> Kamen Rider Saber EG Volume 1 > by Blaze-saber > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prolong > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to a small house on a hill and when going inside we see an odd looking man humming to the tune. This man had green hair with a pink hat on his head, he dress real fancy and had a birds nest on his shoulder. When he turned he noticed you reading this story and smile. "Ah, well hello there." Said the man. "You must be wondering who I am? Well my name is Tassel and I guess you can say I'm a storyteller. And this is a story about a girl and her friends, along with a young man with blue hair, are about to take an adventure of a lifetime." Tassel walked over to a bookshelf and pulled out a book with a giant sword on the cover. "lets start with two little girls playing together in amazing place where all world stories go and come to life, this place is called: Wounder World." He said before he opened the book and as if you were being pulled into it, we are in the book and we see two little girls playing on hill top. One girl was purple with glasses and had pink strip in her hair, the other was white with yellow hair,and her eyes were light blue. Both girls wore dresses with stars on them. The one with glasses had a six point star while the other had a four point star. The two were chasing a ball of light that was floting. As you look more closer, the ball of light is really a small fairy glowing bright pink. "Come on Twilight and Star! You got to go faster than that to catch me!" Said the ball of light, and if you look a bit closer, you can see it's a fairy. "Oh, you are going to get it now! Twi,dragon split!" She called out to Twilight, who nodded and ran in a different way and out of site. The fairy looked back and saw only Star chasing her. When she looked forward, Twilight was infront of her and got her off garde that both girls was able to catch her. "Got you!" Both girls said. All three laughed as they fell down to the ground. A couple of hours have pass as the three sat under a tree and was reading a pop-up story when a boy with blue hair and white skin came up the hill wearing a shirt with a shield with a star in it. When Twilight saw him, she put down the book and ran to him and hugged him. "Shining!" Twilight said. "Hey Twily, I guessing you, Star,and the little fairy had fun?" Shining ask. The fairy flew right up in his face. "I call chests, they ganged up on me!" The fairy complain. "It's called a strategy." Star state. They all just giggled for a bit before Shining spoke up. "Well in any case, it's time to go home. Mom and dad sent me to get you two." The girls were sad for a bit, but knew they had to. The fairy had to go home as well. After they said their goodbyes, they went home. As we pull back, we see more of this world. There was this giant stone sword and bubbles floting everywhere and everywhere you look, you can see multiple fairytales, the ones you used to read as a little kid. This is Wounder World, the place where all the world stories go and become real. As the trio walked, Star couldn't help but get a bad feeling, like something terrible is about to happen. Twilight noticed this and was going to as her what's wrong, right before a blast from nowhere startled them. They looked and saw monsters attacking and a armor man leading them. The kids had no choice but to run and hope they can get away. As they ran, the man in the armor rasied his sword and then slashed it to create a vortex that started to pull in star. Shining grabbed hold of a lamppost as he hold on to Twilight and as she try to hold on tight to Star. "HELP!!! TWILIGHT!!!" She cried out with fear "STAR!!! HOLD ON!!!!" Twilight called out with so much concerned. Star was slipping as the vortex was sucking her in stronger. Tears was falling from both the girls, and then Star lost her grip and was sucked into the vortex. The vortex closed and Twilight was crying so much because she lost her friend. Shining hugged her tight as the monsters came closer. Just then a wave a flames blocked the monsters path. A woman with white skin that looks like a older version of Twilight and a man with blue skin and hair and a sword with a red emblem on it ran to them, these were Twilight and Shinning's mom and dad. "Twilight, Shining, are you both okay!?" Velvet asked her kids with concerned. As she checked her kids, Night Light was slashing down each monster to keep his family safe. Twilight didn't answer her mother because she was crying over the lost of her friend. Velvet saw her daughter and hugged her. Night Light neal down for he was tired from fighting off the monsters. He saw the armro man was getting closer and Night Light knew what to do to save his family. "Velvet, it's not safe here! Take care of our kids and be safe!" Night Light yelled out before he raised the sword. Velvet knew what he was going to do. Before she could stop him, he stabbed the ground and a red dragon appeared as the flames grew bigger and a vortex opened up and his family was being pulled into it as Twilight called out to her father. "DADDY!!!" She shouted before everything turned white as she black out. A teen Twilight woke up in her bedroom from the dream she had. "Twilight! Is everything okay?" Asked Spike. She looked and saw her pet dog, Spike. It's a long story as to why he can talk. "I'm fine Spike, I just had that dream again. You know, the one I keep having on my birthday." Twilight said. (To herself) "why do I keep having it on my birthday?" It has been 12 years, and today is Twilight's brithday. She can't remember what happened to her father so long ago and Shinning and Velvet never spoke of it. But every year on her birthday, she keeps having the same dream. To her playing with some girl and a ball of light to seeing her father fighting some monsters. Since she was young, she never made a friend and she never knew why, that wasn't untill the friendship games against CH and her old school CP. She meat Sunset Shimmer, and her friends there, plus she found out that Sunset was from a different world and a other her, Princess Twilight, was also from that world called Equestria. After the games, Twilight transfer to CH and her new found friends gain magic powers and had great adventures together. Little did she know, that to day is going to be something that will change her and her friends lives forever. Then the book closed and Tassel looked to the readers before he spoke. "It's sad to start the story, I know. And it was just the beginning. I hope you all will enjoy the rest of this chronicles of Kamen Rider Saber." THE STORY BEGINS > Volume 1, chapter 1: Unleash the Flames! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight got ready for the day, as she did she continued to think about the dream she had and wounded why she kept having it every time it was her birthday. When she was finished, she and Spike made their way down stairs and into the kitchen where her mother is there and just finished cooking Twilight's birthday breakfast . "Happy birthday twilight,I made you your special birthday breakfast!" Twilight kissed her mom. Then her older brother, Shining Armor, came in with something in his hands. "Happy birthday Twily, here's your birthday present." He said. He hands her her present and it was a new book. Ever since she was young, Twilight loved books. She didn't know when or why she loved books, and every time she read one she could feel like she was in a different world of the book she was reading. "Thank you Shining, I always wanted this book." Twilight thanked. The book was titled "Clover the Clever and the stone of Memories" and Twilight giggled a bit as this book reminds her from when she, Sunset, and their friends had to destroy the memory stone that Wallflower had. A couple years ago, Shining got engaged with a woman named Cadence. She was Twilight's babysitter when she was younger and the two were like sisters even before Cadence married Shining, and now they are sisters-in-law. And a few months later, the two had a baby girl named Flurry Heart. She was named that because on the day she was born, it was flurry snow that day "Isn't your friends waiting for you at the mall?" Velvet asked while taking Twilight's empty plate and washed it with the rest of the dishes "Oh right, thanks mom, see you later. You too Shining and tell Cadence and Flurry Heart I said hello." She said. She kissed her mom on the cheek and gave Shining a big hug, then she and Spike went out the door but then she stop and remember that she forgot her bag. So she told Spike to sit and wait for her to get back with her bag, when she came back in she herd her mom and her brother talking. "Shining, I told you before like last year. We can never go back and Twilight is not ready, after losing your father, she might not handle it." Velvet said. "But mom, she has been in the dark for to long and she can't remember what happened years ago, not dad or Star. Don't you think it time we come clean and tell her?" Shining asked. Velvet stop washing the dishes and just sigh. "Shining, even if we do tell her, we can't get back without the book. And I'm scared if we do, he might come after us like before." Velvet said with a very sad and scared look on her face when she said that. They had no idea that Twilight herd the hole thing and was now more lost than ever. She quickly grabbed her bag and left without letting them know she was there. When she got out, standing outside and holding Spike was her boyfriend, Flash Sentry. It's a long story about how they got together. Her old boyfriend, Timber, and her didn't have that much in common and just decided to just be friends. But Twilight had been sad when they broke up, but Flash was there to comfernt her and one thing lead to another and then before you know it they just happen. "Hey Twi, are you okay? You look sad." Fash asked. "I'm fine, lets just get to the mall." Twilight said before she took Spike from Flash and got into his car after putting Spike and the book Shining gave in her bag. Flash care for Twilight and didn't want to see her sad. He hopes the surprise he and her friends have planned will cheer her up. In a unknow location There was a amro figure was standing a room full of books and a machine that looked like it was making some books out of sort of dark energy. The amor man was purple and black and had sliver plates on his chest and on his right shoulder was a black dragon head. It was the same amro man that attack young Twilight and Shinning Amro and took away Star so long ago, Kamen Rider Calibur. "It is time to begin." Calibur spoke in a dark tone that could send a chill down your spine. Then he took a black book on a table and gave it to a man near him "I will begin the first page." Said a man in a black robe with a red shirt underneath. Twilight and Flash were in his car driving to the mall, along the way he asked her what was really wrong. She told him what she heard from Shining and Velvet when she went to go get her bag. They were hiding something from her, something that her mom was to scared to tell her. "Twi, if there's anyway I could help figure out what it is your mom is trying to hide, you know I would and so would Sunset and the others. We all care about you." Flash reminded. "I know Flash, I know." Twilight said with a smile on her face. Even though it was not going to be easy, she knew she can count on him, Sunset, and her friends to help get thought it. Just then, Spike popped up from her bag with a small red book in his mouth. "Spike, what do you got there?" Twilight asked before she took the book from him and looked at it. On the cover, it had a dragon on it that was breathing fire and the title of said book read,"Brave Dragon" and for some reason it felt familiar to her. "Wow, never seen that kind of book before. Did your brother gave you that?" Flash asked. "Oh no, Shining gave Clover the Clever and the stone of Memories. I had this book when I was young, but I don't remember when or where I got." Twilight said. Flash parked his car in the parking lot at the mall. Then they both got out and saw Sunset and the others outside waiting for them. Each of Twilight's friends gave a "happy birthday" and a present. Twilight could never asked for better friends and boyfriend, but this happy moment is about to take a turn for the worse. On a rooftop somewhere, overlooking the mall where Twilight and her friends are. The man with the Alter Ride Book was there and open it, unleashed and created a monster. The Gensekiou Golem "You have been chosen to connect the world." Said the man before he hands the golem a blank wounder ride book and it knew what to do next. "Thank you girls, this is the best birthday I had ever had." Twilight thanked her friends. "You bet your classes it is! I had this plane since day one, so you're welcome." Pinkie pie said after popping behind her out of nowhere and made Twilight jumped for a bit. It's Pinkie Pie, don't question it. "It an't no problem sugar cube, what are friends for?" AJ replied. "I must say darling, that dress I made for you for the school dance will make you look fantastic!" Rarity complement "And the time we went to the game room inside was an awesome time. Even though Fluttershy keeps getting the high score on some of them." Rainbow dash stated "Oh my, I didn't really think I was that good, I'm sorry if I showed off if I did." Fluttershy said with concerned. "It was still fun Fluttershy, heck, when I invited you to my playthrough on that game, I was really impressed." Sunset completed "Well, the day's not over yet, you still have one gift left." Flash said before he hand Twilight a rectangular shape present. When Twilight unwrapped it and it was a photo of her and her friends, the first one since they became friends and it was framed, with two six-point stars on two corners and two hearts on the other two. Twilight hugged Flash after seeing her gift. And when they were about to leave, both Twilight and Flash noticed a little girl crying and alone. So both of them went over to her to see what's wrong. "What's the matter?" Twilight asked. "I'm lost, I can't find my mommy and daddy." The little girl said said while crying. "Hey, it's okay. Tell you what, we can help you find them to cheer you up." Flash comfernt the little girl. The little girl stop crying and looked to the two and smile to them. Twilight hold the little girl's hand and the three went off to look for the girl's parents. As the golem looked down at the area and then open up the blank book and suddenly a giant phantasm phenomenon of the book appeared in that large area, shocking the citizens that were in and out of it, including Twilight and Flash who were in it and their friends who were outside of it. The little girl saw her parents and run to them but was stopped by some invisible barrier and couldn't reached them. Sunset and the others try to get through but couldn't. Just then, the pages of the giant book flipped around and transport those who were inside somewhere else. At a different location. The main villain group was watching a floting bubble that was showing them what was happening and how their plan was doing. Calibur was one of them in the group. "Now then, time to accomplish of the new alter book with darkness on it." Calibur said as he turns looking to hand written device that started to be writing the words on the book to do the works. With Twilight and Flash, they had to cover their eyes after the giant book flapped its pages and when it was over, they saw that they, along with the citizens who also got transported, were no longer in their world. What they all saw, put them in awe. There was a giant stone sword, where everyone can see and bubbles floting everywhere. Twilight saw this meany times before, from her dreams on her birthday. They were now in Wounded World. "Twilight, isn't this your dream? Because, this looks exactly like how you describe your dream." Flash asked. "Yeah, it is. I'm just having a hard time believing it myself." Twilight replied. She was so distracted by all this, she didn't notice a pink ball of light floting around and spying on her. Just then, the little girl started to cry again and that snap Twilight out of it. Both her and Flash check on her to see what's wrong. "My mommy and daddy were right there! Where'd they go!? And where are we!?" The little girl asked in a panic. They didn't know how to answer her because they don't know where they are themselves. In the real world "WHERE IN SAMHILL DID THE WHOLE PLACE GO!?" AJ asked in complete confusion. The girls were at a total loss. The mall, the area around it, and the people who were there, even their two friends just disappeared right infront of them. "It could be some powerful threat, that took a little girl so long ago and is from a different world that made the hole place go to another world. A world that is made from stories that make up that world and is protected by swordsmen wielding sacred swords but one of them betray them and is now helping the bad guys that did this! And if they don't beat the monster that is in that other world, Twilight, Flash, and all those people trapped there will be gone forever!" Pinkie said before took a very deep breath after saying all that. Spike was lucky enough to be with the girls when this happened. "Nomaly we would have as you how you can be sure, but given everything that happened to us, we can only hope that you're right Pinkie." Spike state. The little girl's parents were worried sick now, if they weren't before, that their only daughter has vanished before them in some giant book that appeared out of nowhere. Everyone was so distracted and trying to figure out what happened, that they didn't notice a man in blue robes, ocean blue skin, white hair, and dark blue eyes was there and he didn't like the looks of this. So this man pulled out a strange small book and open it and before anyone could see what was happening behind them, the man was gone. In Wonder World Twilight and Flash were looking for a way to get back to the real world and to help the little girl get back to her parents. While they search, a pink ball of light floated around Twilight and it was annoying her. "Shoo you...you...you weird glow fly!" Twilight said while swatting it. " "Glow fly"!? Is that anyway to say hello to an old friend, Twi?!" Said the ball of light. The trio stopped when the ball of light spoke. When they took a closer look it, they saw a tiny woman in that light with fairy wings and pointie ears. It also had bright pink hair and light pink eyes and her tiny dress was made out of pink moss. The little girl was amazed to see a real life fairy, Flash didn't know what to make of this, but the one who was really shocked by this was Twilight. She saw this fairy in her dreams on her birthday and here it is, right infront of her and what's more is that it knew her name. It made her wounder if those dreams were more than dreams. Plus the fairy looked older than it did in her dreams. "How do you know my name?" Twilight asked the fairy "You mean, you don't remember me Twilight? It's your old friend, we used to play together with Star." The fairy said. When it said that last part, she had an image of her, younger and holding on to a little girl who was being sucked into a vortex. After image vanished, it made her wounder why it just suddenly just appeared after the fairy said that name. "By the way, who's the cute guy here?" The fairy asked as she pointed to Flash. Before Twilight could answer the fairy, they all heard people screaming and when they rushed to see why, and when they arrived they saw innocent people running for their lives in panic and fear. Then they saw a purple orb blast hit a nearby building and as it fell apart, it turned into pieces of paper that was burning. "It fell apart and turned into paper?" Flash wounder. Then the fairy screamed and hide inside one of Twilight's pockets. When they looked to where she looked, they saw the reason why she screamed. They saw a monster firing the purple orbs and destroying buildings. All three had both shocked and feared look expressions on them. "What the heck is that thing!?" Flash asked. "It's a Megido!" The fairy said from Twilight's pocket. Then they noticed the "Megido" holding a small white book in his hand and a part of it turned black and corrupted. "Hey, what is that book!?" Twilight asked. The golem chuckled. "Books grant us power! We will use this power to dominate the world!" Golem said. The way he said that just made Twilight angry, that he is using the book to hurt people. And it not only made her angry, but Flash as well. "Now out of my way!" Golem shouted. It fire a blast at them and Flash pushed both Twilight and the little girl out of the way. He dodged out of the way and grabbed a led pipe. Then he charged at the monster and hope that the hit will hurt it. "Books are not supposed to be used like this!" Flash shouted with anger. When he struck the monster, he did no damage to it. The golem just blast him sending him to the ground and hurt. "I had enough with you! This world doesn't need humans! Now be gone!" Golem shouted with rage. He then summon the folding pop open flowers and then the flowers started to suck up everything, even the people that were near including Twilight, Flash, and the little girl. Everyone try to hold on to something as the flowers sucked up everything. And as Twilight hold on to a lamppost and hold on to tight to the little girl, she got that vision again, the one after the fairy said that name. Flash saw that his girlfriend and the little girl was in trouble and knew he had to do something to stop it, so he dug deep to find his courage and to find a way to take out that monster. Just then, the golem continue to attack the city. The fairy saw what was happening, so she flew out of Twilight's pocket and sprinkle some fairydust on a fire hydrant and it broke out of the ground, then the water that spout out of the ground filled up the flower to the point to where it can't suck anymore. When they gather themselves, they found the monster still attacking. "Stop! Bring everyone and this part of our world back!" Flash demanded. The golem looked at them. "I'm afraid, I can't do that." Golem said before he held up the book, that was half covered in black and corrupted. Then he shouted. "This book will soon be complete. And from it, shall emerge the world we envision!" "Worlds created by books? It's true that the books have the power to change the world. But that power is meant to make people happy!" Flash shouted out in anger. "That's right! Books are meant to bring happiness to others, not to hurt them!" Twilight also shouted, but her's was even angrier. The golem just laughed at them. "What can a couple of mere humans like you two know?" Golem asked sarcastically. "Humans are the ones who write books! People have the power to create the stories!" Flash shouted before he charged at the monster with the led pipe again, this time Twilight use her geo and throw somethings at the golem. That took the fairy by surprise when she saw Twilight do that. As Flash strike the golem and Twilight using her magic to throw things at it with no damage to it, Flash try to grab the book from its hand or at least knock it out of it. But the golem swung his fist to smack Flash back, causing him to roll on the ground. "I will return our city back to normal, no matter what!" Flash shouted with determination. The golem was getting furious with this. "That's enough from you!" Golem shouted even more rage. From his head, he launch the hands that were on it at a building causing some rubble to fall on top of Flash. Before it landed, no one saw the red book from Twilight's bag fly towards Flash before the rubble landed. "FLASH!!!" Twilight screamed with so much fear out to him as he was barred alive. Then the man from the real world arrived on the scene and saw that he was to late to save someone but not to late to stop the monster. He pulled out what looked to be a sword scabbert blet buckle and in it looked like a sword sabbard with a blue emblem in the guard. And before he did anything else, both he, Twilight, the fairy, and the little girl saw a red glow coming from the rubble. The rubble started to floating in the air and they saw Flash had survived. And in his hand was the red book, it was the book that saved him. Then the rubble exploded in a shock wave and Flash struggle to get and when he saw the book in his hand, he opened it and the book page reviled the story with in. There was once a divine beast possessing a great power that would destroy everything. As the red book started to be glowing bright before fired out a red fire beams in the sky before forming the flaming dragon and dive down from the sky. Releasing a powerful shockwave of flames and making the golem to screamed and stumbled back from the shockwave of flames. With in the flames was a black sword covered in flames. Twilight saw the sword, it was the same sword her dad wield in her dreams. She also saw Flash walk to the sword and reaching for it, as he winces and moved his hand around for the sword. As he tried to reached for the sword, he felt like it was calling out to him. The red book in his hand started to glow bright and it took Flash to another void. "Where am I?" Flash wounder "You are in a void and conscious where the seconds and minutes are slower than it is in the real world." Said a voice from everywhere. "Who said that!?" Flash asked the voice. "Tell me human, why do you fight? You were reckless and hurt yourself from when you try and fight the monster. So please tell me, why do you fight?" The voice asked. "Because I want to protect the one I love and those who need help. And if I could, I would write books for happiness for everyone, I will fight for the future and hope and fate! I want to stop those who will use this power that monster use for evil! I will bring back the world!" Flash shouted with determination. Flames around him then gathered and took a form of a red dragon. "You amuse me...but you have the proud, noble, and kind heart of becoming a swordsman. You have my blessings to use my power." The dragon said with delight. As Flash returned back to reality, he had a determination look on his face as he grabbed the sword and started to pull it out of the ground. He winced in pain and gritted his teeth and ignored the pain from the burns from the flames as he pulled out the sword. When he pulled out sword from the ground, the flames was being asorbed into the sword and everyone saw that it transformed into a belt. The belt was black with three golden lines on the bottom of it and looked like a sword scabbert with the sword in it and it had three slots on it. Seiken Sworddriver Flash was shocked at first but then he knew that this will help him beat that monster. So he slam the driver on his waist to summon a red belt to wrapped around to fit on his waist. "We will achieve our victory regardless of your actions!" Golem shouted. "I don't think so...I determine how this story ends!" Flash yelled with courage. Brave Dragon He took the book and place it in the first slot in the driver. Then the area around was now a library surrounded by flames, then a giant version of the book land behind him. He the took the sword and yank it out of the driver and extended out and the book opened up to show a rider with a dragon head on his right shoulder. Unsheathe the Flame! "HENSHIN!" Flash shouted before he then swing the sword sending out a X slash out with the flames. And the dragon that came out of the book and the flames merged with Flash and he transformed into a suit of armor. His left side was black with a red line down the arm, the center was white, and the right had a dragon head on his right shoulder and the X slash merge with his helmet that had a sharp sword blade on top. ~Brave Dragon! Rekka: Volume 1. When the dragon of courage and Rekka, the Sword of Flames unite, the crimson blade shall vanquish all that is evil! Kaenken Rekka: the sword of flames! Twilight, the little girl, and the man who witness Flash's transformation was in shocked and awe. Flash transformed into Kamen Rider Saber. The only one who wasn't shocked but excited by this was the fairy. "All right! Saber, the Swordsman of Fire is back!!!" The fairy shouted in so much joy while she fly around in so much joy. Twilight felt like she heard that title before and the sword's name too. "Rekka, the sword of flames, nice to meet you." Saber said when he looked at the sword. Then he took a combat stance. They were still watching the bubble and they were amazed by the arrival of Saber. The only one who was not but angered by this was Calibur, who was tightening his fist when he saw Saber. "It can't be.....Saber." Calibur said in a cold and anger tone. As Saber started to charged at the Golem with the flames cover the sword, he started to rapidly slashing on the Golem in quick speed, with multiple slashes the Golem tried to attack him because it was unable to dodge the attacks, but it screamed in pain. Flash felt like his body was on autopilot, because he never used a sword before and it felt amazing. Saber then swap his sword to his left side and charging towards at Golem before Golem could attack him, but Saber swiftly turns to slash on Golem's abdomen as it screamed in pain. Before Golem could charge and tackled toward at Saber, Saber quickly dodge in time and leap in the air to jump over the Golem and landed on the ground before charging toward with the flame covered sword and slash through on the Golem. As he screamed in pain before growling in anger and glaring toward Saber. Before launching the hands at Saber, he quickly roll the ground to dodge the attack. As Saber continue to fight the Golem, Twilight watched the hole thing and all of it felt so familiar. Including the sword with the red emblem on the sword is very familiar, it was then she released that her dreams were not dreams but lost memories that she forgot because something happened to her, a very dramatic that made her supersede them. "All those dreams, they were memories. But what caused me to forget? And what really happened to my dad?" Twilight thought. As Saber focus on the flying hands in the air, before the hands grabs on to the blade, causing Saber to be pushing in the bit, as he gripped on his sword. Before Saber swing his sword and throwing the hands towards at Golem as it hit him, making him screamed in pain. "Hand over the curse book to us! We're the only one who can control of that power!" Golem demanded. "I don't think so, this is my girlfriend's and she would be upset if I gave it up." Saber joked before he said. "Plus, this dragon in trust me with this power and I'm not giving that up either!" Golem growled in anger, then it took out a nearly complete crupted book before opening the page up. That cause a large page of the giant book to be flip and came down and making Saber yelled in fear, thinking it would hit him but instead it took them to another part of Wonder World. "Eat this!" Golem shouted before slammed his fist down towards on the ground, causing Saber to be floated up in the air alongside the rocks. As Saber dive down and landed on the giant stone sword statue as Saber activated his sword that covers it in flames, as he started to slashing the incoming rocks in the air. He then jumped off the statue and to where Golem is. Before Saber landed on a building with the Golem and swing his sword, sending out a powerful energy flame slash and hit Golem, making him screamed in pain and send it off the building before it rolling on the ground and returned them back to where they were fighting. "I will save everything!" Saber yelled as he pushed the cover of the Brave Dragon book back. Brave Dragon! As power went to his fist, Saber jumped out from the building before throwing a powerful punch and sending out the flame dragon to hit Golem as he screamed in pain and sending him flying, then rolling on the ground in half meter away. Before Saber continue the fight, suddenly all the rocks started to be absorbed by Golem causing him to grow large. This cause him, Twilight, the fairy, and the little girl be shocked by this. "Ehhhh.... That isn't right!" Saber yelled. "That's not fair!" Shouted the little girl. "You be surprised, sister!" Said the fairy. "DON'T CARE!" Golem said as he throws his arm down, attempting to hit Saber, but Saber quickly dodge the incoming punch at him. "It's already began! No one can stop it anymore! No matter what you do, the ending won't change!" Golem yelled out with delight. "Like I said....I decided how the ending of this story!" Saber shouted with so much determination in his voice. He then insert the sword in his driver and pushed the button on the handle. Final Page! He then pulls out his sword, activate the finisher. Unsheathe the Flame! Dragon! One Volume Strike! FIRE! "FLAMING CROSS SLASH!" Saber yelled out the finisher. A red dragon appeared and flew around the giant Golem and Saber jump off it and slashed it until they reached over its head. The Golem return back to normal size and fell down in flames and exploded. After the monster was destroyed, they returned back to the real world and the little girl saw her parents and ran to them. Her parents ran to her too, and they gave each other a big hug. And Twilight's friends and Spike ran to her making sure she was alright and asking her where's Flash and where they go. Twilight pointed to Saber, and when they saw him they were amazed and confused as to who he is. When Saber put the sword in his driver and pulled out the red book out of its slot and he transformed back to Flash and that shocked them to the bone. Shinning Armor was among the crowd, he heard what happened to a part to the city, and when he saw Saber transformed back into Flash he was hoping it was someone else, but he was glad to see her sister was alright. Back at the Megido Base the hand writing device stop writing when the Megido was destroyed. "We can just rewrite the book's continuation." Legeiel said "The other worlds and realms has been connected at all!" Zooous yelled. "Another book near its completed." Storious pointed out "Indeed..... It's seems the lost Sword of Flames has reappeared.... The other swordsmen will now make their move." Calibur said in a cold dark tone. With the girls and Flash at the park Twilight and Flash spent hours of explaining what happened to them and where they were, how they got back, and how Flash was that amro guy. Plus, Twilight told them about her dreams and told them that she thinks that her dreams were memories and she didn't know why she kept having them. She even told them she kept having visions of a little girl that was being sucked into the vortex and her dad with that same sword. "So, you both got transported to a world that was filled with bubbles and there was a monster there saying he was there to make a world and stuff like that? And that small red book saved Flash's life and it granted him the power to beat that monster and get you guys home?" Rainbow dash asked "Yup, that pretty sums it up. Really crazy, right?" Flash stated "I can't believe that you are friends with a real life fairy! I knew they exist!" Pinkie yelled out with excitement in her voice. More so than usual. "Well Ah can't believe it. If it was real, it would have been here with you two." AJ said with disbelief. "Who said that I didn't?" Said the fairy from nowhere. When they all heard the voice, they all looked around to see where it came from. Twilight then looked in her pocket and saw it was there so she pulled her out gently and place her on the table. Everyone, but Flash and Twilight, was amazed to see it here. "And before anyone ask, I got inside Twi's pocket when the giant Megiddo attack. To think after so long, I finally found you Twi and I get to meet your new friends and everything. But, I think you want me to get to know them. So I will, I'll start with the one with the cotten-candy hair, I have a feeling she is a wild one." The fairy said with joy. Before anyone could say a thing, Fluttershy yelped a bit and they saw why she did. They saw, a blue lion right infront of them and what was weirder was that someone was riding it. It was the man in the robe, with ocean blue skin and white hair with light blue eyes and he was wearing the same driver that Flash has. "Who are you?" Flash asked the man who was smiling at him. The Story continues > Volume 1, chapter 2: The Sword of Logos, Unsheath the Current > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to Tassel sitting in his home and when he looks to you he smiles. "Ah, welcome back." Tassel said with joy. "I must say, the events that unfolded for Twilight and Flash was pretty crazy. But what happened again? Oh right." Tassel open a book and we see the events that happened in the last chapter. Tassel spoke while we see what happened. "Twilight woke up from her dream that she keeps having on her birthday, she learned that her big brother, Shining Armor and her mother, Twilight Velvet was hiding something from her. She and her boyfriend, Flash got transported to Wonder World with the little girl who was looking for her parents. The fairy from her dreams found her, but she can't remember her, and a Megido attack to complete what ever they planned. And when it tried to destroy Flash, the wounder ride book Twilight had saved him and the Sword of Flames has reappeared and chose him to be Kamen Rider Saber. And with the Seiken Sword driver and the Brave Dragon book, he transformed into Kamen Rider Saber and defeated the Megiddo and returned them back to the real world, but with a new little friend. But then, a man on a blue lion showed up out of nowhere." Tassel close the book and looked at you. "Wondering who's this man and what does he want? Well, lets begin this new chapter and find out." He went over to the bookshelf and pulled out a new book and open it up. And so we start a new chapter. "My name is Water Surge. But you may call me Surge." The man on the blue lion answer Flash's question. "Now return me Rekka and the wounder ride book to me please." He asked the stun group with shocked looks on their faces infront of him. "Is that...?" Applejack started. "A blue...?" Twilight said in shocked. "Lion!?" Flash finished as the lion growled. "I read in a book that it was polite to introduce yourself after someone asked who you are." Surge staeted. "Did I do something wrong?" He asked "Oh no, darling. It's not that at all." Rarity said. "It's just, well it's your-" she was about to point out before Rainbow Dash shout out. "Dude, your lion! It's freaking us out!" Surge just realise that. "Oh, I apologize!" He got off the lion and took out a small blue book and open it, then the lion turned into pages of a book and vanished in to the small blue book. "I'm still not fully versed in this world yet." As Surge walked closer, the group try to keep their destitens from him. "Guys don't worry, he is a swordsman from the Sword of Logos." The fairy said. "The fairy is right. You have nothing to worry about, you shouldn't feel suspicious of me whatsoever." Surge said with a creepy smile. There was an awkward silence for a bit. "Yeah, I don't think so." Rainbow broke the silence. "You're the definition of suspicious!" Surge cleared his throat as he walked around the pianic table. "The Sword of Logos is a secret guild that has maintained the balance of the world for eons." Surge explained. "The Wonder Ride Book you hold possesses great power." He pointed to the brave dragon book Twilight is holding. "Which makes it very dangerous." "What exactly is this book?" Twilight asked while she showed the book. "I'm afraid I can't say anymore." Surge said. "You might still be in danger, so would you mind handing it over?" He asked while holding out his hand, waiting for her to give him the book. Twilight looked at the book. "I can't do that." Twilight said, making Surge looked at her with a bit of confusion then chuckled a bit. "Perhaps you didn't hear me correctly?" Surge said. "This is something very important to me." Twilight said while she looked at the book. "I'm sorry, but I can't hand it over." Surge was about to say something before that hread something going "Gatring! Gatring!" a couple times before Surge took out a big balkie iPhone and press the green button on it and answer it. "Yse?" He asked the person on the other end. "I understand." He hang up and look to Flash and Twilight. "Please follow me." He asked them. "Guys, I think I know why he asked you to follow him. If you don't trust him, then trust me." The fairy said. Both Flash and Twilight knew they don't know if they can trust Surge, but they can trust the fairy that saved them. So they followed him with their friends behind them. They followed Surge to a small book store and inside was a model train set with small buildings and a small scale model of the book store itself. "Huh, I didn't expect for him to bring us to a book store." Sunset said. "Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle, I'll be using this space." Surge said while he stand next to a bookshelf at the back of the room. He hold up a book titled "Book Gate" and open it up. "Book Gate" The book said when it was opened. Then the shelf turned into a door that open up when the book said, "Gate Opne". "Yay! Magic door!" Pinkie pie shouted with excitement. "This is a Book Gate, not an Magic Door." Surge corrected. "Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle, I've linked this door to our headquarters. Would you both mind coming with me?" He asked the two. "But your friends can wait here." "Say what!?" Rainbow dash said shooting him with a angry look. Surge saw that Pinkie pie was carrying a box full of sweets. Pinkie noticed he was looking at it before he shook his head back to focus. "Shall we?" Surge asked Flash and Twilight. They looked to their friends and they knew they were going to be okay. They then looked at each other before they follow Surge into the Book Gate and the door closed behind them. Surge has the hange of it, but Flash and Twilight was struggling to keep balance threw the portal way that had books around the place. When they finally stopped, they found themselves in a huge library with two giant books next to stairways and a table in the middle of the room with some odd looking computer on it. Flash was surprised to see all this, but Twilight couldn't contain her excitement. "Holy... Holy smokes, this is amazing!" She said out of pure joy. She ran over to the computer to check it out. "I've never seen anything like this!" Surge try to pull Twilight away from the computer. "I understand your sentiments, but please don't touch anything." He said when a bell rang and at the top of the stairways, two bookshelves split apart and a woman wearing a white dress with long black hair walked out from the space that just opened. "I am Sophia, a protector serving the Sword of Logos." The woman introduce herself as she look towards Flash and Twilight. "This northern base is located in the North Pole." "The North Pole?!" Both Twilight and Flash asked in supperis. And it was true, they were in the North Pole. "R-right, the North Pole." Flash said with a smile on his face. "Um, excuse me Sophia, but what is the Sword of Logos?" Twilight asked. "We have been operating from here alongside the swordsmen chosen by the Sacred Swords to protect the book of great power that created this world." Sophia answered. "This is how we've been maintaining its balance." Surge walked closer to Sophia. "Is it all right to tell them?" He asked and she nodded in response. "Books that hold power and swords..." Flash wounder. "That Sacred Sword has deemed you worthy of becoming a Kamen Rider." Sophia told Flash. Flash hold up the Sword Driver with the Sword inside it. "A Kamen Rider?" Flash asked. By hearing those words it made Twilight wounder something. "Yes. Swordsmen chosen by the Sacred Swords go by that name." Surge explained. Flash looked up to Sophia and ask, "What should I do?" "This is a battle that started long ago and will continue into the future without end." She explained. "What you should do can only be dictated by your heart." Sophia told Flash before she turned and walked back into the parted bookshelfs. Twilight looked to Surge and asked, "Who moved the city to another world?" "The traitorous swordsman Calibur, and the Megido, monsters of the manuscripts." He told them. Hearing the name "Calibur" send a chill down her spine. "12 years ago, they stole countless Wonder Ride Books..." He had a sad look on his face like he lost something then looked to his Sword driver. "...and many swordsmen fell to their treachery." Flash and Twilight saw his pain he had on his face. "But I will say this." He looked at the two. "We fight with our lives on the line. It's our destiny to protect the books and maintain the balance of the world." He told them with confidents. Flash was at his home after he and Twilight got back and told their friends what they what they found out and everything. He lay on his bed and looking at the Sword Driver, thinking about what he should do next. He only used the driver to save his girlfriend and the little girl, along with the part of the city. But he felt like it was only the beginning. At Twilight's place in Twilight's room, she was holding on to the Drave Dragon book and thought to herself, "Kamen Rider..." After hearing that word, it made her wonder if her father was one. Since she saw the same sword her dad wield in her dreams, or memory it had to be true. But after what Surge said about Calibur and his betrayal, it made her wonder if her father is still alive. She looked to the fairy on her dresser that's sleeping in a old slipper, since she had nowhere to go. She hopes that this fairy will help her remember her lost past. At the Megido's lar, the hand written device started to writing in a book. This meant the Megidos are at it again. "Things are proceeding well." Legeiel spoke. "A new Alter Book nears completion." Calibur scoffed by this. At the bookstore called "Fantastic Books", Twilight and Flash was there and she hold out the Wounder Ride Book to him. "Are you sure about this Twi?" Flash asked her because he knew that how much this book means to her. "Flash, you need this book to transform. And I trust you with my life to use it to stop the Megido." Twilight said as she placed the book in his hand and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then the Book Gate open up and Surge walked out. "Surge...." Flash called out. "A part of the city has yet to be recovered." Surge told them. "I'm going to go save those people now. What are you plans?" He asked Flash. Flash looked to Twilight who nodded to him telling him to go with him. "I'll come with, of course!" He answered Surge. "This is a huge responsibility that comes with danger." Surge told Flash. "Even so, I want to save everyone!" Flash told Surge with so much confidants. "I understand, but do not worry. I will be alongside you the entire time." Surge told Flash who nodded at his words. The tree arrive at the location where they see a part of the city has disappeared and replaced with a giant book. They see Surg put on a Sword Driver but the sword's emblem was blue and had one curve on it. Then the emblem glow and a book floated infront of them. "A Sacred Sword allows travel to the other side." Surge explained to them. "Not so fast you guys!" They heard Rainbow dash from behind them and when they turned, they saw her and the other girls with her. "Rainbow?! Girls?!" Both Twilight and Flash asked in supperid. "We're coming too!" Pinkie shouted out as the group ran toward them. "Oh, this is not going end well." The fairy said from Twilight's pocket. "H-Hey, wait a second!" Twilight tried to explain but it was to late. The girls crashed into the three into the portal book and its pages started to flipping like a flipbook before closing. Within the part of the city that disappeared, the same book that was outside reappeared and open up to show a its pages and started flipping like a flipbook before the group coming out of it and crashed on the ground. "Ow..." Pinkie said after they crashed on the ground. "Ms. Dash, Ms. Sunset, Ms. Shy, Ms. Pie, Ms. Apple, Ms. Bell... This is no place for any ordinary Homo sapiens." Surge told the girls. "What did you call us?!" Rainbow asked in frustration by him calling them that. "Calm down Rainbow, it's just another way to say human." Twilight explained. "Yes, and running head on into us is-" Rarity intrupt Surge before he could finish lecture them. "What is that?! It's disgusting!" She pointed to the city that looked