopold, the two of them where former members of the Sword of Logos and it was Mereleone who contacted them." Mimosa further explained.
"Lady Mereoleone was the one who contacted them?" Klaus repeated in a surprise tone of, making Mimosa nod her head in response.
"Are you interested in seeing them, Yuno?" Mimosa asked as she glance towards the Golden dawn wind Mage.
"…..I suppose it would be interesting to see members of Asta's blood family…." Yuno responded, yet the two other members of the Golden Dawn Magic Knight squad noticed a distant look in his eyes.
"Is Yuno….thinking about his own blood family?" Mimosa thought, starting to feel guilty about bringing up the topic in the first place.
"Yu-!" Mimosa began to say, but was cut off when she and the other two suddenly felt the Mana appearing.
"This Mana…." Yuno and Mimosa thought as the two of them realized that they felt this dark-like Mana before.
"I think that it's coming from down there." Klaus said as he glanced towards a forestry/rocky area.
Before long, the three Golden Dawn Magic Knights landed on the ground and climbed off their brooms, whilst Klaus himself deactivated his steel-chariot based spell.
"Plant Creation Magic: Magic Flower Guidepost." Mimosa announced, creating a flower-like construct which then produced a hologram on the surrounding area.
"What can you see, Mimosa?" Klaus asked as he glanced over his shoulder as he and Yuno got themselves ready in case the three of them are suddenly jumped on.
"I can't see anything on this." Mimosa responded as she studied the hologram map, but couldn't see anything.
"So the person/persons are able to hide their proper location." Yuno summarised as he glanced at the surrounding trees.
"It would seem so…." Mimosa responded with a slight troubled expression on her face.
"You two seemed to be behaving differently to the type of Mana." Klaus pointed out as he studied his fellow Golden Dawn Magic Knights….. and for some odd reason he gain the sense this type of Mana before.
"That's because we've sensed this type of Mana before." Mimosa said.
"Its the Mana that would belong to a Devil." Yuno added, making Klaus to widen his eyes.
"It must be that the elf spirit that took over me must have been in close proximity of Demonic Mana." Klaus thought, gaining a frown on his face.
"So a Devil is close by then." Klaus commented, becoming tense. Yuno became tense himself whilst Mimosa glanced around, becoming slightly nervous.
It was at that moment that clapping his heard, causing the three Golden Dawn Magic Knights to jump slightly.
"That's a good guess, but unfortunately, no Devils are present." A voice spoke just as the Golden Dawn Magic Knights turn around towards the source of the voice to see a person sitting on a tree branch.
"Who are you?!" Klaus demanded as got ready to cast a spell if need be.
"I'm not sure if you've been told about me, but I am Cupiditas." Cupiditas introduced himself whilst jumping off the tree branch.
"No, we haven't been told about you." Yuno responded in a blank tone of voice, causing Cupiditas to sweat-drop.
"I thought that the whole Devil Believer incident would have caused the Sword of Logos to spread the word about me. I guess that I was wrong." Cupiditas muttered in a sight hurt tone of voice.
"Anyway! I'm glad that I've managed to run into you three, Magic Knights of the Clover Kingdom." Cupiditas said, causing the Golden dawn Magic Knights to become on guard.
"What do you mean by that?" Mimosa asked as she deactivate her "Magic Flower Guidepost" spell.
"Well, I was going to enter the Clover Kingdom to perform a test run, but you guys being outside the boarders make things more easy for me." Cupiditas said just as numerous Shimis appeared.
The three Golden Dawn Magic Knight's eyes widened as they sensed the Demonic Mana coming off them.
"You're an ally to the Megids." Yuno stated as he glanced around, observing the Shimis.
"Wow. You guys sure are lacking in information. I'm almost hurt." Cupiditas commented before transforming into his Megid form.
"He's a Megid himself….?" Mimosa thought before she and the others watched as Theke's sword and shield appeared.
"What sort of "test run" are you talking about?" Klaus asked as took in the design of Golden Sword/Shield.
"I believe that you've noticed by now that these shimis possess Demonic Mana. Well, I decided to imbue the Shimis with Demonic Mana and see how well they do in actual combat. But since you three possess large amount of Mana, I think it would be best if I joined in as well." Cupiditas explained before taking out "Imperium Twin".
"A Wonder-Ride book?!" The three Golden Dawn Magic Knights thought at the same time just as Theke placed "Imperium Twin" into Golden Sword before he removed Golden Sword from Golden Shield.
Unsheathe the sword and shield!
When Golden Sword is powered by the twin founders, its mighest blade will force the world to bow down to its Emperor!