like it was spit on with asid and they can see the burned pages with in the brunt buildings. "It's worse than before. The abnormalities are reaching the final stage." Surge explained. He then walked up. "Leave this to me." He told the others. "I will show you how to fight." "What an apple picking minute, you can transform too, Surge?!" Applejack asked in surprise. "In the name of Nagare, the Sword of Currents..." Surge started as he step forth. "I will keep this world free from harm's reach." He then hold up a blue Wounder Ride Book that is titled Lion Senki before he opened it up to reveal the story within. This blue mane records anew the wars of a noble king. He closed the book then placed it in the center slot in the driver. The book lit up and he was in a library that was surrounded by water and a giant version of the book appeared behind him as he took hold of the handle of the sword before he yanked it out of the driver. And as he did, the book open up to reveal a blue rider with a lion head on his chest. As did the giant book behind him and a blue lion came out of it. Unsheath the Current! "Henshin!" Surge said before he slashed the sword in a V like slash and the lion merged with him and his armor appeared on him and it was like the one in the book. And the slashed merged with his helmet completing the transformation. ~Lion Senki! Nagare: Volume 1: When the king of the wilds and Nagare, the Sword of Currents unite, the azure blade shall bare its fangs! Nagare, the Sword of Currents. Surge has transform into Kamen Rider Blades and he ready his sword for the battle head. The others were both shocked, supperis, and amazed by this just when Blades dodged and roll out of the way of an attack. When they saw who did that they see an Ari Megid. "Stand down! Stand down!" Blades told the group as he knock each spit of acid that was shot at him by the Ari Megid. When one nearly hit them but hit a pillar they saw it burn a hole in it and they were shocked by it. The Ari Megid continue to shoot acid at Blades but he continued to knock them away with his sword. When he knocked the last one away, he swing his sword around and water formed and he blast the Ari with it that launched it in the air. He then slashed the Ari Megid when he jumped into the air, knocking it down to the ground. When it got up, the symbol on its chest glowed purple and after pages popped out, they formed its minions with swords and charged at Blades who ready his sword. He slashed each and kicked one that got near. He stabbed one, then slashed another straight through it, then knocking the rest down. The Ari Megid charged at Blades while he had his back turned, but he saw it coming and back flipped on to the top of a building. "An Ant Megido... I sense a horde will follow." Blades suspected. And he was right, more did show up. "As I suspected... But that's fine by me." Blades said before he jumped off the building and push the cover of his WounderRide Book. Lion Senki Then a book flipped threw with him standing beside it as he followed along with the book. Water floated around him while he swing his sword. When the water form a lion he cry out his attack. "Lion Wonder!" Then he lunched the blue lion with a slash right at the horde of Ant Megido. The ground the horde stand on got flooded and the lion attack them, they got destroyed when he landed as did the lion beside him as it roared. The Equestrian Girls and Flash was surprised and amazed by the performance they just witness."Awesome!" Both Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie shouted with amazement. "This is but one way to fight." Blades told Flash as he walked to them. "I knew you were strong!" Flash replied. "So much power!" Sunset said, she had seen many different kinds of magic but what she saw really takes the cake. "Yup, that's the power of a Rider from the Sword of Logos." Said the fairy from Twilight's pocket. "And you finished the fight in no time!" Rainbow added. "I'm afraid it isn't over quite yet." Blades side as he hold up his hand. With the Megido leaders, they watwatch Blades fight in a bubble. "The swordsman of water, Blades has appeared." Calibur told the others and they all had smiles on their faces to see this. "Over here, everyone! Don't panic, take your time." Flash and the girls were get some people in a building out and to safety. When the last man ran out, Flash knew what to do next. "I'll make sure to save everyone. I promise." He said as he took out his Sword driver and put it on, then took out the Wounder Ride Book Twilight gave him and open it up to reveal the story within. Then he closed the book then placed it in the first slot in his driver. Brave Dragon The book glowed and like before, he stood in a library shrouded by fire as a giant version of the book appeared behind. He then took hold of the handle of the sword before he yanked it out and the cover of book open to reveal the rider inside it, as did the giant one behind him. Unsheathe the Flame! "Henshin!" Flash said as he slashed the sword in a X and the dragon that came out of the book merged with him and his armor was similar to the one in the book appeared on him. He transform into Saber. ~Brave Brave! Rekka: Volume 1: When the brave dragon and Rekka, the Sword of Flames unite, the crimson blade shall pierce threw all evil! Rekka, the Sword of Flames! The girls saw him transformed and they were amazed by this. "Wow! That's even cooler than Twilight describe it!" Pinkie shouted with amazement. Saber took his sword and charged into battle as he slashed some of the goons with his sword. Three pushed him back while he blocked them with his sword. From behind, one attack him and knock him on the ground and when another try to get him while he was down, Saber quickly dodge and quickly got up and continue to fight. With Blades, he continued to fight the goons as the girls watch when they got the last of the people out and hide behind a pillar to watch the fight. Two Ant Megid spat acid at Saber, but he rolled out of the way their spite. He then pushed the cover of the book back and it cause it to react like Blades's book did. Brave Dragon He copy what the book beside him did as it flipped threw its pages. The flames around him gathered into his fist, powering up a Rider punch as a red dragon appeared behind him. "Dragon Wonder!" Saber called out as he threw his punch and the dragon at the two Ant Megid and a few of the goons, destroying them. "You wield your sword well." Blades complemented. All of the sudden, a screech started to hrut everyones heads. "Agh, my head hurts!" Shouted the fairy. From a balcony, a Kirigirisu Megid was the one who made that screeching sound with its pincers before it jumped to a rooftop next to a Ant Megid. "Humans think they're so clever..." said the Ant Megid. "So there was another one!" Blades shouted as the Media laughed. "Look for yourself!" Said the Kirigirisu Megid. "Once this book is complete, this will become the new normal!" "What?!" Asked Saber and he noticed the symbol on the Ant Megid chest was glowing before both turned and jumped so far they got away. "I can't go on..." Said Rarity as she and the girls fell to the ground like they were drand. "Girls!" Saber shouted as both him and Blades went to them to see if they're okay. "Don't worry, they're still breathing." Blades said as he checked each of them. "Let's take them back and regroup." He suggested. "Thank goodness..." Saber relieve that they are ok. After the two got the girls out from that world, they returned back to the North Pole base to figure out what to do next. "What are those guys trying to do?!" Flash asked Surge and Sophia as they walked in. "They must be replacing lost Wonder Ride Books in order to recreate the book of world creation." Sophia answered. "A book of world creation?!" Flash asked. "They intend to obtain that great power." Surge added. "Then we need to go back there!" Flash demand as he was about to go. "That place has already been rewritten with the Megido's book." Sophia stopped him with that. "If they continue to rewrite reality, your lives as swordsmen will be at risk." She warned them. "It can't be..." Surge doubted with a sad look on his face. "That creep said nothing would ever return to normal if that book is completed." Flash pointed out. "That means if we defeat them before it's complete, then things will still be all right!" Flash theories. "Recklessness and bravery are two different things." Sophia told Flash. "Hope exists beyond our resolution!" Flash shouted and those words made Sophia remindedof someone who said that before. "Those words...!" She said before a glass case glowed and open up to show gears and a Wounder Ride Book inside. When Flash walked over to it and saw the book he ask, "What is this?" "It's a book that only you can use. Kamen Rider Saber." Sophia answered him. Flash took out the book and looked at it and said, "Saber..." The title of the book was, "Issue the issue, Diago Speedy!" The two returned back to the disappeared city, only to find it much worse. "I will not accept this world!" Surge said in frustration. "So this is the inside of a Megido's book..." Flash said when he saw it. "In the name of Nagare, the Sword of Currents..." Surge said with determination. "I will keep this world free from harm's reach!" He took out his Lion Senki book and open the cover. Lion Senki "I will save both the city, and its people!" Flash said before he took out his Brave Dragon book and open the cover. Brave Dragon Both then placed their book in their drivers and both books glowed and took them to a library where they were shrouded by both fire and water and giant version of the books appeared behind them. Then both of them yanked out both of their swords and both the small and giant books open up. Unsheathe the Flames! Unsheathe the Current! "Henshin!" Both boys shouted as they slashed their swords to transform in to Kamen Rider Saber and Kamen Rider Blades. ~Brave Dragon! Rekka, the Sword of Flames ~Lion Senki! Nagare, the Sword of Currents Blades took out his phone Saber saw before. "Gatrike Phone" He pressed the button on it and folded it together. ~Ride Gatriker! The phone got bigger and transformed. "Okay..." Saber said as he place the Diago Speedy book in the third slot on his driver after he put his sword back in the driver and then yanked it out again and the Diago Speedy book open up. Start Up The Roar! The book lift off of his driver, got bigger, and transformed into a motorcycle. ~Diago Speedy! Saber was surprised by that at first but then got impressed. "Let's ride." Blades said as he got on the Ride Gatriker. "Right!" Saber said as he got on the Diago Speedy. Both the road off into the city. At the Megido's lar, the hand written device still continue to rewrite the Altar Ride Book. "That Megido has been given another power..." One of the Megid leaders said as he looked at the book. "Surely those swordsmen will be unable to stop it now." The two riders were neck and neck as the drove their rides down hill and saw what looked to be giant ants. Saber took his sword and slash through them, while Blades used the guns on the Ride Gatriker to blast those ants. In the way of Saber was a truck, so he turned sideways and ducked under it and continue on. Up ahead, there was a tunnel full of giant ants blocking their path. Blades use the guns on the Ride Gatriker to blast through the ants and Saber continue to slash through them as he drove to the top of the tunnel as he continues to strike the ants and Blades blast the ants. Saber got back to the ground and they continue on through the tunnel and got out as the ants exploded behind them. The two riders jumped over a big gap on a highway and made it across and continue on. But as they got to the other side, something hit them so they had to stop and the thing that hit them was the Kirigirisu Megid. "I'll turn you two into a part of our book too!" The Megid shouted. "No doubt that's the one controlling the ants..." Blades theories. "Hold on, the story is the Ant and the Grasshopper. That would mean the grasshopper is protecting the ants. Go and find the shinning ant! That's the queen multiplying their numbers!" Saber told Blades. "Got it! Find the shining ant..." Blades said as he went to find the Ant Megid. "Like I'd let you get away!" The Kirigirisu Megid shouted as it jumped at them. "You'll have to face me first!" Saber shouted as he knocked it away. With Blades, he drove till he saw the shinning ant. "There it is!" The Ant Megid saw him and summon more giant ants to slow him down. "Here's gose!" He pushed the button on the handle of the sword. Final Page! Then he shot a giant blast of water right at the giant ants and put the Ant Megid in a bubble. He the jumped off from the Ride Gatriker and yank out his sword. Lion! One Volume Strike! Water! "Leo Cascade!" Blades shouted as he did his Rider Kick right at the bubbled Megido, destroying it and landing back on the Ride Gatriker. And from the explosion, something came flying out and Blades caught it. It was a greenish blue Wounder Ride Book. " "Jackun-to-Domamenoki." They used a Wounder Ride Book's power..." He wonder just when the Kirigirisu Megid came flying pass him, with Saber riding up to Blades. "Did you defeat the queen ant?" Saber asked Blades and he show him the Wounder Ride Book he got. "A Wonder Ride Book can be used like this as well." Blades told Saber as he place the book at the tip of his sword with a sliver book shape on it. Jack and the Beanstalk! Hmm, hmm... He then shot out seeds at the Megido and when they hit it, water splashed all over it and it nearly crash landed. "It can learn?!" Saber asked after witnessing that. "It doesn't matter what you do!" The Kirigirisu Megid shouted as it floated in mid air. "This will become our world!" It laughed as it flew higher in the sky. "What?!" Saber wounder what it meant, Blades then looked to him and said, "Please, give it a try!" He then hands him the book. "I'll give it a shot!" Saber told Blades as he place his sword back in the driver and closed the Brave Dragon book, then placed the new book in the third slot on his driver. "Wait, it's too early for you to try two volumes!" Blades warned Saber as the giant versions of the two books appeared behind Saber. Saber then pulled out his sword and the two books covers opened up. Unsheathe the Flames! When two books synthesize, the sacred sword is infused with power! ~Wonder Rider! Dragon Jack and the Beanstalk The blade equipped with two attributes will be honed! Blades was surprised by Saber's new form. "Or, uh, maybe it isn't." He said while Saber checked out the vine on his left arm as he swing it back and forth. He then shot the ground with some seeds and that got Blades scared. "There's no meaning in attacking the ground! Aim above! " He told Saber. "It's fine this way!" Saber told Blades as a green book appeared and a giant beanstalk shot up in to the sky. "Wait, what?" Blades was confused by this. Saber got on the Diago Speedy and revved it up. The Kirigirisu Megid noticed Saber riding up the beanstalk on his Diago Speedy. ~Rev up those tires and awaken the crimson body within! With the blade as a symbol, the flowing words accelerate with every issue! Diago Speedy! "Get back here!" Saber shouted at the Megido as he drove up the beanstalk. "That's a brilliant way to use that power!" Blades said with a impressed tone. When Saber got close to the Megido, he slashed and it send it flying down. Untill it stopped midair. "It's too late, no matter what you do!" The Megido shouted. "This book is nearly completed!" Saber stood on top of beanstalk looking down at the Megido. "I don't think so. I'll be the one to write how this story ends!" He told the Megido after he put his sword back in the driver. He then press the button on the handle on the sword. Final Page! Dragon Jack and the Beanstalk Two Volume Strike, F-F-Fire! A book open up like a pop-up book, with Saber doing a Rider Kick untill it became real. "Flamming Dragon Crush Kick!" Saber called out as he did his Rider Kick, the Megido try to hit him with slashes at him, but they had no effect as he came in. When he stuck the Megido, behind it was at least nine pages to a book as Saber pushed it right at the book like it was pierced by a sword and the Megido exploded. When Saber landed, a Wounder Ride Book was sent flying at him and when he caught it he saw the title of the book. "Peter Fantasista." "With my swordsman's pride on the line..." Blades said as he tood on his Ride Gatriker. "I will keep the balance of the world!" He then press the button on the handle on his sword before he pressed the button on handle twice for the finisher. Final Page! Unsheath the Current! Lion One Volume Strike! Water! Like with Saber, Blades swing his sword like the book next to him. Water flow from the sword as he did. As the blue lion appeared behind him, he called out his attack. "Hydro Stream!!" As he ride the Ride Gatriker, he strike the giant ants that he pass leaving an explosion behind him. Stopping next to Saber and the city returned back to normal and the real world. "Looks Like we did it!" He said to Saber. "Looks like it." Saber said as he hold up the Peter Fantasista book. At the Megido's lar, the hand written device stop writing, that means the riders defeated the two Megido. "This only accelerates my plans." Calibur told the three Megid leaders as he chuckled. Back at Fantastic Books, Flash and Surge were there with the girls who recovered. Rainbow was jealous that she missed out on what they had done, but a little impressed. Twilight was glad that her boyfriend made it out alive. Flash even show them the two Wounder Ride Books they got when they defeated the two Megido. "Hey Surge!" Flash said, "Your sword skills were freaking insane!" "I really wish we were there to see it to!" Pinkie said, "I mean, look at my phone!" She show the others her phone, only for them to see nothing on it. "Uh Pinkie, what are we supposed to be looking at?" Sunset asked. "I took pictures of that place, but when I checked to see how they turned out when I woke up, they just disappear!" Pinkie explained. "That is odd, wounder how that happened." The fairy said from the table with train set on it. "Anyway, mind telling me more about those books and swords?" Flash asked Surge. "Wonder Ride Books and Sacred Swords, to be precise." Surge corrected. "There's still a lot you can learn. And feel free to call me Mr. Surge from now on." He told him and the girls. "We'll help you too, Surge!" Pinkie called out. "You're being rather forward, Ms. Pie." Surge said. "I'm okay. I respectfully decline your offer." He told Pinkie. "Hey, we can help! We took on like giant women, out of control robots, even demon girls!" Rainbow shouted. "Oh well. If that's the case, then we don't have to share any of these!" Pinkie said as she pulled out a box full of cupcakes inside. "Cupcakes? I've only read about them, mind if I--" Surge said as he try to take one, before Pinkie quickly pulled it away from him. "No, a swordsman must have have self-restraint and maintain their body..." He told himself before he looked back at her. "But sugar can help the brain, so what's the problem?" He asked himself. "I see what you're doing Pinkie, and I like it." Rainbow whispered to Pinkie. "Partner, you know we can hear what you're thinking." Applejack pointed out. Twilight was looking at the Jack-to-Domamenoki book,and thought to herself if there's anymore like these. But then she had a flashback where she was younger and she opened a pop-up book with a giant tree, draons, and other mythical things. And with her was that little girl from her dreams smiling with her. When flashback ended, she thought to herself, "That girl again..." Then, all of the sudden the Book Gate open up and who they all saw supperis them. A teenager girl, about Twilight's age, sitting on a flying carpet. This girl had midnight blue hair with golden yellow strikes and a crescent moon pin. She had bright yellow skin and sky blue eyes. The girl was wearing dark blue dress. "Hey Twilight." She said while she looked at her with a smile. "Long time no see." "Who?!" Twilight asked in complete confusion. The Story Continues > Volume 1, chapter 3: A father and a Swordsman > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to Tassel in his home and he is happy to see us back. "Welcome back readers!" Tassel called out. "Isn't this exciting? Although I'm a little concerned for Twilight after what happened in the last chapter." He said as he walked around the table in the middle of the room. ""Why", you ask?" He asked as he looked to you all and holding a book and open it up to show what happened in the last two chapters. "The Sword of Flames chose Flash Sentry as its new welder when a Golem Megido transport him and Twilight and a part of the city to Wounder World." Tassel explained. "And after Saber defeated the Megido, he and the girls meat Water Surge, the Swordsman of Water. And he introduced Flash and Twilight to Sophia, one of the gardens of the Sword of Logos. And after working with Surge, also known as Kamen Rider Blades, Flash wanted to know more about the Sacred Swords and the Wounder Ride Books. And after Twilight had a flashback of that girl again, a teen girl about her age who seemed to know her, made Twilight more confused than ever." Tassel close the book. "Well, I don't know about any of you, but I believe this new chapter is going to Rock!" Tassel jocked as he pulled out a new book from the bookshelf and open it up. Then we go into the book and pick up where we left off in the last chapter. "Hey Twilight." Said the teen girl on the flying carpet with a smile on her face. "Long time no see." "Who?!" Twilight asked in complete confusion. Everyone but Surge and the fairy was also confused by this new comer. The teen girl looked around the room and when she saw Flash she thought to herself, ("Ooh, cute boy alert.") Then the carpet dissaperd when she stepped off it. "I'm sorry, but..." Twilight started as she walked to the girl, "Do I know you from somewhere?" She asked. "We used to travel through the world of stories together." The teen girl said. "Stories?" Twilight asked. "For example." The girl started as she looked for something to jog Twilight's memory, when she spotted a book on a shelf and picked it up.""Night on the Constellation Railroad"." After Twilight saw that book, she had another flashback. Twilight's Flashback We see a young Twilight sitting alone on a train that was going on with no railroad tracks, flying through the constellations around it. The little Twilight was scared, because she got lost trying to catch up with her parents. When she began to cry, a little girl that look like the teen girl walked over to her. "Are you okay?" The girl ask. "I got lost from my mommy and daddy. And I don't know how to get back to them." Said the young Twilight as she cried. "Hey it's okay." Said the girl. "You are not alone, you're with a friend." She sat down next to Twilight. "But my friends are back at my home." Said Twilight. "Well, you have a new friend right here, right now. My name is Arabia Night." Arabia introduced herself as she gave Twilight a hug. "And I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight introduce herself as she hug back. End Flashback Teen Twilight and Arabia hugged as she remembered her old friend. "Looks like you remember Arabia now." The fairy said as she fly up to the two. "Dose this means you remember me?" She asked Twilight. "Yes, you're Sprit. My little fairy friend!" Twilight answered, and that made Sprit smile with tiers in her eyes as she hugged Twilight's face. The three laughed as they were happy to be together again. "So, you know these two Twilight?" Spike asked as he got out of Twilight's backpack. "O. M. G! That is so ADORABLE!" Arabia shouted as she picked up Spike and smother him with love. "Uh, sorry to interrupt. But, do you really know her Twilight?" Sunset asked as she walked up to them and Twilight nodded with a smile on her face. "Of course I do." Twilight said, but she realised something. "Oh uh Arabia, these are my friends. Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and my boyfriend Flash Sentry. And that's Spike, my dog. It's a long story as to why he can talk." She introduced her friends and her boyfriend. "Nice to meet you all." Arabia said, even though in her head she went, ("Dang it! The cute boy is taken!") "The three of us used to play together all the time when we were little." Twilight said. "It's been quite a while, Arabia." She looked to her old friend. "What am I, a bug?" Asked Sprit. "And you too, Sprit. How many years has it been?" Twilight asked before she hugged Arabia again. "This takes me back! You've really grown up." "What a reunion!" Pinkie shouted with excitement. "You too, Twilight." Arabia said. "Arabia Night. She is a member of the Sword of Logos, just as I am." Surge explained as he walked up to them. The others were surprised by this news. "You know her too?" Rainbow asked. "I apologize for interrupting your reunion, but do you have any business here?" Surge asked Arabia when she saw the box of cupcakes Pinkie put down on the table. She then put Spike down and went over to the cupcakes. "Cupcakes!" Arabia said with joy. She took a cupcake and took a bite out of it. "Ah, the cupcakes..." Surge said with worry. "Mmmm, aren't you guys gonna eat?" Arabia asked as she lift up the box. "If it's all right..." Surge said as he went to get one, but was then pulled back by Flash. "You're an expert when it comes to ordering people around..." Flash said. "But I do like that about her. You haven't changed a bit!" Twilight said with smile as she took the box of cupcakes from Arabia. "I agree with you, Twi." Said Sprit. Twilight then took a cupcake from the box and took a bite out of it. "Hey, save some for the rest of us!" Rainbow demanded as they each took a cupcake. "This is so exciting! We meet not only one old friend of Twilight's, but another one!" Pinkie said as she jumped for joy. The group took one cupcake from the box, all but Surge who saw Rainbow took the last one. "The three of us played, huh?" Arabia asked herself with a sad look on her face as she looked at her long lost friend. "That was the last one..." Surge said. "You snooze you lose!" Rainbow barged. "So she's already forgotten about her..." Arabia told Sprit who was on her sholder. "She didn't even remember me when I found her. So her remembering her will take a while." Sprit said. Both Flash and Surge arrived at another part of the city that dissaperd by the Megido again. And the one racking the place was the same one Flash fought before, the Golem Megido. "Dude, isn't that the the guy I defeated the other day?" Flash asked as he pointed to the Megido. The Golem Megido turned and saw the two. "Once their Alter Book has been completed, they can reappear to their leisure." Surge explained. "Shall we?" He asked Flash. The two got ready to transform into their rider forms when an explosion happened behind them and a figure jumped infront of them. This figure was wearing a grey armor with orange shades on the helmet and carried a big sword on his back. When he landed, it caused the ground to shake. Flash and Surge fell back when this rider landed. Flash saw the sword on the rider's back while he was on the ground. It was big and grey with an orange blade. The Golem Megido saw this as well and it was a little hesitant. "You babies should just sit back and watch!" Said the rider as he looked back at the two then back at the Megido. "Who the..." Flash wounder. The rider the pulled the sword from his back and took out the book in it. Then he placed the grey book in an orange dot on sword and the book glowed and powered up for a finisher. Genbu Shinwa, Ka-bam! The rider then copy the book beside him as the book's pages flipped through. He swinged the big sword to a side way stands as the blade glowed. Gekido Skimming Smite, Ka-bam! The Golem Megido try to blast the rider, but the rider knock away the blast as he swing his sword. "Grand Judgement!" The rider called out as rocks gathered on the sword as he brought it up and swing it down, destroying the Megido with one strike. "Holy crap..." Flash said in awe at what he just saw. "Father!" Called out a little boy with light grey skin and blonde hair and light orange eyes. Both Flash and Surge saw the little boy running to the rider. "Father?" Flash asked in confusion. "Stone!" The rider said he saw the boy. "Father, you were so cool today too!" Stone said with complete joy. "Right?" The rider ask as he keeled down to the boy. "Your dad's super strong !" The rider bragged. "That's my father!" Stone shouted. Both Flash and Surge got up from the ground and still wounder who this rider is. "A swordsman... carrying a child?" Flash wondered. The rider carried the boy on his shoulder as he detranformed. The man before them had dark grey skin, bright orange hair, and orange eyes. He wears a long black cote with a mountain printed on the back of it. The man smiled as he looked at Flash. "You're him, huh? The one chosen by the sword of fire?" He asked. At the Megido's lar ,the hand written device stopped. Meaning that the Megido was destroyed, yet again. "I'm impressed, Legeiel." Said Storious. "Look at you, unfazed by Golem's defeat." He said with a chuckled. "I'll get the next one!" Zooous shouted , then he got up to close to Legeiel's face. "Watch them get devoured." He told Legeiel then walked to open an Alter Book. "Be careful you're not the one getting hunted instead." Legeiel said. "What'd you say?!" Zooous asked as he opened the Altar Book in his hand, releasing the Megido from with in. Hanzaki Sanshouuo "Show them that we're not pushovers." He told the Hanzaki Megid as he tossed it the blank book to it. "Then allow me to keep things moving." The Megido said as it stood up. "I'll handle it from here." He said as he walked away. Calibur looked into a mirror as the Megido walked away. "The swordsman of earth, Buster..." He said as he looked at his reflection. Back at the book shop, Flash and Surge brought the swordsman of earth and his son to the shop. The girls were surprised to see another swordsman here. "The name's Terra Quake." Terra introduce himself. Fluttershy was hiding behind Applejack when she saw Terra. "My beloved sword is the Sword of Tremors, Gekido." He said as he showed off his sword off. "And this is my son, Stone." He introduced his son. "I'm Stone Quake!" Stone shouted with pride. "What a greeting! That's my boy!" Terra said as he rubbed his son's head then laughed. "Now this guy really stands out!" Sprit said. Because of her size, Terra was big like a mountain to her. "You can say that again." Pinkie said with wide eyes. "It's really nice to meet you, Mr. Quake." Twilight said as she walked up to him. "So this guy just sliced the enemy in two with just one go?" Rainbow asked and Flash gave her a node. "That is, AWESOME!" She shouted, confusing the others. "This guy might be the coolest one we meat so far!" "Sorry about Rainbow there, Mr. Quake." Applejack apologize. "When something impressed her, she can't help but to blur it out." "Even I think it's cool, and I don't have a possible thumbs." Spike said as he jumped up on to the table. "Did that dog just talked?" Terra asked. "Oh yeah, it's a long story about how he's able to." Twilight said as she picked up Spike. "That's odd." Terra said. "Mr. Quake, I've been meaning to bring this up for a while now, but..." Surge started. "With your child always in the field of battle, what would you do if he becomes injured?" He asked. "Wait an apple picking minute!" Applejack shouted. "You bring your own kid in the mist of battle?!" She asked with frustration. Terra then put his arms around the two, and Surge said ouch when he did because of Terra's strength. "Not a chance." Terra told the two. "I'm the strongest swordsman there is." He said as he looked at his sword, he the walked to his son and picked him up with one arm. "Not to mention, I'm the almighty King of Parenting." He said with a laughed. "Oh my, your wife must be so proud to have a husband like you." Fluttershy said. "Thank you. Oh, could you watch over my son for a bit?" Terra asked as he put down his son. "I need to speak to Sophia about something." He said, then he lend over to Surge and whispered. "It's about Calibur." Surge nodded. "Sure, we can watch your son." Applejack said. The two swordsmen walked over to the Book Gate and stepped through to the northern base. "So Stone, is your dad always bringing you along when the Megidos appeare?" Applejack asked. "Sometimes, but I'm glad he didn't bring me to the northern base. It's boring, there's only books in that place." Stone said. "It's true, I've seen the place and I saw the books. And two of them were big, like human size big." Twilight said. "But books can be fun." She said to Stone. "The world of books is really interesting, you know." Twilight said. "Twi is right, I thought that books were only for eggheads. But after I read "The Adventures of Daring Do", I had a lot of fun reading it." Rainbow told Stone. "Not really." Stone said. "If that's the case..." Twilight said as she walked over to Stone. "We'll teach you how fun it can be to read books. I promise." She said as she hold out her pinky finger. Sprit saw this and that made her remember a time when her, Twilight, Arabia, and a third friend made a pinky promise, well for Sprit it was a hand and pinky promise. Stone just scoffed at that. "You're so weird." He said to Twilight. "Well that's just rude." Rarity complaint. "Oh, I know! Let's go for a walk." Pinkie suggested. "A walk dose sound nice." Fluttershy said. "Kay, Pinkie and Fluttershy. You both can take Stone out for walk, we will wait for Surge, Arabia, and Terra to get back." Sunset said, as both Pinkie and Fluttershy nodded in agreement. "Okay, come on Stone." Fluttershy said as she hold Stone's hand. "Onward!" Pinkie shouted as the three went out. In the forest somewhere, the Hanzaki Megid was standing on a bridge holding the blank book in his hand over a creak. "At long last, the birth of our king draws near!" He said as he hold up the book. "Gather, my prey!" He opened the book and it glowed and the pages was sent out. A giant book appeared in the area, it open up and that part of the forest disappeared. In the city, the blank white book appeared to random people. One in a basket of a bicycle, in a man's briefcase, in front of a woman as she walked, even inside of a dinning room of a house. "Twilight is a bit strange..." Stone said as he, Fluttershy, and Pinkie walked down the park. "But she's not wrong about books being fun to read!" Pinkie said, then she spotted an ice cream stand serving soft serve ice cream. "Ooooh! Soft server! Fluttershy, watch over Stone! I'll go get us some!" She shouted as she went to get some. "She always love to make others smile." Fluttershy told Stone. "And if you give books a try, you might just like it." Stone turned to site down and saw the blank book on the bench. "A book?" Stone asked. "Where did that come from?" Fluttershy asked, wondering who left it there. Stone walked over to it and picked it up. "Are books really that interesting?" He asked as he hold the book. Pinkie returned with three ice cream and saw Stone holding the blank book. "Uh Fluttershy, didn't Flash and Twilight told us that the Golem Megido hold a blank book like that?" She asked Fluttershy with concerned. "Oh dear..." Fluttershy said with worry in her voice. Then they both saw Stone about to open it up. "Wait!" They both yelled out as they ran to stop him. But they were too late, Stone open the book and it glowed. Then a large version of it appeared over him before it land on top of him and he dissaperd. "What the heck?" He asked before he vanished. "Come back!" Pinkie called out as she and Fluttershy try and save Stone. "S-Stone is gone..." Fluttershy said with so much worry. In the Northern Base, Terra told the information about Calibur to Sophia. "I see you have met Saber." Sophia said as she walked over to a bookshelf. "What do you think of him?" She asked Terra. "I'm disappointed." Terra answered. "He's just a boy, and I can tell he has no experience." He said as he sat down. A woman walked out from the back, she was wearing overalls with a deep pink shirt. She had wild long velvet hair, bright pink skin, and fire pink eyes. "I have no idea how he was the one chosen by the Sword of Flames." "I thought it was going to be that Twilight girl." Said the woman as she looked in a book. "Apparently, she and her brother was there during the battle 12 years ago." "Wait what?" Terra asked in surprised. "Beat, is that true?!" He asked as he got and went over to her. "It appears so." Beat said before she walked back to the back. "She had Brave Dragon on her and not Flash." Surge told Terra. "But it looks like she's lost her memory." Arabia said with a sad look on her face. "But it was it was Flash's bravery and his determination to keep her safe was likely why he was chosen to be Saber." Sophia theorize. Terra was speechless about this news. But then the door opened and Flash came through. "Mr. Quake!" He called out to make Terra look. And when he looked at Flash, he looked like he had bad news. "Stone has disappeared?!" Terra was told the news when Flash took him back to the book shop by Fluttershy and Pinkie. "We're so sorry!" Fluttershy said as she was crying. "He opened a book he picked up, then he..." Pinkie explained. "Like Fluttershy said, We're so sorry!" She said as she bowed. "We let this happen right in front of us..." Fluttershy said with gilt. "Apologies won't bring my son back!" Terra shouted with anger and that made Fluttershy and Pinkie flinched. Surge came out of the Book Gate, "It seems that there are others vanishing in a similar fashion." He told the others and that made Terra wounder something. "So they've been sucked into the other world?" Terra asked. "I'm coming for you, Stone." He said with determination as he was about to head out. "I'll go too! The Megiddo just need to be--" Flash said before Terra stopped him. "Know your place and stand aside, boy." Terrra told Flash. "No, I going to help." Flash argued. "I'm coming too, I made Stone a promise." Twilight stepped in. "A promise?" Terra asked as he looked at Twilight. "Do whatever you want." He said before he left. And just when they were about to follow him, Twilight got a text from Shining. When she looked at it, her eyes widened with fear. "What's wrong Twilight?" Sprit asked. "It's Candace. It looks like she was sucked into that world too." This meant now Twilight has to go, not only to save Stone but to save her sister in law. The others but Fluttershy left. "It's was my fault, but..." She wondered what to do next. Flash, Surge,Terra, and the girls made it to the other world only to find no there. "No one's here..." Flash said. "Wait, this is the bench that disappeared with Stone!" Pinkie pointed to the same bench that Stone stand next to before he dissapperd. "Where are you, Stone?!" Terra called out but no answer. "I'm coming to save you, so hang on!" He then took off. "Hey, hold your horses! Going alone is too..." Applejack stopped him before he interrupted her. "I didn't ask for your help, farm girl!" Terra shouted then continue on. "We should muster ourselves and search for Stone, Mrs. Cadance, and the others." Surge suggest. "Agree." Flash said. "Okay, lets split up and cover more ground to look for everyone." Sunset suggested. Before they could, the Hanzaki Megid walked towards them. "I won't let you get in the way of the birth of our king!" He shouted with sword in hand. "The Megiddo..." Surge said when he saw it. "Its a lizard?" Spike asked. "How dare you, I'm no lizard!" The Hanzaki Megid shouted. "We can save Stone and Cadance if we take this guy down!" Flash said as he puts on his driver. "I concur with that assessment." Surge agreed with Flash as he puts on his driver. The girls stepped back as they hold up their Wounder Ride Books and open the covers. Brave Dragon Lion Senki Both of them closed the covers and place their book in the slots in their drivers. Then both took hold of the handle of their swords before they yanked them out. Unsheathe the Flame! Unsheathe the Current! "Henshin!" Both Flash and Surge said before they slashed their swords and transformed into Kamen Rider Saber and Kamen Rider Blades. ~Brave Dragon! Rekka: Volume One. When the brave dragon and Rekka, the Sword of Flames unite, the crimson blade shall vanquish all that is evil! ~Lion Senki! Nagare: Volume One. When the king of the wilds and Nagare, the Sword of Currents unite, the azure blade shall bare its fangs! The two riders were ready for battle and charged at the Hanzaki Megid. The three clashed blades and knocked it back but continue to fight. At the Northern Base, the woman named Beat walked out from the back to see what was happening. Arabia just stood by the stairs but then Sophia spoke up. "You must be concerned about Twilight." She said as she walked down the steps. "When I think what happened 12 years ago..." Arabia started. "Perhaps she's better off not knowing." She assumed. "I was responsible for that. It's a sin that I have to bear." She told Sophia. "Do not take the blame entirely." Sophia told Arabia. "Even if the swordsman of darkness who betrayed us is your..." In the Megidos lar, Calibur looked out a window knowing what's happening. "Swordsmen have appearing one after another..." He spoke in a dark tone. "With obtaining the sacred Wonder Ride Books as my goal..." He tightened his fist. "The day I reach Avalon is near." He told himself. Back to the fight, Saber and Blades were handling the Hanzaki Megid well. But it was still a tough one. When Saber land his sword on its arm, it just slide of it because of its slime. "He's all slimy!" Saber said when he slipped. "Now that is revolting!" Rarity said in complete disgusted. The Hanzaki Megid then slash Saber. Then Blades try to strike it, but his sword just slide down its back. Then the Megid strike Blades. "Our swords are sliding off his body!" Blades pointed out. "How can they fight something if their hits just slide off it?!" Rainbow asked. The Hanzaki Megid then charged at the two riders and try to slash them, but they ducked out of the way and try to slash through his middle of his body. But like the other times, their swords just slide off him and the two fell to the ground. "Ow!" Sprit said from Twilight's pocket. The Hanzaki Megid took this chance to strike down the riders one the ground. The two rolld out of the way but when they got up, he strike them into the water. "Just try and slice me if you can!" Hanzaki taunted them. "You asked for it..." Saber said as he took out the Peter Fantasista book and open its cover. Peter Fantasista. A story of hopes and dreams unfold from the heart of a boy who never grows up. He closed the book then placed it in the third slot on his driver after he placed his sword in it, then he yanked it out opening both books. Unsheathe the Flame! When two books synthesize, the sacred sword is infused with power! ~Wonder Rider! Dragon! Peter Fan! The blade equipped with two attributes shall be honed! "All right! Use that fairy power!" Sprit shouted when she saw this and fly out. Saber launched the hook right at the Megido and the hook didn't slip off. The Hanzaki try to get it off but Saber was not letting it go, until a fairy fly out of nowhere and pulled the chains up, lifting up both Saber and the Megido and slammed into each other. "Ooo, you might want to reel it in sister!" Sprit said when she saw that. Then fairy spun both of the around a few times. "Why are you using it so unconventionally?!" Blades yelled out when the fairy spine the two before the fairy let go and Saber crashed into him. "Ow! That had to hurt." Sunset said when they saw all that. "Wow, you fairies are stronger than you look." Rainbow said to Sprit. "Yeah. We are like ants, we're small but strong!" Sprit gloat. "What in heaven's name are you doing?!" Blades asked as the two riders got up. "My bad." Saber said. "Please hand Peter Fantasista over to me." Blades asked. "It seems more adept for my way of fighting." He said while he hold out his hand. "You think?" Saber asked as he took out the Peter Fantasista book from his driver and his left side returned to normal. "It's all yours, then." He said as he hand him the book. "My thanks." Blades said as he took the book. He then put his sword back in the driver and closed the Lion Senki book, then open the Peter Fantasista book. Peter Fantasista! He then placed it in the third slot on his driver like Saber did, next to the Lion Senki book. Both books glowed and then two giant versions of the two books appeared behind him. Blades the pulled out his sword and the two books open up. Unsheath the Current! ~Behold, the shining Lion Fantasista! Nagare: Volume Two! Roar! Shine! The claws of fantasy dwell within the blue swordsman! "Witness yours truly." Blades said in his new form. "This is how you use matching Wonder Ride Books." He then charged at the Hanzaki and the two clashed blades as they fight. And this time, each of Blades's attacks didn't slip off. He then took hold of the Megido and spun him around before he threw him to the ground. Blades then pushed back on the cover of the Lion Senki book and took hold of his hook. Lion Senki! Peter Fantasista! He then throw the hook and in created balls of water as they surrounded the Megido. Blades then charged into one of the water balls, then came out of another and attack the Megido, as did a blue lion. This went for about few times before the Megido got knocked on to the ground. Blades landed and the others were amazed by what they just saw. "That's sick!" Pinkie shouted as she clapped at what she saw. "Yeah, but you're not getting all the fun!" Saber said as he took out the Jack and the Beanstalk book after he put his sword back in the driver and closed the Brave Dragon book. After he placed the book in the third slot on his driver, he pulled out the sword and the two books open up. Unsheath the Flame! When two books synthesize, the sacred sword is infused with power! ~Wonder Rider! "Ever thought of using Jackun like this?" Saber asked as he spun his arm around before he shot green seeds at the Megido. "What a trifling attack!" Hanzaki Megid said as he knocked the seeds away as Saber charged at him. The two clashed swords, but then Saber ran back a few feet away. "H-Hold on a moment..." He said as he pushed back on the Jack and the Beanstalk book's cover. Jackun-to-Domamenoki! "You're retreating already?" The Hanzaki Megid asked. But then vines grow under the Megido and pulled him to the ground. "That's it!" Saber said before the vines grow into a giant beanstalk and launched the Megido into the air. It cash landed a few feet behind the two riders as they heard Pinkie laugh. "Nice one Flash!" She called out. "Didn't expect that, did you?" Saber asked Blades. "That was outstanding!" Blades completed. But then they all saw Terra on the other side of the small river and not looking too happy. "Terra..." Saber said when he saw him. "First!" Terra started as he walked to the Megido. "As you are servants of evil..." Everyone can see the anger in his eyes as he went on. "Second! The rage of the earth trembles before you..." The girls went behind some trees, just to be safe. "Third! I'll face you head-to-head! No excuses!" He shouted out with rage. "This guy's intense..." Rainbow said as she and the other girls watch. "Agree, he must be really angry about his son." Rarity said. Terra then hold up a grey Wounder Ride Book with the title says, "Genbu Shinwa" before he opened it up to reveal the story within. Genbu Shinwa! There once was a mythical beast armed to the hilt who held one corner of the Four Sacred Beats. He closed the book and then slammed it into the rectangle spot in his sword. As it glowed, Terra stood in the middle of a library and a giant version of the book appeared behind him. He then pressed the button on the handle of the sword and the book open up to reveal the rider inside it. As did the giant one behind him. Genbu Shinwa Terra swung his sword over his shoulder as bolders surrounded him from the giant book. "Henshin!" He called out as the boulders gathered infront of him and he swing his sword down on them and he transformed into Kamen Rider Buster. Fracture the Enemy! Divide the land! Grumble, rumble! Gekido, the Sword of Tremors! Gekido: Remastered. The colossal armored sword fractures the earth, bringing forth the might of the North! The others were amazed by his transformation, because it was the first time seeing him transform. "Give me back my son!" Buster shouted as scanned the book in the orange square in his sword. "Genbu Shinwa, Ka-bam!" Like what he did to that Golem Megido, he was ready to finish this. "We should get out of the way... Get down!" Blades yelled as he ran to Saber. "DUCK!" Sprit yelled out as she went back into Twilight's pocket. "Grand Judgement!" Buster called out as he swing his sword around and the riders and the girls ducked down and strike the Hanzaki Megid. Intense Gekido Skimming Smite! Ka-bam! The Hanzaki Megid exploded as Buster had his back to the explosion. "This guy is amazing..." Saber said as he and the others got up. Buster then detranformed back into Terra, as did the other two riders. "Wait, something's not right here." Terra said as he noticed something was wrong. The others looked around and saw that they were still in Wounder World. "Hey, how come we're still here?" Rainbow asked. "Yes, shouldn't we have returned back to the real world by now?" Rarity asked with concern in her voice. "The world hasn't returned to normal!" Surge answered. They saw the bench was still here, but they want to know why the world didn't return to normal. "What's going on?" Flash asked. "Stone should have returned along with the city after defeating the Megiddo." Surge explained. "However..." He said with fear in his voice and looked worried. Flash looked to Terra who looked worried sick. "Terra..." Terra gripped his sword tight before he slammed it down in frustration. "Why...?" He asked. "I turned him to rubble!" He shouted to the skys. Twilight was extremely worried, if the Megiddo was destroyed but they're still there. How can they fix all this? The Story Continues! > Volume 1, chapter 4: The book was opened, that is the reason. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to inside Tassel's house, where we see Tassel with a worried look on his face. When he sees you reading, he puts on a fake smile. "Well, welcome back! For those who don't know me, my name is Tassel." He introduced himself. "If you were wondering why I was looking so worried, it's because of what happened in the last chapter." He said as he opened the book in his hands and we see what happened. "Our two riders meet the swordsman of earth Terra Quake, aka Kamen Rider Buster appeared and destroyed the Golem Megido with strike of the Sword of Tremors. And he has a son name Stone. The king of Parenting! He really stands out!" Tassel yelled out but coughed a bit. "Sorry, a little tickled in the throat." He took a sip of his tea then continue. "After Fluttershy and Pinkie took little Stone for a walk, a Hanzaki Megid send out white books to trap not only Stone and Cadance, but a few other people. Poor Fluttershy blamed herself for what happened. When the riders went to Wounder World and destroyed the Megiddo, the world didn't return to normal, which confused everyone." He closed the book and looked at the readers. "I'm really worried for them. I hope they can find out how they can fix all this." Tassel said as he pulled out a new book from the bookshelf and opened it. We are then pulled into the new chapter of the story. In the Northern Base, the three riders told Sophia what happened. "This is very unusual. The people should have returned to this world once the foe was defeated." Surge said. "Then why has it not..." he said while wondering what happened. Terra slammed his fist on the table in frustration. "I'm sorry, Stone..." He apologized to his son. "I couldn't save you." He blamed himself. "It must be difficult for you, Mr. Quake." Surge said but Terra looked at him with anger in his eyes, which scared him. "Children are like treasures." Terra said as he tood up. "Stone means everything to me!" He shouted. "Mr. Quake..." Flash said as he walked up to him. "I promise you. I will save Stone." He told Terra. Arabia looked at him when he said "promise". "Again with that promise nonsense?" Terra asked with an unhappy look on his face when he looked at Flash. "Don't make promises you can't keep!" He said as he took hold Flash's jacket. "Your girlfriend made a promise with Stone, right? Then why isn't he here right now, huh?! Where's her shame?!" He asked with anger in his voice. Surge ran to stop Terra. "Mr. Quake, I must ask you to--" Surge try to stop him but Terra knock him away and hit the giant book next to the stars and fell to the ground. "Do you know what I'm going through right now as a parent?" Terra asked Flash as he took hold of his jacket again. "I know Twilight and she will keep her promise, just as I will." Flash answered. Terra didn't say another word and let go of Flash. Flash then went to check on the girls. "Wait for me!" Surge called out as he got up and went with him. "What is with that guy?!" Terra asked when the two left. Arabia had an upset look on her face and walked right up to Terra. At the Megido lar, the hand written device continue to write. "Doesn't look like your Megido amounted to anything after all..." Legeiel teases. "You really think so?" Zooous asked, and that made Legeiel wonder what he meant. "Just you wait and see." He told them. Back in Wounder World, the peaces of the destroyed Megido gathered and reformed. Back at the book shop, the girls were not only comforting Fluttershy but also trying to figure out why the people hasn't returned back to the real world. "Maybe there was more than one there and you just missed it." Spike assumed. "If that were true, then it would have been with that lizard one." Rarity said while she pet him. "Then why didn't the people come back yet?" Rainbow complained as she paced around. "Mr. Quake must be so worried about his son. And it's all my fault." Fluttershy said while looking down. "No it's not, you couldn't have known this was going to happen sugarcube." Applejack reasure. Just then, Flash and Surge came through the Book Gate back from the Northern Base. "Hey, how's Mr. Quake?" Twilight asked. "He's still upset about all this." Flash said as he sat down. "But that Megido's body was really slippery and hard to slice." He thought out loud. "I was thinking the same thing." Twilight said as she sat next to him. Twilight then saw some books on a shelf and went to check them. "And Rarity, he told us that he wasn't a lizard..." She reminded Rarity while she checked each book. "Well if he wasn't a lizard, what was he?" Rainbow asked. "I agree with Ms. Dash." Surge said as he walked next to Twilight. "It's gotta be around here somewhere..." Twilight said as she looked through the books. "What are you looking for Twi?" Applejack asked. "Please don't misunderstand Twilight. None of her promises are made without consideration." Arabia told Terra back at the Northern Base. "Then what, huh?" Terra asked. "The memories she lost 12 years ago..." She started. "The promise she couldn't keep..." She said with a sad look. "I understand she feelings all too well." Everyone in the room was thinking back about what happened 12 years ago. Then Arabia hold out a yellow Wounder Ride Book with the title says "Needle Hedgehog" and offered it to Terra. "Take this. Please, lend them your support." She told him before she forwarded. "Will you put your faith in Twilight and Flash?" She asked of him. Back at the book shop, Twilight continue to look at the books on the shelf till she found what she was looking for. "Found it." She said as she pulled out a book from the bookshelf and opened it up. "An animal encyclopedia?" Spike asked when everyone gathered. "Oh I have one of my own." Fluttershy said. "That's nice and all, but how does this help us?" Rainbow asked as Twilight scanned through the pages of the book. "Right here!" Twilight said as she found the page she was looking for. The picture on the page looked simular to the Megido they saw before. "Amphibia Urodela Cryptobranchoidea." She read the the page. "Thought I have not seen one in the flash." Surge said as he looked at picture. "This is it, he's not a lizard after all." Flash said after seeing the page. "Then what the heck is he? And what is a Amphiba-what ever?" Rainbow asked. "It's a sanshouuo salamander, also known as a Hanzaki." Fluttershy answered. Flash went over to another bookshelf and pulled out a book titled, "The Folktales and Superstition of the world. ~Rivers and Waterside~". "What you got there, Flash" Sunset asked when she saw him hold the book. "Something that might help." He answered as he opened it and read the page out loud. "This creature is said to be able to regenerate, even after its body had been split into two." He closed the book and looked to the others. "So that's why Stone, Cadance, and the others haven't returned. The Megiddo is still alive." "I see." Surge said as he thought about it. "But this raises another question. Why gather all those people?" He asked. "Well..." Twilight think back about what that Megiddo said. ("I won't let you get in the way of the birth of our king!" The Hanzaki Megid said.) She then gave the book to Fluttershy and went over to another bookshelf to look for another book and she found it. "Right here!" She said as she pulled the book out. "Legend of the Man-Eating Salamander?" Rarity read the cover when they all saw what she pulled out. When open the book to see what it says, Twilight read it out loud. "This story is about a salamander who ate a lot of people, allowing him to become the king of their kind." "Then Stone, Mrs. Cadance, and the captured citizens are to become its prey?" Surge asked with worry in his voice and Fluttershy was more worried than before. "You're kidding!" Rainbow said, hoping it was a joke. "So all those people are going to become salamander food?!" Pinkie freaked out. "He did say something about "the birth of our king"..." Sunset said with a worried look on her face. "He's creating a giant king salamander using people as its prey. That's gotta be it." Flash said as he paced around. "Then let's return to the other world and search for where they're being held." Twilight said as she put the book down. "And the enemy as well." Flash said. "Agree." Surge said as he, Flash and the girls went out but Fluttershy stopped them. "Hold it just one second! That world's gotta be huge, right?" Fluttershy pointed out. "How are we gonna find them?" She asked, she then saw Terra coming out from the Book Gate and the others looked to him. "Mr. Quake..." Surge said when he saw him. "Girl." Terra said to Twilight. "What did you promise my son?" He asked her. "I promised that I would show him how amazing books can be." Twilight answered. "Twilight, why are you so enamored with promises?" Surge asked. Twilight was not sure how to answer Surge, but then she thought back to her dream. When she was trying to hold on tight to the little girl who was being sucked into a vortex, but neither could hold for very long. "Good question..." She said sounding unsure of herself. "But even I'm not quite sure." She told Surge, before she walked up to Terra. "Still, if we have the power to save others, then we should use it." She said. Flash and the girls smile, knowing she's right. "Not just for Stone and Cadance, but for everyone else as well." Twilight said. Terra looked at her like he was looking at an long lost friend. "I see..." Was all he said before he smiled as he walked pass her. "Was it something she said?" Sprit asked while she was on Twilight's sholder, confused as to why he was smiling. He looked at the fairy on Twilight's sholder before he said, "Lets get a move on!" He then walked out of the shop. Twilight looked at Sprit and just shrugged before she, Flash, and Surge follow him. The girls follow them, but Fluttershy had to grabbed her bag. "Wait a second!" Fluttershy called out as she grabbed her bag. "I'm coming too!" She ran to the door before she tripped and fell down on the ground and all the things from her bag, including a familiar item. The small white book that took Stone, Cadance, and all those people. Fluttershy saw it when she was getting up. "Isn't that book..." She said as she started to get a crazy idea. Elsewhere, in what looked to be a factory. Calibur walked inside while holding an Alter Book in his hand. "Megido that hath been sealed..." He said as he opened the book to reveal a Megiddo face behind chains. "I now free you from your chains." He then flipped the chains and released the Megido from the boom. Black books fly out from the book before they gathered behind Calibur and took form. Desast "I smell it..." He said as he rose his head in a dark tone. "The world, its books, its swords, they chafe against one another." He said as he stood up. "A remarkable scent in both the best and worst of ways." He said with a bit of joy in voice. "It's been 12 years since you were last outside." Calibur told Desast. "How are you feeling?" He asked, making Drsast scoffed. "I don't have to tell you anything." Is what he said to Calibur before he walked away. Back at the book shop, Fluttershy picked up the white book from the floor. "I must be crazy to do this." She said to herself. "But if I use this book, I can go to where Stone and Cadance is." With the riders and the girls, they ran to the spot where Stone disappeared. "Okay, once we get there. Rainbow Dash will use speed to search for where all the people is while you three keep the Megiddo busy." Twilight told her plan to save all the people. The symbol at the end of Terra's sword shine and a book opened up to the other world. Before they could go threw, they heard someone spoke to them. "I thought there was a nice scent..." When they looked to see who spoke to them, they saw Desast stepped out. "The swordsman of fire is here, I presume?" He asked as he looked at them. "Who the HEY is that?!" Applejack asked when she saw him. "Desast..." Terra answered her, the others felt a chill down their spines when he said that name. "You're still frolicking with these contraptions?" Desast asked as he took out a red Wounder Ride Book with an eagle on the cover and the title saying, "Storm Eagle." "A Wonder Ride Book!" Surge said when he saw the book. "Where'd he get that?!" Twilight asked. "He's killed his fair share of swordsmen..." Terra said with a stern look on his face. "So now I'm guessing he's after Flash?" Sunset asked with concern. Flash stepped up ready to fight him. "Mr. Quak, Surge, girls, you all go save Stone and Cadance." He said as he hold the Jack and the Beanstalk book out to Terra. Terra then thought back to Arabia was giving him the Needle Hedgehog book. ("Will you put your faith in Twilight and Flash?" She asked him.) Terra looked at him and smiled as he took the book from him. "No, this guy's all mine!" He said as he walked pass Flash. He then tossed Flash the book Arabia gave him. "I'll leave Stone to all of you." He said as he ready his sword. He then took out his Genbu Shinwa book and open the cover. Genbu Shinwa He then close the book and place it in the sword. As it glowed, he stood in the center of a library as a giant version of the book appeared behind him. He then pressed a button on his sword and the book open up to reveal the rider inside it and so did the giant one. As the giant book opened, rocks fly out of it as Terra swing his sword around his shoulder. Genbu Shinwa "Henshin!" Terra shouted as the rocks gathered infront of him and he swing his sword down on them. The rocks went everwhere before they gathered on Terra, transformed him to Kamen Rider Buster. Fracture the Enemy! Divide the land! ~Grumble, rumble! Gekido, the Sword of Tremors! Buster then took a battle stands, ready to fight Desast. "You'll keep your promise, won't you?" He asked both Flash and Twilight. They both smile at him, then they looked at each other and then to him. "We will!" Flash said to Buster. "Lets go!" Twilight said as they ran to the book. "We'll leave him to your care." Surge said as he followed Flash and the girls, leaving Buster to fight Desast. The two charged at each other and fought as the others went through the book to the other world. From behind a pillar, not far from the others went through the book. Calibur watched them go to the other world. In Wounder World. Near the creek was a bunch of bubbles gathered in one big one. And inside the bubbles, were the people who disappeared and trapped in the bubbles. Two in pedicure had Stone and a woman with light pink skin with wild pink and yellow hair. This woman is Cadance and in her arms was a baby girl with white skin with purple and blur swirly hair, this baby girl name's Flurry Heart. "It's going to be okay, Flurry." Cadance said to her baby girl. "Father..." Stone said, as he was scared. Cadance noticed Stone was scared. "Hey, I'm sure your dad is doing all that he can to find you. Just don't lose hope." She said to comfernt him. The two then heard what sounds like a girl screaming, like this girl was falling out of the sky. And wouldn't you know it, there was. It was Fluttershy who fell from the sky and landed on one of the bubbles before she fell through it. "Fluttershy?!" Cadance asked in shocked when she saw her. "One of the girls from the bookstore?" Stone asked when he saw her. "Stone! Cadance! Flurry Heart?!" Fluttershy said after she gathered herself from the fall. "Why is Flurry here?!" She asked Cadence. "I was holding Flurry when this odd book appeared out of nowhere. And when I opened it, it brought me and Flurry here." Cadance answered Fluttershy. "But why are you here?" She asked her. "I'm here to help! Don't worry, I'll call for help!" Fluttershy said as she pulled something from her bag, it was fireworks. "Where'd you get fireworks?" Stone asked when she pulled out the fireworks. "I bought some from Trixie before I came here." She answered him. She set off the fireworks from within the bubble she was in. Not too far, the two riders and the girls saw the fireworks. "What could that be?" Surge asked when he saw the fireworks. "Let's check it out." Flash said as he and the others went to where the fireworks were launched. Back in the real world. Buster was having a hard time with Desast. He try to slash him with his sword, but Desast jumped out of the way and got out his sword. He then strike Buster with his sword and then he somersault to Buster and brought his sword down on him. Buster try to block the attack with his sword but the attack went through. Buster jumped back after he got hit. "Man, that hurt..." He said, sounding a bit tired and in pain. "What's wrong, old man? Feeling rusty?" Desast asked, insulting Buster. "It's been 12 years, y'know. Go a little easy on me!" Buster respond. He then swung he sword at Desast, but he jumped out of the way. Buster jumped too, and as the two clashed blades, Buster got the upper hand and pushed Desast to the ground. He slammed his sword to try and hit Desast while he's down, but Desast rolled out of the way and got up.The two then clashed blades again, trying to get one over of the other. Back in the other world. Fluttershy's hair was messy, because she launched the fireworks from within the bubble she's in. "Are you okay?" Cadance asked. "I'm fine." Fluttershy answered her. "I just hope someone saw the those fireworks." She said as she looked around for the riders and her friends. "I shouldn't have opened that book. Books aren't fun at all!" Stone said with a sad tone. "But Stone..." Fluttershy said. Then the three heard Twilight's voice. "You're wrong." The three saw Twilight and the others come in. "Twilight!? What are you doing here?!" Cadance asked in shocked when she saw Twilight. "We're here to save all of you!" Sprit said as she fly up to her. Cadance was surprised to see a real life fairy flying infront of her. "Books can be amazing as long as they're not being used for evil." Twilight said, but then she saw Flurry Heart in Cadance's arms and was shocked to see her niece here. "Flurry Heart?! Why is Flurry here here?!" Twilight asked. "Don't worry, Twi. We'll get them out of there." Flash said to calm her down. "But how do we get them out of those bubbles?" Sunset asked as she and the other girls looked over the bubbles. "Leave that to me." Surge said as he step forward. The girls saw him pull out his Lion Senki book and they got out of the way. All but Sprit stood behind Surge as he opened the book and pages fly out from the book and took form of the lion. Lion Senki Cadance hold Flurry tight when she saw the lion. Then the lion did a water blast at the bubbles the people were in and free them all. "Hey! Warn me next time you do that!" Sprit shouted as she was soaked from the lion's water blast. Then Twilight ran and gave Cadance and Flurry a hug. "I'm so glad you both are okay." She said as Cadance hugged her back. The people were happy to be free from the bubbles. The only one who was not happy was the Hanzaki Megid who ran over. When the people saw him, they all ran to get away from him. Twilight pulled Cadence away and to her friends, to keep Cadance and Flurry safe. Fluttershy even pulled Stone behind her. "My prey for the king..." The Hanzaki howled. "How dare you!" He shouted at the riders and the girls with rage. "I see you have regenerated." Surge said to the Megido. "I'll save Stone, Cadance, and everyone else!" Flash said as he and Surge puts on their drivers and opened up their Wounder Ride Books. Lion Senki. Peter Fantasista Brave Dragon Flash even open the Needle Hedgehog book Terra gave him. Needle Hedgehog. This animal survives the law of the jungle barbed with thousands of needles Surge place his two books in his driver. Lion Senki in the middle slot and Peter Fantasista in the third slot. As the two books glowed, Surge stood in the middle of a library shrouded by water. Then two giant versions of the two books appeared behind him. He then pulled out his sword from the driver and the two books opened up. Unsheathe the Current! "Henshin!" Surge said as he slashed his sword and transformed into Kamen Rider Blades. ~Behold, the shining Lion Fantasista! Roar! Shine! The claws of fantasy dwell within the blue swordsman! After Flash place the Brave Dragon book in the first slot and the Needle Hedgehog book in the middle slot of his driver, he pulled out the sword and the two books open up. Unsheathe the Flame! "Henshin!" Flash said as he slashed the sword and transformed into Kamen Rider Saber, in a new Wounder Rider form. When two books synthesize, the hallowed blade is infused with power! ~Wounder Rider! Dragon! Hedgehog! The brand equipped with two aspects shall be honed! Cadance was surprised to see Twilight's boyfriend transformed into an armor. "I know, it supperis me when I first saw it." Twilight said to Cadance. "We'll talk later about all this once that thing is gone." Cadance told Twilight. The others were amazed to see Saber's new Wounder Rider form. "Try all you want, it's no use!" The Hanzaki told the two riders as he changed with sword in hand. "Stay safe." Saber told the group as he and Blades charged at the monster. "Go get'em!" Pinkie cheered. Saber blocked the Hanzaki's sword and kicked him back and Blades use the chains on his right arm and wrapped it around the monster's arm. "Now's your chance!" Blades called out as he hold the monster with the chains. Saber closed the Needle Hedgehog book from his driver and scand it at the tip of his sword. Hedgehog! Hmm, hmm... Learning Flash! After he placed it back in his driver, he pressed the button on the handle of the sword. Spikes formed on the sword and surprised Saber a bit. He then slashed the sword right at the Megido and the needles on the sword shot at it. Saber then slashed the sword at the Hanzaki, causing it to fall to its knees and explode. "All right!" Saber said when it exploded. But as Saber sigh, a piece of the Megido hit him and freaked him out. But that one piece of the monster gathered smaller pieces of its self and regenerated. "Regenerate!" The Hanzaki shouted as he surprise the two riders and spun around, slashing them. Back in the real world, Buster and Desast continue their fight. "The young guys are doing their best..." Buster said as he blocked Desast's sword with his, then kicked his sword to knocking Desast back. Desast quickly balance himself and struck Buster a couple of times and got behind him. "So I can't afford to lose here!" Buster told himself as he slashed his sword at Desast. But Desast blocked the attack with his sword and flipped Buster over himself and to the ground. Desast fell when he flipped Buster, but quickly got up and charged at him. Buster blocked Desast's sword with his armored arm and brought his sword down to try and hit Desast. But Desast dodged it and thrust his sword forward to hit Buster. Desast then kicked Buster back to the ground. "Time to finish this." Desast said. "Whoa there. Don't just decide that for yourself!" Buster shout as he got up from the ground. Buster then close the book on his sword and took it out. He then pulled out the book Flash gave him and opened the cover. A tale of fantastical heights unravel when a boy receives a bean that became a giant beanstalk. He then close the book and place it in his sword. As it glowed and a giant version of the book appeared behind him, he pressed the button on the handle and the book open up and he upgrade his armor. Jack-to-Domamenoki Fracture the Enemy! ~Grumble, rumble! Gekido, the Sword of Tremors! Gekido: Remastered. The colossal armored sword fractures the earth, bringing forth the might of the North! Desast was not impressed by this. He just slammed his sword down and sparks went off the ground and dragged a cross. "Calamity Strike." He said after he brought up his to the air and charged at Buster. Desast swung his sword like no tomorrow as he went straight to Buster. Buster blocked Desast's attack, but the attack pushed him back and knew he couldn't block it for long. So Buster scand his Genbu Shinwa book with his sword. Genbu Shinwa Ka-bam! Gekido Skimming Smite Ka-bam! Buster stopped in place as four big vines reached behind Desast and stopped his attack. "Grand Revolution!" Buster called his new attack as he knocked Desast back and slingshot slashed pass him with the vines. Both Desast and Buster fell to their knees as they felt the damage they took from each others attack. Desast felt like something was missing, so he checked himself and he lost the Wounder Ride Book. When he looked towards Buster, he saw Buster holding the Storm Eagle book. "I'll be taking this." Buster said as he hold the book. Desast laughed at this. "Fine by me." He said, like he doesn't care about the book at all. "Things will only get more interesting. It's all yours." He said as he walked away and vanished. Buster detranformed back to Terra when Desast left and got up from the ground. "Saber... I entrust my son to you." Terra said, hoping that he and Blades will save his son and destroy the Megido. Back in Wounder World, Saber got hit by the Hanzaki. Blades charged and try to strike the Megido, but it blocked his attack and counter attack Blades. Both riders recovered and try to slash the Hanzaki, but thanks to its slime their swords slide off it. The Hanzaki took this opening and struck both riders with his sword. Both riders then slashed their swords at the Megido, but it just knock both slashes away. Both riders took this opening and Saber kicked the Megido as Blades try to punch it. But the Megido blocked their attacks and counter them, knocking both of them to the ground. "This is troublesome." Blades said as he got up. "I'm sure his power has increased!" He assumed. "Surge!" Saber called out as he got up. "Three Wonder Ride Books can be used together, right?" He asked. "You're correct, but why--" Blades asked, but the Hanzaki charged at them and try to strike them before he could finish. But the two dodged the attack. "Then I'm gonna borrow this!" Saber said as he took the Peter Fantasista book from Blades's driver. "What are you intending to do?" He asked Saber as he closed the two books in his driver and place his sword back in the driver. "I think we have a chance if we use three books at once." Saber answered as he opened the Peter Fantasista book. Peter Fantasista Twilight, Cadance, Stone, Sprit, and the girls watch as Saber place the book in the third slot on his driver. All three books glowed and when he stood in the middle of a library, three giant versions of the three books appeared behind him. Then Saber yanked out the sword from the driver and all three books open up. Saber then transformed into his new Wounder Rider form. Unsheath the Flame! When three books synthesize... ~The hallowed sword is brimming with power! ~Wounder Rider! Dragon! Hedgehog! Peter Fan! The power of three books aspects has brought forth the advent of an almighty blade. The Hanzaki try to strike at Saber, but he blocked the attack and knock the monster back. "So this is the power of three books!" Saber said as he was amazed by the power he feels. Even the girls were in awe by this. "Peter combined with dragon and hedgehog!" Sprit shouted in amazement, then both her and Rainbow Dash shouted, "So awesome!" "Peter Fan?" Stone asked in amazement when he saw Saber's new form. "Looks like you have a interest in the Peter's Story." Rarity said as she noticed Stone bewilderment. "First things first..." Saber said as he took a battle stands. He then took the hook and chains, and throw it right at the Megido. When he missed it, he pulled it back and the chain wrapped around the Megido. He then flicked the cover of the Needle Hedgehog book and pulled the Megido towards him. Needle Hedgehog Saber then slashed the Megido after it got close to him. A red, yellow, and blue slashes form from the sword. As the Megido got up from the ground, the hedgehog on Saber's chestplate eyes glowed and spikes shot out from the Hanzaki's body and it fell back to the ground. "What is with this unorthodox fighting?" Blades asked as he watched Saber fight. "I'm not going that easily!" The Hanzaki Megid said as it struggle to stand up. When it did, it charged at Saber and try to strike him. But Saber round house kicked it away. Saber then charged at the monster and kicked it back to the ground. "I determine how this story ends!" Saber said as he placed his sword back in the driver and press the button on the handle of the sword, for a big finisher. Final Page! Draconic Fury! Dragon! Hedgehog! Peter Fan! Three Volume Strike! F-F-F-Fire! From behind Saber, the three Wounder Ride Books appeared and opened up and the red dragon emerged from the Brave Dragon book, yellow needles fly out from the Needle Hedgehog book, and a greenish blue fairy fly out from the Peter Fantasista book. "A dragon and a fairy?" Stone asked when he saw the two mythical creatures. "Peter Pan is friends with us fairys, so it would make sense..." Sprit said as she flew to the other fairy. "Show them how it's done, girl!" Sprit told the other fairy. After the two double high five each other, the other fairy grew to human size with big muscles and that surprised the girls and Stone. "Muscular and... cute?" Blades said in confusion when he saw that. "What kinda..." Twilight was just as confused as Blades. "Can you do that, Sprit?" Sunset asked. "No, I think it's just her." Sprit answered. The other fairy winked before she took the chain and Saber swing it around with fairy, and the dragon breath fire on the fairy as the chain swung around near it. Saber swung around a few times before he launched the fairy with the hook right at the Megido. "Off you go!" Saber shouted as he threw both the fairy and the chain. "HI-YAAAAAA!" The fairy shouted as she was shot right at the Megido and knock it down to the ground with a pile driver. "Oooo, that had to hurt!" Pinkie flinched when she saw the fairy did that to the Megido. "I don't get it..." Twilight said, still confused by what she was seeing. "But... it sure is exciting!" Stone said, amazed by what he was seeing. The fairy nodded at Stone and blow him a kiss before she shrunk back down and spikes shot out from the Hanzaki's body; more than before. "I can't regenerate like this...!" Was the Hanzaki Megid's last words before he exploded and was destroyed for good. "Amazing!" Cadance said as she, the girls, and Stone ran to Flash. "You okay, Stone?" Flash asked. "Yeah, that sure was interesting!" Stone said with amazement in his voice. "Could I read some more books when we get back?" He asked Twilight. She, Flash,and the girls were so glad that Stone is now interested in books. Twilight gave him a smile as she nodded yes to Stone. "You all know, you going to have to explain to me about all this when we get back." Cadance told Twilight and her friends. Back in the real world, all the people who opened the small white books returned back to the real world. When Cadance and Flurry returned back to their home, Shining saw his wife and daughter returned and didn't waste time when he rushed over to them and hugged them. "Are you both okay?!" Shining asked his wife who gave him a node. She knew she had a lot to tell him, but Shining already knew what happened to caused her to return. Fluttershy return to the book shop and she couldn't be more happy to be back. Stone returned back to the spot where he was taken. He turned to see his dad there. "Father!" He shouted with so much joy as he ran to Terra. "Stone!" Terra said as he keeled down to hug his son. As the two reunited, Terra thought about Flash and his promise. "A man who keeps his promise, huh?" He asked himself. Back in Wounder World. Flash stretch his arms out and Twilight was happy that her sister in law and niece was back to the real world. "All's well that ends well!" Sprit said as she landed on Twilight's sholder. "You can say that again." Flash said as he was tired from the fight and fell to the ground. "Whoa, you okay there partner?" Applejack asked. Flash nodded as he tried to get up. "Using three volumes can even burden the body of a seasoned swordsman." Surge explained. "Very reckless of you, I must say." Surge said as he helped Flash up. "Come on! Let head back so we can celebrate!" Pinkie shouted with so much joy as she bounced around. As Surge helped up Flash, he saw someone, that send fear though him. When the girls and Flash saw what he was looking at, they also had a sense of fear going through them. Pinkie even froze in the air when she saw him. (Its Pinkie Pie, don't question it.) Twilight was frozen with horror as she saw the amored man from her dreams. The one who betrayed the Sword of Logos, Kamen Rider Calibur. "That's..." Twilight said with so much fear in her voice as she had a flashback of her dreams. "The swordsman from my dream..." She thought to herself. The armored man drew out his sword and the others but Twilight move back. He then walked forwarded, closer to them. Sunst saw that Twilight wasn't moving, so she grabbed her to pull her back. But as she grabbed Twilight's arm, Sunset's magic reacted on its own and she got flashes of Twilight's dream. And when it stopped, Sunset quickly pulled Twilight back. At the Northern Base. Sophia sensed something was wrong and knew what it was. "The swordsman of darkness...." Sophia said. Back in Wounder World. Flash and Surge transformed into their rider forms and try to fight Calibur. But Calibur was proven to be stronger than them as he easily blocked their swords. Calibur then pushed their swords back and slashed both Saber and Blades. "His strength is off the charts..." Saber said as he was on the ground. "Hand over Rekka, the Sword of Flames and Brave Dragon at once." Calibur demand in a dark tone. He then placed his sword in the holder on his belt and pressed the trigger on the handle on the sword. Uncover the Darkside! Explicating Flash Both Saber and Blades quickly got up, but Calibur brought his sword up high and dark energy gathered into the sword, before he pull the trigger again and send a power slash right at the two riders. But before it could reach them, a bolt of lightning stike the ground and blocked the dark slash. Both the two riders and the girls saw who it was that's blocking the attack. She looked to be a rider with the same driver as Saber and Blades, only between the blade and the handle was a yellow emblem. And on her left shoulder, was looked to be a golden oil lamp. She swiped the attack away and that send Calibur to a different part of Wonder World. With the girls and the two riders, they all wounder who this new rider is and why is she here. The storycontinues > Volume 1, chapter 5: Our friend, the swordswoman of thunder. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to Tassel inside his house and he is holding an umbrella, while he looked outside his window. He turns and see you reading this new chapter. "Bonne lecture!" He said. "Oh sorry, I'm just glad Saber was able to save all those people. Though, after what happened after...." He pause with a worry look on his face. He then walked to the table and picked up the book of the last chapter. "Perhaps I should just show you." He said as he opened the book and we see what happened in the last chapter. "Thanks to Twilight's book smarts, she figure out what that Megido was." Tassel explained as we see what happened. "But when they found out that those people were about to be salamander food, they had to hurry. When Fluttershy try to catch up with the others, she found the same small white book that took all those people. And she had an idea, the resone why is because she felt guilty when Terra's son was taken. So she wanted to right a wrong. And it was obvious that Calibur was afraid of Saber, it's probably the resone why he set free Desast. And while Buster fought Desast in the real world, Saber and the others went to Wounder World and saved the kidnapped people and finally destroyed the Hanzaki. When Buster was on the ropes, he used the book Saber gave him to not only to get out of that jam, he got back the Storm Eagle book from Desast." "But shortly after the people returned back to the real world, Calibur went after Saber's sword and Brave Dragon book for some reason. Tassel said as he wounder why Calibur wanted them. "Twilight was in shock to see the armor man from her dreams in real life. Not only that, but Calibur was too strong for our two riders to handle. Just when he was about to end our two riders, a fourth rider appeared and saved them." Tassel close the book and put it away. "I feel Sunset will help her friend after what just happened." Tassel said as he went over to the bookshelf and pulled out a new book. "And I bet you all want to know who this new rider is, right?" He asked as hold the book infront of him. "Well you all are about to find out." He smiled as he opened the book and we enter the new chapter. We open to Fantastic Books, where we see both Twilight and Flash doing somethings. Like Twilight mumbling somethings like, Sword of Logos, Wounder World, Calibur, Megido, Sacred Swords, and Wounder Ride Books. She even drew a graph with those words and connect each word to another as she tried to figure out how it's all connected to her and her family. With Flash, he paced around the room thinking about yesterday. On the front desk was looked to be a holder that he kept the books he has. Sitting on a table in the room with the two was Spike and Sprit, watching the two. "How long have they've been doing this for?" Spike asked Sprit as she looked at a clock. "It looks to be about, 5 hours." She answered. Both the dog and the fairy sigh as they continue to watch the two. After what happened yesterday, Flash was thinking about what happened yesterday in the Northern Base, while Twilight thought about her talk with Sunset after the returned to the real world. (Yesterday with Flash) "Desast and Calibur..." Terra started. "They're finally making their move, huh?" Him, Flash, and Surge returned to the Northern Base and informed Sophia about what had happened. "The anomalies and the creation of dangerous new books..." Surge said with a worried tone. "Furthermore, Calibur attempted to take Flash's Sacred Sword and Wonder Ride Book." He said as he looked towards Sophia. Sophia and Terra had worried looks on their faces when he said that last part, afraid that Calibur took them. "They weren't actually taken though." Flash reasure as he hold up his Sword driver with the sword inside it and the Brave Dragon book. Both were relieve that they weren't taken. "Our duty as the Sword of Logos is to protect the world and its books. They must be dealt with at once." Sophia told the four people in the room, she then looked to Surge. "Blades." "Yes." Surge responded. "I will look for the rainbow bubbles that appear when an anomaly manifests. We can capitalize on that" He said to the others, the he looked at Terra. "And you, Mr. Quake?" He asked him. "I'm going after Calibur." Terra said. "I will leave him to you." Sophia allowed Terra. "Flash, you should stay at the ready in the case of a Megido." Surge told him. Arabia didn't say word as she continued to look down, lost in her thoughts. Flash noticed that Arabia isn't paying attention. "Arabia?" Flash tried to get her attention but with no luck. "Well then!" Terra said as he wrapped his arm around Flash's sholder. "I'll be reducing each and every one of'em to rubble!" He said with a laugh before the big blue book behind him hit his head. "Ow!" The woman who hit Terra with big cover of the book, stepped out and it was Beat. "You're annoying." She told Terra as she stepped out before she looked at Flash with a angry look. "That's me all right." Terra said as a joke before he laughed again. "I heard you used three books at once! Don't be so reckless." Beat shouted at Flash as she took his Sword driver away from him and put her hand infront of her face, as like she didn't want him to look at her. "The Sword of Flames is weeping." She said as she back up to the computer on the table in the middle of the room and attached the driver to it. "W-who are you?" Flash asked. "This is Metal Beat. A bashful swordsmith who maintains the Sacred Swords." Surge answered. On the computer, Beat analyze the Sword of Flames. "You're barely using half the sword's power." Beat told Flash as she analyzed the sword, she then hold out her hand. "Give me your Wonder Ride Book." She command Flash. "Okay." Flash said as he placed the book in her hand. But as he did, she struggle to take it from him till she got it. She then open a drawer under the table and place the book in a slot of a holder inside, then closed it. The computer showed the sword getting power from the book. "Many types of people out there, huh Arabia?" Flash asked as he walked over to Arabia. When she looked at him, she wounder what he was talking about. "Oh, don't worry. I'll make sure to stop him." Is all she said, confusing Flash but everyone in the room knew what she meant. (Yesterday with Twilight) After she and the others returned to the real world. Twilight was lost in her thoughts, not paying attention to what her friends were saying. "Did you see that rider back there!?" Pinkie shouted. "That Calibur guy was dark and creepy! And that yellow rider just came in from a bolt of lightning! And then-" Applejack put her hand on Pinkie's mouth. "I think Fluttershy gets the point Pinkie." Applejack told her. "Oh my, is Flash and Surge okay?" Fluttershy asked with concern. "Yeah, there're okay. They went to that north base to tell this Sophia woman. What a weird name." Rainbow said. "Yeah it is, Rainbow Dash." Pinkie agreed. "I must say, that rider we saw there looked absolutely gorgeous in that armor she wears." Rarity said. Sunst noticed Twilight was lost in her thoughts and she knew why. "Uh girls, me and Twilight will see you tomorrow. We have something important to talk about." Sunset said as she pulled Twilight to the side. Sunset and Twilight walked to the park and sat down on a bench. "You want to talk about what happened back there, Twi?" She asked her. "Oh uh well..." Twilight didn't know how to tell her friend. "Come on Twilight. You froze up when you saw that Calibur guy. Don't get me wrong. When I saw him, it felt all cold and dark event though the sun was out." Spike said as he popped his head out of her backpack. "Oh Spike, I almost forgot you were there." Twilight said. "Well what's the problem? You can tell us." Sprit said as she flew out from Twilight's pocket. Twilight looked at her pet dog and her two friends, and she sighed. "Twilight. When I grabbed you to get you away from the fight, my magic just reacted on its own and I saw into your mind." Sunset confessed, surprising Twilight. "I saw you as a little girl, Calibur with those Megid things, and a little girl who you were trying to save." Twilight was shocked to hear that Sunset saw what she dreamt about every year on her birthday. "To be honest, I don't know why my geo went off on its own. It even surprised me when it did." "Sunset." Twilight knew she had to tell her, even with Spike and Sprit here too. "These things you saw in my mind, they were from a dream I have on my birthday. Ever since I was a little girl, I always have that dream and can never figure out what it means." She had a sad look on her face when she told her all that. "Okay, that's odd." Sunset said as she think about all those things Twilight said. "If you keep having the same dream ever since you were young, why did I see it all of it when I grabbed your arm?" She asked, and that made Twilight wounder as well. "We all know that my geo allows me to see into others memories and feel what they felt in the past and I can't see what they dreamt." Both Spike and Sprit were looking Sunset, wondering what could she mean. "So, what if those dreams weren't dreams?" She asked. "You know Sunset..." Twilight said as she looked up to the sky. "I was wondering the same thing." Back at the book shop, in the present. Flash wounder why Arabia was acting weird, while Twilight tried to figure out what the dream meant when she keeps having it on her birthday and if it was a dream at all. "Well, that's it! I'm bored!" Sprit shouted as she lay down on her back. "Me too!" Spike said as he rolled on his back. "You don't have to shoulder this all on your own. Just focus on doing what you need to do." Terra told Arabia back at the Northern Base. "Many swordsmen and women were defeated and their books stolen, including my father's. Because my uncle betrayed the guild." Arabia said with gilt in her voice. "And my friend, Twilight's situation..." She felt even more gilt for what her uncle did to her oldest friend. Terra looked at her and saw the gilt, like she was to blame but she's not. "Calibur was your uncle..." Terra started as he thought back. "And Sombra, he was a good friend of mine." He said as he remembered when Calibur, aka Sombra were with them instead of agenst them. Arabia looked at him with determination in her eyes. "I'll do whatever I can to defeat Calibur--" "Like I said." She said before she got interrupted by Terra. "This is the entire guild's responsibility." He said as he walked over to Arabia and mess with her hair. "Take care of the cleanup!" He said as he left the room. As Terra left, Arabia couldn't stop thinking about her uncle. Ever since what her uncle did 12 years ago, she felt like it was her fault. Some where in the city. Zooous, one of the three Megid who is working with Calibur walked up some steps as he was holding a Altr Book in his hand. "Come on out." He said as he opened the book and free the Megid with in. "The hunt begins." He told the Megid as it took form. The Piranha Megid. Pirahna no Lunth Back at the book shop. The girls came by to see how Flash and Twilight were doing. Flash told the girls what he and the other riders talked about yesterday and Spike told them what Twilight was doing. Sunset was concerned about her friend, she wounder if uncovering Twilight's mysterious past will either help Twilight or hurt her. Surge came through the Book Gate with the Sword of Flames and the Brave Dragon book and placed them both on table. "Metal entrusted this to me." Surge said after he set them down. "I will be investigating the rainbow bubbles." He told Flash and Twilight what he was going to do. "You mean those bubbles that floats around in Wounder World?" Spike asked Surge who nodded yes. "Awesome! Lets go!" Pinkie shouted with joy. "We can show you around town to help out!" "That is fine." Surge said as he walked slowly to the door. "Okay, lets go!" Pinkie said. "That's is not what I meant! There is no need!" Surge try to tell Pinkie. "Hey Surge..." Twilight called out to him, before Pinkie chased after Surge out the door. "Wait for me!" Pinkie called out as she went after him. "I better make sure she doesn't drive him crazy." Rainbow said as she went with them. "But I wanted to..." Twilight tried to tell but they were