Golden Sword/Shield of Power!
The voice announced and Cupiditas became clad in armour.
"You're Kamen Rider as well?!" Klaus exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.
"That's correct. I'm Kamen Rider Spatha, the swordsman of gold." Spatha introduced himself, a smirk appearing underneath his helmet.
"Gold?!" Mimosa exclaimed, she and the other two becoming stunned.
"That's right. Is there something wrong with that?" Spatha asked in mock curiosity.
"Yes there is! What do you think we are called!?" Klaus demanded, making Spatha shrug his shoulders.
"If you want to complain, then you should talk to your captain. He is the one who created the name in the first place." Spatha pointed out, and Klaus was about to say something, but closed his mouth.
"Anyway. I'm getting bored, time to begin." Spatha said as he point Golden Sword forwards, causing the numerous Shimis to charge forwards.
"I'll deal with Spatha!" Yuno said as he dashed forwards whilst activating Spirit Dive and "Spirit of Zephyr".
Spatha raised Golden Shield just in time to avoid getting hit by the green blade.
"So you're the current host of Sylph's powers that I've heard about." Spatha commented before hoping back slightly.
"What about it?" Yuno questioned as he closed the gap and swing Spirit of Zephyr.
"Nothing really." Spatha responded as he blocked the incoming attack with Golden Shield again.
"But maybe you should be careful when fighting with pure Mana against me." Spatha pointed out, causing Yuno to raise an eye-brow before starting to notice how Spirit of Zephyr is starting to break.
"What?!" Yuno exclaimed in his before quickly moving back.
"Golden Shield is capable of absorbing Mana. So yeah, you're not suitable of fighting me." Spatha pointed out before swinging Golden Sword, releasing an slash of Mana towards the Golden Dawn wind Mage.
With easy movement, Yuno managed to dodge the attack before pointing the blade of his green sword at Spatha.
The swordsman of gold became curious before a tornado spun around Spirit of Zephyr which then shot forwards.
Spatha raised Golden Shield, but was easily blown back.
"That's some serious Mana behind that attack!" Spatha thought as he felt Mana entering Golden Shield before his feet landed on the ground, but continued to move.
Whilst the swordsman of gold attempted to stop himself, Yuno suddenly appeared whilst having Spirit of Zephyr mid swing.
"Oh gr-!" Spatha began to say, but was cut off as Spirit of Zephyr struck him, causing the swordsman of gold to receive damage.
"These footsoldiers are difficult to take care of!" Klaus thought as used a combination of his "Steel Castle Armoured Wall" spell and "Violent Rotating Lance" spell to fight against the Demonic Mana enhanced Shimis.
However, his attacks doesn't to do very much damage to them.
"And that Megid says that this is supposed to be a test run." Klaus thought before glancing over his shoulder to see how Mimosa is doing.
Currently, the Vermillion haired girl is standing some distance away with her "Magic Cannon Flower" spell and attacking any Shimis that approached.
Luckily, her attacks seemed to deal more damage than Klaus own attacks.
"We need to deal with Shimis as soon as possible that we can help Yuno." Klaus thought as he glanced towards the battle against Yuno and Spatha and saw how the host of Sylph is having some difficulties due to the absorption abilities of Spatha's weapons.
"How long can we keep this up?" Mimosa thought with a concerned expression on her face.
Throughout the battle, the Vermillion haired girl have been using large potions of her Mana to deal enough damage to keep Shimis at bay, but even she can feel her limits approaching.
"No! I need to keep on going, regardless of my limits. That what Asta will do." Mimosa muttered, a small smile appearing on her face.
However it was at that moment that crunching sound is heard, causing the Vermillion haired woman to perk up before spinning around.
Her eyes widened when she saw a few Demonic Mana enhanced Shimis have managed to sneak behind her.
"Mimosa!" Klaus exclaimed, him also noticing the Shimis sneaking upon her.
Upon instinct, Mimosa quickly moved back whilst shifting the head-piece of "Magic Cannon Flower".
However, before Mimosa should perform any sort of attacks, one of the Shimis swing their sword, releasing an slash of Demonic Mana which cut off the vines of her spell.
"Oh no!" Mimosa exclaimed in horror.
"I need to help Mimosa!" Klaus thought as he prepared to rush to Mimosa's aid.
However, it was at that moment that something struck the Shimis, causing them to fall onto the ground.
"Hm? Ice...No, Very sharp snow!" Mimosa thought in a confused tone of voice as she glanced down and saw fragments of razor-sharp ice sticking out of the Shimis.