gone. "I guess I'll have to ask her directly." Twilight said as she grabbed her bag after she put Spike in it. "Ask who?" Flash asked Twilight. "An old friend." She answered. Elsewhere, Arabia watched the city on a rooftop somewhere while she remembers the time when she was younger. (Flashback of Arabia's childhood) "Daddy! Uncle Sombra!" A young Arbaia ran to her Dad that had bright yellow skin with night blue hair. And next to her father is a man with shadow black skin and hair with blood red eyes. "How's my little Night?" Her father asked as he hugged her. "Looks like you missed us." Sombra said with a smile on his face. "You've grown last time I saw you, haven't you?" He asked as he keeled down to her and brushed her hair back. When she stopped remembering, she brushed her hair back the way her uncle did. "Arabia." Twilight got her attention when she, Flash, and Sunset walked up to her. "Hey Twilight, Flash, Sunset..." Arabia said after she turned to see them. Sunset saw that Arabia has something she's hiding, before she smile. "Remember when we journeyed through the world of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer"?" Arabia asked Twilight. Twilight smile and laughed a bit as she remembered that. "What, is she saying that you two, lilteraly went to different books?" Spike asked as he popped his head out of her backpack. "Well yeah. We even played near the Mississippi river with Tom and his friend." Twilight told Spike. "I remember how Huckleberry Finn was when we splashed him with water." Arabia said as she laughed at the thought. "And like those two, me and Twilight are the best of friends." She said as she wrapped her arm around Twilight's shoulder. "What am I, chopped fairy wood?" Sprit asked as she fly infront of them. "And of course you too." Arabia said as she placed Sprit on her shoulder. "That's why I wanna save the world and Twilight's feelings!" Arabia shouted, confusing not only Twilight but Flash, Sunset, and Spike. "You haven't been yourself since you saw Calibur." She said as she looked at Twilight. "I didn't want say it, but she's right. What's going on, Twi?" Flash asked as he agreed with Arabia. Twilight knew she wanted to ask Arabia, she just didn't know how to tell her. Elsewhere, the Piranha Megid open up a blank book. In the Megid lar, the hand written device started to write when the Megiddo open the book. Near the ocean, the Piranha Megid send a cruise ship to Wounder World. "Hey, look over there!" Flash shouted as he and the girls saw the cruise ship disappeared from on top of the building. "We have to go!" He said as he and the girls went to the location where the cruise ship disappeared. In Wounder World, a bunch of fish swam in the air to where the cruise ship is. Near the water, on land a book opened up and Flash, Arabia, Twilight, and Sunset fell through it and landed there. Both Flash and Arabia had on Sword Drivers, only Arabia's had the same sword the yellow rider had. "Our prey has arrived!" The Piranha Megid shouted when he saw them, but then he hid behind some creates. "What the heck?" Sunset asked when she and the others saw the Megid. "He knows we can still see him, right?" Sprit asked. "I'll take them on, no matter what they try..." Arabia said with determination. "Without hesitation!" She shouted as she took out a yellow Wounder Ride Book with the title saying, "Lamp do Alangina" and open the cover to reveal the story within. Lamp do Alangina. A lamp of ancient origin from a distant land left behind legends of its extraordinary power. She then closed the book and place it in the third slot on her driver. The book glowed and she was standing in the middle of a library, with thunder clouds surrounded around her. Then a giant version of the book appeared behind her, as she took the handle of the sword and yanked it out of the driver and the book open up. Unsheathe the Lighting! When the giant book opened up, a djinn made of gold flew out of it. "Henshin." Arabia said as she slashed the sword in a O like slashed and the djinn merged with her and she transformed into amror of the rider Flash and the girls saw before, and the slash combined with her head helmet completing the armor. Arabia transformed into Kamen Rider Espada. ~Lamp do Alangina! Ikazuch: Volume One: When the djinn from the lamp and Ikazuchi, the Sword of Lightning unite, the amber blade shall shine with radiant splendor! Espada ready her sword as the Piranha just ran. But from behind her, the Piranha Megid try to attack her but Espada easily dodged his attack by moving to the side. "Eat this!" The Megid said as he try to strike her with his sword, but Espada blocked the attack too easily. The Piranha Megid got up on a stone raling then jumped at at Espada. When it slash at her, she blocked it again. The Piranha Megid spun around and strike at her, but Espada has proven yet again that she is great at defense as she blocked the attack again. She then knocked it off balance and thrust her sword at it. When it recover, it charged at Espada but she struck the Piranha Megid after she blocked another one of its attacks. She went passed it after she struck it, and lighting came off her when she spun around. She then charged at the monster and did a flip and strike the Piranha Megid. She then blocked another attack when it try to attack again. Espada then brought her sword up and electricity surged through it from the emblem. She then jumped up high in the air and strike the Piranha Megid when she came down. Ikazuchi, the Sword of Lightning Over by the cruise ship, the fish was eating the ship with the people still on board. "Hey, we need help!" A man called out as he waved his hand. "Over here! Hurry!" A woman yelled out. Flash and the girls saw the people on the ship. "There's people on that boat!" Sunset pointed out. Flash place the Brave Dragon book in his driver and prepare to transform. He yanked out the sword and the book open up. Unsheath the Flame! "Henshin!" He said as he slashed the sword and transformed into Kamen Rider Saber. ~Brave Dragon! Saber charged to save all those people, as did Twilight and Sunset. "Hand over Brave Dragon and the Sword of Flames at once." Calibur demand. When Twilight heard Calibur, she froze in place and looked back to see Calibur there ready to strike at Saber. Espada and Sunset saw it too. When Calibur strike at Saber, Saber blocked the attack with his sword. As the two clashed their swords, energy from both their books surged and connected. "What the--?!" Saber noticed this and wounder what was happening. It was almost like Calibur's book and his book are calling out to each other. Then the feedback knock both riders back and Saber fell to the ground. "Flash! Are you okay?!" Twilight asked as she went over to him. "I don't know. What's going on?" Saber asked as he checked his Brave Dragon book and driver. "As I figured..." Calibur said as he steadied himself. "What?!" Twilight asked, like Calibur knew what just happened. Espada stand where she is when she saw Calibur there. Espada then charged right at Calibur with sword in hand. When Saber stand up, Espada pushed him back down. "Move!" She shouted as she pushed him. She then clashed blades with Calibur. "Arabia, what's wrong?!" Sunset asked when she saw her pushed Saber out of the way. "It's none of your business!" Espada shouted with anger in her voice. Twilight was surprised to see her old friend was acting like this all of the sudden. When Saber got up again, the Piranha Megid tackled him back to the ground and hold him down as Saber hold his sword to block the Megid's sword. "Crunch crunch crunch..." The Piranha Megid said as it was biting on Saber's sword. "Its got sharp teeth!" Saber said when he saw its teeth. "Wait! It must be a piranha!" Twilight pointed out as she remembers the same thing she read in a book. Espada was slashing her sword to try and hit Calibur, but having no luck. "Why did you betray us, Uncle Sombra?!" She asked Calibur after he struck her and she hold on to his sword. Calibur didn't say a word and both Sunset and Twilight was shocked to hear that Calibur is her uncle. "You must have had a reason, right?!" Espada hoped to get something out of Calibur. But still he said nothing. "Answer me!" She shouted as she pushed him back and send lightning at him. With Saber, he knocked the Piranha Megid off him and put the Needle Hedgehog book and Peter Fantasista book in his driver and pulled out his sword to transform to his Wonder Rider form. Needle Hedgehog! Peter Fantasista! ~The hallowed sword is brimming with power! ~Wonder Rider! Saber then placed his sword back in the driver and press the button on the handle for the finisher before he yanked it out. Final Page! "Flaming Furry!" Saber called out as he stepped his sword into the ground. Dragon! Hedgehog! Peter Fan! Three Volume Slash! F-F-F-FIRE! He used the fairy dust to lift up the Piranha Megid into the air. He then shot needles at it from his head, then swung a wipe from his head and strike it two times. He then aimed the emblem of his sword at the Megid and shot a fire a stream of flames at the Megid destroying it and returned the ship back to the real world. With Espada, she was pushed back by Calibur whil they were fighting. "Answer me, Uncle Sombra!" She shouted at Calibur as she pushed back on the cover of her book. Lamp do Alangina "I have no quarrel with you." Is all Calibur as he closed the book on his belt and took it out and scand it on the sliver book shap on his sword. Final Lead! Jaaku Dragon Both riders powered up their swords. Espada gathered lightning to her sword while Calibur gathered darkness in his. Both the unleashed powerful slash at each other. Kurayami: Midnight Strike. Learning Flash Espada's lightning slash was cancelled out as Calibur's strike was coming at her. It came close to hit her right before Buster blocked the attack. "You hate to see it!" Buster said as he counter attack. Gekido Skimming Smite, Ka-bam! Buster gathered rocks to his sword and slammed it down at Calibur. When the dust clear, Calibur was gone. Both riders took out their books and detranformed back to Terra and Arabia. Flash rushed over to see if everything is okay. But Arabia looked really upset. Terra then walked to Arabia with an mad look on his face. "Have you forgotten your duty?!" Terra shouted as he grabbed her shirt. Arabia knocked his hand off her before she walked away. Twilight wanted to talk to her, so she ran infront of Arabia. "Arabia, wait!" Twilight said. But Arabia just walked pass her and not say a word to her. "That reaction..." Calibur said to himself. "It appears Brave Dragon is the key after all." He said as he walked down an ally. "Isn't it about time you told me..." A voice asked, making Calibur stop. From behind him stepped out one of the Megid he is working with. It was Storious. "Why you're so fixated on him?" Storious asked, wondering why he wants the Brave Dragon book. Calibur turned to look at Storious. "Avalon." Calibur answered. Surge, Pinkie, and Rainbow were walking till some caught their attention. "I don't believe it..." Surge said as he and the two girls ran to the thing that saw. A lottery machine. "An Arai model lottery machine! I have always wanted to try one!" Surge said in excitement. Pinkie gave the man who had the lottery machine some money so Surge can try it out. At the Megid lar "You talk a big game yet have nothing to show." Legeiel said to Zooous as he walked around the table. "Your everyday guy might think that this ends here..." Zooous told Legeiel. "But I'm no everyday guy." He said like he's got a trick up his selves. On the top of the same building, Arabia returned and she began to cry as she brushed her hair back. Terra came in with two sodas in his hands and saw Arabia upset. "Arabia!" He said to get her attention. "Catch." He tossed one of the cans and Arabia caught it. At first, Arabia didn't know what to say. Terra saw that she was still upset, so he yell and jumped towards her as he hold up his soda can like a sword. Arabia saw him coming and jumped out of the way. "What was that about?!" She asked him. "Just wanted to practice my swordsmanship for next time." Terra answered. He laughed as he opened his soda can. But he shook it too much that when he opened it up, it sprayed him in the face. "Sneak attacks are the tactic of cowards!" He shouted at the can. "Why you...huh?" He was about to say something to the can before he noticed the can was empty. "It's all gone! Come on, man!" He complained. "I was really looking forward to trying this! I've been holding on to it since yesterday!" As he cried over his empty can, Arabia did her best not to laugh at the scene play infront of her. She couldn't hold it anymore and burst out laughing. "Hey, quit laughing!" Terra shouted at her to stop. Arabia gathered herself before she stopped. "I apologize for what happened earlier." She said. Terra scoffed at that and spoke up. "You sure gave that boy and the two girls a shock." He told Arabia as he looked out to the city. "Aren't you going to tell them? Especially Twilight?" He asked Arabia. "Twilight has lost something really important." She said as she walked up next to him. "I don't want her to lose anything else." She then looked at him. "That's why I will protect her." Terra looked at her, before he asked her something "Is she weak enough to need protection in your eyes?" Arabia was confused by this question. He saw this confusion. "Jeez. You're just as stubborn as your uncle." He told her. "I wish he came and talked to me 12 years ago whenever he felt conflicted." He said as he walked off and laughed. Arabia watched him go and thought about what he said. Just as Terra walked around a corner, he run into Twilight and Flash coming up. "Mr. Quake." Flash said when they saw him. "Um, about Arabia..." Twilight was going to ask. "Everyone has their own problems." Terra interrupt. "You do too, don't you?" He asked Twilight as he pulled out the Storm Eagle book and hold it out to Flash. "Keep this safe for me." He asked Flash. "You better promise me that!" He said after Flash took the book and he walked away with a laugh. "Wait, what about this?" Flash called out as he pulled out the Needle Hedgehog book. Terra walked back to see what Flash was talking about. "That's Arabia's. Give it back to her for me. See ya!" Terra said before he left. Just then, Arabia walked around the corner and saw both Flash and Twilight. Nether her or Twilight didn't know what to say to each other and Flash had just came along for support. They soon returned to the book shop and the two didn't know what to say to each other. "This is ocwerd." Spike whispered to Sprit who nodded in agreement. Flash walked up to Arabia and hold out the Needle Hedgehog book. "Here." He said as he hold it out to her. "Thanks..." She said as she took back the book. "Hey Twilight, I have something for you." She said as she took out a book. She opened it up and showed that it's a pop-up-book. "Thank you." Twilight said as she took the book. When she looked at the pop-up, she it was of Wonder World. "It's funny, I saw this same book in my dream every time it was my birthday." She said. "Now that I'm looking at it right now..." She looked at the book. "I just feel like I've lost something important." She said with a sad look on her face. Small flashbacks of her dream of her loseing her grip and the little girl got sucked into a vortex. Arabia, Flash, Spike, and Sprit saw the sad look on Twilight's face. "It's almost as if time stopped for me 12 years ago." Twilight said before she looked at Arabia. "I want to find the reason why." Arabia felt like she really had to tell her and everything, but a small part of her couldn't. "A reason..." She said to herself. She then remember what happened 12 years ago. (Arabia's Flashback) "TWILIGHT!" Star called out as was sucked into the vortex. "STAR!" A young Twilight called as she cried her eyes out. Hiding from not too far, a young Arabia saw her Uncle Sombra as Calibur sucked away one of her friends and hurt her other friend. Calibur turned and saw young Arabia. In young Arabia's mind, she saw her Uncle Sombra looking at her with a dark look even with the armor on him. It was like he wasn't the same man she once knew. Calibur then just walked away. And then a giant burst of flames went off. When Arabia stopped remembering, it felt even harder to tell her oldest friend the truth. "Isn't there something you want to ask me?" She asked Twilight who nodded yes. Twilight, Flash, Spike, and Sprit can see she is having it hard to say what she wanted to say. Flash looked at the Storm Eagle book Terra gave him and Twilight felt sorry for her friend. "Not in particular." She said to Arabia with a smile. Arabia looked to Twilight and wonder why she's not asking her what she wanted to ask. There was a bit of silence before Flash spoke up. "When Twilight gave me this, I swore an oath and made her a promise." He said as he hold the Brave Dragon book. "That I would save anyone in need. So if you ever need a hand, make sure you tell me." He told Arabia. Arabia looked at him and felt relieve. "Okay." She said as she stood up and smile. "We promise." Twilight said with smile on her face. "Hey..." Both Arabia and Twilight said at the same time. "That Megid from earlier called us prey, didn't he?" Arabia asked. "That's right, take a look!" Twilight said as she grabbed the same book that find out what the salamander Megid was. She turned the page to show where a piranha. "Based on its behavior, it's definitely a piranha." She explained. "And I don't think he's alone." With Surge, Pinkie, and Rainbow. They were taking a small break. "This "Inster" of yours sure is helpful." Surge to the girls. Pinkie nodded while Rainbow looked through her iPhone, looking up rainbow bubbles. "If we find something though this, me and Pinkie can join you guys. Along with our friends, right?" Rainbow asked. "I suppose I can consider it." A voice behind them answered her. "For real?! Heck yeah!" Pinkie shouted with joy. But when they looked to see who is behind them, they saw Desast and they were shocked to see him here. They ran away from him before Desast could do anything. In Wounder World. A book opened up and both Flash and Arabia arrived through it. "Looks like Twilight was right." Flash said as he and Arabia saw a swarm of piranhas up head. "We'll save them in no time!" He took out his Diago Speedy and send it out for it to transformed it to a motorcycle. Rev Up and Roar! ~Diago Speedy! "That's right." Arabia agreed. "Without hesitation!" She shouted as she pulled out her Gatrike Phone and pushed the button on it. "Gatrike Phone." The phone transformed into the Ride Gatriker. Ride Gatriker! Both of them got on their rides and rave up and drove to the piranhas. As they ride, they took out their Wounder Ride Books and open the covers. Lamp do Alangina Brave Dragon They then place their books in their drivers and pulled out their swords. Another Piranha Megid saw them coming. "Feast all you like!" He shouted as he commanded the swarm of piranhas to go after the two riders. Unsheathe the Lightning! Unsheathe the Flame! "Henshin!" Both Flash and Arabia shouted as they ride and transformed into Kamen Rider Saber and Espada. ~Lamp do Alangina! ~Brave Dragon! As the Djinn and Dragon protect the two riders from the piranhas when they transformed and continue on. Ikazuchi: Volume One. When the djinn from the lamp and Ikazuchi, the Sword of Lightning unite, the amber blade shall shine with splendor! As Espada ride the Ride Gatriker, she fire the guns at some of the piranhas as she drove. Rekka: Volume One. When the dragon of courage and Rekka, the Sword of Flames unite, the crimson blade shall vanquish all that is evil! As Saber ride the Diago Speedy, he slash a few of the piranhas as he drove by some. As did Espada, the two was able to destroy the piranhas around them. "I'm taking revenge for my big bro!" The Piranha Megid declared. Then more piranhas flew towards the two riders and exploded, but the two were able to get through unharmed and stopped. "There's way too many of them." Espada said after she stopped her Ride Gatriker. "Leave it to me!" Saber said as he got off his Diago Speedy and took out the Storm Eagle book. He then open up the book to reveal the story within. Storm Eagle. This Steller's sea eagle has been said to manifest ferocious tornadoes upon its arrival. Saber put his sword back in the driver and closed the Brave Dragon book. He then closed the Storm Eagle book and place it in the center slot on his driver before he yanked out the sword, opening up the two books and he transformed into his new form, Dragon Eagle. Unsheathe the Flame! ~It's the tempestuous Dragon Eagle! Rekka: Volume Two. On savage wings in the sky, the dragon clad in hellfire will burn everything to ashes! "I determine how this story ends!" Saber said as he placed his sword back in the driver and press the button on the handle for the finisher before he yanked it out. Final Page! "Flaming Tempest Slash!" Saber called out his new attack before he spun around and send a tornado right at the swarm of piranhas coming at them. He then leep into the tornado and it turned into a fire tornado. Dragon. Eagle. Two Volume Strike! F-F-Fire! The fire tornado took out all of the piranhas as it moved around. Saber fly out of the top of the tornado and fell to the ground out of being dizzy. "So dizzy..." Saber said as he was on the ground. "Amazing..." Espada said in amazement after watching Saber take out all those piranhas. "I'll feast on everything! And I'll take all the Wonder Ride Books!" The Piranha Megid shouted with anger. "I will stick with my convictions!" Espada said as she looked at the Piranha Megid. The Megid charged at them and Espada put her sword in her driver and press the button on the handle of the sword for a finisher. Final Page! Alangina. One Volume Slash! Thunder! "Trueno Destroda." Espada said her final attack after she yanked out her sword, then took a step back before she moved so fast she could give Rainbow Dash a run for her money and struck the Piranha Megid and it fell to the ground. "We've reached the end of your story." She said as electricity showed what she did in a flash. She struck the Piranha Megid not just once but two times. A thunder bolt shot down and destroy the Megid. Saber got up from the ground and the boats that got eaten by the piranhas returned to normal and back to the real world. Both riders detranformed back to Flash and Arabia. "Flash." Arabia said as Flash walked up to her. "Twilight lost her memories a long time ago, but they're coming back bit by bit. Once she gets back her memories, there's something we should talk about." She told him. Flash understand why she wanted to wait for Twilight to get her memories back, so he smiled and nodded. With Surge, Pinkie, and Rainbow. They watch Desast just standing in an ally, not bothering to get them. But Rainbow was using her phone to record and film him, just in case. "I'll tell you something good." Desast said. "We will devour and dominate the Wonder World." He told them as he looked at them. "Desast!" Zooous shouted at him. "You talk too much." He said as he slammed his right side chest and transformed into his Megid from. Surge and the two girls were shocked to see Zooous true form. "Well, well, well..." Desast said as he looked at Zooous. "If it isn't the ruler of living creatures, Zooous." He laughed as Zooous shot a blast at him. Desast dodged the blast and Surge pushed Pinkie and Rainbow out of the way when the blast came at them. "Aw man! The recording stopped!" Rainbow complained as she checked her phone. "Zooous..." Surge said with a angry look on his face. The story continue > Volume 1, chapter 6: Like the winds, they meet. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to Tassel sitting in his house with an umbrella in his hand. He looks to you with a smile, for he is happy to see you back. "Bonne lecture! For those of you who don't know me, my name is Tassel." He introduced himself. "I'm currently very interested in how Flash Sentry is getting stronger." Tassel said with joy in his voice. He got up and went over to a bookshelf and pulled out a new book. "We all know what happened in the last chapter, so why bother with me telling you?" He asked. "Besides, there's a new comer in this new chapter and I'm so excited! So lets get started!" He said as he opened the book and we go into the chapter of this story. "So Arabia wants to wait for the right moment to talk?" Twilight asked Flash in the book shop. The other girls joined the others to talk. Pinkie and Rainbow were still out with Surge looking for some Rainbow Bubbles. "The Sword of Logos, Calibur's group..." Sunset started as she thought about all that has happened. "It's all so much to take in. Everyone's fighting for this power of books. Plus there's this "Wounder World" that none of us have even heard of before." Sunset sat down on a table. "What's so special about this books? And I'm mostly worried about Equestria. What if things that dissaperd to that other world here also happens the same way in Equestria?" She asked in a worried tone. "I'm going to check on princess Twilight to see if everything is okay over there." Flash was wondering the same thing about the Wonder Ride Books. Why are they so special and where did they come from? Flash looked at his Brave Dragon book and kept on wondering. "I wonder what kind of book are you?" Flash thought before he got up and went over to the Book Gate. "Hay Flash, where are you going?" Spike asked. "I need to ask Arabia something important." Flash said as he was about to enter the Book Gate. "Wait! I'll come with!" Twilight said as she picked up Spike and place him in her backpack and they both enter the Book Gate and went to the Northern Base. At the Northern Base, Arabia was reading a book while she walked down the stairs just when Flash and Twilight came in. "Arabia, could you tell me more about the Wonder Ride Books?" Flash asked. Before Arabia could say anything, the back doors opened up and someone walked out with a smile on her face. It was a teenager girls, about the main 7's age. She had light green skin and dark green hair with a few yellow strkes and it was tied in pony tail. She had yellowish green eyes. Her clothes looked simular to a ninja outfit, the left side of the outfit is yellow while the right side is green. And on the back has a ninja star with a tornado under it. She even carried what looks to be two swords on her belt, one was light green while the other was dark green. "It's finally over!" This girl shouted, getting the attention of Flash, Twilight, and Arabia. "Oh, Flash! Twilight!" She already knew who they are, somehow. "Wind? Were you in the Libération?" Arabia asked when she saw her come from the back. "Training in there really takes a toll on you." Wind said as she walked over to the two. Flash cleared his throat and Arabia noticed he wants to know who this is. "I should introduce you to Flash Sentry. He's the new Saber. And my old friend, Twilight." Arabia told Wind. "Nice to meet you. Hope we can work well together. An aspirant of the sword!" Flash said to Wind as he hold out his hand to shake. "No way, dude! You're just a scrub!" She shouted making Flash confused by her comment. Arabia facepam herself when Wind called Flash a scrub. Flash was looking at Wind, wondering why she called him a scrub while Beat was checking his sword. Just then Sophia walked out to the balcony on top of the staircase. "Oh, it's Sophie! It's been awhile!" Wind shouted when she saw her. How's it going?" Wind waved to her. ""Sophie"...?" Flash question why she called Sophia that. "Zooous, the Megid ruler of living creatures has appeared." Sophia told the group in the room. "Zooous?" Wind asked with a excited look on her face. "He's dangerous..." Beat said. When Flash and Wind looked at her, she quickly put her hand infront of her face. "They aim to invade and dominated the Wonder World, the source of power for all the Wonder Ride Books. Blades is currently after them. Please assist him, Arabia." Sophia asked Arabia. Arabia nodded and headed to go help Surge. "I'll go too!" Wind shouted. She then saw Beat looking over her sword. "Hey, what are you doing to my sword?!" Wind shouted when she tried to get it back, but Beat wouldn't let go. "Give it back!" She shouted as she struggled to get back her sword. "No!" Beat shouted. "It calls for rest." Beat said as she ran off with Wind's sword. "But I can't fight without it! Please give it back!" Wind shouted when she chased after Beat, leaving Flash, Twilight, and Sophia alone in the room. "Um, is it okay if I read the books here?" Twilight asked Sophia. "Of course." Sophia answered with a big smile on her face. "Books answer equally to any who seeks the knowledge and inspiration they hold. You are welcome to ask Slash any questions you might have." Sophia told Flash and Twilight. "Uh, who's Slash?" Flash asked. But Sophia left the room and didn't answer Flash. Twilight keeled down and let Spike out of her backpack. "Whoa, you weren't kidding when you said there are alot of books here." Spike said as he looked around the place. "I know. Okay, lets look around and see what we can find. Flash, can you help out?" Twilight asked. Flash nodded and the three looked through each book they can find. Spike found one book in pedicure caught his eye. The cover said "From creaters to Man" which made him wonder what it meant. When he opened it up, it glowed and sucked him in. When Twilight and Flash heard the noise, they went to see what it was and found the book. Before they could pick it up, the book opened on its own and a boy flew out of it and crash into Flash. The boy had bright green hair and purple skin. He had a bright green shirt with a dark purple jacket and jeans with green shoes. Twilight knew exactly who this boy is. "Oh man. That hurt." The boy spoke in a voice that both Twilight and Flash recognizes. "Spike?" They both asked. Spike wonder why they were looking at him like that, till he saw he had clothes on and he had arms and legs. This was going to be complicated when they return home. At the Megid lar "Zooous is calling the swordsmen to him." Storious spoke. In the room with him was Legeiel, Desast, and Calibur. "Why not help him out, Desast?" "Fascinating." Desast said as he stand up. "He seemed on edge as of late." He told them as he walked out. "I'd love to see that." Legeiel said with a smile on his face. He then left the room too. Leaving Storiousand Calibur alone in the room. "Now then, you wished to know how to reach Avalon, yes?" Storious asked Calibur. Back at the book shop. While Spike getting used to his new look and the girls was checking him out, Twilight was reading a book from the Northern Base out loud. "When the world begins to melt, a bright light and two dragons will come together, revealing the path to a chasm in the world's midst." "What does that all mean?" Flash asked. While they all thought about it, Wind walked by them and picked up one of the books. "Wow, your dog found the book that turns animals into humans! Didn't it, Twi?!" Wind ask. Everyone saw her and wonder how she got in. They didn't even hear her come through the Book Gate. Flash thought since she is apart of the Sword of Logos, he could ask her. "So Wind, are you pretty familiar with the Wonder Ride Books?" Flash asked Wind as she looked through a book. "I just know that I'm super strong!" Wind shouted. "Do you really have to shout darling?" Rarity asked Wind. Beat walked out from the Book Gate with Flash's sword. "Wounder Ride Books contain great power as they originate from the Book of World Creation." Beat told the group. When Flash walked up to her, she try and shield her face with his sword. "Great power?" He asked her. "Oh my, you need more stylish clothes, darling." Rarity told Beat when she saw her clothes. "They can save the world, but are dangerous when misused." Beat explained to them, but she quickly put the sword infront of her face again. "Hey, it's okay to be shy. I should know." Fluttershy comfernt her. "Okay, okay! Can I have my Sword of Zephyrs back now?" Wind asked Beat. "And Calibur and his gang?" Flash asked Beat. "Hey, is this permanent?" Spike asked her about his new form. "They create Alter Books, which make new and dangerous worlds. They aren't made in the correct way. And probably." Beat answered both Flash and Spike. She set Flash's sword on a table. "But they're powerful, no doubt about it!" She shouted with determination in her voice, and spooked the group. "Yeah, yeah, but more importantly, how is Flash so freaking strong?" Wind asked. "Listen Wind, you gotta chill out about strength." Sunset told Wind. "Sunset's right. Doing research with books is just as important." Twilight said as she pointed out some books near her. "No way, dudests!" Wind disagreed. "Justice is all about strength! Nothing else matters in battle!" She told them. "But trust an't about strength but the heart!" Applejack argued. "Both...are important." Beat said. when they looked at her, she looked away. "I don't get any of you." Wind told the group and Twilight was getting anoid by her that she was getting a twitch in her eye. "Well, why don't you fight me with this on the line? First one to get hit wins" Wind said while she hold up a yellowish green Wonder Ride Book with three little pigs on the cover. "I'll listen to you if I lose." Wind said. "Don't take it up with him." Beat told them as she was about to leave. "Beat! Please be the judge!" Both Wind and Twilight shouted. "Uh Twilight, what are you--" Flash was about to ask her before she interrupted him. "Take her on and show her that research with books is just as important!" She shouted to Flash. Flash didn't want to argue, so he took a battle stands with a rolled up magazine. As did Wind like a ninja. Wind was about to charge at him before Twilight's phone went off. "It Arabia." Twilight said when she checked her phone. "Arabia?!" Wind asked when she went over to see. Flash took this opening and hit her head. "Ow!" She said when he hit her. "You really like Arabia, don't you?" He asked her. "Heck no! And that hit doesn't count! I won't have it!" Wind shouted with a blush on her face. "Nah, Flash definitely won." Sunset said and the others agree with her. "So..." Twilight started, then she snatched the book from Wind. "Hope you don't mind him taking this." She said as she tossed it to Flash then answered her phone. "What's up, Arabia?" Whatever Arabia was telling Twilight, made her worry. In Wounder World. Espada was fighting another Piranha Megid and some of the piranhas was already eating apart of the city that appeared there. Flash and the others made to where the fight was happening. "Another Piranha?" Flash asked when he saw it. "This is kinda getting ridicules." Spike complained. "I can smell the nice scent of that Swordsman of Fire." Desast said as he appeared in Wounder World. "How tempting." "Desast..." Flash said when he saw him. "I think I liked him better when I saw him in black and white." Spike said, sounding a bit nervous when he saw Desast. "Be careful!" Espada warned Flash before the Piranha Megid try to hit her. "We don't know how strong he is!" She said as she counter attack the Megido. "Don't worry, I'm going all out!" Flash said as he puts on his driver. Then took out both the Brave Dragon book and Storm Eagle book and place them in his driver. Then he took out the book he got from Wind, the Kobuta 3Kyoudai book. Then he opened the book and revealed the story within. Kobuta 3Kyoudai. A story of three brothers who went through enormous peril to protect their homes. He then close the book and place it in the third slot on his driver. Desast send a slash right at him as Flash quickly pulled out the sword. "Henshin" He shouted as he slashed the sword and transformed into Kamen Rider Saber with an extra look to him. Unsheathe the Flames! ~It's the Tempestuous Dragon Eagle! Extra Volume, The Three Little Pigs. Espada jumped and came down with sword in hand at Desast. Desast blocked her attack with his sword. Espada then try to strike him, but he dodged her. Then he try to strike her but Espada blocked his sword with her's. "I'll make do with you!" The Piranha Megid said as she attack Saber. Saber rolled out of the way to dodged her attack. "What the heck?!" He asked when he heard the Piranha Megid's voice. "This one's a girl this time?!" Sunset asked in supperis when she heard its voice too. "Oh, I got an idea!" Saber said as he placed his sword back in the driver and press the button on the handle. Final Page! He then pulled out his sword and three little pigs appeared infront of him. Unsheathe the Flame! "Flaming Dance Slash!" Saber called out his attack as he commanded the three little pigs. The three little pigs then ran way and the Piranha Megid went after them. "Little pigs!" She shouted as she went after them. Twilight knew what Saber had planned. "The three piglet brothers made a house of straw and invited the Piranha in." Saber told a small story as the three little pigs did what Saber just said. "Then, with the Piranha, the house of straw was blown away!" He then slashed his sword and a big gust of wind started blow and form a tornado and lift up the Piranha Megid, then exploded. Dragon, Eagle, The Three Little Pigs! F-F-F-Fire! "Wasn't it a wolf?" Espada asked when she saw what happened while she fought Desast. "There's someone here?" Spike asked when he pointed out someone walking to them. "A-Are you all right?" Saber asked when he ran to the man Spike pointed out. But when Saber got close, the man fell in Saber's arms. "You shouldn't bite at everything you see..." The man said as he rose his head to face Saber. "There could be poison on the hook." Then a dark energy emerge from this man and transformed into a Megid. The man was really Storious and now he's in his true form. Saber detranformed back to Flash all of the sudden because Storious asorbed his power into a book he was holding. Storious then knocked Flash to the away and Flash dropped the Storm Eagle book. Twilight and Sunset help Flash up and he placed his sword back in the driver but he couldn't pulled it out this time. "Wait, why isn't it--? I can't draw my sword!" Flash said as he try to draw his sword out. Desast noticed the Storm Eagle book on the ground and quickly picked it up. "You may need the power of a lost place in order to draw your sword again." Storious said as Espada stood infront of her friends. He then vanished away. "He's plotting something then, huh?" Desast asked himself as he got up. "Whatever. Zooous is preparing the final hunting ground. Go there." He told the two riders, the girls, and Spike as he walked away. As he left, the others and Flash wondered why he can't draw out his sword as the part of the city returned back to the real world. They group returned back to the book shop and while the two riders went to the Northern Base and told Sophia what happened. Beat was looking over Flash's sword and driver to see what's wrong and she found it. "This isn't good, there's a seal in place." She said as she checked the computer. On the computer, the left side screen had black chains all over it. "That must be why he couldn't unsheath his sword." Arabia said. "They took the Wonder Ride Books Mr. Quake entrusted you with, didn't they?" Wind asked Flash from the staircase. "Weak." "Not like I wanted it to be taken--" Flash argued before he got interrupted by Wind. "You mad?" She tesde. Flash was really not liking Wind at the moment. "You're really..." Flash said in a annoyed tone. "A journey to Avalon might be the only way to break the seal." Beat told Flash. "Avalon? What's that?" Arabia asked. "A lost place. If you harness the power that lays dormant there, then perhaps..." Beat answered. "Where is it?" Flash asked as he walked up to Beat. She quickly put her arm infront of her face when he got close to her. "No one knows." She said. "No swordsmen or wemen can ever venture there." Flash was disappointed to hear that. "Wind, you said that you'd listen to me and the girls if I win, right?" Flash asked Wind whe he looked at her. "You want me to go after the book?" Wind asked as she jumped over the staircase railing. "I want you to save everyone with Arabia." Flash said as he gave back the Kobuta 3Kyoudai book to her. She looked at him and saw that he is sireus about it. She hummed as she took back her book. "Oh, I gotcha! We'll have Another match! Let's see if I can defeat the Megid before you find Avalon." She challenged Flash. It's not what Flash meant when he asked her to save people with Arabia. But he went with what she thinks. "All right." Flash said. "Come on, Wind." Arabia said as walked to the Book Gate and Wind ran after her, just when Twilight and Spike came through. "Did they find out what's wrong?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, and it the only way to fix it, is to go to a place called Avalon." Flash told her and Spike. When Twilight heard the word Avalon, she felt like she heard it somewhere before. "Uh where's that?" Spike asked. "Don't know." Flash said. "Wait." Beat told them. Someplace else. Zooous was making another part of the city disappear to Wonder World. "There he is!" Rainbow shouted as she, Pinkie, and Surge arrived. Surge had this rage look on his face when he saw Zooous standing there. "I won't let you get away this time!" He declared. "I'm in an absolutely terrible mood right now!" Zooous said with rage in his voice. "Prepare yourself!" He shouted as he transformed into his Megid form by clawing himself across his chest. "In the name of Nagare, the Sword of Currents..." Surge started as he puts on his driver. "I will keep this world free from harm's reach!" He then took out his Lion Senki book and open the cover. He then transformed into Kamen Rider Blades. ~Lion Senki Blades the ready his sword and charged at Zooous. As his blade clashed agents Zooous's arm, a splash of water appeared between them. Pinkie had her phone out and recorded what was happening. "The Swordswoman of Water, huh?" Zooous asked. "I remember fighting one long ago. He was an upstanding guy with a backbone." Blades knew who he was talking about. "It's a shame I shredded him to pieces 12 years ago!" Zooous said as he remember killing another Blades 12 years ago. He struck down the Blades with his claw. Zooous then try to strike this Blades, but he dodged and rolled out of the way. "It was you..." Blades said as he knew who Zooous killed 12 years ago. "You dared to kill my master..." He said as he was getting up from the ground. You can hear Blades cry a bit over the lost of his master. With Arabia and Wind. Another Piranha Megid took more boats, yet again. Wind tossed up a green Wonder Ride Book in the air and caught when it came down with a smile on her face. "My strength and justice will win for sure! You'll see Flash!" She shouted. "There's no reason to compete against Flash, Wind." Arabia told her. Wind didn't listen as she hold up her book that's titled Sarutobi Ninjaden and opened it up to reveal the story within. "Will this girl ever listen..." Arabia said to herself. Sarutobi Ninjaden. A gale of clandestinity lurks in the shadows! Proficient in the arts, it advances... Wind closed the book and took out her sword. She then placed the book in the sword and pulled the sword apart, causing the one sword into two and opened the book to show a rider within it. Split the Twin Blades! "Henshin!" She shouted as she slashed the two swords like a ninja two times and transformed into Kamen Rider Kenzan. First Tactic! ~Shuriken! Second Tactic! ~Two-bladed Way! ~Hayate, the Sword of Zephyrs! Scroll of hayate: The twin blade of the Koka winds strike their foes with techniques of divine speed! Kenzan then ran right at the Piranha Megid. She spin-jump and slashed the Megid with her two swords. She then charged and jumped over the Megid to strike it from behind. Kenzan was laughing because she was having fun. While Kenzan fight the Megid, Arabia put on her driver and place not only her Lamp do Alangina book, but the Needle Hedgehog book in her driver. She then pulled out her sword and the two books open up and a djinn and needles emerged from the two giant books behind her. Unsheathe the Lightning! "Henshin." She said as she slashed her sword and transformed into Kamen Rider Espada, Lamp do Hedgehog form. ~Spikes on spikes, Lamp do hedgehog! Ikazuchi: Volume Two. Meanwhile, back at the Northern Base. Beat pushed a book on the shelf and it glowed. Two bookshelves floated down infront of Flash, Twilight, and Spike. "The answer is buried in history." Beat said as she walked down the stairs. "We must ask the books themselves about books." Twilight's jaw dropped when she saw the bookshelves came down and Spike pushed her jaw back up. "What kind of place is Avalon?" Flash asked Beat. "There once was a power so great that no one could control it." Beat told the three. "Avalon is where that power is said to be sealed." "Well it must be that powerful if no one knows where it is." Spike said. "That's one way to look at it." Sprit said when she flew out from Twilight's pocket. At the Megid lar. "The bait has been set." Storious told Calibur. "The first door is--" "A rift in time, right?" Storious finished Calibur's question. "I already have a clue in mind." He told Calibur before he got up and walked out. Back at the Northern Base. Twilight, Flash, Spike, and Sprit was reading some of the books to find out how to get to Avalon. "Nothing!" Flash shouted with frustration when he slammed the book he holds closed. They practically had books around them while they search. "We can't even find the "A" in Avalon!" "We've been looking for hours!" Spike shouted as he fell to his back. Flash then remember what Beat said about Avalon. How no swordsmen or wemen can ever venture there. "Maybe there's..." Flash thought. "Hey Beat, are there any forbidden books around here?" Flash asked as he thinks there is a way. "No, not at all." Beat answered. She then looked up to the top of the stairs at the bookshelves. "Yeah, you're probably right!" Flash said sarcastically. "There shouldn't be a book like that here." Twilight, Spike, and Sprit were confused by what Flash was getting at. "Oh, of course." Beat said as she looked again to the bookshelves on top of the stairs. There was a bit of silence before Beat ran up the stairs and Flash ran up the other. "It's this, this and this!" He pointed to three books on the bottom shelves. "What are you getting at, Flash?" Twilight asked when she went up the stairs. "No, it's this, this and this!" Beat shouted when she pointed to three books on the top, middle, and bottom shelf. Flash pressed the three books she pointed to and each book glowed. Then from the top of the place, a big black book floated down. The group ran down the stairs and to the black book. "Don't! That's a forbidden book! You can't read it!" Beat warned them as she went down the stairs. Flash made it to the black book and picked it up. "This could give us the clue we need!" Flash told Beat. Beat try to get the book away from Flash. "If Rekka, the Sword of Flames is sealed, then I can't protect anything!" Flash told Beat. "I can't save anything." Twilight felt the same for some resone and she didn't know why. Flash then read the book with strange images in it. "When the 13 stories are connected by sword..." He read it out loud. Then Twilight saw something in her mind. It looked like a book with sword stands inside it. "This must be..." She wondered. She then took the book and grabbed Flash's arm and ran out. Back with the fight between Blades and Zooous. Blades was not doing so well agenst Zooous. He was kicked back, but then he charged at Zooous and to strike him. But Zooous blocked his attack and knocked him to the ground. "You can do it, Surge!" Pinkie cheered. "That's it! I'm calling for back up! Then we are going in to help!" Rainbow shouted as she pulled out her phone. "Do not!" Blades shouted at the two as he struggled to get up. "I must be the one to strike him down!" Storious walked down their lar to get something for Calibur. Twilight and Flash ran out the Book Gate with Spike, Sprit, and Beat. She dragged him over to some books and she looked for the book she thought of. Kenzan ran on across the stone raling to the Piranha Megid. She then flipped and strike it to the ground. "Let's do this!" Kenzan shouted. "I'll be taking your Sacred Swords and Wonder Ride Books." Desast said behind Kenzan. He then jumped at her, but she rolled under his kick. "Hey, you strong?" She asked him. "Why don't you see for