"You're okay?" A voice suddenly spoke, causing Mimosa to look up to see a male with black hair and blue eyes with a calm expression on his face.
The clothes that he's wearing is designed to protect him from the cold that include a black fur coat that has light blue/white colouring.
"Y-yes. I'm okay." Mimosa responded, becoming on edge at the newcomer.
"Whose he? An enemy?" Klaus thought, starting to become concerned for Mimosa's safety.
"Oh? What are you doing here?" Spatha questioned, him and Yuno also noticing the newcomer's presence with the swordsman of gold seemingly recognizing him.
"Hmph. I was simply tracking your movements." The male responded, causing Spatha to tilt his head.
"And then what? Planning on watching these Clover Kingdom Magic Knights getting beaten?" Spatha questioned just as the male noticed the knocked down Shimis shuffling slightly.
"What my next actions are is of no concern of yours." The male responded before taking out an object that the three Golden Dawn Magic knights recognise.
"You're-!?" Mimosa began to say as she and the others watched as the male open the cover of a whitish-blue Wonder-Ride book which as the image of an armoured figure fighting a dragon underneath the title of "Dragon Slayer".
"The daunting battle between the lone man and the evil dragon…."
The voice announced before the male closed the cover and placed the Wonder-Ride book into a belt buckle, causing a standby sound to start playing.
Everyone watched as the male then take out a sword handle that is done in a whitish-blue colour from his Grimoire.
"Where's the blade?" Mimosa thought in confusion as she and the others watched as the male raised the bladeless handle up to his face.
"Henshin." The male spoke before slamming the handle down on the button on the belt buckle, causing both versions of "Dragon Slayer" to open.
Release the blizzard!
The voice announced just as dragon made from ice burst out of the pages before flying around the male and then merged with him.
Snow Sword Arekurufuyu!
Cracking White-out!
The frozen sword shall cover the land in a freezing tundra.
The voice announced and the male is now clad in heavy whitish-blue armour with black lining. His helmet consists of beast-like teeths for a guard and a deep blue visor which seems to be glowing in an eery fashion. The once bladeless sword handle now possess a blade that is pure white in colour.
"Kamen Rider Gram, the swordsman of snow." The now known Gram introduced himself as silence seemingly descended upon the area.
And here we go, a new segment of the 6 month training arc as Alyssa is contacted by a new character known as Siegfried whilst Yuno, Mimosa and Klaus encounter Cupiditas for the first time, who has started a new experiment, along with the new swordsman of the story, Kamen Rider Gram, an OC idea given to me. To get a better picture, the design for the armour is similar to that of Saber's Dragonic Knight form.
In Gotchard:
1) As Spanner focuses on creating a new Driver, with Lachesis having found him, Gigist appeared and persauded him to join him so that Spanner can make his black flames more power, yet he refused. With Houtarou, he visited the Ichinose Kitchen to check up on his mother, after him and the others having been chased by people who oppose the existance of Chemies and Alchemy, but found Geryon instead who explained how gold follows the concept of eternity whilst humanity waste their time.
2) Back with the Valvard and Gigist, the Dark King overpowers Valvard, which included a small help from Clotho, yet was teleported away. When consumed by the black flames, Spanner steeled his resolve, changing the colour of the flames to silver along with completing the once-incomplete Driver, letting Spanner to transform into his new metalic form, Valvard Kurogane.
3) With his new form, Valvard defeated Gigist, but the Dark King's fragment of the Philosopher's Stone was taken by Geryon who also killed Lachesis. The next day, Geryon makes the final preparations for his grand plan of transforming the world into gold and when the others arrived, he used the fragments of the Philosopher's Stone to create the the Eldora-Driver and with the (EX)El Dragon Chemy Card, transforms into Kamen Rider Eld and revealed that his first victim is a gold covered Minato.
And there we have it, the final battle is approuching with Geryon's plans close to completion and with the Dark Sisters, only Clotho remains with the death of Lachesis, who I thought would remain alive with her transformation into a human. With Valvard's new form, I like the metalic look to it, but I don't like how robotic sounds are heard when he moves.
Please review and until next time.
Howard576:
1) I suppose that's true, but at least Ekrixi and Shan had the opportunity to observe the current generation of Magic Knights. As for a chapter dedicated to Richita and Acier, I'll think about it.
2) That's true, it will take some time for Noelle to truely forgive Solid and Nebra for their past actions, especially this story's version of Noelle.
3) Geryon has certainly became a cold-hearted person to achieve his goal of creating a golden-covered world.
4) I suppose for a Kamen Rider based on sweets will probably makes things confusing until the series starts.