yourself?" Desast asked as he opened a book up and charged at her. As they fought, the two were taken to a different part of Wonder World. Kenzan back flipped back, then clashed blades with Desast. Kenzan then try to kick his head, but Desast ducked her kick and punched her. He then slashed his sword at her, but she used her two swords to catch the strike. "That was close!" She said in relieved to block his sword. She then pushed back on him and try to hit him. But Desast archered back to dodged her strike and come up to counter strike her. When he try to sweep her feet, she back flipped away from the sweep. Desast used his scarf to grab Kenzan mid flip and pull her towards him. Desast then spun around and slashed her with his sword. "C'mon!" He shouted when he slashed her. Kenzan was sent flying to the ground a few feet away. "Ow, you are strong!" She said while she was on the ground. "You're the real deal, huh?" She asked when she looked at him. She then jumped up back to her feet. "But I can't lose my match against him!" She shouted. Meanwhile back at the book shop. Twilight was still looking for something till she found it. "Found it!" She shouted as she found the book she was looking for. Back with Kenzan. She put her Kobuta 3Kyoudai book in a slot in the side of her sword. Kobuta 3Kyoudai Then the three little pigs appeared infront of her. "Nin nin ni-nin!" Kenzan said as she took a battle stands. Desast got ready to attack her. Nin nin! Back at the book shop. Twilight got a piece of paper and put it on the page Flash read and started to trace lines on the paper where the strange images are. Back with the fight with Kenzan and Desast. The three little pigs started to build three brick walls around Desast when he charged at her with a space between each wall. Hayate: Skimming Strike! Nin nin! Kenzan moved so fast like a ninja to hide behind one of the walls. "Shh..." She shush behind one of the walls. "Hey, where'd you--" Desast asked before Kenzan quickly strike him from the back. "Now it's my turn!" Kenzan declared as she jumped high in the air. Desast send multiple of his scarf at her while she's in the air. But Kenzan throw her swords at the scarfes and ran along one of them. When she got close, she grabbed her swords and spun around as she srtike him. The two were not holding up as they fought. Kenzan then kicked him as she jumped and landed on the ground. She then continue to back flipped and kicked him. "One! Two! Three!" She counted each time she kicked him. Desast grabbed her in a leg lock and spun her around. When he try to strike her, he knock her back as he let her go. Both of them were laughed as they were having fun. "This is actually getting pretty fun!" Kenzan said as she spun one of her swords around. She then combined the two swords back to one. She then made it look lika a big ninja star One-bladed Way Back at the book shop. Twilight finish connecting and it looks like a hexagon with a six point star inside with another small six point star inside the bigger one. She then remember a book with different sword swipes inside it. With Espada. She place her sword in her driver and press the button on the handle for the finisher before she yanked it out. Final Page! Unsheathe the Lightning! "Trueno Mil Lanza." She called out her final attack. "More!" The Piranha Megid shouted before he charged at her. Espada brought her sword up just when the Megid jumped at her, and a Djinn appeared on the sword with spikes all over it. Hedgehog! Alangina! Two Volume Slash! T-T-Thunder! Then as fast as lightning, Espada jumped at the Piranha Megid and probably strike it multiple times before she faced the Megid in the air and slash down her sword with a big bolt of lightning to destroy it. In the Megid lar. Storious reached a bookshelf with only one book rapped in chains. He brought his hand up and dark energy despell the chains. When the chains vanished, he took the book from the shelf and he smile when he had it in his hands. Back at the book shop. Twilight was trying to finish what she was doing. "Come on, just a bit more..." Twilight said as she trying to finish up. She was getting frustrated so she threw the black book down and it kicked up some dust when it hit the ground. The dust made Beat sneeze and that made a piece of paper flipped up from the book Arabia gave Twilight and reveal something under it. Twilight and Flash saw this and the pop-up page had a shadowy head of demon made of a midst. When Twilight looked at it, she thought back to when Calibur attack Flash as Saber and their books energy connect to each other when they were near each other. Then it hit her, she picked up the black book and read through it till she found something of interest. "Two dragons will come together, revealing the path to a chasm in the world's midst." She read out loud. She then turned the page and looked through the next page. "The king slumbers in the rift of time" Twilight read a sentence from the book. She thought about the Brave Dragon book and how it's connected to Avalon. Back with the fight between Kenzan and Desast. "You're a pretty interesting girl." Desast said to Kenzan. "So are you! For a guy!" She told him as she closed the book in her sword and pulled it. She put it in a slot on the side of her sword for a finisher before she put it back in the sword. Sarutobi Ninjaden She then spun around as a grenn tornado of energy formed around her. She then stop and press the button on one of the handles of her swords. "Wind Sword-dancing Revolution!" She declared her finisher as she threw her swords at him. Hayate: Skimming Strike! Nin nin! Multiple ninja stars were formed when the sword was thrown. Desast try to block them before a big one hit him when he blocked it. "I gotta thank ya! That was fun!" Kenzan shouted from a tall building wall. He saw her up there as she jumped from the building and spun around when she came down and strike his block. Desast try to hold his ground but eventually she broke through his defense and strike him multiple times and destroyed him. As she landed, a symbol flew away and she caught the Storm Eagle book that fly out to her. "I win!" She shouted as she stood up and hold up the book. The part of the world that dissaperd returned back to the real world. At the Megid lar. "The door to the rift of time will likely open with this." Storious told Calibur as he gave him the black book. "Though I must ask for one thing in return." He said as walked to him. "What will you do after you obtain its power?" Back with the fight between Blades and Zooous. Blades try to slash Zooous, but Zooous blocked his attack and punched him in the stomach and the clawed him down. Blades fell to his knees after he got damaged. "This is so boring." Zooous said. "You're not even worth killing." He walked over to Blades after he picked up Blades's sword and kneel down infront of him. "Here." He handed Blades his sword back. "Go home and cry to mommy, all right?" Zooous then got up and walked away. Blades was angry and try strike Zooous, but he was too hurt to even stand. He then fell to the ground as he detranformed back to Surge. "Surge!" Both Rainbow and Pinkie shouted as they ran to him. Surge yelled out in anger as he slammed his fist to the ground. Back at the book shop. Twilight was feeling proud for figuring out how to get to Avalon. "Seriously, you both are so reckless." Beat told both Flash and Twilight. "I think that's why they are perfect for each other." Spike said and Sprit nodded in agreement. "You have to make it to Avalon, okay?" Beat asked. "Thanks for the help, Beat." Flash said to her with a smile. Then Flash just realised something. "Wait, are you Slash?" He asked her. "Sophia's been the only one calling me that for a while now." Beat said with a small smile on her face. "Wait, you're a rider too?" Spike asked in surprise by this news. "Well you can tell us the story later. Right now, let's rest." Twilight said as she lay down. At Sunset's place. She got out the book that makes contact to her home, Equestria. When she opened it, she read some messages from Princess Twilight that made her eyes widen. At the Northern Base. After awhile, Surge returned with a sad look on his face. Wind gave Flash the Storm Eagle book she got back from Desast when Surge came back. The four riders saw how banged up Surge looks. "Surge? What happened?!" Flash asked with concern. Surge didn't say a word and just went a container with a Wonder Ride Book from a container. The book was dark blue with a Pegasus on the cover. The title was "Tenkuu no Pegasus." He hold it along with the Peter Fantasista book in his hands. "I refuse to give up on myself." Surge said to himself as he looked at the two books in his hands. He then walked to the doors in the back with the two books. The Story Continues > Volume 1, chapter 7: The king's blade, lies within Avalon and the rise of a Paladin Rider > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to Wonder World as we see Tassel flying in the air with his umbrella. He sees you and smiles. "Hello! My name is Tassel!" He shouted as he fly with his umbrella. "And my heart is currently pounding with both anxiety and anticipation! Why, you ask?" He then pulled out a book and open it to show us what happened in the last chapter. "Flash's sword has been sealed and he can't transform into Saber." Tassel explained as we see what happened. "However, he finally found a hint toward Avalon's location, thanks to Twilight's big brain. But if they manages to get to Avalon..." He sounded a little sacred. "Calibur will be there waiting for them!" He closed the book and looks to you all. "Lets all hope that Flash will get the power to unseal his sword before Calibur will get it first!" He puts away the book and pulled out a new book. He opens then new book up and we are pulled into the new chapter. We open to Surge hold the two Wonder Ride Books in his hands. "I refuse to give up on myself." He said to himself. He then walked to the back doors. "Surge!" Arabia called that stopped him. "What happened to you?" She asked him. Surge didn't answer her and went through the doors in the back. Flash wondered something about the back room. "The Libération is a training ground, right?" He asked. "Time passes differently while in the Libération, which places enormous strain on the body." Sophia answered Flash as she came down the stairs. Both Twilight and Spike came through the Book Gate when Sophia told Flash about the Libération. "So, this "Libération" is like a place to train both the mind and body?" Twilight asked. "Yes, but in worst-case scenario, one's life could even be put in danger." Beat said. "Sounds brutal." Spike said when he heard what Beat said. "But Surge went in there knowing that?" Flash asked as he looked at the doors to the Libération. "Can't blame him, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie told us what happened back in the book shop." Sprit said when she flew out from Twilight's pocket. "I suppose there must be something he strongly whishes to protect." Sophia said as she to look at the back doors. "I'll do whatever it takes to reach Avalon and unseal my sword. In order to protect what's dear to me" Flash said to Sophia before he looked towards Twilight who blushed. "You must have found a lead toward reaching Avalon." Sophia assumed as she looked at Flash. "Yes, with some help." Flash said as he looked at Twilight. "The answer was in the books all along." Twilight said with a smile. Twilight then lay out the forbidden book and a book with sword slash techniques in it. "When the world unravels, a bright light and two dragons will come together, revealing the path to a chasm in the world's midst. The king slumbers in the rift of time." Twilight quoted what she read in the books of legends. "These are both verses from the books of legends. And then there's... "When the 13 stories are connected by sword... The world's rift shall be reached." That verse was in the forbidden book." "The world's chasm, the rift of time and the world's rift." Flash said. "They're from different books, but they all point at the same place. Twilight deduced that it's a world location in an alternate dimension." "An alternate dimension..." Beat thought out loud. "And then these words..." Twilight started. "The king slumbers in the rift of time. There's this story of King Arthur. When King Arthur neared death, he was taken to an island named Avalon." "That would mean..." Sprit started to think what they were saying. "Avalon exists in an alternate dimension." Both Flash and Twilight said at the same time. "No one has managed to reach Avalon before." Sophia said. Everyone in the room knew this as well. "Still, I'm sure Calibur has realized this as well." Twilight theorize. "He's after the great power that's sealed within Avalon." "Calibur..." Arabia said to herself. Wind saw the gilt look on Arabia's face. Then Flash remembered something. "A while ago, both mine and his dragon books reacted to each other." Flash told them. "The two dragons..." He then thought about when the two books reacted to each other, he saw tow dragons. One he saw long before, the red one and a black dragon circling around each other. "And I think I know why he tried to take Brave Dragon from you, Flash." Twilight said before Arabia spoke up. "Then I'll go with you, Flash. You won't be able to stop him if you can't draw your sword." "Then I'll--" Wind was about to say she'll came with two before Arabia interrupt. "No. This is my duty." "Me, Spike, and Sprit will come with. Flash will need all the help he can get." Twilight said. Arabia was going to tell her off, but she knew she can't change Twilight's mind. "If you are going with Saber and Espada, you'll need to be prepared." Sophia told Twilight before she nodded to Beat. Beat then left the room and came back with a silver belt buckle that was square shaped, a slot that can hold a Wonder Ride Book and a black button on top. "Long ago, each Kamen Rider had followers that helped them protect the world order. These were the Paladin Riders who where entrusted by the wielders of the Sacred Swords." Sophia told Twilight as Beat put the buckle on her. Then the buckle formed a belt around Twilight's waist. Paladin Driver "Since Flash trusts you completely, Twilight. Once his sword is unsealed, he can tap your sholders with it and his power will be sheared with you." Sophia explained. Somewhere in the Megid lar. Calibur open up the black book Storious gave him. He then read the book and it sounded like he was reading backwards. As he read the book, 13 black Wonder Ride Books circled around him while he hold up his sword and the book he's holding glowed. "This is how we get to the alternate dimension." Twilight said as she showed Arabia how to do it. She pointed to some pictures in the forbidden book. "We'll need this too." She then pointed to an open book with different sword swipes in it. "A form of swordsmanship passed down from ancient times..." Arabia said when she saw the second book. "I see!" Arabia then transformed into Kamen Rider Espada and the room went dark. Unsheathe the Lightning! ~Lamp do Alangina! Espada then hold her sword before she slashed it down. As she did the blade glowed. She then slashed the sword to the right, then to the center. As she slashed her sword, 13 Wonder Ride Books started to fly around her and started to formed a circle in front of Espada. "The diagram is composed of 13 stories." Flash said as the books formed. "Upon connecting them with the path of a blade..." Twilight said as Espada slashed her sword and three flew. Espada continue to slash her sword the way she saw in the book and all 13 books flew out. "When the 13 stories are connected by sword, the world's rift shall be reached." Twilight said as the 13 books formed the diagram she drew when they were looking for a way to Avalon. Espada then thrust her sword forward and circles formed around each book and connected. The lines connected to form a hexagon with two six-point stars in it. The shape then disappeared and the Book Gate open up on its own with a bright light shining through. Calibur continue to read the black book and the 13 black Wonder Ride Books took the same formation. Then the gateway to Avalon open up to him just as it did for the riders. He then walked through it. "Let's head to Avalon, Arabia." Twilight said as she, Flash, and Spike walked up next to Espada. "Right." Espada said as the four of them ran into the gateway. From within the rift. Arabia was detranformed from her rider form and everything was all tippy. The four of them can barely keep their balance. "I'm going to be sick!" Sprit shouted cause she was feeling dizzy while in the rift. "Hey, look!" Spike shouted. The others saw what he was pointing at. A light shining and Twilight knew what that was. "The bright light will reveal a path to a chasm in the world's midst!" Twilight shouted. "I'm sure that's where it is." "Then lets go!" Flash shouted as the group walked towards the light. Little did they know that Calibur was not too far behind them. At the Megid lar "Calibur headed off to the world's chasm." Storious told Legeiel and Zooous. "Don't you think we should take this time to accelerate our invasion?" He asked them. "Then allow me!" Zooous, who is still in his Megid form shouted after he slammed his hand on the table. "No, I would love to give the honors..." Storious thought of you it will it be. "To Legeiel. It's about time we see your true conviction." He said to Legeiel. Legeiel scoffed before he smiled. "If that's what you want..." He said to Storious before he took the Altar Ride Book and opened it up to release the Megid with in. The Medusa Megid. Medusa Jaden Medusa laughed as she was happy to be free. "How's this?" Legeiel asked. At the book shop. Sunset burst through the door with a worried look on her face. "Girls! I need to tell you all something!" She shouted. But when she looked around the room, it was only Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash there. "Where is everyone?!" She asked the two. "Applejack is at the farm helping Big Mac and Apple Bloom with the harvest and Rarity was asked to take Sweetie Bell to the theme park. And Twilight, Sprit, and Spike went to the Northern Base for something about Flash's sword. And Fluttershy is busy at the animal shelter." Pinkie answered. "What's got you all jumpy?" Rainbow asked. "It's Equestria! Looks like when ever something from this world disappears in this world by the Megid, something from Equestria disappears too!" Sunset told her two friends. They were shocked to hear that Equestria is also being effected by the Megid. "Princess Twilight send me messages about all of it. I told her all about all the things that we now, but I asked her why it was happening there too." "Well, what did she say back?" Rainbow asked. "She said that she's already trying to figure out why." Sunset answered. "I hope she can figure it out soon. I may not live there anymore, but Equestria is still my home." Both Pinkie and Rainbow hope that everything will be okay too. But Rainbow was thinking back about how Surge was upset when he was fighting Zooous. He was super upset when Zooous beat him and walked away. "Do you think Surge will be all right?" She asked Pinkie. Pinkie shrugged with sad looking on her face, hoping the same thing. "What do you mean? What happened to Surge?" Sunset asked. The two had a lot of to tell Sunset about what happened. Within the Libération. Surge was kneeling as his mind and body was putting through a lot, like Sophia said. On his driver, he had three Wounder Ride Books. Tenkuu no Pegasus, Lion Senki, and Peter Fantasista books are in all three slots. Surge had his eyes closed as he heard his younger self spoke. "Do you think I could become as strong a swordsman as you?" He remembers back to when he was young and standing infront of his master. His master had snow white skin with ocean blue hair and purple eyes. His master was holding Nagare as well. "Surge, the way of the blade is never-ending." His master told young Surge as he looked at Niagara. "You must now be negligent!" "Understood!" Young Surge said. "I will become stronger." Surge said to herself while he still had his eyes closed. "I swear to avenge my master!" He then slowly got up. As he stand tall, he slowly open his eyes and took hold the handle of his sword before he try to yanked it out while he yelled. But he failed and fell to floor. He didn't give up though. He tried again and again and again. All ending with him falling to the floor. "The power of the 3 volumes that my master used..." Surge said while on the floor. "I must learn how to use it, no matter what..." He struggled to get back up. In town. Terra was running through the park with his sword, looking for something. "This should be the place that Beat mentioned..." He said to himself as he looked around. Then he saw them up ahead. Legeiel and the Medusa Megid. "There you guys are!" He shouted as he ran to them. "Now, Medusa. Instill fear into the humans." Legeiel command the Medusa Megid. "Very well." Medusa said as she opened a blank white book. The book glowed and that part of the park disappeared before Terra could reach them. "I'm too late!" Terra said. Then his Gatrikephone went off and he answered it. Meanwhile back at the book shop. Sunset, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie went to go get the others. But when Sunset open the door, they were no longer in their world. "Whoa, what the fudge?!" Rainbow shouted when they saw where they are now. Back at the Northern Base. Beat was listening to Terra on her Gatrikephone about what happened. "Wind, there's an anomaly." She said while she was on the phone. "Got it, leave it to me!" Wind said as she got up to head out. "No, wait!" Beat said to stop her. "This one's like nothing we've ever seen. Three places have disappeared at once!" She told Wind. "Three at the same time...?!" Sophia asked with a worried look on her face when she heard Beat said that three places disappeared at the same time. A museum, a park, and a restaurant. With Flash, Twilight, Arabia, and Spike. They were running across a desert with a orang sky. They stop to lool around, like they were lost. "Okay, where do we go from here?" Sprit asked from Twilight's pocket. "Hey Twilight, Arabia, Spike!" Flash said as he pointed to something out in the desert. "We're getting pretty close." "Avalon should be nearby." Twilight said when she looked to where Flash was pointing at. Before they could venture on,Twilight felt something dark coming close. When she turned around, they was someone walking to them. They couldn't see his face because the sun covered him in shadows. "You did well in coming this far." The man's voice was disguised but it sounded familiar to them. "But are you worthy enough to receive its power?" The man asked as he dragged a familiar sword across the sands. It was Calibur's sword, the Sword of Shadows: Ankokuken Kurayami. Twilight felt the same fear she run threw her when she heard his voice. The others saw him coming closer before he stop and hold up the same book Calibur always use. A purple Wonder Ride Book that had a dragon on the cover like the Brave Dragon book, but the title says "Jaaku Dragon." He then opened the book and revealed the story within. Jaaku Dragon. There once was a single mythical beast who birthed the darkness that enveloped the world. The man then close the book and brought his sword up as he place the book on the sliver symbol near the handle. Jaaku Lead He then placed the book in a belt that looks like the Paladin Driver, but it was purple with a black button and beltstrap. "Henshin!" The said after he brought his sword up and press the button on his belt with the bottom of it to open up the book to reveal the rider with in. A giant version of the book that appeared behind open up as well and a dark dragon flew out. Kurayami, the Sword of Shadows! (Moonlight! Darkness! Slash!) ~Get go under conquer than get keen! Kurayami: Deeiphered. The sword of darkness expunges the light, ruling over the twilight dragon in cold blood. The man slashed his sword down and he transform into Kamen Rider Calibur. "We knew you'd be here, Calibur!" Flash said as he stood infront of Twilight to keep her safe as well as Spike. "I'll take care of him!" Arabia said as she ran infront of Flash and took both the Needle Hedgehog book and Lamp do Alangina book and place them both in her driver and pulled out her sword to transform into Kamen Rider Espada, Lamp do Hedgehog. "That way, the Jaaku Dragon book will be ours!" She then took out her Gatrikerphone. Gatrikephone "You three go on ahead!" Espada said as she pressed the button on the phone and throw it behind her as it transformed into the Gatrike Ride. Ride Gatriker! In Wounder World. Sunset, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie were lucky enough to run into Terra while they were looking for someone. "So glad we found you, Mr. Quake. But not what we were hoping for." Sunset said as she and the others all looked around, just when Wind came running to them. "Yo, Terra!" Wind said. "Hey." Terra greeted. When she saw what they were looking at, they saw stone status of people all around them. "What the..." Terra said when he saw the stone status. Then they all heard gun fire coming from not to far. "Stay back! D-Don't move!" An officer shouted as he pointed his gun at the Medusa Megid that was walking towards him. He fell back on the ground and the Medusa Megid's eyes glowed. When the glow reached the officer, he turned to stone. The others saw this and Sunset and the girls took cover as the two riders took out their Wounder Ride Books. Genbu Shinwa Sarutobi Ninjaden "Henshin!" Both Terra and Wind said as they placed their books in their swords and slashed them and transformed into Kamen Rider Buster and Kenzan. ~Grumble, rumble! Gekido, the Sword of Tremors! Hayate, the Sword of Zephyrs! The Megid saw them coming at her. "Don't look at its eyes!" Buster warn Kenzan as they charged at the Megid. "I don't plan on turning into stone!" Kenzan shouted. Buster brought his sword down on the Medusa Megid as she blocked his attack. When she was pushed back, Kenzan charged at her. When Medusa try to attack Kenzan, but she jumped over and slash the Megid when she came down. Buster swung his sword and struck the Medusa Megid down to the ground. When he was about to charge at her again, Zooous showed up and knock him down. Kenzan was shocked to see him. Zooous laugh while Legeiel watched them from on top of a wall. Legeiel jumped down from the wall and transformed into his Megid form as he came down. "Whoa, that guy looks hecka strong!" Kenzan shouted when she saw Legeiel. Even Sunset, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie saw this as well. "I don't really get what's going on, but this looks pretty bad..." Sunset said as she and her two friends watch. Storious walked up from behind the the three girls. Back in the rift. Flash, Twilight, and Spike ran over to the Gatrike Ride and got on. Flash took the steer as Twilight and Spike sat behind him. Flash rave up the Gatrike Ride and was about to drive it when Twilight stopped him while she was riding behind him. Flash was going to ask her why she stop him, when he noticed she was looking at Espada and Calibur fight. Espada was doing her best, but Calibur was too strong. She try to strike him, but he blocked her attack then slashed his sword at her. Both clashed their swords together. "Arabia!" Twilight called out as Flash drive right at Calibur when Espada jumped out of the way. Flash stopped and Twilight looked back. "There's no doubt he'll follow us if we head to Avalon." Twilight said. "Twilight's right, we'll settle things there!" Flash said. "All right." Espada said as she pushed back on her Lamp do Alangina cover back and a flying carpet appeared. Lamp do Alangina The group then made their way to Avalon. Calibur got up from the ground and growled in anger as he followed them. Back in Wounder World. Buster pushed the Megid back as Desast jumped from behind him. When Desast try hit Buster, Buster blocked Desast's attack. "I knew things would be getting interesting!" Desast said as he slashed his sword at Buster again. Kenzan rolled under Zooous's attack and saw Desast here. "I thought I took out that guy!" She shouted while she ducked under Zooous's attack. "He just won't die..." Buster said as he struggled fighting Desast. He spun around when he swung his sword to hit Desast, who ducked out of the way and attack the Medusa Megid who blocked the attack. "It's why he's such a pain to deal with!" He complained as he kicked the Megid back and blocked Desast's attack with his sword. "It's getting me hyped up though!" Kenzan shouted with enthusiasm as she attack Zooous. She then dodged Legeiel's attack and struck Zooous when he came at her. When she turned, Legeiel attack her. "Apologies, but this ends now." Storious called out as he hold Sunset, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie hostage. "We're sorry, we let our guard down." Pinkie Pie said. The girls couldn't do anything to stop him, because he was able to take their geos from them. Back at the Northern Base. Beat felt like she had to do something to help. "Slash..." Sophia said as she walked up to Beat. "I need more time." Beat said as she looked up to Sophia. Sophia looked at Beat with a sad look like she's worried about her. Then the doors to the Libération open up and Surge stumbled out from it and fell to the ground. "Surge!" Beat said as she got up to help him. Surge was covered in sweat from all that time he spend in the Libération. He then got up from the ground and struggled to walk. Beat can see him holding the Tenkuu no Pegasus book in his hand. Back in the rift. Flash, Twilight, Spike, and Espada were running to a spot where a light is shining above them. "We're here!" Twilight said as she and the others looked around. "This is Avalon? I thought it was something more." Spike said as he looked around. From behind Flash, Calibur try to attack him but Espada pushed him out of the way. "I won't let you do that!" Espada said as she counter attack Calibur. "Arabia!" Twilight shouted as she saw her friend fight Calibur. "I have no quarrel with you!" Calibur shouted as he fought Espada. He was able to strike her down to the ground with his sword. Espada rolled down hill as Calibur place his Jaaku Dragon book on the sliver symbol on his sword before he place it back in his belt. Final Lead! Jaaku Dragon. Kurayami: Ending Strike! Learning Flash He then press the button on the handle of the sword and it charged up with power before he slashed right at Espada. Espada try to block the attack but it broke through her defense and she fell down. "Arabia!" Twilight shouted as she to her but both Flash and Spike kept her from getting hit too. "Now hand it over!" Calibur demanded as he looked towards them and charged at them. "Hand over Brave Dragon!" He shouted as he perpar to strike. Flash pushed Twilight out of harm's way and perpar to fight back. Both Twilight and Spike saw Flash's Sword Driver glow, as did the Jaaku Dragon book. Then just before Calibur could hit Flash, a burst energy knock both of them down and two dragons flew out. One was the Brave Dragon and the other was the Jaaku Dragon. The two dragons circle each other as they fly right up to the light. "The bright light and the two dragons have united!" Twilight said as she, Spike, Sprit, and Flash saw the two dragons flew up to the light. Then the dragons and the light came down before it took form of a door. "The door to Avalon has opened..." Calibur said when he saw the door. He then walked over to Flash to make sure he doesn't go through it. But Espada run up to Calibur and grabbed hold of him. "Flash, Twilight, Spike, Sprit, go!" Espada shouted as she hold Calibur back. "Got it! We'll be back for you!" Flash said as he got up from the ground. Then Flash, Twilight, and Spike ran to the door to Avalon. Calibur was able to get Espada off him and strike her with his sword. Flash, Twilight, and Spike ran through the door while Calibur knock Espada back. When the went through, they were in an big white void. They couldn't see anything because the place was too bright. "So is THIS Avalon?" Sprit asked from Twilight's pocket. "But there's nothing here!" Flash said as they looked around. "If you doubt, so shall it be. If you believe, so shall it be." A woman's voice said. When they looked to see who spoke to them, they saw some one in a white cloak. "Who are you?" Twilight asked the woman in the cloak. "Don't seek the great power." The cloaked woman said. "I need that power!" Flash told the cloaked woman. "Do not, do not, do not!" The cloaked woman repeatedly said. "I want to save the world!" Flash shouted. "I need to fix this sword in order to do that!" He said as he walked closer to the cloaked woman. "Do not, do not, do not..." The cloaked woman keeps repeatedly say. "Where... where is it?!" Flash shouted as he ran at the cloaked woman. Back in Wounder World. Zooous punched Kenzan and she couldn't fight back because of Storious had Sunset, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie hostage. Zooous punched Kenzan down to the ground. "We don't need these tricks to defeat them." Zooous shouted at Storious. Zooous walked over to Rainbow Dash who was struggling to get free and chocked her. "That's it... I'll just eat you." "Leave her alone!" Sunset shouted. "My, my. Aren't you just the bold one, Equestrian." Storious said to Sunset who was shocked to hear what he called her. "It's no surprise that these geos are infused with Equestrian magic. It's been so long to feel it in my grasp." He hold the three girl's geos in his hand. Zooous then picked up Rainbow Dash and fling her up in the air. "Stop!" Buster shouted after he knocked Desast back. Zooous was ready to eat Rainbow when she comes down. "Enjoy your meal." Storious said to Zooous when he puts dark chains around Sunset and Pinkie, then walked away. Rainbow then came down and she had her eyes closed, waiting for it to be over. Zooous then opened his mouth wide so that he can swallow her hole. But the Blades slashed him out of the way and caught Rainbow Dash. When she opened her eyes, she saw Blades holding her. "I apologize for the delay." Blades said to Rainbow. "I'm just glad I'm not monster chow. So thanks Surge, for the help." Rainbow said with a small blush on her face. "Surge!" Buster said after he pushed Desast out of the way. "Surge!" Wind shouted when she got off the ground. "Surge!" Sunset and Pinkie Pie said. "I already said this before." Zooous said as he got up from the ground. "There's no way you can defeat me!" Blades set Rainbow down and used his sword to break the chains around Sunset and Pinkie. "Thank you, for saving Rainbow!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she hugged Blades. "Yes, allow me to handle this." Blades said as Sunset pulled Pinkie off him. Blades then took out Peter Fantasista and Tenkuu no Pegasus books and open the covers. Peter Fantasista Tenkuu no Pegasus. There once was a mythical beast who shone from the heavens with its pale wings. He then quickly closed the two books and place them in his driver and yanked out his sword to open all three book and transformed into his Wonder Combo. Unsheathe the Current! ~The mane of the blue beast flutters in the sky! Fantastic Lion! Nagare: Volume Three! The azure blade bares its fangs, bending the galaxy to its will! "In the name of Nagare, the Sword of Currents..." Blades said as he prepared his sword. "I will strike you down!" "Okay, I got to admit. That's so cool!" Rainbow said when she saw Blades's three volume Wonder Combo. Zooous brought out his blades and charged at Blades. As Blades stepped back as Zooous slashed at him, he slashed his sword two times and damage Zooous. Blades then pressed the cover of the Lion Senki book and jumped up high in the air. Lion Senki As Blades came down, he surf on water that appeared and slashed at Zooous. When Zooous and Blades's blades clashed, Blades turned into water and slashed through Zooous. While Kenzan and Buster took on Desast, Legeiel, and the Medusa Megid, they saw how strong Blades had gotten. "He's strong..." Wind said as she was impressed by Blades new form. Zooous got up from the ground and he was mad. "Where is it?!" Flash said to the cloaked woman. The three were still in the white void. "If you doubt, so shall it be." The cloaked woman said. "If you believe, so shall it be." "You said that like 10 times already!" Spike shouted. "Where?!" Flash asked as he charged at the cloaked woman. "Flash, wait!" Twilight stopped him. "This might be a test." "What do you mean by that?" Sprit asked as she flew out from Twilight's pocket. "If you believe, so shall it be..." Twilight quoted the cloaked woman. "Everyone, close your eyes and believe! Trust me!" She then closed her eyes. "I trust you, Twilight." Flash said as he closed his eyes. Spike and Sprit were the last to closed their eyes. Everything went dark and it was just the four of them. As they had their eyes closed, they heard something calling out to them. A Wonder Ride Book that was shining as it fly by Flash and the others. "It's here." Flash thought as he reached out with his eyes still closed. He reached out to the glowing book and grabbed it. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was holding the Wonder Ride Book he heard. "Hey, I got it!" Flash said. The others open their eyes and saw what Flash was holding. The King of Arthur book. King of Arthur "Thus begins the trial to prove your worthiness." The cloaked woman said. Then the white void made a noise and the four were transported to some kind of cave. As they looked around, something was coming at them firing at them. Back in Wounder World. Blades was fighting off both Legeiel and the Medusa Megid. He pushed Legeiel back, then slashed Medusa. When fought off Legeiel and the Medusa Megid, Kenzan and Buster fought off Desast. When Desast used his sword to block Buster's attack, Kenzan slashed her swords while at him. But Desast used Buster's sword to block her attack. "I'll make you go stiff with fear!" The Medusa Megid shouted as her eyes glowed at Blades. Blades swung his sword and a reflection of the Medusa Megid was shown from a floting pool of water that appeared. Medusa then got a taste of her own medicine. "Aaaa! My eyes, my eyes!" "With my swordsman's pride on the line, I will keep the balance of the world!" Blades said as he placed his sword back in the driver. "Go for it!" Pinkie cheered. Blades then pressed the button on the handle of his sword, then yanked it out for a finisher. Final Page! Unsheathe the Current! Pegasus, Lion, Peter Fan. Three Volume Slash! W-W-W-Water He stood beside a book that flipped as he copy what was happening in the book. "Hydro Vortex!" Blades declared his finisher as his sword glowed. Medusa try to shoot at him, but he swung his sword to block her attacks. He then shot a big blast of water at Medusa and it lift it up in the air. He then jumped and slashed the Megid. When the Megid fell to the ground, she exploded in a big splash of water behind Blades. Then the part of the city returned back to the real world and all the people who got turned to stone returned to normal. Blades detranformed back to Surge and sigh in relieved. "Hey Surge!" Pinkie called out as she jumped on him and hugged him. "You did it! You were great!" "What has..." Surge was confused by Pinkie's hugging. "She's just thanking you for saving me and everything." Rainbow said as she walked up to him and pulled Pinkie off him. "Oh and thanks for the save." She had a small blush on her face when she said that. Terra and Wind walked up to the group, but Wind saw that Sunset had a worried look on her face. "Hey, why the long face? We won." Wind said. "Not a total win. Me, Rainbow, and Pinkie lost our geos and they know what I am." Sunset said. "You mean those jewels you girls always have that are infused with Equestrian magic and you are a unicorn from Equestria?" Wind asked, surprising not just Sunset but also Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. "YOU KNEW?!?!?! All three girls asked in total shocked. Back in the cave with Flash, Twilight, Spike and Sprit. They jumped of the way from the blast the thing fired at them. Flash then opened up the King of Arthur book and revealed the story within. A brand of righteousness is struck down from a valiant king. He then placed both the Brave Dragon book and the King of Arthur book in his driver. He then took hold of the handle and hope that he will be able to pull it out. When he pulled on the sword, he was able to pull it out from the driver and the two books open up. Unsheathe the Flame! "Henshin!" Flash shouted as he slashed the sword and transformed into Kamen Rider Saber as flames covered him, in a new Wounder Rider form. When two books synthesize, the hallowed blade is infused with power! ~Wonder Rider! Dragon, King Arthur. The others were amazed and relieved to see him as Saber, just in the nick of time. Before Saber did anything, his sword glowed and so did the driver on Twilight. Both knew what this meant, so Twilight quickly kneel down and Saber tapped her shoulders with his Sword of Flames. Then a Wonder Ride Book appeared in the Paladin Driver. The book had Saber on the cover and the title says Wonder Paladin. Twilight stood up and press the button on the driver to open up the book. It revealed a rider inside with flames behind it. Paladin, Stand! "Henshin!" She shouted as a giant version of the book opened up and flames ingalfed her. When the flames disappeared, she had a full body armor on. The armor had a chest plate that looked like a open book that had Saber's symbol on it. Her armor boots were red and the arms were red with yellow fingertips. Her helmet was similar to Saber but without the sword on top. She had a dragon head on her right shoulder like Saber. She had two sword holders on the sides of her blet. She even carried a sword that look like Saber's, but instead of the emblem it had a red stone on it. A entrusted one that has been given the power of the Sacred Swords, will help protect all that is good! ~Wonder Paladin! The monster fire at the two. The Paladin Rider swung her sword just as Saber swung the sword in his left hand. Slashing! The two swiped the fire ball away. Both Spike and Sprit were amazed by the two. The monster fire at them again and they swiped it away again. It did again with the same results. The swords Saber hold started to glow as he spun around. The Paladin Rider quickly put her sword in her holder and press the button on the handle of the sword. Final Page! King Slash! Paladin Slash! Both then slashed their swords right at the monster and destroyed it. Both Saber and the paladin detranformed back to Flash and Twilight. Both were worn out and glad to retrieve the power of King Arthur. "I was able to wield King of Arthur's power..." Flash thought to himself. "But..." He then looked at the King of Arthur book and thought about what the cloaked woman said. About a trial to prove his worthiness. The story continues! > Volume 1, chapter 8: The sealed one, Arthur. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to Wonder World, where we see Tassel flying around with his umbrella. Whe he sees you reading this new chapter, he smiles. "My name is Tassel." He introduced himself. "I'm currently paying great attention to Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle!" He pulled out a book and opens it up to reveal what happened in the last chapter. "Flash obtained the King of Arthur Ride Book in Avalon." Tassel explained as we see what happened. "And he entrusted the power of the Sword of Flames to his love, Twilight. She was then able to transformed into the Paladin Rider of Flames: Ember. But they was told that it was only the start of his trial." Tassel close the book and looked to you. "It appears that Arthur still has further secrets hidden within it." Tassel as he puts away the book and pulls out a new one. "I for one can't wait to see what that secret it is!" He then open up the new book and we get pulled in to the next chapter. Both Saber and Ember detranformed back to Flash and Twilight. "I was able to use King of Arthur's power." Flash thought to himself. "But..." He looks at the King of Arthur Ride Book in his hand. "Has it acknowledged me yet?" He asked himself. "So, that's the power of the Sacred Sword of Flames?" Twilight thought to herself. "It felt amazing, but..." She looks to her Paladin Ride Book in her hand. "Why does it feel so familiar?" She wondered. "That was so awesome!" Spike said as he ran to the two from his hiding place. "You two were so cool! The way you use that other sword, Flash! And how you transformed into that rider, Twilight!" "Yeah, it was so cool!" Sprit said as she fly around in excitement. "The girls back home are never going to believe this!" Flash heard something being thrown at him. When he saw it, he caught it and saw what it was. It was a large square shape sliver Wonder Ride Book, but the cover was blank. The group didn't noticed at first, but they were back in the white void. "Okay, how are we getting to different places without noticing?" Sprit asked. "It is up to you to draw out its true power." The cloaked woman said. Back in the desert. Espada was thrown to the ground and was injured. Calibur brought up his sword, ready to end it. But he stop knowing that it's pointless to keep going. "There's no point in remaining here any longer." He said as he lowered his sword. "Answer me!" Espada shouted from the ground. "Why did you betray us 12 years ago?" She asked but got no answer. "Answer me!" She demanded as Calibur turned to walk away. "One day you will understand." Was all Calibur said as he walked away. Espada detranformed back to Arabia and started to cry and even struggle to get up from the ground. "Arabia! Arabia!" Twilight called out as she and the others were looking for her. Then they found her in the small ditch she fell in. "Arabia! Are you okay, Arabia?!" Twilight shouted as she and the others went to help her. "Were you able to break the seal on your sword?" Arabia asked Flash. "Yeah..." Flash answered. He and Spike then helped her up and lay her on her back. After they helped her, Flash thought of something back with the cloaked woman. "Flash..." Arabia said as she noticed the wondering look on his face. "What happened?" "Nothing..." Flash lied. He then remember what the cloaked woman said before they went to check on Arabia. "Once you have unleashed its true power..." The cloaked woman said as she walked closer to them and they can see her face. Her skin was sliver and her eyes were two different colors. Her right eye was gold and the other was sliver. She looked to be as the same age as Principal Celestia. "We shall meet again." Back at the Northern Base. Surge, Wind, and Terra came back. "We have returned." Surge said as he came through the Book Gate. "I'm back!" Wind shouted when she came through after Surge. "Safe and sound." Terra said last. "Good work, you three." Sophia said to the three riders. "If I may ask, who are they?" She asked when she looked who's behind them. When the three turned to see who Sophia was looking at. It was Sunset and the girls. "Ms. Shimmer!" Surge said in surprise when he saw her and the girls. "When did all of you get here?!" Terra asked when he saw them. "Sorry, guys!" Sunset said. "After Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy was at the book shop waiting for us, Pinkie Pie followed you three. And when we went after her, we ended up fall through the Book Gate." "I'm so sorry, but I always wanted to visit at least once!" Pinkie said. "I'll admit, Twilight wasn't kidding about this place." Applejack said as she looked around the room. "Nuh-uh, get outta here!" Wind said as she pulled the girls out. "C'mon, it's not that big of a deal." Terra said as he stopped Wind. "They're quite daring." "Yeah, we know!" Rainbow Dash said. "Each of their findings are quite impressive." Surge said to Wind. "Still..." Wind argue. "It seems everyone is quite fond of them." Sophia said. "Friends of Saber is a friend of ours." "Oh thank you for letting us stay, Darling." Rarity said. "And may I say, that gown of yours looks absolutely divine." "Thank you, but it can be dangerous here too." Sophia said. "Oh, that'll do it..." Rainbow said to her friends. Then Flash, Twilight, Arabia, and Spike came through the Book Gate. "We're back." Flash said as he came through the Book Gate. "Hey." Arabia said. "Welcome back, Flash, Twilight, Spike, and Arabia!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she hugged them. "Girls?!" Twilight asked in supperis to see them here. "Why are they...?" Arabia asked. In the Megid lar. Calibur returned, back from Avalon. "Were you able to obtain Avalon's power?" Storious asked as he walked behind Calibur. "No, Saber managed to take it first." Calibur answered Storious. "That's a shame..." Storious said. He then pulled out Sunset's, Rainbow Dash's, and Pinkie Pie's geos from his pocket. "But I managed to get these. These Equestria magic could be useful to you." He hands them to Calibur, then walked off. "It might. But now the question now is whether he can master its power." Calibur said to Storious as he hold the three geos in his hand. "Sounds interesting." Storious said. "Speaking of, while you were out, something else interesting happened as well." He told Calibur before he walked off. "The Megid took your geos?!" Twilight asked Sunset. Back at the Northern Base, Sunset told the others how Storious got them by surprise and took their geos. While she told her what happened, Pinkie ran up the stairs to check the upstairs. "And not only that, but they know I'm from Equestria. And so do they." Sunset said as she pointed to the riders. "Well how long have y'all known that we have Equestrian magic and that Sunset is really a unicorn?" Applejack asked the riders. "For a while, Ms. Apple." Surge answered. "A couple years back, there was a burst of Equestrian magic from the Canterlot High School and another a few months after. Then there was this a ripple in the fabric of reality a few months after." The girls knew what he was talking about. The first burst of Equestrian magic was from the Fall Formal, when Sunset was bad and stole Princess Twilight's crown with the Element of Magic in it. The second one was from the Battle of the Bands, when the Dazzlings try to take over everyone from school. The third was from the Friendship Games, when Twilight was overcame by the magic and turned into Midnight Sparkle. And she destroyed the statue that was the portal to Equestria and nearly destroy reality. "You see, many years ago our world and Equestria was once one. But during the war, we began to to separate from each other." Surge explained. "But, what are the Megid will do now that they have their geos?" Fluttershy asked. "It's more of what Calibur will do with them." Wind said, confusing the girls and Flash. "I'll show what she mean." Surge said as he took out his sword and walked over to Twilight. "May I?" Twilight knew what he was asking. So she took off her necklace with her geo in it and gave it to him. "Thank you. Now observed." He placed the geo on the sliver symbol on the tip of his sword and the sword glowed purple. He then pointed the sword at a pill of books and they floated into the air and to the bookshelves. "So, Equestrian magic is like a power boost for the swords? Fascinating." Twilight said after Surge returned her geo to her. "What I still can't believe is that you are now a rider, Twilight." Rainbow said. Before Sunset told them what happened to their geos. Flash and Twilight told them how he got the King of Arthur Ride Book in Avalon and how she became a Paladin Rider. They even told them about the cloaked woman. Beat was holding the King of Arthur Ride Book and the blank book the cloaked woman gave him. "This unknown book can't be analyzed." She told Flash as she looked over the blank book. "It can't?" Spike asked. "What about the other one?" He pointed to King of Arthur Ride Book. "King of Arthur." Beat said as she looked at the other book. "This Ride Book contains power beyond our imagination. It's unfathomable." Gave the two books back to Flash. "As I thought..." Flash said as he took the two books back. "What's wrong?" Beat asked. "I'm not sure I can master this power." Flash said as he looked at the King of Arthur Ride Book. "Is something the matter, Flash?" Surge asked. "No, it's nothing." Flash lied. "Let us know if something is on your mind." Surge told him. "We're all working together here." "Thanks." Flash said. Everyone in the room saw the worried look on his face, like he is afraid of its power. "Hey, something big happened." Terra said as he came through the Book Gate with his son. "Only one of the three places that vanished has returned." The others were shocked to hear that. "But we defeated the Megid that was behind it." Surge told Terra. "Why would it..." "Sounds like another round!" Wind shouted with excitement. "Well, Twilight? You want to help out?" Arabia asked. "Well. Since now that I'm apart of this, might as well." Twilight said. Then she looked at Flash, who is still looking at the book. "What about you, Flash?" She asked. "How can I draw out its true power...?" Flash thought to himself. "Flash?" Twilight asked as she touched his shoulder. He then looks at her and the others. "What's with you, boy?" Terra asked. "Let us head out." Surge said as he headed to the Book Gate. "I'll be back soon" Terra told his son before he left with the others. "Hey, where are they going?!" Pinkie Pie asked from the balcony. In Wounder World, at a museum. Two grown men were screaming in fear. "No, no, no!" On man said. "I'm too young to die!" The other shouted. A Medusa Megid eyes then glowed and turned both men to stone. Then our six riders came in to see the Medusa Megid. "Medusa!" Twilight said when she saw it. "There was another one!" Wind shouted. Then the Medusa Megid turned to look at the riders while her eyes glowed. "Don't look at her eyes!" Terra warn the others. When they all looked away, Calibur pushed Flash from behind. Flash recovered himself and saw Calibur and Legeiel here. "Now then, show me the power of King of Arthur!" Calibur demanded. Flash got up from the ground and pulled out both the Brave Dragon book and King of Arthur Ride Book. Brave Dragon King of Arthur He then placed both books in his driver and pulled out his sword. Unsheathe the Flame! "Henshin!" Flash shouted as he slashed the sword and transformed into Kamen Rider Saber, Dragon King Arthur form and charged at Calibur. ~Wonder Rider! Dragon, King Arthur Saber swung both his swords at Calibur, but Calibur managed to dodged his attacks. As Saber slashed his swords, Calibur hold his sword and the two were locked in place. "Henshin!" Both Arabia and Surge said as they placed their books in their drivers and transformed into Kamen Rider Espada: Needle do Alangina, and Blades:Fantastic Lion. And they fought Legeiel. Unsheathe the Current! Unsheathe the Lightning! "Henshin!" Both Wind and Terra shouted as they placed their books in their swords and transformed into Kamen Rider Buster and Kenzan. They ran to fight the Medusa Megid. Split the Twin Blades! Fracture the Enemy! "Henshin!" Twilight was the last to say as she placed her Wonder Paladin book in her driver and transformed into Kamen Rider Ember and went to help Saber. ~Wonder Paladin! "Give back those geos!" Ember demanded as swung her sword at Calibur. Calibur pushed Saber back and blocked Ember's attack. Saber charged at Calibur again and swung his two swords as Calibur stepped back to dodged his attacks. Calibur pushed both riders pass him when both try to strike him with their swords. Both riders swung their swords and Calibur blocked both with his sword. "I was right." Calibur said. He then kicked Saber to the ground and used Rainbow's geo on his sword and it glowed blue. He moved so fast, that Ember didn't have time to block when he strike her to the ground with Saber. "That power is best suited for me after all." Calibur said. "Hand it over!" "No way!" Saber said as he got up from the ground and swung his two swords at Calibur. But Calibur knock the King of Arthur sword out of his hand and strike him a few times with his sword. When he thrust his sword forward at Saber, he knocked Saber to the ground. "No!" Ember shouted as she ran at Calibur and thrust her sword right at him. Calibur used Sunset's geo to see in to her mind and see what she had planned. Calibur easily counter Ember and knock her down to the ground again. "Flash! Twilight!" Espada shouted when she saw her two friends on the ground. "What's the matter, Flash?!" Blades asked Saber. Legeiel try to strike at Blades, but Blades dodged his attacks. "You aren't like this!" Buster shouted before he blocked Medusa Megid's attack. As both Saber and Ember got up from the ground, Calibur struck both again back to the ground. "As you are now, you won't be able to save anything!" Calibur told Saber. "You're wrong!" Saber shouted. He then got up from the ground and attack Calibur. "I'll save the cities and the people turned to stone!" He shouted as he swung his sword. Calibur easily counter Saber's attacks and knock him back to the ground. Ember try to strike at Calibur, but he blocked her attack and kicked her back. Saber got up and both riders clashed blades. As he try to push Calibur back, another Medusa Megid sneaked up behind him and shot out a some kind of whip and wrap around Saber's arm. "There's another one?!" Saber asked when the second Medusa grabbed him. The second Medusa laughed. "By defeating you, my sister will be avenged!" She then let go of Saber and wiped it around as Saber did his best not to get hit. "Now I get it!" Ember said as she got up and figure out why there are two Medusas. "In the Medusa Greek myth, there were three sisters! That's why three parts of the city were targeted at once!" Then the second Medusa wiped both Saber and Ember with her whip. "Now turn to stone!" The second Medusa said as she pulled the two riders closer to her and her eyes glowed. Both riders try to looked away, but the Medusa Megid made sure to look at her with her whips. Buster ran in and try to strike at the Megid, but it shot out two whips from her back knock away his sword. Buster detranformed back to Terra as he kept running at the Medusa Megid and grabbed her head. "W-What the...?!" She asked as he grabbed her head. "Calm your senses!" Terra shouted at Saber. "You better promise me that you're gonna win this one!" He then turned its head to face him and her eyes glowed to turned Terra to stone. "Mr. Quake!" Saber called out to the now stone Terra. The others saw what happened to Terra, when he sacrifice himself to save Saber and Ember. "Mr. Quake?!" Kenzan shouted. Saber clinched his fist in anger towards himself. "I did this!" He shouted as he bust free from the Megid's grasp. He then tucked and roll to grab the Sword of Tremors and Jack-to-Domamenoki book from the ground. "It's all my fault!" He shouted as he charged at the Medusa Megid with Terra's sword. Before he could strike the Megid, Calibur struck him on the side. Calibur took out a drak red Wounder Ride Book with a monkey on the cover and the title saying, "Sayuu Journey." He then placed the book on the sliver symbol on his sword. Final Lead! Dark Journey to the West, Learning Flash The blade of his sword extended and turned into a red staff. Calibur swung his sword at Saber a few times, then knocked him at the wall on the second floor. Saber fell from the second wall and saw the stone Terra as he fell. He then fell down the stairs as the second Medusa laughed. Saber detranformed back to Flash when he stopped at the last step. "Now hand it over!" Calibur demanded as he slashed his sword at Flash. Before the slash reached Flash, Blades blocked the attack. Ember ran at him and slashed him with her sword. Calibur may have took the hit, but he slash his sword at her. But he felt like something was missing. When he checked he found that he only have Sunset's geo and Ember took back Rainbow's and Pinkie's. "We must return and rethink our plan!" Blades said as he swung his sword to knock away Calibur's attack. Ember quickly put Rainbow's geo on the tip of her sword and she used the geo's magic to get the other riders out there. Back at the Northern Base. "Welcome back!" Stone said as the riders returned, but without Terra. "Hey, welcome back!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she race down the stairs. "Stone told us that he's going to compete in a three-legged race with his dad!" She stopped when she saw the sad looks on their faces. "He promised to practice with me today." Stone said. "Hey. Why are y'all so sad about?" Applejack asked. Stone saw that his father was not with them. "Where's Father?" Stone asked. The riders, not even Flash know how to tell Stone. "Mr. Quake..." Flash started. "Your father shielded me and Twilight from a Medusa Megid and..." He couldn't say it. Twilight walked up to Stone after she gave Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash their geos. "Terra got turned to stone to save me and Flash. We're so sorry." Twilight said to Stone. Both Stone and the girls couldn't believe what Twilight just said. "You're kidding..." Rainbow said with disbelief. But the looks on the riders faeces told them that she wasn't. Flash then walked up to stone with the Sword of Tremors and gave it to Stone. He even gave Stone the Jack-to-Domamenoki book to him. "I'm so sorry." Flash said to Stone. "It's all my fault..." He said as he walked out. "Flash, wait a sec!" Twilight said as she, Spike, and the girls went after him. "I couldn't do a thing for Mr. Quake..." Wind said in a sad tone. Stone then walked off with his father sword and the book. "Flash was troubled over not being able to fully draw out King of Arthur's power." Beat told the others. "The pressure of responsibility must be getting to him." "But he has to overcome that obstacle himself." Sophia said. "Isn't that right, Blades?" She asked when she looked at Surge. "Indeed." Surge answered. "I believe in Flash. I'm sure he'll get through this." Back at the book shop. Flash was playing his guitar and thought about what Terra said to him before he turned to stone. "Calm your senses! You better promise me that you're gonna win this one!" Were the last things Terra said before he got turned to stone. "Mr. Quake..." Flash said to himself. The girls and Spike watched him play his guitar and feeling guilty for what happened to Terra. Stone then walked up to Flash. "Don't worry!" Stone said to Flash. Flash wounder what he meant by that. "Father will be fine no matter what!" Stone told Flash. Flash smile at Stone and felt a little better. "Stone..." Flash said. The girls and Spike smile as well. "Right on!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "Stone right! If you have time to mope around like this, then you should put that into finding a way to save him!" Rainbow shouted. "Rainbow Dash is right." Applejack said. "Terra wouldn't want to mope over his sacrifice. He would want you to keep your promise." "Yes, Darling." Rarity said. "You did real great as Saber, and in style might I say." "Um, you can do it Flash." Fluttershy said. "We all believe in you." "And we can help you out if you ever need it." Sunset said. Twilight then walked over to Flash and sat down next to him. "And I'll be by your side every step of the way. All of us will." Twilight said as she placed her hand on Flash's. Flash laughed a little, knowing that his friends and girlfriend are by his side. "You finally laughed!" Stone said when he heard Flash laughed. "You're back to normal." "Normal...?" Flash asked as if he didn't understand what he meant. "Make a promise with me." Stone asked. "You better win next time." "I've made the same promise with your dad." Flash told Stone. "Don't worry. Like the girls said, we will be by your side the whole time." Spike said. "That's right! But some of us will be by your side, from a safe distance." Sprit said when she flew out from Twilight's pocket. "Sprit is right. Spike, promise me that you will stay out of danger." Twilight asked. "Ever since you became a human boy, you've been like a little brother and I don't want you to get hurt." "Okay, I promise." Spike said. Flash smile at all of his friends and girlfriend. Then he thought about what Terra said to him. "Calm your senses! You better promise me that you're gonna win this one!" Then he thought about what Arabia asked him. "Flash... What happened?" She asked him. Then he thought about what Surge said to him. "Let us know if something is on your mind. We're all working together here." Then Flash realize what he was doing wrong. "What am I doing?!" Flash thought to himself. "How could I not see what was really important until now?!" "Hey, what are you thinking about, Flash?" Twilight asked. "That I need help with the new power." Flash answered. "And I think I have a plan to destroy the two Medusas and save the people turned to stone." The Megid lar. "Well, what should we do from now on?" Storious asked. "It should be obvious." Legeiel said. "We crush them!" "I'll join in on the fun!" Zooous who's still in his Megid form shouted. "Let's have Legeiel handle it this time." Storious told Zooous. The Northern Base. "The two places sent to Wonder World are still petrifying." Sophia told the riders in the room. "There isn't much time left." "Understood." Surge said. "There should be a Medusa in each part of the city. We should split two groups." "No." Flash said as he and the girls came through the Book Gate. "Let's all go together." "Are you crazy?!" Wind asked. "I can do this solo, y'know!" "I'll need everyone's strength." Flash said. "Flash is right." Twilight said. "Wind, do you have any trump cards up your sleeve?" "Trump cards...?" Wind asked. "Of course I do!" "Good." Flash said. "We'll need it for the plan to work." Back in Wounder World. Terra is still a stone statu. A Medusa Megid and Legeiel was there looking for the riders. Legeiel smile as he sence the riders near. "Looks like everyone's here." He said as the riders arrived at the top of the stairs. "All except for one person, it seems." "Flash..." Twilight said. "Don't worry." Flash said to Twilight. Legeiel transformed into his Megid form, ready to fight them. "Let's do this." "Henshin!" Each rider said as each one brought out their own Rider Book and transformed into their rider forms. They charged at the two Megid and fought them. Saber, Ember, and Kenzan took on Legeiel, while Blades and Espada took on the Medusa Megid. The riders were having a bit of trouble fighting them. Legeiel was able to push the three riders back while Medusa knock back Espada and slashed Blades. As the riders fight the two Megid, Calibur walked over to them. "Do you feel like hanging King of Arthur over now?" He asked Saber as he slashed his sword, but Saber blocked the attack. "Not on your life!" Saber shouted. The two try to push their own sword to get the upper hand. (Flash will be narrating his plan as you read the fight.) (Here's my plan to save both parts of the city, and its people.) The Medusa Megid spun around and slashed at both Blades and Espada. Legeiel kicked Kenzan down and slashed Ember. Calibur strike Saber down. (First we'll make the enemy think they are driving us into a corner.) Saber stood up as each rider was put in one place at the same time. Legeiel, the Medusa, and Calibur had them in a corner. (But really, what we will be doing is bring the two Medusas to one place. That way, we won't get further damage when we fight them) Calibur swung his sword at Saber, and thinks he struck him down. As did the Medusa Megid with Espada and Blades and Legeiel with Kenzan and Ember. "It's about time we end this." Legeiel said as he snapped his fingers. Saber rolled on the ground and blocked Calibur's attack as the second Medusa came up. "You called, Legeiel?" The second Medusa asked. "We'll petrify..." The second started. "...each and every one of you." The first one finished. (We'll take them out at the same time. We'll turned our situation upside down and save everyone!) "All right!" Saber said as he stood up. Each rider looked at one another, ready to put the full plan into action. "All the story characters are accounted for." Saber joked. "Now we determine how this story ends!" "Right!" Each rider said as they ready their swords. Blades place the Tenkuu no Pegasus and Peter Fantasista books in his driver and pulled out his sword to transform into his Fantastic Lion form. And Espada place her Needle Hedgehog book in her driver and pulled her sword to transform into her Lamp do Hedgehog form. Unsheathe the Current! ~Fantastic Lion! Unsheathe the Lightning! ~Lamp do Hedgehog! Calibur charged at Saber and try to strike him. But both Espada and Kenzan blocked Calibur's attack with their swords and pushed him back. Espada dodged Calibur's attack when he broke free. (Arabia and Wind, you two have a great synergy. With your powers combined, you two can become multitudes stronger! You two won't lose to Calibur, if he shows up.) Both Kenzan and Espada was able to push Calibur back. Kenzan was able to kicked him back as Espada slashed her sword at him. Espada the jumped up with a two volume slash. Two Volume Slash! "I'll be the one to take you down!" Espada declared after she slashed her sword. "Now that's the Arabia I know!" Kenzan shouted. "Guess I'll join in too!" She took out her Ride Book and place in the Kobuta 3Kyoudai book. Kobuta 3Kyoudai (Here's where you'll use your trump card, Wind!) Hayate, the Sword of Zephyrs! She then placed the book in the slot on the side of her sword and jumped into the air. Kobuta 3Kyoudai, Nin nin! Hayate: Skimming Strike! Nin nin! As Kenzan came down, she created two copies of herself. Each copy strike Calibur and he was not able to block each attack from the copies. As Espada and Kenzan took on Calibur, Blades took on Legeiel. (Surge, you have surpassed your limits and grown greatly as a swordsman. Your strength can suppress Legeiel!) Legeiel swung his sword down and Blades dodged it. Blades then back flip to dodged another attack. Three Volume Slash! W-W-W-Water! Blades then jumped up high in the air and slashed pass Legeiel. Both Saber and Ember took on the two Medusas. Saber kicked one back, while Ember slashed the other. After Saber knock the second Medusa back, he went to help Ember. Both slashed the Medusa a few times before they thrust their swords forward. The second Medusa ran at them after they kicked the first one. Both blocked her attack and slashed it back. (I was only thinking of drawing out King of Arthur's true power...) Both Espada and Kenzan slashed their swords to push Calibur back. (But I already had something much stronger!) Blades blocked Legeiel's attack and counter attack him. (Twilight, Surge, Arabia, Wind, everyone. The greatest power of all, that's also the greatest magic of all. The power of friendship!) (This is the end of Flash's narration) As Saber jumped back a bit, the King of Arthur Ride Book started to glow. He took it out and open the cover. King of Arthur He then close the book and placed it in the driver. Both the Brave Dragon book and the King of Arthur glowed, then Saber yanked out his sword and opened up both books to transform into his Dragon King Arthur form. Unsheathe the Flame! When two books synthesize, the hallowed blade is infused with power! ~Wonder Rider! Dragon, King Arthur. Calibur saw this and knew what it meant. "King Arthur believed in his comrades, the Knights of the Round Table, allowing him to conquer any foe in his way!" Saber said as he looked at the King of Arthur Sword. "What a pain..." One Medusa Megid said. "Disappear!" Then the snakes on her head shot out to the boulders in the sky. She was then lifted herself up to the sky. From the sky, the Medusa Megid threw some of the boulders right at Saber. But a giant version of the Kingexcalibur Sword appeared as Saber use the regular size one to swing it around. The giant version of the sword copy the small version to destroy each boulder that was being thrown at him. Shashing! Shashing! Shashing! Final Page! King Slash! Saber then swung his swords and the giant version slashed the first Medusa Megid and destroyed it. The second Medusa saw her sister get destroy and got angry. "How dare you kill my sister!" She shouted. The Medusa Megid then jumped up high and started to grow to giant size. "Now I'm angry!" It grabbed hold of a giant meteor in the sky. "I don't think any of us have a book to stop that!" Ember said when she saw the Medusa Megid hold the meteor. Saber then noticed a slot on the side of the Kingexcalibur Sword. So he place his Sword of Flames in his driver and took out the King of Arthur Ride Book. He then placed the book in the slot in the sword. King of Arthur. And now... ~Awaken the giant swordsman within! ~King of Arthur! The giant version of the sword transformed into a giant worrier. Saber and Ember was startled by the giant Swordsman infront of them. As Saber swung his Kingexcalibur, the giant worrier copy him and strike the giant Medusa. Shashing! Shashing! King Slash! The giant worrier knocked the giant Medusa away from the meteor. But even with the Medusa Megid away from meteor, it kept falling. "If that falls, the entire city will be destroyed!" Blades shouted. "Then I'll cut it myself!" Saber said as a blade appeared from on his head all of the sudden. Sword Change! Saber then floated up in the air. "When I said I'd cut it myself, this wasn't what I meant!" Saber shouted as the giant worrier fly down and grabbed him. Kamen Rider Saber! The others saw what happened to Saber. "Flash turned into a sword?" Kenzan asked. "Flash! Are you okay?!" Ember screamed. "Yeah, I'm fine!" Saber shouted. "This is not what I had in mind! But oh well! I determined how this story ends!" He shouted as the giant worrier flew up to the meteor. It then used Saber and slashed the meteor. "Wwwwhhhhoooooaaaaaa!" King Slash! The meteor was destroyed by that one slash. The giant Medusa Megid flew right at the giant worrier, but the giant worrier use the sword in its other hand and Saber to slashed the Megid. King Slash! King of Arthur! After the two slashes the Medusa Megid exploded. "That one way of doing it!" Ember shouted after the Medusa Megid was destroyed. Both Legeiel and Calibur walked away when the Medusa Megid got destroy. Then Terra returned back to normal from stone, as did all of the people when the two parts of the city returned back to the real world. When Terra returned to normal, he fell to the ground on one knee. "He actually did it..." He said when he returned to normal. Flash however was a bit dizzy from when the giant worrier used him as a sword. Lucky for him, Twilight helped him. "Flash..." Arabia spoke with a smile. Flash looked over to Surge. "Flash." He said with a smile. "Flash!" Wind said. Flash then looked at Twilight, who gave him a kiss on the cheek for a job well done. Then each rider fist bump in the center, as they were happy that they did it. They eventually returned to the Northern Base and Stone ran to his father. "Father!" Stone said. "Stone!" Terra said as he hold his arms out to hug his son. "Up you go!" He said as he picked up his son. "Were you behaving?" He asked his son. "Welcome back!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she hugged her friends that came in, while Stone nodded yes to his dad. "Everything's settled thanks to me!" Terra said to his son. "You didn't do anything." The riders and the girls corrected him. "I'm the hero!" Terra said as hold his son high. "No way, no way..." The riders and the girls disagree. "You didn't do anything!" "I was also the one who thought of the strategy!" Terra bragged to his son. "Oh for the love of pete!" The others shouted. "You didn't do anything!" "Boy am I tired..." Terra said as he sat down. "I can't believe this old timer..." Wind said as she rolled her eyes. "They became a great team." Sophia said to Beat as she looked from the balcony of the top of the stairs. "Yes, I agree." Beat said as she looked up to Sophia. She hold in her hand a pink Wonder Ride Book with a ginger bread house on the cover and the title saying, "Hansel to Gretel." "It's the birth of a new king!" Terra shouted as he was on the top of the stairs and hold his son out, like in the Lion King movie. "My humble servants, it's time for a counterattack!" Stone shouted as he play along with his dad. "Yeah!" The riders and the girls played along. Back inside of Tassel's house. Tassel fell through his sealing and on to his chair. "K-King of Arthur's hidden power is that giant worrier, huh?" He asked as he closed his umbrella. "Anyhow, the bond between Flash and his friends have deepened..." He said with a smile. "What kind of story will they show us from now on?" Tassel asked. "I really look forward to it!" In the Megid lar. Calibur was out of his rider form as he sat next to the table, alone. In his hand, he hold a picture of Sombra, his brother, Night Light, Twilight Velvet, a woman with black skin blueish green hair and green eyes with a goo green dress, a man with red skin with white hair and yellow eyes and Sophia. He then folded the picture in half. "Hey mom! I'm home!" Twilight said as she came through the door of her house. "Welcome back, honey." Velvet said as she hugged Twilight. "How was your day?" "It was, exciting." Twilight answered. She didn't tell her mom about what she, Flash, and her friends have been dealing with. Not the Megid, not the Sword of Logos, or anything. "Well you go clean up. Dinner will be ready in five minutes." Velvet told her daughter. As Twilight went up stairs, Velvet caught a glimpse of Twilight's Paladin Driver. Velvet was hoping that wasn't what she saw, but deep down she knew it was. When Twilight was in the bathroom, cleaning up. Velvet snuck up to the attic and open a box. In the box was a Paladin Driver that looked like it hadn't been used in years and a Paladin Ride Book, that looked the same as Twilight's. She took out something next to the two items. It was the same picture that Calibur hold. The Story Continue > Volume 1, chapter 9: Harmonize, the swordswoman's timbre > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to Tassel in his house with his umbrella facing you. "Bonne lecture!" He said when he turned to face you. "For those of you who don't know me, my name is Tassel. My excitement can't be contained!" He said with joy in his voice. "Flash Sentry is absolutely amazing, I tell you!" He then hold up a book and open the cover. We then see what happened in the last chapter. "Who would've guessed that he'd show such skillful master of Arthur's power!" Tassel said as we see Flash hold up his Brave Dragon book and the King of Arthur book. We the see the King of Arthur Kingexcalibur transformed into a giant worrier. "Should he even keep his hobby as a musician with talent like that?" He asked as we see the giant worrier used Saber as a sword and destroy a giant meteor. Tassel close the book while he sat in his chair and looked to you. "And we can't forget the individual he met, either. Or the love of his life,Twilight." He then flipped book to the end. "Twilight has done great so far as Ember, the Rider Paladin of Flames. But what is her mother, Twilight Velvet is hiding?" He asked as we see Velvet opening the box with an Paladin Driver and a Paladin Ride Book inside with the picture that Calibur hold. We even see the cloaked woman with the silver skin and the gold and silver eyes. "Oh?" Tassel said as he went over to a bookshelf and pulled out a new book. "I have a feeling that yet another swordsman, or should I say swordswoman is about to appear." He said as he opened the book and we get pulled in to the chapter of this story. At the Northern Base. Sophia walked out to the balcony with Terra, Wind, and Beat on the second floor. "Saber has obtained Arthur's power." She said. "I'd expect nothing less of the man chosen by the Sword of Flames." Terra said as he is impressed by Flash. "He's surprisingly good!" Wind said. "Though his swordsmanship's got a long way to go." "And Ember has proven to be a great asset to Saber." Sophia said. Then she looked to Beat. "Slash, did you give her friends a Paladin Driver?" She asked Beat who nodded yes. Meanwhile back at the book shop. Twilight had some sticky notes on the wall, each have the title of each Wonder Ride Books she saw before as she looked them over, while Flash play his guitar. Her friends came in, each of them wearing a Paladin Driver. "Hey Twilight. Noticed anything different?" Rainbow asked as she pointed to her Paladin Driver. Twilight wasn't paying attention to them. "Uh, Twilight? What's got you so caught up?" Sunset asked as she tapped Twilight's sholder. "Are you in a slump?" "I'm not!" Twilight answered. "...I think. There are just so many things happening and I'm trying to figure out why." She said as she returned to look over the notes. "Twilight is still trying to figure out how all this is connected to her family." Flash said after he put down his guitar. "Yeah." Spike said as he was reading a comic book. "Oh and hey, nice job becoming Paladins." He said to the girls. "Oh, we're not Paladins just yet, Darling." Rarity said. "We have to picked by one of the riders to become a Paladin Rider." "I'm a little nervous." Fluttershy said softly. "I know we said we will help, but doing it on the field of battle?" "Hey, don't worry about it!" Pinkie Pie said. "We will have each others backs." "Pinkie Pie is right." Applejack said. "We always have been there for each then and we'll always have it now." "Plus, I need to get my geo back one way or another." Sunset said. "I know you did your beast when you got back Rainbow's and Pinkie's. But this time we will be there to help." Twilight smiled at her friends and they all did a group hugge. Meanwhile in the Megid lar. Calibur walked into the room with Storious in there. "Are the preparations complete?" Calibur asked Storious. "Of course." Storious answered. "But it's quite dangerous." He said as he placed three Alter Books on the table. "By combining these three Alter Books with the power of your Jaaku Dragon... And the swordsmen's Wonder Ride Books... I'm sure a book that is even more powerful than Arthur can be created." Storious then walked over to painting that opened up and a shelf holding many different Alter Books were inside. Storious then pulled one of the Alter Books out. The title said, "Mieniku Ahirunoko." Storious walked away from the shelf as it closed up. "Storious!" Zooous shouted as he walked up to Storious with Legeiel behind him. "It looks like you're up to something behind our backs." Zooous said. "Everything I do is so we can proceed with our plan..." Storious told Zooous. "We're already at the last phase!" Legeiel shouted as he pushed Zooous out of the way. He the grabbed hold of Storious shirt. "Failure won't be tolerated." He said to Storious in a dark tone. "Now, now." Storious said in a calming tone. Legeiel then let go of him. "Please look forward to it." Storious said as he walked away. Leaving Zooous, Legeiel, and Calibur in the room. The Northern Base. "It seems that Calibur was also going after Arthur." Sophia said as she walked down the stairs. "Buster, what do you think of Calibur?" She asked Terra. "He was after Saber's Sword of Flames as well." Terra told Sophia. "That's right..." Sophia said. "I've had an odd feeling about Calibur for some time now. Like, where are his two Paladins?" "Don't know. And why he betrayed us..." Terra wondered. "And why that incident 12 years ago happened..." He said as he remembers the attack 12 years ago. Then Book Gate open up and Arabia came through. "Buster..." Sophia said as she saw Arabia came in. "Don't worry about me." Arabia told them. "I also want to know why Uncle Sombra betrayed us." "Espada..." Sophia said as she felt sorry for Arabia. "I'm fine." Arabia told Sophia. "As long as you're not putting on a brave front." Terra told Arabia. "Arabia's strong!" Wind shouted to Terra. "Do I look that way?" Arabia asked. "You seem all right." Terra told Arabia. He then walked up to her. "Don't push yourself too hard, 'kay?" He asked. She nodded her head yes. "Calibur certainly is an issue, but it seems that there are Megid stirring up trouble." Sophia pointed out. "Buster, Kenzan, please look into it." She asked Terra and Wind. "Gotcha!" Wind said. "We're on it." Terra said. The two then headed out. Meanwhile, somewhere in the city. Storious was on top of a building. "This is the perfect Megid for creating a new book." He said. He then took the Alter Book and opened it to release the Megid with in. Dark books flew out and took form infront of Storious. A Ahiru Megid Mienikui Aruhinoko "Quack." The Ahiru Megid said when it was set free. Meanwhile back at the Northern Base. Beat place the King of Arthur book in the drawer under the computer to analyze it. King of Arthur "This power is something else..." She said when she saw the readings. "If I can analyze it, I might just be able to create a new Ride Book." She had a smile on her face with that thought. Flash and the girls with came in Surge while Beat checked the book. "Hey, where are Mr. Quake and Wind?" Flash asked. "They are the ones chosen by special Sacred Swords." Sophia said to the group. "Experts in battle, you could say. Everyone has their own role to play here." She then looked to Beat. "Just like she does." "I see." Flash said as he walked next to Beat. "Thank you for always maintaining the Sacred Swords!" She didn't give any response. "Uh, thank you." Still nothing. Surge hold back his laughter while Arabia smiled. "So, when are these guys going to chose one of us to be their Paladin?" Rainbow asked Sophia. "You girls play a crucial role for us as well." Sophia told the girls, then looked to Spike and Sprit. "Even the two of you." "We do...?" Both Spike and Sprit asked. Sophia then looked to Twilight. "And Ember. You remind me of someone who had the same role as you." She told Twilight. "Really...?" Twilight asked, making her wonder who it was. "Well, I feel really encouraged when I'm with my friends." "Me too." Flash said. "There's nothing to be feared as long as I'm with all of you!" "An't that right, Arabia?" Twilight asked as Arabia nodded yes. "I suppose so." Arabia said. Sunset was glad she was with the people who believe in one another. She looked at both Twilight and Flash, till something caught her eye. "Hey, look!" She said as she pointed to something on the second floor. On the second floor, a book was glowing. "A shining book!" Pinkie Pie said as she saw what Sunset pointed at. She then ran up the stairs to check it out. "Looks like the Megid are making their move." Sophia said. As Pinkie pulled the glowing book from the bookshelf, she opened it and a page showed her people in Wounder World and in danger. "Whoa!" Pinkie Pie said when the page popped up. "So that's how y'all know whenever another incident comes up." Applejack said. "Hey Spike!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she tossed him the book. "Maybe you should hold on to it!" "Exactly what I was going to propose." Sophia said. "Y-Yes ma'am!" Spike said as he saluted to her. "Shall we?" Surge asked the other riders. "Oh yeah, Beat, how's Arthur?" Flash asked. Beat still didn't give any response. "Why is she ignoring me?! Just bring it to me when you're done!" Flash told Beat. "Or maybe she shouldn't since she's not a swordswoman." Rainbow said. "Come on now, let's get a move on." Arabia said as she pulled Rainbow Dash away before she could say anything else. In Wounder World. A Ahiru Megid attack as the people ran for their lives. Velvet was also there because she was walking home from work when the Megid took the part of the city to Wonder World. By her side running was three little girls. One had yellow skin with red hair with a pink bow in it, she is the little sister of Applejack, Apple Bloom. Another girl has white skin with light pink and white swirly hair, she's the little sister of Rarity, Sweetie Bell. The third had orange skin with purple hair, her name is Scootaloo. Velvet tripped and fell to the ground, she told the three girls to go on. Another Ahiru Megid saw her and picked her up. "Are you hurt, missy?" The Ahiru Megid asked. Velvet elbow the Megid and ran for it. She knew even if she run all she wants, she couldn't escape. When she found cover where the CMCs are hiding, Velvet reached into her purse and pulled out the Paladin Driver and the Paladin Ride Book from the attic. She never thought she would use them again, but a part of her felt like she need it just in case. "Let's keep this going!" They heard another Ahiru Megid shouted with joy. They can tell that the Megid is enjoying his time. "Boy, do I hate this! Get back! I told you not to get closer. So long, sucker!" Shouted another one as it pushed people as it went down the stairs. Velvet and the girls saw three Ahiru Megid casing trouble. They then saw another Ahiru Megid near by. "Quack, quack, quack..." Said the Ahiru Megid as laughed. "All righty, let's go hard and get the swordsmen--" Said a invisible Ahiru Megid before the other Ahiru Megid knocked him to the ground and turned him visible. "Ow! Watch it! I'm right here, you know?!" It said to the other Ahiru Megid. "Your invisibility is getting in my way." The Ahiru Megid told the other. "Move it, will you?" Then both Velvet, the girls, and the Ahiru Megid heard something. "Quack?" From where Velvet and the girls was hiding, saw Flash, Surge, and Arabia came in with their Sword Drivers. What really caught her eye was the sword in Flash's driver. Plus she was shocked to see Arabia, for she hasn't seen her in years. Not only that, but she saw Twilight and her friends come up behind them. "How did they get here?" Apple Bloom asked. "There they are." Flash said when he saw the five Megid. "There's quite a few of them. Attack on my mark." Surge said as he, Flash, and Arabia put on their drivers. "You girls go help anyone around." Twilight said as she puts on her driver. The girls went off to get people to safety, while the riders charged at the five Megid. One Ahiru slashed at Flash, but he dodged it before it hit him. After Flash kicked it back, he pulled out his Brave Dragon book and Storm Eagle book and place both of them in his driver. Brave Dragon Storm Eagle After he placed them in his driver, he yanked the sword and the two books open up. Unsheathe the Flame! "Henshin!" Flash shouted. Surge placed his Lion Senki book and Tenkuu no Pegasus books in his driver as he dodged a Ahiru Megid's attack and knocked it back. He then took out the Peter Fantasista book out and opened the cover. Peter Fantasista As he closed the book and placed it in the driver, he ducked under the Ahiru Megid's attack again. After he rolled pass another attack, he yanked his sword and all three books open up. Unsheathe the Current! "Henshin!" Surge shouted. With Arabia. She place the Needle Hedgehog and Lamp do Alangina books in her driver as dodged an attack from a Ahiru Megid. When it came at her, she punched it back. She then pulled out her sword and the two books open up. Unsheathe the Lightning! "Henshin!" Arabia said. With Twilight. She used her magic to push two of the Ahiru back as she pulled out her Paladin Ride Book and placed it in her driver. After she ducked under an attack, she pressed a button on top of the driver and the book open up. Paladin Stand! "Henshin!" Twilight said. All four of them transformed into their rider forms. Flash to Saber, Dragon Eagle. Surge to Blades, Fantastic Lion. Arabia to Espada, Lamp do Hedgehog. And Twilight to Ember. It's the tempestuous Dragon Eagle! Saber leep over the Ahiru and slashed it with his sword. He jumped over the Ahiru again and slashed it back. He then jumped on the Megid and knocked to the ground. The mane of the blue beast flutters in the sky! Fantastic Lion! Blades use his sword to blocked a Ahiru's attacks then slashed to the ground. Another try to get him, but Blades blocked its attacks and slashed it a few times. He the spun around as he kicked to the ground. "That was close!" He said as the Megid fell to the ground. ~Spikes on spikes, Lamp do hedgehog! "Check out my claws!" A Ahiru Megid said as Espada back flipped. Espada use her sword to block the Ahiru's claws. Espada then kicked to the ground. When another one try to get her from behind, she blocked the attack with her sword. She then spun around and slashed a few times then kicked it back. She then did a leg sweep at it to the ground. ~Wonder Paladin! Ember slashed her sword at a Ahiru Megid that try to attack her. Velvet watch her own daughter as a rider fight the Megid infront of her. Ember slashed her sword as she flipped over the Ahiru. When she landed on the ground, she roundhouse kick it to the ground. Then CMCs saw everything that was happening and they thought it was amazing. "That's so cool!" Scootaloo shouted. That got the attention of Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash. "What are you three doing here?!" All three asked the CMCs. Then just now noticed that Twilight's mom was here too. They didn't know what to say to Velvet. "We were just on our way to the club house." Apple Bloom said. "When all of the sudden, this giant book like the ones that made parts of the city disappear took us here." Sweetie Bell said. "We swear that we had nothing to do with all this!" Scootaloo said. "We know it's not any of your faults. Just stand by us and stay safe." Applejack told the three girls. As for Velvet. The three teens didn't know what to do. She saw Twilight transformed and is watching her fight right now. As for the fight, Saber jumped at Ahiru Megid. He slash his sword right at the Ahiru. "Your back is out in the open!" A Ahiru Megid said as he is invisible and attack Saber from behind. "What?!" Saber wonder what hit him and saw nothing. "Where do you think you're looking?" A Ahiru Megid asked as he came in for an attack. "You too!" The invisible Ahiru said to Blades as he attack him from the back too. "What is going on?" Blades asked when a Ahiru Megid got him when he was paying attention. The invisible Ahiru attack both Ember and Espada on their sides. "Invisible attacks?" Espada asked as she looked around. "Where is the thing doing it though?" Ember asked as she looked around. Velvet was lost in her own mind. She didn't hear Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, or the CMCs telling her to move. She didn't even took her eyes off of Ember or Saber. She got flashbacks to when she was out there fighting as Ember with her own Saber. Then not far from where the fight is happening. Calibur walked in and when Velvet saw him, she felt a mix of both fear and anger. Saber kicked a Ahiru back and saw him. "Calibur!" Saber shouted. "W-Who is that?" Apple Bloom asked as Applejack put Apple Bloom behind her. As did Rarity and Rainbow Dash did with Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo. "Just stay behind us, Sugercube." Applejack told her younger sister. Espada pushed the Megid back and saw him as well. "I have a lot of questions for you!" Espada shouted as she hold up her sword and placed the Needle Hedgehog book on the sliver symbol on the tip of it and charged at Calibur. Hedgehog, hmm, hmm... Calibur draw out his sword as Espada charged at him. Unleash the Shadow! Explicating Flash! Espada came down with her sword covered in spikes and the two clashed blades. Calibur slashed his sword at her then kicked her to the ground. "What?!" Espada said as something is wrong. Meanwhile, in the Megid lar. The hand writing machine started to write a new Alter Book while the three Alter Books beside it started to glow in a dark aura as did the quill on the writing machine. "Things are proceeding well, Calibur." Storious said as he saw the dark aura. Back in Wounder World. Blades knocked back a Ahiru Megid to the ground. "I'll handle him!" Blades shouted as he closed the cover of the Peter Fantasista book. Peter Fantasista Calibur put his sword in his holder and press the button on the handle of the sword. Unleash the Shadow! Explicating Flash! Blades send a slash wave of water at Calibur, as Calibur draw out his sword and block his attack. The sword was covered in darkness as he hold it. "His attack didn't work?!" Saber asked as he hold back a Ahiru Megid. "What's happening?!" Ember asked as she slashed a Ahiru Megid. Back at the Northern Base. Sophia, Spike, and Beat watch the fight from three books that are floating above the table. Beat open the drawer with the King of Arthur Ride Book inside and took it out. She then went out of the room for some reason. The Book Gate open up and someone walked in. She had light red skin with mist grey hair. She wearing a full black dress with a bird on the back made out of a mist. This woman walked in and saw the fight happening in the books and saw Saber. "Is that Saber, the Swordsman of Fire?" The woman asked. "You're..." Sophia was surprise to see the woman here as this woman smiled. Down in what looked to be a basement with a computer in there. Beat came in the room and walked over to the computer. She stopped for a second as she looked at the item on the computer desk, she then grabbed hold of a handle of a sword that had a pink emblem on it. Back in Wounder World "Oh my, the Sworsman of--" A Ahiru Megid was interrupted by Saber when he hit its stomach. Calibur and Saber then clashed blades with each other. Ember jumped in and three locked blades. "Why did you betray your friends?!" Saber asked Calibur. "Why are you doing all this?!" Ember asked. "It's simply human nature." Calibur answered them both. "You're wrong!" Both Saber and Ember shouted as they pushed him back. Both of their swords were then covered in flames as they slashed at Calibur, damaging him. "People help each other out in order to move forward!" Saber shouted as he slashed his sword. "That's what friends are for!" Ember said as she slashed her sword. "I don't need friends!" Calibur told the two as he blocked one of their attacks. He then pulled Saber forward and slashed him. Calibur then jumped over Ember and slashed her from behind. His sword was covered in darkness as he try to slash the two. But both Saber and Ember rolled out of the way before he got ether of them. "Then..." Saber started. "What are you trying to do?!" He asked as he stood up. Calibur just slashed Saber and didn't answer him. The two slash their swords and the two were at a stalemate. Ember try to break their stalemate by slashed at Calibur. But Calibur pushed Saber in the way and Ember hit Saber by accident. Calibur then slashed both of them at once, knocking them back a few feet away and to the ground. "What you see may not be the truth." Calibur said. "The truth?" Saber asked. "What do you mean, "the truth"?" Ember asked. "I will obtain absolute power and attain the eternal truth." Calibur said as he walked closer to them. He then swipe his sword as the two blocked it with their swords. "The world isn't as clear-cut as you both think it is." He told the two. As the two try to slash him, Calibur kicked them back. "Please spare me..." A Ahiru Megid begged Espada as she got him by the arm. Espada watched her friend fight Calibur with Saber. "So what?!" Saber asked as he and Ember got free from the hold of the three sword lock. Saber try strike Calibur, but Calibur blocked it. Calibur then grabbed Rekka by the emblem and the two energy from both swords flow out everywhere. "What?!" Saber wonder what was that about. Velvet watch the go on from where she is. And when she saw Calibur grabbed Saber's sword, her Paladin Book glowed. Like its power returned to it. "Mrs. Velvet, what was that?" Rarity asked when she and the others saw that glow. Velvet didn't answer her. She just put on her Paladin Driver, which shocked the three teens. She then placed the book in the driver and press the button on top and the book open up to reveal the rider inside it. Paladin, Stand! "Henshin." Velvet said as flames flow out from the giant version of the book that appeared behind her and covered her. When the flames vanished, in the place of Velvet was an Ember. Only the book chest plate was covered in gold and so was the center of the body below. And her sword's blade was golden as well. ~Wonder Paladin! Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash jaw's dropped when they saw her transformed. The Ember who is Twilight remember something when Calibur grabbed Saber's sword and both energy. Her dreams when her father, Night Light was welding Rekka. When her father and Calibur clashed blades, Night Light looked at Calibur as the they locked swords. "Why did you betray us?!" Night Light asked Calibur. Twilight then woke up from her day dream when she heard Calibur spoke. "This Sacred Sword is not yours to wield!" Calibur told Saber as he moved his arm with the sword. "What did you say?!" Saber asked. Calibur then slashed Saber back, making him fall back. Just then, the Ember who is Velvet came in and pushed Calibur back. Both Saber and Twilight saw her and wonder who this Ember is. Back at the Northern Base. Both Sophia and Spike saw what happened during the fight between Saber and Calibur. "They were resonating with each other...?" Sophia asked. "No, that can't be..." She started to wounder who Calibur really is. "Hey Sophia, who is this person?" Spike asked as he pointed to the woman who came in. "Spike, can I leave this place to you?" Sophia asked when she looked at Spike. "Wait, why?!" Spike asked as Sophia went to the Book Gate. Spike try to follow her but the woman stopped him. "Let's watch them together, shall we?" The woman asked. "Like I said, who are you again?" Spike asked the woman. Back in the fight. Espada roundhouse kick a Ahiru Megid to the ground and saw the Ember in gold and knew who she was. "Don't forget that Flash,Twilight, and her isn't your only opponents!" Espada shouted as she charged at Calibur. Both the Ember in gold and Espada slashed their swords just as Calibur did. When Espada thrust her sword forward, Calibur blocked it then spun Espada in the air and to the ground. The Ember in gold charged in and the two seemed to be evenly match. Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Applejack went to help Saber and Ember up. "Girls, who is that?" Ember asked as she pointed at the one in gold. "Uh, well. That's your....mother, Darling." Rarity answered her sheepishly. "My WHAT?!" Ember was shocked to hear that the Ember in gold who's fighting Calibur, is her mother. Calibur and the Ember in gold clashed blades Ember then jumped over him and try to slash him. But Calibur blocked her sword and then grabbed her leg and thrown her right at Espada who try to get up. Calibur then closed the book in his belt and took it out. "Be caught in bindings of darkness!" Calibur shouted as he scan the book with his sword. Final Lead! Jaaku Dragon, Kurayami: Ending Strike! Learning Flash! Then darkness shot out from his sword and wrapped around the riders and the tree girls. "What's going on...?" Saber asked as he can't move like the others. A Ahiru Megid then strike at Saber and he fell to the ground. "I cannot move!" Blades shouted as another Ahiru Megid strike him from the back. "Apologies for the backfist." A Ahiru Megid said to Espada as he knocked her to the ground. The two Embers were kicked to the ground by two more Ahiru Megid. Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash try to get get free from something that was holding them. But no luck, they couldn't move an inch. "I'll be taking your Wonder Ride Books." Calibur told the riders. He then took the Needle Hedgehog book from Espada and the Tenkuu no Pegasus book from Blades. "Our Wonder Ride Books!" Blades shouted as Calibur took his book. Calibur walked over to Saber, ready to take a book from him. But then a diamond sheald blocked his path. Rarity was using her magic to keep Calibur from hurting her friends or taking another book. Just then, Beat came threw a book and saw them in trouble. "You guys having trouble?" Beat asked. Calibur turned to see her. The others were surprise to see her here. She was wearing a dark magenta jacket. She had a pink sword on the holder on the side of her belt. "Beat!" Saber shouted before a Ahiru Megid kicked him in the face. "Get outta here, it's too dangerous!" Ember told Beat. "Who the heck are you?!" The invisible Ahiru Megid asked. "You're in my way, too!" It then charged at her. Beat was not able to see the Ahiru Megid, but she can hear him. As he try to strike her, she moved to the side and dodged the attack. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" The Ahiru Megid turned visible and fell to the ground. "Wait, you could see me?" The Megid asked. "My sight was not what assisted me." Beat told the Megid on the ground. "My hearing is simply second to none." She said as she pointed to her eras and the Megid went "ooo". She then pulled out a pink Wonder Ride Book. "Now it's my turn." She said as she opened the book and revealed the story within. Hanselnuts to Gretel: A sweet, but stange tale of adventure occurs when a pair of siblings wandered into a forest. She then closed the book and draw out the sword. She hold the sword upside down as she placed the book in the slot in the sword. She flipped the sword around and pulled the trigger that opened the book up. Hanselnuts to Gretel, Jam With the Bayonet! "Henshin!" Beat shouted as she thrust her sword forward and transformed. ~Go! Go with the gun! I'd rather go with the sword! Suzune, the Sword of Echoes! Movemtne of Suzune, The bayonet's sweet allure spreads a funky rhythm to jam through the beat! "Wait, did Beat just transformed?!" Rainbow asked when she and the others saw Beat transformed into Kamen Rider Slash. "Beat is a swordswoman like we are swordsmen." Blades told Rainbow Dash. "It took quite some time for her to repair her damage Sacred Sword." "Here I come!" A Ahiru Megid shouted as he charged at Slash. "I'm finally back on the stage..." Slash said as she took a battle stands. "Let's play!" She then charged at the Megid and strike it with her sword. She ducked when he try to kick her and slashed again up then down. "I couldn't do a single thing..." The Ahiru Megid said as he fell to the ground. "I'll get you for that!" Shouted another Ahiru Megid shouted as he charged at Slash. Slash closed the book in her sword and put it in a slot near the handle. Hanselnuts to Gretel "Snack on the Chopper." Slash said. The blade glowed bright pink as the Ahiru Megid charged at her. She then slashed him when it got close. Suzune: Recital Strike! Yay! The Ahiru Megid was covered in sparkles before he exploded. Saber and the others were amazed by how Slash took on two Ahiru Megid with no problem. "Let's use this next." Slash said as she hold up a purple Wonder Ride Book and opened it up to reveal the story within. Bremen no Rock Band: A band of animals sounds a triumphant quartet as they were forced into battle. She then closed the book and after taking out the Hanselnuts to Gretel book, her sword bent forwards and the center split. It was like a gun now. Play the gun! She then placed the book in the slot in the sword and pulled the trigger that opened the book up. Bremen no Rock Band, Jam With the Bayonet! "Come forth!" Slash said as she her armor changed. Go with the sword! No! No! Go! Go with the gun and bang bang! Suzune, the Sword of Echoes! "I only need five seconds to beat you." A Ahiru Megid said as he and another Ahiru charged at her. "Here I come." Said a third one as he charged as well. "Quack this, quack that, just shut your beaks already!" Slash told the three Megid. Her tone was different, she spoke like she was a rock star. "I'm gonna rock on to the ultimate sound from here on out!" She the fire a blast from her sword and shot a Ahiru Megid before he reached her. "You got me." The Ahiru Megid said as he fell. "Come on!" Slash shouted as she spun around and shot under her arm. Blasting another a few feet back. Slash then screamed as she jumped in the air and fire multiple shots at the third one. "She seems..." Saber started as he watched Slash. "Really hyped up?!" Ember finished. "But why in tarnation is she like that?!" Applejack asked. "It appears that she's only like this when she uses Bremen no Rock Band." Blades figured. "I don't if this is weird or awesome." Rainbow Dash said. Slash then closed the Bremen no Rock Band book and took it out. "Listen to how rad this is!" She shouted as she puts it in the slot next to the handle. Bremen no Rock Band "That's it!" Slash shouted as the speakers on her right shoulder went off. "I'm feelin' the beat!" She tapped her foot. She then crisis cross her legs as she spun around. Yay! Suzune Recital Strike! Yay! She then aim and fire a big blast that freed the riders and the girls. "She undid the curse..." The Ember who is Velvet said as she and the others got up. "Saber!" Slash shouted as she hold up the King of Arthur book. "Lemme hear how extreme your sound can be! Catch!" She then tossed the book to Saber. "You got it!" Saber said as he puts his sword back in the driver and closed his two books and took out the Storm Eagle book. He then open up the King of Arthur book. King of Arthur Saber then closed the book and place it in the third slot on his driver. He then pulled out his sword and he transformed into his Dragon King Arthur form. Unsheathe the Flame! When two books synthesize, the hallowed blade is infused with power! ~Wonder Rider! Dragon, King Arthur Calibur took out the Saiyuu Journey book and place it in on the sliver symbol on his sword. Dark Lead. Dark J to the West. Saber brought the giant Kingexcalibur sword and brought it down at Calibur just as a drak clowd blocked the attack when Calibur swung his sword. King Slash! Kurayami: Ending Strike! Learning Flash The giant sword broke threw the clowd and strike Calibur. The strike send the Saiyuu Journey book fly out from Calibur and right to Saber. "Thanks for the red Ride book!" Saber said. "Wait a moment!" Blades shouted as he kept back a Ahiru Megid. "That would complete your Wonder Combo...!" "What's a "Wonder Combo"?" Apple Bloom asked as she and her two friends watch the fight. "You're about to find out!" Saber said as he closed and took out the King of Arthur book. He then took the Saiyuu Journey book and open the cover to reveal the story within. Saiyuu Journey: A record of adventure details the marvels of a monkey's illustrious trip. Storm Eagle He then close the book and place both the Saiyuu Journey and Storm Eagle books in his driver. Saber could feel the power of all three books even if he didn't yanked out the sword yet. Saber the pulled out his sword and all three books open up. Unsheathe the Flame! ~The Mythical Beast passed down through the ages answers by the name of... Crimson Dragon! Rekka: Volume Three. The crimson blade vanquishes evil, setting the whole world aflame! The CMCs saw Saber's Crimson Dragon form and was amazed. "That looks so awesome!" All three girls shouted when they his new Wonder Combo. "It's been so long since I saw that." The Ember who is Velvet said to herself. Twilight heard her mom said that and she can tell that after all this, she and her will have a long talk. "I determine how this story ends!" Saber declared. Saber then charged at Calibur just Calibur charged at him. Saber's sword was aflame as he and Calibur clashed blades. Thanks to the third book, Saber seems almost a match for Calibur. Both seemed to sending powerful strikes each time they slash their swords. When Calibur slash at Saber, Saber jumped out of the way. Saber then shot out a long bow staff from his left arm right at Calibur. Saber then spun around as a fire tornado formed strike Calibur. Saber shot the staff at Calibur again and swung his sword when Calibur's gard was down and sent Calibur flying to the ground. The Ahiru Megid got the upper hand on Blades as he was sent flying. Ahiru Megid try to strike him down, but the Rarity used her magic to protect him. "Are you all right, Darling?" Rarity asked. "I am, thank you." Blades said. Blades knew they can't keep this up. Then he knew what he needs to do. "Ms. Bell, kneel." Rarity did what Blades asked. Blades then brought up his sword as the emblem glowed. He then tapped her shoulders with his sword and water flow from the emblem and a Paladin Ride Book with Blades on the cover appeared in Rarity's driver. Rarity saw this and knew what this meant. She stood up and pressed the button on the driver and the book open up to reveal the rider inside. "Henshin!" Rarity said as water flow from a giant version of the book that appeared behind her and covered her. Paladin, Stand! When the water burst away, in the place of Rarity is a rider that a sliver book chest plate with Blades's symbol on it. Her armor is blue with white flow streaks on the arms and legs. On her shoulder is a blue lion head and her helmet is similar to Blades, but without the sword on top. Her sword is like Ember's but the stone is blue. A chosen champion by the Swordsman of Current will wash away all evil! ~Wonder Paladin! "Marvelous!" Rarity said as she looked over herself. Just then, the Ahiru Megid charged at her and she felt like her body was on auto pilot as she dodged his attacks. She then used her sword to slash the Ahiru Megid back. The way she moved is like she is doing a butieful dance as she attack the Ahiru Megid. With Slash, she took out the book in her sword and placed it in the slot in the sword. "Guns and Music!" She shouted her attack. Bremen no Rock Band. Suzune: Recital Strike! She ran as she fire right at the Ahiru Megid. "Hey come on!" Slash shouted as she stop and fire multiple shots at the Megid. "The echo of my blade is like no other!" She shouted as she the explosion happening behind her. "EXPLOSION!" Slash shouted when it happened. Blades put his sword in his driver and pressed the button on the handle just as Rarity put her sword in the holder on the side of her belt and pressed the button on the handle. Final Page! Rarity pulled out her sword and water flow on it and Blades fingers. They both shot a big flow blast of water at the Ahiru Megid and a bubble of water form around it. "Leo Cascade!" Both declared the attack as they charged and did a rider kick. Lion, Peter Fan. Two Volume Strike! W-W-Water! The two lended behind the Megid after the kick. "With my swordsman's pride on the line, I will keep the balance of the world!" Blades declared. "With style and dazzle, I will keep my friends safe from harm's way!" Rarity declared as the Megid behind them exploded. Espada place her sword in her driver and pressed a button on the handle of the sword. Final Page! "Alangina Diablo." Espada declared her finisher as she jumped high in the air and did a rider kick right at the Ahiru Megid. Alangina. One Volume Strike! Thunder! "Quack!" The Ahiru Megid shouted when Espada struck him. "We've reached the end of your story." Espada said as the Ahiru Megid exploded. As Calibur stood up, the last Ahiru Megid bumped into him. "Ah, my apologies." The Ahiru Megid said. "Now's your chance, Flash!" Espada shouted. "You mean, now's our chance!" The Ember in gold said as she, Ember, and Saber place their swords in his driver and their holders. "You know, mom. After this we need to talk!" Ember said. "Let's do it!" Saber and the two pressed the button on the handle of their swords and yanked them out. Final Page! Unsheathe the Flame! Dragon, Eagle, J to the West! Three Volume Slash! F-F-F-Fire! Flames gathered to their swords as they got ready to strike. "Bursting Crimson Slash!" All three declared as they slash their swords and multiple fire balls were shot right at Calibur and the Ahiru Megid. "These flames are nothing to me...!" Calibur said as he use his sword to asorbed the attack. Back in the Megid lar. The dark aura from the three Alter Books and Writing Hand Machine went darker. Saber and the two Embers kept at the heat right at Calibur and the Ahiru Megid. "That's as far as I can go..." Calibur said as he pulled the last Ahiru Megid to take the hit. "Wait, no!" The Megid shouted as the attack hit him and exploded. Back at the Northern Base. The woman smile as she saw Saber destroy the Ahiru Megid. "That's Saber, huh? Not bad." She said as she is impressed by this new Saber. She's holding a yellow Wounder Ride Book with a three headed dog on the cover and the title saying, "Tri Cerberus." The part of the city returned back to the real world. Calibur stood up and walked away. "Calibur!" The Ember in gold shouted as she try go after him. But Twilight was holding on to her. "Mom, wait!" Twilight said. Ember looked to her daughter and saw the looks on her face. Velvet knew she had a lot of explaining to do. So she detranformed back to Velvet as the others gathered. "Hey! Way to go, guys!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she, Sunset, and Fluttershy came back. She noticed the Paladin Ride Book in Rarity's driver and a Paladin Ride driver on Twilight's mom. "What we miss?" Flash almost fell before Twilight and Sunset helped him. "Flash!" Twilight said as she helped him. "Hey, what's wrong with him?" Sweetie Bell and Sprit asked. The CMCs were surprised to see a real life fairy here. "It's like all my strength has left my boby..." Flash said as the two girls hold him. "Wonder Combos push swordsmen to their limit, both physically and mentally." Beat told Flash. "She's back to normal." Rainbow Dash said. "She's right." Velvet said as she walked up to Flash. "It will take some time before you can fully have full mastery of the Crimson Dragon combo." She then looked at Arabia and Sprit, then smile. "Arabia, you always did have your father's eyes. And Sprit, your fairy dust is brighter than last we saw each other." "Hey Velvet." Arabia said. "I hear you became a novelist. I love your writing, by the way." "Long time no see, Velv." Sprit said as she landed in Velvet's hand. "My mom saids hi." "But what I would like to know is how you're still able to move, Surge?" Applejack asked. "You use a Wonder Combo and you're fine." "It's the result of my training." Surge answered. "And like what Mrs. Velvet said, you will be able to master it as well if you do the same." He told Flash. "Gotcha..." Flash said. He then hold up the Saiyuu Journey book. Twilight looked at it and she got a flashback of her as a little girl with another little girl with the pop-up book sitting under a tree. "That girl..." Twilight thought. Then another girl came by and waved to them. "And the other..." There was a bright light covering the third little girl's face. But she saw Sprit smaller, meaning that she was younger. All four of them sit down under the tree as they looked at the book. "There were four of us..." Twilight said out loud. Arabia, Velvet, and Sprit heard Twilight say that. That means she's slowly remembering and soon she will know the truth soon. "Twilight," Velvet started. "Me and your brother will have a talk later." "Don't let your guard down just yet." Beat said. "Right." Arabia agreed. "Calibur took our Wonder Ride Books." This is bad. "Then let's take him down and get our books back." Flash said. "I know we can do it together!" Elsewhere, in the forest. Calibur slashed his sword and a dark door opened up. Before he could go through, he felt someone coming. The dark door vanished and when he turned he saw a rift made of light open up and Sophia came through. "Should you really be away from the Northern Base?" Calibur asked when he saw Sophia. "Who are you?" Sophia asked. "I'm sure you're aware of what'll happen if the barrier around the Base weakens." Calibur said to her as he walked closer to her. He the took his sword was about to strike down Sophia, but then Terra came in and blocked Calibur's attack. Calibur knock Terra's block away and punched Terra a few feet away. "Buster!" Sophia went to help Terra. When they looked to where Calibur was, he was gone. Sophia had a bad feeling about all this. The Story Continues > Volume 1, chapter 10: United swords, and crossing emotions > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to Wonder World inside Tassel's house. Tassel looks to you and smiles. "Bonne lecture!" He said. "For those of you who don't know me, my name is Tassel." Suddenly, the room went black and Tassel had a frown as he hold up a book. "The power of the Wonder Combos..." Tassel said in a serious tone as he opened the book and we see what happened in the last chapter. "They're growing stronger at a much faster pace than I expected." Tassel said, still in the serious tone. We see Saber transformed into his Crimson Dragon combo and attack Calibur. We even see Beat, Rarity, and Velvet transformed into their rider forms. "But their side effects are truly worrying." We then see the riders fight Calibur. "I haven't even mentioned how strong the sword of darkness is." We see Calibur use said sword to asorbed Blades and Espada's attacks. Tassel then closed the book and looked to you. "See, it's one of the first two Sacred Swords that were forged." Tassel told you as a book from the bookshelf fly out and open on its own. We are then pulled into the new chapter. We open to the Northern Base, where we see Spike still wondering who the woman is. Sophia returned, more confused than ever. "Calibur..." Sophia said to herself. She remembered when Saber and Calibur clashed blades and energy flow out from both swords. "This Sacred Sword is not yours to wield!" Calibur told Saber. Ever since that, Sophia kept on wondering who Calibur really is. "Who exactly are you...?" Sophia asked. More questions flow through her head. Like, why is Calibur after Rekka? Why did Rekka react when Calibur grabbed it? And most important, what happened to Rekka's original wilder? Meanwhile in the Megid lar. The three Alter Books and the Jaaku Dragon book with the two Wonder Ride Books Calibur stole had energy flow out of them while the hand written device had dark aura flow out of it, like the the Alter Books. But the the device stopped like it was all it could write. "This won't be enough." Storious told Calibur, who was out of his rider form. "We require an absolute overwhelming power." "Don't worry." Calibur said. He then took back his Jaaku Dragon book, along with the two other books and walked out. "Go wild out there." Storious said as he hold out a blank white book. "Can I really?" Asked the Ahiru Megid that escaped while the riders destroyed the others. He the took the white book from Storious. "Q-Q-Quack! I will be reborn!" The Ahiru Megid said as he hold the book. Meanwhile in the book shop. Velvet was there with her son, daughter, daughter in law, and grand daughter. There Velvet told Twilight that she was once a Rider Paladin a long time ago. And Twilight's family was not the only ones there. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo was there as well. Rarity was in her rider form, Aqua and looked in a mirror. "I must say, the armor looks absolutely marvelous.~" Aqua said as she looked herself over. "Ms. Bell, please. You Paladin Rider form is meant for combat." Surge said. Aqua understand, so she detranformed back to Rarity. "Sorry about that, Surge." Rarity said. "It's the first time I'm ever use this." She hold her Aqua Paladin Ride Book. "I know how you feel, Rarity." Velvet said as she hold her Ember Paladin Ride Book. "When I first became a Ember Paladin, it was amazing." "It was awesome for those who saw it!" Scootaloo said. "Well, I'm thankful that you saved me and all those people when we were catched by that monster." Cadence said while she is holding Flurry Heart. "We it was what we had to do, Mrs. Cadenza." Surge said. He then walked over to Beat. "And Beat, I have never seen you in that form. It was spectacular!" "Yeah but when she used that Bremen no Rock Band book, your personality had changed, Darling." Rarity said as Beat stood up. "I didn't change." Beat told the others. "But you did." Apple Bloom said. "You acted like a rock star and all that." "The young Apple is right." Surge said. "You most definitely did." "I wish I was there to see it." Sprit said as she fly around the room. "Right, Twilight?" She looked to Twilight, who looked like she was lost in her thoughts. "Calibur..." Twilight said. Both her and Flash was thinking about what Calibur told them. "What you see may not be the truth." Calibur told them. "What did Calibur meant when he said that?" Flash asked Twilight, who just shrugged. "Hey." Flash looked at Surge and Velvet. "Do you know why he betrayed the guild?" "No, sorry but I don't know why." Velvet answered. "I'm afraid no one knows." Surge said. "Though I've heard of his excellency as a swordsman." "Interesting..." Twilight said when she heard Surge said that. "Don't forget. He also got away with your Wonder Ride Books..." Velvet reminded them. "We've failed miserably as swordsmen." Surge said as he was upset about that. "Well, can you just make copies of them." Sweetie Bell asked. "Afraid not." Beat told her. "We'll just have to take them back from him." "Yes, but his power of darkness..." Surge started. "It rendered our attacks ineffective." "Kurayami, the Sword of Shadows holds many secrets." Beat said. "That couldn't have been great to know like last week." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight thought about their fight against Calibur and thought of something. "Actually..." Twilight started. "I think it might be absorbing our attacks inserted." She thought back to when how Blades attack just vanished when Calibur swung his sword. "Absorbing our attacks?" Surge asked. "That might be it." Velvet said as she thought back long before her kids were born. "Every time Calibur fights the enemy, he always ends up getting stronger." "But that must mean there's a limit to how much it can absorb." Flash theorize as he remembers how Calibur pulled in the Ahiru Megid when he and the two Embers launched a power flame wave at him. "That's why he chose to escape." "I was thinking the same thing, Flash." Twilight said before she looked to Arabia. "What do you think, Arabia?" Everyone looked at Arabia and she wasn't paying attention to what they were talking about. She was thinking about her Uncle Sombra and wonder something. "Why is Uncle Sombra..." Arabia asked herself. "...so fixated on Flash?" "Arabia?" Twilight try to get her attention. She stopped thinking and looked at the others. "Oh, yeah?" Arabia asked the others. Twilight and the others were wondering what has her so distracted. Just then, the Book Gate open and Spike came through. Spike saw Velvet, Shining Armor, and Cadence here, along with the CMCs. "Uh who's that?" Shinning asked. "Oh uh, that's Spike." Twilight told her family. "You see, I wanted to find something in the Northern Base books and he found a book that turned him human." Shining and Cadence were shocked and surprise that that's Spike the dog. Velvet was a little surprised because she knew about that book. "That explains why we haven't seen Spike for a while." Cadence said. "Hey, uh great to see you three here." Spike said. "Oh and I see that Arabia is here. Good, because someone wants to talk to with you." "Who?" Arabia asked. Just then, the woman that came to the Northern Base walked in. Arabia and the woman went to a rooftop somewhere in the city to talk in private. "Mind explaining who you are?" Arabia asked the woman. "I am from the Southern Base." The woman told Arabia. "I hope you understand that we are quite concerned over the current situation." "What do you want from me?" Arabia asked. "You can't stop Calibur as you are right now." The woman told Arabia. "I'd say Saber's the only one who can. Along with his new Paladin." "What?!" Arabia asked as if the woman thought that she is weak. "As you are right now." The woman repeated. She the reached into her pocket and pulled out a yellow Wounder Ride Book. "That's why I'm giving you this." She said as she hold it out to Arabia. Arabia walked up to the woman and saw the book. "Why me?" She asked. "It just goes to show how important you are in this fight." The woman answered Arabia. Arabia later returned back to the book shop where the CMCs were checking out Spike. "Welcome back, Arabia!" Pinkie Pie said. "How was it?" She asked. "She wanted to give me this..." Arabia said as she hold up the book the woman gave her, the Tri Cerberus book. "Apparently she's from the Southern Base." She told the others as Beat took the book from Arabia. "Southern Base...?!" Velvet asked in surprise to hear that part. "Southern Base...?" Spike and the CMCs asked. "Why are there bases in the north and south?" Sprit asked. "The Sword of Logos has two bases of operations for keeping the balance of the world." Surge explained. "One is our Northern Base, while the other is the Southern Base." "Does that mean the Southern Base have swordsmen too?" Flash asked. "Indeed, they're fighting out there just like us." Surge answered. "Then why did she give this to Arabia?" Apple Bloom asked as looked at the book before Arabia took it back. "Who knows?" Arabia asked. She then looked at Pinkie Pie and took out her sword and tapped her shoulders. A yellow Wounder Paladin Ride Book appeared in Pinkie's driver. She then turned to Flash who was looking at her. "What?" She asked. "Something's up with you." Flas told Arabia. The others would agree with Flash, because Arabia was being distracted sometime. "I told you, it's nothing." Arabia said. "I also think you're acting strange." Surge said as he walked over to her. "You quickly made Ms. Pie your Paladin without thinking." "You didn't even listen to what we were all talking about earlier." Sprit said when she fly infront of Arabia. "Even the two of you, Surge, Sprit...?" Arabia asked. "You're my friend, Arabia." Sprit said. "And I think of you as an important ally." Surge said. "One who is absolutely necessary for the coming battles." "You know..." Twilight spoke up. "I think I lost some memories when I was younger. But my forgotten memories sometimes resurface after a battle you guys have agents the Megid." Both Shinning and Velvet heard that and they knew that she will remember everything soon. "There was one that came back recently." She told them. "It was me as little girl, reading a book with Sprit that was younger too and with two other girls." Twilight said. "In fact, it was the same book you return to me." Arabia knew what this meant, so did Velvet. "I feel like if I keep fighting, my memories will return. As long as I'm with you guys..." She looked at Flash and her friends. "With my friends..." Arabia didn't know what to say. She thought back to that day. When Star was being sucked into the vortex and she called out Twilight's name as she was sucked into the vortex. And she thought about Calibur, who was her Uncle Sombra. She then looked at Velvet, Shining, and back to Twilight. "I'm sorry..." Arabia said before she left the book shop. "Arabia..." Twilight felt sorry but confused why she said sorry. "All right, let's try this." The Ahiru Megid was somewhere in the city. He took out the blank book and open the cover. "Flip." The book glowed and that part of the city disappeared. "H-Holy quakers!" He said as the giant book made the part of the city disappeared. "Wait, everyone can see?" He noticed people were running away from him, so he turned invisible. On top of a rooftop. Arabia was alone and thinking about what to do. Calibur is her Uncle Sombra and if Twilight remembers that. She didn't even want to think about what Twilight will say. She then remember the way her uncle brushed her hair back, before he betrayed the guild. She then brushed her hair back the same way. "Hey!" Pinkie Pie shouted, making Arabia jumped. "Why do you look like some heroin in a tragedy?" She asked. "You really shouldn't be so sad! You have friends to talk to you know!" "Look, I may have made you as my Paladin. But this has nothing to do with you." Arabia told Pinkie. "Oh, you bet it does!" Pinkie argued. "We're friends, so the least I can do is hear you out." Just then Twilight, Flash, and the others walked in. Twilight was the first to walked up to Arabia. "If you don't want to talk about it, I won't make you." Twilight said. "But just remember that we're always here for you. We made a promise, right?" She asked. Arabia looked to her two old friends and new friends and felt that Twilight is right. "I've always thought that I needed to defeat Calibur." Arabia said. "That it was my responsibility." Twilight, Flash, and the girls didn't know why, but Surge does. "But now..." She looked to her friends. "I have all of you." She said with a smile. "It's made me feel better." "Hey, what are friends for?" Sunset asked. "We always have one another. Remember that." "Then let's make a promise." Twilight suggested. "What kind of promise?" Surge asked. "That all of us will trust and help each other." Twilight answered. "Both as comrades, and as friends. We will write our own story." Everyone agreed with her. Twilight then looked towards Arabia. "And Arabia, that story will also include your troubles." Twilight then looked towards Flash and nodded. Flash the pulled out his sword just as Twilight pulled out her sword and did a sword in. "Our story? I like the sound of that." Surge said as he walked up join in with his sword. "You can always count on me to be there for my friends." Rarity said as she join her sword with the others. "It's lucky that they gave us these to practice when one of us gets chosen." Sunset said as she, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack pulled out swords without the stones in them. They each place their swords with the others. "Well, what do you say Arabia?" Pinkie asked as she pulled out her sword that has a yellow stone in it and join the others. Arabia looked to the others who are waiting. "Our story..." Arabia said as she looked at the sword in. "Makes sense. It's a promise." She said as she join sword with the others. Spike picked up a stick and joined the others, as did Sprit and the CMCs. They laughed when they did that. Just then, the book in the bag Twilight gave Spike made a sound. When Spike checked, the book that Sophia let him keep glowed. "The book's reacting!" Spike said as he hold up the book. He opened the book and it showed them people running away from something in Wounder World. "Looks like there's an anomaly." "Apple Bloom, you and your friends head home." Applejack told her little sister. The CMCs would argue but after what they went through last time, they understand why. "Only if you come home when you beat that monster." Apple Bloom asked. Applejack nodded and the CMCs went home. "Let's go defeat Calibur for real this time." Flash said. The others agree as they headed to Wonder World. Within Wonder World. People were running away from the Ahiru Megid as he laughed. "C'mon, guys! Make some noise!" He shouted at the people. "Keep it going, will ya?" He then saw the riders come in. Sunset, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack were get the people to safety, while Flash, Twilight, Surge, Rarity, Arabia, and Pinkie Pie stayed to face the Megid. "The same duck again?" Flash asked when he saw the Ahiru Megid. "One remained, I see." Surge said. "Well this should be fun." Rarity said sarcastically. "Oh hey, it's you guys." The Ahiru Megid said. "Come check out my new form!" Dark wings sprout out and the Ahiru Megid transform into something else. Awaken, Story Megid of the Veiled Bird The Ahiru Megid transform into a Hakucho Megid. "Yeah." The Hakucho Megid said as he was impressed by his new look. The riders were perpar to face the Megid in his new look. "Obtaining all my siblings' power has made me untouchable!" The Hakucho Megid bragged. Flash, Surge, and Arabia readys their Sword Drivers while Twilight, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie ready their Wounder Paladin books. "Me, my girlfriend, and my friends..." Flash started. "We determine how this story ends!" The riders put on their drivers while their Paladins place their books in their drivers. Then each pulled out their Wounder Ride Books and opened the covers to reveal the stories with in. Brave Dragon Lion Senki Lamp do Alangina "Here I come." The Hakucho Megid said as spun around and slashed his claws at them. Each rider place the book in their driver and pulled out their swords. And their Paladins press the button on their drivers to open each of their books. Unsheathe the Flame! Unsheathe the Current! Unsheathe the Lightning! Paladin,Stand! "Henshin!" Each rider said as the they slash their swords and transformed into Kamen Rider Saber, Blades, and Espada that protect them from the attack. And three books behind Twilight, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie open up and fire, water, and lightning came and transformed the girls. ~Brave Dragon! ~Lion Senki! ~Lamp do Alangina! ~Wonder Paladin! Pinkie's armor has a book chest plate with Espada's symbol on it. Her bottom part was yellow and white, while her arms are white with yellow lightning bolts going down. Her helmet is similar to Espada but without the sword on top. The riders ready their swords and charged at the Hakucho Megid. Their fight went into a warehouse. Saber and Ember took a slash at the Hakucho Megid, but it dodged their attacks. While Espada and Pinkie jump and strike at the Hakucho Megid. Then Blades and Aqua thrust their swords forward at him. When Saber jumped in, the Hakucho Megid slashed his claws and struck him. Ember and Aqua try to get him, but the Hakucho Megid blocked both and struck back. Blades and Pinkie Pie try strike him, but the Hakucho Megid blocked Pinkie and slashed Blades. It was just as the Hakucho Megid said, he's stronger than before. But the riders were not giving up that easy. Espada and Pinkie kick the Megid back after the Hakucho Megid strike Saber. Blades and Aqua slashed their swords while the Hakucho Megid gard was down. As did Espada and Pinkie Pie after Blades and Aqua. But then Hakucho Megid knocked both Espada and Pinkie back with a strike at them. Saber and Ember jumped from where they were and slashed their swords at the Megid. But the Hakucho dodged their attacks and when the other four jumped in, he knocked them back with kicks. Blades, Espada, Aqua, and Pinkie crash in to some things in the warehouse after those hits. Just when Saber and Ember striking the Hakucho Megid, Calibur showed up. Saber turned and saw him just as Calibur struck him. "Calibur...!" Blades said as the others ran and stand by Saber's side. "We're taking back our Wonder Ride Books." "Can you though?" Calibur asked. Just then, Espada ran pass Saber and at Calibur. "Arabia!" Ember called out. Saber, Ember, Blades, Aqua, and Pinkie stayed behind to fight the Megid. Espada slashed her sword at Calibur, but keep missing. Lucky Beat and Velvet run in just in time. "I'll deal with the Megid!" Beat shouted. "He's all yours!" Saber shouted to her. Then Saber and the others went go help Espada. Velvet ran to fight Calibur too. She pulled out her Paladin Ride Book and transformed into her golden Ember form. Beat stayed behind and took out her Hanselnuts to Gretel book and open the cover. Hanselnuts to Gretel Just as Hakucho Megid left Blades, he charged at Beat and try to get her. But she dodged each of his attacks. A strange, yet sweet tale of adventure occurs when a pair of siblings wander in a forest. After she dogged his attacks, she pulled out her sword and placed her book in the sword. She then pulled the trigger and the book open up. Hanselnuts to Gretel She slash her sword just as the Hakucho Megid charged at her. "Henshin!" Beat shouted as she thrust her sword forward that pushed the Megid back and transformed into Kamen Rider Slash. Jam With the Bayonet! ~Go! Go with the gun! I'd rather go with the sword! Suzune, the Sword of Echoes! Slash charged at the Hakucho Megid and strike him a few times. The Megid try to get her, but Slash dodged each of his attacks. She then blocked one of his attacks and then slashed him with her sword. Blades jumped in and try to strike the Hakucho Megid, but the Megid blocked his attack. With Saber and the others. Saber and Calibur clashed blades, but then Calibur kicked him back. Ember and Aqua swing their swords at him just as Calibur blocked them with his sword. Calibur slash both Saber and Pinkie just as they try to get him. Both Espada and G.Ember clashed their swords with Calibur's. They both dodged his attacks just as Saber and Ember clashed their swords with Calibur's when they charged him. "What's wrong? You've gotten slower!" Calibur mocked Saber as he overwhelmed both him and Ember. G.Ember and Aqua try to strike Calibur from the back, but he kicked Aqua back and blocked G.Ember's attack. Pinkie and Espada try to jump him, but Calibur spun out of the way. Espada and Calibur clashed blades as she step forward and he step back. "This ends now!" Saber said as he pulled out the Storm Eagle book and place it on the tip of his sword. Eagle hmm, hmm... After Calibur strike Espada down, he turned and send a slash wave at Saber. Saber jumped out of the way of the attack as his sword is on fire. Learning Flash! Saber slashed his swords and a fire tornado was sent right at Calibur. Calibur used his sword and absorbed the flamnado. "Looks like you and Flash were right, Twilight!" Aqua said when they saw what happened. "Yeah, he really is absorbing our attacks!" Ember said. "Then let's kick it up!" Saber said as he put his sword back in the driver and pulled out the Saiyuu Journey book. "This'll do the trick!" He said as open the cover. Saiyuu Journey After he closed the book, he place it in the third slot on his driver. He then pulled out his sword and the two books open up. Saber then transformed into a new form. Unsheathe the Flame! It's the miraculous Saiyuu Dragon! Rekka: Volume Two. The burning blade dances around as a cheerful monkey joins in on the fun! With Saber's new form, he flipped in and both him and Calibur clashed blades. Saber seems much faster than he was before. Saber was able to dodged Calibur's attack as he cartwheel out of the way.Saber then push the cover of the Saiyuu Journey book. Saiyuu Journey Saber was now riding on a red cloud and he ride it quickly as he slashed his sword at Calibur. Saber rider around on the cloud as he slashed Calibur again. Saber turned and fly right at Calibur again, but this time Calibur strike Saber before he could. With Blades and Slash. The Hakucho Megid fly towards them and double kicked them back. Blades saw what was happening with the fight with Calibur. "He must still be affected by his Wonder Combo usage." Blades said. "I see..." Slash said as she saw it too. Slash then took out her Hanselnuts to Gretel book and open the Bremen no Rock Band book. Bremen no Rock Band She then switch her sword to its gun mode. Gunsemble Then she place the book in the sword and pulled the trigger that opened the book. Bremen no Rock Band. The Hakucho Megid charged at her and try to strike. But Slash use her sword to blast him back. Jam With the Bayonet! Go with the sword! No! No! Go! Go with the gun and bang! Bang! Suzune, the Sword of Echoes! "Oh yeah! Fire!" Slash's personality change again. Slash keeps blasting the Hakucho Megid back. She cheered as she firing at the Megid. "I've got this taken care of, so get goin' already!" Slash told Blades. "Right!" Blades said as he took out his Peter Fantasista book. Peter Fantasista. Unsheathe the Current! Behold, the shining Lion Fantasista! After Blades transformed into his Lion Fantasista form, he shot a chain that separate Calibur from the others. He whip his chain at Calibur, just to try and get a hit. Calibur knock the chain away when it came right at him. Blades shot the chain at Calibur again and that time it pushed him back. The others joined Blades's side, ready to charge at Calibur. Just as the riders charged at Calibur, he took out his Jaaku Dragon book. Jaaku Dragon Calibur swung his sword just as Espada and Pinkie slashed their swords. Blades and Aqua try to kick him, but Calibur duck and placed his book on the sliver symbol on his sword three times. Final Lead! Final Lead! Final Lead! Jaaku Dragon! Calibur dodged Saber's attack, then kicked back Ember. Then he place his book back on his belt, just as G.Ember clashed her sword with his. He kicked her back as he pressed the button on the handle of his sword just as he jumped in the air. Kurayami: Ending Strike! Triple Learning Flash! While in the air, Calibur slash his sword and a big slash wave was send right at the riders that hit them and cause an explosion. "Is that all you've got?" Calibur asked after he landed on the ground. "We can't just attack him sporadically!" Ember said as she and the others slowly got up from the ground. "We have to get back the Ride Books he took first!" Each rider agreed with her. From out side, the woman from the Southern Base looked through a window and watch them. "Let's see what you can do, then." The woman said as she watched them. Each rider swing their swords at Calibur as he blocked and/or dodged their attacks. Blades and Aqua were hit after they try to strike Calibur. Espada and Pinkie got slashed after they try to get Calibur. Saber stood up and brought out the Storm Eagle book. Stom Eagle Saber then placed the book in the last slot in his driver and pulled out his sword. As he pulled out the sword, all three books open up and he transformed into his Crimson Dragon Wonder Combo. Unsheathe the Flame! ~The Mythical Beast passed down through the ages answers by the name of... Crimson Dragon! Saber and the two Embers then charged at Calibur, just as Calibur pushed back on Blades, Aqua, Espada and Pinkie. "You can't defeat me as you are now!"

The three were sent flying and crashed down on ground. "Now!" Saber shouted. Espada then took out the book the woman gave her and place it on the tip of her sword. Cerberus. Hmm, hmm... Learning Flash! Espada then slashed her sword and a three headed dog made out of lightning was sent right at Calibur. The attack landed and the Tenkuu no Pegasus was sent flying over Blades.

The two the swung their swords as they glowed and slashed Calibur. Espada pushed back on the cover of her Lamp do Alangina book. Lamp do Alangina From her shoulder, a djinn fly out and grab Calibur. "W-What in the...?!" Calibur asked as Pinkie charged in and slashed her sword as the djinn lift him up. The electricity made Calibur drop the Needle Hedgehog book. Aqua cauth the book as it fell. "Arabia!" She called out as she threw the book to her. "Got it!" Espada said as she took the book. "Time for a nine time combo!" Pinkie cheered. "Here we go!" Saber shouted as he stand up. Espada then open the Needle Hedgehog book. Needle Hedgehog After Espada place the book in her driver, she took out the Tri Cerberus book and open the cover to reveal the story within.

Shinny!" Pinkie Pie said as she and the others join her side. The woman from the Southern Base saw Espada's new form and was surprised, yet impressed that they got back the Ride Books Calibur took. "We're talking you down this time!" G.Ember said as she and the others ready their swords. Then they all charged at Calibur. Saber and the two Embers charged at Calibur at high speed and slashed at him. Both Blades and Aqua charged in and strike at Calibur after Saber and the two Embers. The Espada and Pinkie Pie strike Calibur back. Saber and the two Embers jumped up and kicked Calibur in the chest, that made him step back.

Calibur was sent flying and crashed into some stuff. Back with Slash. She rolled on the ground and fire at the Hakucho Megid. "Yeah!" She shouted as she blast him. "Come on!" She shouted as she blast him again. The Hakucho Megid was taking to much damage. "Right now!" Slash shouted as she switch her sword back to its blade mode.

Slash called out her finisher as she charged at the Hakucho Megid. "Come on, Slash!" Slash shouted as she strike him multiple times. "My sword echoes like no other!" Slash shouted after she struck the Hakucho Megid one last time and he exploded. "Love you, baby!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, like she was in a rock consernt. Calibur stood back up from those kicks. "Come on!" Saber said to the others. "We determine how this story ends!" They all said as they ready their finishers. Final Page! Final Page! Final Page! Unsheathe the Flame! Unsheathe the Lightning! Unsheathe the Current! As they yanked out their swords, they all called out each their finisher. "Bursting Crimson Slash!" Saber and the two Embers called out. "Hydro Vortex!" Blades and Aqua called out their finisher. "Trueno del Sol!" Espada and Pinkie called out their finisher. Dragon, Eagle, J to the West!

Each rider charged at Calibur and strike him as he blocked each attack with his sword. He try his best to asorbed each of their attacks, but it was too much. Back in the Megid lar, the three Alter Books and hand written device aura was even darker. Then the all four book was covered in shadows and combined into a Wonder Ride Book. Jaou Dragon Back at the warehouse. Storious walked in to see Calibur hold back the riders. Storious then transformed into his Megid form. "That should be more than enough." Storious said as he blast the riders, even Calibur. Calibur was sent flying and crashed down to the ground. Then in front of Ember, landed Sunset's geo and Jaaku Dragon book. Ember saw them and quickly grabbed them. Each rider saw Storious after they recovered from the blast. Storious chuckled as he walked away. "That was..." Blades said when he saw him. "Guys, look." Ember said as she detranformed back to Twilight and show the Jaaku Dragon book. She then struggle to stand up, but was able to thanks to Sprit, who watched them fight from a safe place and looked to where Calibur crashed. "It's over, Calibur!" She shouted to where Calibur is. From the flames, someone struggle to stand up but was walking towards the riders. They could barely see the man from where they are. But as the man got closer, they saw who is the Swordsman of Darkness. Saber, Aqua, and Pinkie didn't know who he is, but Twilight, her mother, Sprit, and Espada dose. The man that wield the Sword of Shadows was not Sumbra. The man had night blue skin with dark blue hair and yellow eyes. G.Ember detranformed back to Velvet and her eyes shrunk by the man she is looking at. It was the father of Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor. And husband of Twilight Velvet, Night Light. "D-Dad?" Twilight asked with shock in her voice. "Night Light?" Velvet asked with pain in her voice. "Mr. Night?!" Slash and Sprit asked when they saw him. The other riders detranformed just when the girls came in to help them up. Night Light walked up to Twilight and grab hold of the Jaaku Dragon book and try to take it back. "Let go of the book, Twilight." Night Light told his daughter in a dark tone. She wouldn't let go of the book. She just hold it tighter. "You really are him..." Twilight said as she remembers her dreams. "You're the one who saved me, Shining, and mom. But, why are...?" She struggled to hold on to the book as her dad try to take it back. "Give me the book, now." Night Light demanded as he sounded mad. Back at the Northern Base. Spike, the CMCs, Shining Armor, Cadence and Sophia watch all that had happened and was shocked and confused. "Calibur is the previous Saber, Night Light? But why...?" Sophia asked when she saw him in the three books. Spike and the girls were even more shocked to hear that Twilight's dad was Saber before Flash. Shinning was shocked to see his own father as Calibur. "Night, why are you Calibur?" Velvet asked. "That's what I want to know too." Arabia said as she looked both upset and confused. But Night Light didn't answer as he try take back the book from Twilight's hand. "What did you do to my Uncle Sumbra?!" She shouted. "Uncle...?!" Flash asked when he heard Arabia say that. "Explain yourself!" Arabia demand. "I said you would understand one day." Night answered Arabia. He the stabbed the ground with the sword and back hand Twilight in the face, causing her to let go of the book. Both Twilight and her mother was hrut by his action. "Did you frame my uncle for betraying us?!" Arabia asked, sounding angry. "Your uncle most certainly betrayed you." Night told Arabia. "Then why are you wielding the Sword of Shadows, Night?!" Velvet asked with so much pain and confusion in her voice. Night Light picked up the sword from the ground and hold it tight. "Please, answer us..." Velvet begged. Arabia had enough, so she opened her Lamp do Alangina book. Lamp do Alangina "Did you kill my uncle?!" Arabia asked as she closed the book and place it in her driver, then pulled out her sword and transformed into Espada as she charged at Night Light. Unsheathe the Lightning! Night Light quickly open the book in his hand to reveal the story within. Jaaku Dragon: There once was a single mythical beast who birthed the darkness that enveloped the world. Night then closed the book and scanned it with his sword. Dark Lead He then placed the book in his Calibur Driver. He then pressed the button on top of the driver with his sword. "Henshin!" Night Light shouted as he slashed the sword and transformed back to Kamen Rider Calibur. Kurayami, the Sword of Shadows! ~Get go under conquer than get keen! Jaaku Dragon! Espada charged at Calibur and swung her sword at him. Calibur blocked her attack with his sword and slashed her down. Espada detranformed back to Arabia from that attack as she hit the ground. She began to cry as the others went to help her up. "Arabia!" Both Twilight and Sprit said with concerned for their friend. Velvet looked at Calibur, who is her husband to who she thought she lost so long ago. Or maybe she had, because that man is not the one she once knew and loved. Calibur turned and walked away from them. From outside, the woman from the Southern Base saw the hole thing happened. The others helped up Arabia and so many questions were being asked in their heads. "You both gotta tell me what's going on, mom, Arabia." Twilight said, looking at the two. "Please..." Nether of them had an answer for her. "Tell me!" Twilight demanded as she cried. She then got a flashback at that moment. It was the same as before. With her and Sprit as young little girls with two others. The other little girl sat next to Twilight under the tree as a young Arabia ran over to them. All four of them looked over the pop-up book while they sat together. When the flashback end, Twilight remember almost everything. Arabia smacked Twilight's hand away when Twilight try to reach her shoulder. With an angry look, Arabia walked away from them. "Arabia!" Both Flash and Surge called out but Arabia just kept walking. No top of a rooftop somewhere. Arabia sat alone and was thinking about what she found out. But it just left her with more questions than answers. Like what is she going to do? Why does her best friend's dad have the Sword of Shadows? And more importantly, what happened to her uncle? Back in the Megid lar. Night Light picked up the Jaou Dragon book. "That is the power you wished for." Storious told Night Light. "However, whether or not a human can master it remains to be seen." Storious warned him Night Light looked at the book and felt like he can prove Storious wrong. In Tassel's house "Things are certainly ramping up!" Tassel said to you. "What will happen to Arabia?! Not to mention..." He sounds really concerned. Then the room went dark again. "It's about time I met a certain somebody." Tassel said as he adjust his glasses. The Story Continue > Volume 1, Chapter 11: The storming Thunder, and the spreading of dar clouds. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open in Tassel's house, where we see him talking to someone on the phone. "Yes, most definitely!" He said to who ever he's talking to. "But then theres this, and then there's that..." He said as he sat down. "So--" Before he could finish his sentence, he sees you and quickly got into character. "Bonne lecture, my friends!" He said to you. "For those of you who don't know me, my name is Tassel. I'm currently extremely surprised!" He said as he opened a book on the table next to him. We then see what happened in the last chapter. "The traitorous Calibur's true identity wasn't Arabia's uncle, but rather, it was the previous Swordsman of Fire, father of Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor, and husband to Twilight Velvet, Night Light." Tassel explained as we see Twilight, Shining, and Velvet with shocked looks as they see Night Light as Calibur. We also see Arabia very upset about the news they just learned. "The wheels of fate are spinning out of control!" Tassel said as he closed the book and looks to you. He was so upset, he accidentally hanged up the phone. "Whoops, I hung up." He said when he saw what he did. Then a book from the bookshelf fly out on its own and opens. We then get pulled in to the next chapter. On a rooftop somewhere. We see Arabia looking over the city as she brushed her hair back. The way her uncle used to. She remembered back to where she was younger and her Uncle Sombra was with the Sword of Logos. Her father was next to his brother and around her father's neck was a necklace with a crescent moon pendant on it. When she stopped remembering, she pulled out the same necklace around her neck. "Dad, please tell me..." Arabia said as she looked at the pendant. "What happened?" She asked. Ever since they found out the Calibur was really Night Light inseted of her uncle, she is more confused than ever. "Arabia." Twilight said as she walked up next to her. "I knew you'd be here." Sprit fly out from Twilight's pocket and sat on Twilight's sholder. "Some way to find out that your dad is still alive, right?" Sprit asked. Both Twilight and Arabia looked at her. "Too soon?" "Twilight..." Arabia said. But three stay quiet after she talked, like they didn't know what to say. It was an awkward silence. Then Twilight decided to speak. "I remembered a bit of what happened." Twilight told Arabia as she pulled out her Paladin Ride Book. "My dad saved me, my brother, and my mom 12 years ago." She told Arabia as she remembers her dad wield the Sword of Fire and fight some Megid and Calibur. "Thats right, Night knows everything. I'll get him to tell me everything I need." Arabia thought. "I want to remember more of my past." Twilight said. "Surely I'll--" "Do you ever wonder..." Arabia cut off her what Twilight was going to say. "...if ignorance is bliss?" She before she walked away. "What was that about?" Sprit asked. "Arabia..." Twilight said as she is worried about her friend. Back at the book shop. Shining Armor told the group in the room that Night Light was once was Saber before Flash. "So your dad used to wield Rekka?" Flash asked as he looked at his sword. "Wow. But if your dad was Saber before me, how did it came to me?" "I wish I knew." Shining said. "Last I saw him, he save me, Twily, and my mom. So I'm not sure what happened to him after that." Shining had a very confused look on his face. "Well, Arabia didn't look to happy when she found out." Pinkie Pie said. "Maybe after Twilight is done talking with her, Arabia's Paladin Rider Spark well help her out." ""Spark"?" Rainbow asked. "It's catchy, where did you came up with that?" "Two people in the comments of this fanfic came up with it." Pinkie Pie said, confusing everyone in the room. "Anyway, how is your mom doing?" Sunset asked. "She's still try to compose her self after what she saw." Shining said. He then took out a Paladin Driver. "I ask Sophia to give this. Flash, I need you to make me your new Paladin. Make me a Drako." Flash didn't know what a "Drako" is, but he did what Shining asked and tap Shining's shoulders with his sword and a Paladin Ride Book appeared in his driver. "Shining, promise me that you will come home. I don't want to raise our daughter alone." Cadence said just when Twilight came in. "Hey Sugercube, how the talk with Arabia go?" Applejack asked. "She's still upset." Twilight told them. "Before she left, she asked me if ignorance is bliss." "Arabia must be having a tougher time than ever." Rarity said. "If I were in her shoes, I wouldn't be able to handle it." "Hey, Arabia is tough." Sprit said. "I'm sure she will be fine." "I'm with Sprit." Twilight said. "I believe in her." "I'm just wondering what made your dad become such a jerk." Spike said. "No offense." "It's fine Spike." Cadence told him. She then looked at Twilight and saw she had a sad look on her face. "Twilight, what's with the long face?" She asked. Twilight didn't answer, she kept quiet. "Twilight, if something is bothering you then you have to tell us." Flash said after he walked up to her. "Yeah, if you're gonna say something like, "I believe in her." Then you gotta look the part!" Sprit said. "Sprit's right." Sunset agreed. "We all made a promise together, right?" Twilight looked at all her friends, then to her brother and Cadence, then to Flash. And Sunset is right, they did made a promise. "Right. We made a promise." Twilight said as she thought what she is going to say. In the Megid lar. "The Swordswoman of Sound has appeared," Storious told Zooous and Night Light. "And the six swordsmen have gathered. And three of them have Paladins." "So it's finally time, then" Zooous said walked over to Storious. "Legeiel has already begun preparations." Storious told Zooous. "His pride must have been quite hurt by his prior defeat." Somewhere in the city, on a rooftop. Legeiel looked out to the city with a frown on his face. "Now..." He said after he turned around and six Megid appeared infront of him. The Goblin Megid. Itazura Goblins "The time has come to obtain the Wonder World's great power!" Legeiel said as he pointed to the city behind him. The Goblins cheered at that plan. They then charged out into the city, ready to cause trouble. In the Northern Base. Flash and the others came threw the Book Gate. "Leave me alone!" Arabia shouted at Surge. "I will not!" Surge told Arabia as he stepped infront of her. "Eek! We walked right into a fight!" Fluttershy said as she hide behind Applejack. "I understand your desire to learn the truth." Surge said to Arabia. "However you're being too irrational right now. Suppress your feelings and fulfill your mission as a swordswoman of the guild." "I may be a swordswoman, but I'm also human first and foremost!" Arabia argued. "As a swordswoman--" "Will you two just stop?!" Beat shouted, interrupting Surge. "I..." Beat said as she walked over to the two. But she just walked out, passing the group infront of the Book Gate. "I hate fights!" She said to herself as she left. Fluttershy hear her say that and felt sorry for her. "Umm, I'm going to see if she's okay." Fluttershy said as she followed Beat. The room was nothing but in a awkward silence. "If you won't adhere to the guild, then you are no swordswoman." Surge break the silence and told Arabia. "Return your Sacred Sword at once." He ordered her. "I will return my Sacred Sword..." Arabia said. "...once this is all over." She said before she walked away. "W-Wait just a moment!" Surge shouted as he went after her. "Talk about bad timing." Sprit said. Just then the book Spike has went off and he checked it. "We got an anomaly!" Spike said as he hold up the book. In the city. A Goblin Megid land in a public place and opened a blank white book. Another Goblin Megid was in a park and opened his blank white book up. Each Goblin Megid was in a different part of the city and opened their blank white books, causing six different parts of the city to dissaperd to Wonder World. "It looks like a lot of places are disappearing!" Spike told them as he showed them what was happening in the book. "We'll go check it out." Flash said. Then Flash and the group headed out. "We'll come too!" Apple Bloom said as Spike puts away the book. "Little ones, I would like to entrust something to you five." Sophia said to Spike, Cadence, and the CMCs before they followed the others. Sophia hold out her hand to them and in it was a golden key. "A key...?" Scootaloo asked as Spike took the key. "It is very important." Sophia told them. "Please watch over this place, will you?" She asked them before she walked out. The five were confused as to why Sophia wanted them to watch this place. Before they could ask her, she was already out. "What just happened?" Sweetie Bell asked. Somewhere in the park. A Goblin Megid was chasing a bunch of people. A couple fell as they run and the Goblin Megid picked them up. As the Goblin Megid touch their heads, the couple turned red and went flat as paper and then blend into the ground. The Goblin clapped at his work, then went on to continue it. The Goblin Megid grabbed a man that fell to the ground and did the samething he did to the man. Wind came in and saw what happened. "Oh crap!" She said when she saw what the Goblin Megid did. The Goblin Megid saw and ready his staff as he charged at Wind. Wind pulled out her sword and clash with the Goblin's staff. The Goblin Megid then try to strike her with his staff, but lucky she dodged his attacks. "I'm gonna kick your butt!" Wind told the Megid as she pulled out her Wonder Ride Book and place it in her sword. Sarutobi Ninjaden "Henshin!" She shouted as she turned her one sword into two, then slashed the two swords and transformed into Kamen Rider Kenzan. Split the Twin Blades! Hayate, the Sword of Zephyrs! Kenzan charged at the Megid and slashed her swords just as the Goblin Megid swung his staff. When the Goblin Megid thrust his staff at Kenzan, she swung one of her swords down. The Goblin Megid blocked each of her attacks with his staff. In a different part of the city. Terra arrived to find a piece of the city disappeared. A book appeared infront to Wonder World. "Not so fast." A familiar voice stopped him from going through. He turned and saw who it was that stop him. It was Desast, who had his back to Terra "You again?" Terra asked when he saw Desast here. "I don't have time for games. Get lost." He told Desast. "Don't be like that." Desast said as he turned to face Terra. "We go way back, remember?" He asked as he jumped at Terra with sword in hand. Terra quickly blocked Desast's attack with his sword just in time. "Guess I have no choice!" Terra said as he pushed Desast's sword back and slashed at him. Desast however, jumped out of the way. Terra than took out his Genbu Shinwa book and placed it in his sword. Genbu Shinwa "Henshin!" Terra said as he charged at Desast and transformed into Kamen Rider Buster. ~Grumble! Rumble! Gekido, the Sword of Tremors! Buster swung his sword down and struck Desast. He swung his sword again, but Desast ducked under the attack and dodged the second attack. Arabia was walking in a park, till she turned to see Surge behind her. She didn't say a word and just kept walking and Surge continue to follow her. She stopped again before she started to run. "H-Hey!" Surge said as he ran after her. Arabia stop and Surge ran pass her, but he stopped a few feet away. "Why are you following me?" Arabia asked Surge. "To stop you from going out of line." Surge answered her walked up to her. "Swordsmen should not let their--" "You don't know anything about me!" Arabia interrupted him. "Do you know what it feels like to know one of your family had betrayed you?!" Arabia asked him. "I do not." Surge answered her. "Because I have no parents or uncles." Arabia was surprised to hear he has no family. "The guild is all I can call home. As an orphan, they raised me since I was a child. The swordsmen are my family. That is why I swore an oath to give my life for the cause." Arabia felt sorry for him now that she knows he's an orphan. "But that's just your own story." Arabia told him. She then walked pass him and said nothing else. Before she could get far, her Gatrike Phone went off. She took it out and answered it. "Arabia Night." It was the woman from the Southern Base, calling from under a bridge. "Would you like me to tell you where Calibur is?" The is hiding behind one pillars of the bridge, where Calibur is. He was not the only one there. Sophia and Velvet was there as well. "It has been a while..." Sophia said to Calibur. "Night Light." "It has, hasn't it?" Velvet agreed with Sophia. Calibur looked at the two before he closed the Jaaku Dragon book and detransform back to Night Light. In one of the dissaperd parts of the city. A man fell to the ground before he turned red and blend into the ground. So many people were being chased by a Goblin Megid. Two among those people is a woman with light blut, pink, green, and purple hair and white skin. And another woman with light night blue skin and nighttime blue hair. These two are the principle and vic-principle of Canterlot High, Celestia and Luna. The two managed to get any away from the Goblin Megid and saw what he was doing to all those people. Luna then saw Flash and the others came in and was wondering why they are here and not running away from the monster. "This looks very bad." Rainbow Dash said. "How dare you!" Twilight shouted at the Megid. "You girls get the rest of the people to safety!" Flash said as he took out his Brave Dragon book, just as Twilight, Shining Armor, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie took out their Wounder Paladin books. Brave Dragon Wonde Paladin They each place their books in their drivers. Flash then pulled out his sword and the others pressed the buttons on their drivers to open up the books. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin, Stand! "Henshin!" They said as Flash slash his sword and the Giant versions of the Paladin books open up and they all transformed into Kamen Rider Saber, Ember, Spark, and Aqua. Shining Armor transformed to, his armor was like Ember's but it was more male. He was the Paladin Rider Drako. Flash's transformation slash hit the Goblin Megid as it charged at them. ~Brave Dragon! ~Wonder Paladin! Each rider then charged at the Goblin Megid and each one slash their swords at him. Celestia and Luna were shocked to see four of their students and Cadence's husband as Kamen Riders. Sunset saw them and rushed over to them. "Come on! You two need to get out of here!" She told them. "You do realize that you will have to explain to us about all this, right?" Celestia asked Sunset. Sunset nodded and felt like it's going to be a long explanations. Back under the bridge. Sophia started to talk to Night Light. "I did not expect you to be reborn as the Swordsman of Darkness..." Sophia said. "You must have a reason." The two waited for that reason. "Night, please tell me what happened to you?" Velvet begged. It was a few seconds of silence before Night Light spoke. "After all these years you both haven't changed a bit." Night said. "Are you saying you yourself have changed?" Sophia asked. "You were so full of pride--" "I gave up everything..." Night interrupted. "So that I could see the eternal truth." "Eternal truth...?" Velvet asked. "Night, what are you talking about?" "The reason why I sold my soul to the devil." Night said as he looked at his wife. Both Velvet and Sophia felt both sacred and worried about Night Light before they heard someone. "What are the three of you doing here?!" Arabia asked. The three saw both Arabia and Surge from where they are. "Espada!" Sophia said in total supperis to see her here. "Don't tell me you three have been secretly conspiring together?" Arabia asked as she looked at the three. "Did the guild frame my uncle?!" "That's not true!" Sophia shouted. "This is all a huge misunderstanding!" "She's right, Arabia!" Surge agreed. "The guild would never--" "That's enough out of you!" Arabia shouted at Surge. On her face was a looked that is mixed with both sadness and anger. She then looked at Night Light and felt the need for answers, so she walked over to him. She then took out her Sword Driver. "I'll know everything once I make him talk." She said as she puts her driver on. "I have nothing to say to you." Night told Arabia as he holds up his Jaaku Dragon book. Jaaku Dragon As Night Light took out his Wonder Ride Book, Arabia did the same with her's. Lamp do Alangina Arabia then placed the book in her driver and pulled out her sword. Unsheathe the Lightning! After Night Light scand the book with his sword, he place it in his Calibur Driver then hit the button with the bottom of his sword. "Henshin!" They both shouted as they slash their swords and both the Djinn and Jaaku Dragon fought before they transformed into their rider forms. ~Get go under conquer than get keen! Jaaku Dragon! ~Lamp do Alangina! Espada charged at Calibur and the two clashed blades. While the two fought, Surge ran to protect Sophia and Velvet was confused if she should help Espada or not. "Lady Sophia, Mrs. Velvet, please stand aside!" Surge told the two. Espada got struck by Calibur when he got an opening. When he slash his sword down, Espada blocked the attack with her sword. Back in Wounder World. Saber clashed his sword agenst the Goblin Megid's staff. Then both Ember and Aqua slashed their swords at him, but he ducked under both their attacks. Drako and Spark try to get him, but the Megid blocked them both before punching them back. The Goblin Megid then struck Saber with his staff. When he try to do it again, Saber blocked the attack with his sword. As each rider blocked the Goblin Megid's attack, they took steps back. "Time out, time out..." Saber called out, causing them all to stop. But then the Goblin Megid hit Saber in the stomach, he didn't fall for it. "I said time out..." Saber said as he fell to the ground. "Ooo, you play dirty." Spark said. "Are you okay?" Ember asked as she checked on Saber, who is in pain. Then Drako charged at the Megid as he brought up his to strike him. Then Goblin Megid jumped to strike Saber while he was down. Just before he could hit him, Slash and another paladin rider blocked the attack and slashed with their swords. Knocking the Goblin Megid a few feet away. This Paladin Rider's armor had Slash's symbol on the book chest plate that was black. Her shoulder pads were chceker pattern and her arms and legs had sound waves on them. And her helmet is similar to Slash but without the sword on top. "Is Flash okay?" The paladin asked in a familiar voice. "Fluttershy?" Ember, Aqua, and Spark asked when they heard the paladin's voice. "What took you so long?" Drako asked as Saber stood up. "Later. Right now, try using this to wrap things up quickly." Slash told Saber as she handed him the Bremen no Rock Band book. Bremen no Rock Band "Gotcha!" Saber said as he took the book from Slash. "The Swordswoman of Sound, huh..." Zooous said as he stood infront of the Goblin Megid. "...and you have a paladin of your own. I'll be your opponent." Each one ready their swords, then Zooous and Goblin Megid charged at them. Slash, Drako, Aqua, and Fluttershy clashed blades with Zooous, while the Goblin Megid fight Saber, Ember, Spark. Each rider dodged or blocked each of Zooous's attacks. With the fight with Espada and Calibur. Espada was knocked to the ground by Calibur. She quickly got up and charged at Calibur again. When she try to strike him, Calibur punched her in the chest and pushed her back. Each time she try to strike Calibur, he blocked the attack and counter her. After Calibur kicked her in chest, Velvet and Surge transformed into their rider forms and stand infront of Espada. "Arabia! You need to control yourself!" Blades told her. "He's right! You're letting your anger get the better of you!" G.Ember said. "Get out of my way!" Espada shouted as she pushed both of them out of the way and charged at Calibur. The two clashed blades as Calibur was being pushed back. "Answer me!" She demanded as they clashed blades. "What happened 12 years ago?!" "Ask your uncle." Calibur told Espada. He then punched her in the face. "Where is he?!" Espada asked before she charged at Calibur with her sword hield high. Calibur dodged her slash and strike her back two times that made her fell to her knees. "I cut him down." Calibur told her. Espada was shocked to hear that her uncle was really killed by him. "Why?!" Espada asked. "Such is the fate of traitors..." Calibur said as he pointed his sword at her. "Then what does that make you?!" Espada asked as she slashed her sword and pushing Calibur back. She jumped and slashed her sword and Calibur nearly dodged the attack. He then slashed his sword at her and knock her to the ground. "A seeker of the eternal truth." Calibur answered her. Espada gripped her sword tight with anger as she got back up. "Stop speaking in riddles!" Espada shouted as puts her sword back in her driver. She then took out her Needle Hedgehog and Tri Cerberus books and place them both in her driver. Needle Hedgehog Tri Cerberus After she place them in the driver, she yanked out her sword and all three books open up and she transformed into her Goldn Alangina Wonder Combo. Unsheathe the Lightning! Within the djinn of the lamp's true power! Golden Alangina! As she transformed into her Wonder Combo, her sword was building up with electricity. She then fired the blot at Calibur. Calibur was pushed back as Espada charged at him and the two clashed blades. With her Wonder Combo, she is much faster as she struck Calibur a few times. As the two clashed blades again, lightning went off from Espada's sword. "I'll do whatever I can to take you down!" She declared. She then brought her sword up and slash him, damaging him. "Arabia..." Blades said as he and G.Ember watched the two fight. ""Whatever I can", you say?" Calibur asked Espada as he pulled out his new book. The Jaou Dragon book. He then remember what Storious told him. ("That is the power you wish for." Storious said. "However, whether or not a human can master it remains to be seen.") Calibur then stabbed the ground with his sword as he turned around. "Then I, too, will hold nothing back." He said as he opened the Jaou Dragon book to reveal the story within. Jaou Dragon. Unleash the power concealed by innumerable dragons within the zenith of eternal darkness. Calibur then closed the book and brought his sword up to scan the book with the sliver symbol on it. Tyrant Lead After he took out his Jaaku Dragon book, he place the Jaou Dragon book in his Calibur Driver. As the book glowed, Calibur stood in the middle of darkness as a giant version of the book appeared behind him. He brought his sword up before he pushed the button on the driver with the sword and the book open up and he transformed into his new form. Kurayami, the Sword of Shadows. JUMP OUT THE BOOK! OPEN IT AND BURST! The fear of the darkness... ~You make right a just, no matter dark joke, Fury in the dark! Jaou Dragon. There is no escape... Espada was shocked to see Calibur's new form as darkness flow everywhere. As were Sophia, Blades, and G.Ember. "What is this... sinister form?" Blades asked with fear in his voice. "I d-don't know. I never seen this before." G.Ember said as she felt fear go through her. "It doesn't matter what form you take!" Espada shouted as she charged at Calibur. Calibur just walked to her as she charged at him. As Espada slashed her sword at him, Calibur blocked it with his sword and darkness pulsed when it happened. He then punched her and another darkness pulsed again. When Espada and Calibur clashed blades, more darkness pulsed again. Calibur then slashed her to the ground, proving he is much stronger than before. When she try to get up, Calibur hold her head and pushed her down. He then slashed her while she is on the ground and a powerful wave of darkness happened when he slashed his sword. As Espada struggled to get up, she felt the damage from Calibur's attacks. When she got up, she charged at Calibur again, only for him to catched her sword. As Sophia watch the fight, something or someone walked up from behind her. And when she turned to see who or what it is, a mist appeared and she disappeared as the fight went on. "Sophia sure is taking her time..." Cadence said as she hold the key she gave her, Spike, and the CMCs. The five of them were waiting for her to come back in the Northern Base for a while now. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo was playing with Flurry Heart while Spike read one pf the books. "I wonder what this key is for?" She asked as she looked at the key. "Maybe it unlocks something important." Apple Bloom said. "Or maybe it's for a hidden treasure!" Scootaloo said with excitement. She then started to look around for a treasure chest. "But if it is a key to treasure, wouldn't she have shown us the chest?" Sweetie Bell asked. Cadence then noticed a keyhole in one of the bookshelves. So she took the key and put in the keyhole and unlock something. A book glowed when she turned the key just when the three books appeared over the table and show the group what is happening with the riders. The five of them saw Espada fight Calibur in his new form and losing. "That doesn't look good." Spike said when he and the girls saw what's happening in the books. Back in Wounder World. Saber and Ember slashed their swords at the Goblin Megid just as Spark jumped behind him and kicked his butt. Then when the Megid stumbled forward, Saber and Ember kicked it back. Saber took the book Slash gave him and opened the cover. Bremen no Rock Band After he closed the book, he place it in his driver and pulled out his sword to transform into a new Wonder Rider form. Unsheathe the Flame! When two books synthesize, the hallowed blade is infused with power! ~Wonder Rider! Dragon Town Musicians of Bremen The brand equipped with two aspects shall be honed! "Now this is going to rock!" Spark joked as she and Ember place their swords in the holders on the sides of their belts and pressed the button on the handle of the swords. Saber then placed his sword back in the driver and press the button on the handle for the finisher. Final Page! Final Page! They each yanked out their swords, ready to finish the fight. Unsheathe the Flame! Dragon Town Musicians of Bremen Two Volume Strike! F-F-Fire! Paladin Slash! The speaker on Saber's shoulder went off for the finisher as the two paladins dance to the beat. "Fleming Zapping Melodic Slash!" Saber and the two paladins declared the finisher. As Saber slashed his swords, the Goblin Megid flinched but nothing happened. Then out of nowhere, a horse, a dog, a cat, a mouse, and the brave dragon stacked on top of the Megid. The three riders then charged at the Megid and slashed the Megid. "La la la!" Spark snag as they strike the Megid and he exploded. Zooous strike Slash down. As Drako and Aqua slash their swords at him, he blocked both of them and kicked them right into Fluttershy. "Gotcha." Zooous said as he looked to where Saber, Ember, and Spark. Then Saber's sword glowed in bright light on its own. "Now that was a blast!" Kenzan shouted as she ready her finisher. Hayate: Skimming Strike! Nin nin! "Thanks a bunch!" She said to the Goblin Megid as she threw her sword like a ninja star and destroy him. As the Megid is destroyed, her sword glowed just like Saber's. "What the heck?" She asked as she looked at her sword. Elsewhere. Legeiel smile at their plan is working. "It seems the door of fire and wind are opening." He said as one of the dissaperd parts glowed red and another glowed green. The group that was in the red glowing book was thrown out. "Guys! Are you all okay?!" Sunset asked as she Applejack, Celestia, Rainbow Dash, and Luna checked on them. Just then, the book that is in the place of the dissaperd part of the city shot a red beam into the sky. "What is that weird column of light?" Celestia asked as the group got up from the ground. Twilight's head started to hurt as she got a memory back. In her flashback. She herself with the girl from her dreams sitting under a tree. But that was it. They all saw a green column of light shot up in the sky, just like the red one. "What's going on?" Buster asked when he saw both the columns. "Looks like the fun's getting started..." Desast said as he looked at the two columns. "Wait, what?" Buster asked, wondering what he meant. "This might be the last time I get to play with you like this..." Desast said to Buster as he slashed his sword at him to create a smoke screen. Lucky Buster used his sword to blocked the attack. When the smoke clear, Desast was gone. "What's starting in the first place...?" Buster asked, wondering what the Megid are planning. Back with the fight between Espada and Calibur. Espada was pushed back by Calibur. She then placed her sword in her driver and press the button on the handle for the finisher before she yanked it out. While she did that, Calibur closed his book and scanned it with his sword. Final Lead! Jaou Dragon Kurayami: Ending Strike! Explicating Flash! Final Page! Unsheathe the Lightning! Cerberus Hedgehog Alangina Three Volume Slash! T-T-T-Thunder! Both sword are charging up with power. Espada charged at Calibur and try to strike him, but was blocked by darkness covering Calibur. Calibur then slashed his sword at Espada and a bunch of dragons of darkness pushed Espada back before she exploded. She detranformed back to Arabia and fell to the ground. "I acknowledge your determination." Calibur said as he walked towards her. "But as a swordswoman, you are still an amateur." He then aim his sword at her, ready to end her. "Go have a reunion with your family." He told her as he raise his sword up. At the Northern Base. Cadence covered the kids eyes as she closed her own from keeping them from seeing Calibur kill Arabia. When she opened her eyes, she was what happened. Calibur's attack was blocked by both Blades as he took the hit for Arabia. Blades try to strike back, but he fell to the ground as he transformed back to Surge. Arabia saw what Surge did for her and was shocked. "Surge!" She called out as he fell to the ground. Both her and G.Ember who transformed back to Velvet went to check on him. "Surge!" Velvet said as she and Arabia hold him. "Maybe I am not fit to be a swordsman either..." Surge said in a weak tone. "I acted based on my feelings..." He told the two. "No, it's alright to act on both your instincts and feelings." Velvet told him. "But why... why would you do this for me?!" Arabia asked. "Arabia, we're not just allies..." Surge told her. "We're family." Surge then was out cold. "Hey, Surge! Surge! Please, speak to me!" Arabia shouted, hoping he wake up. Calibur watched them hold the down rider before he walked away. "This world will soon come to an end." Calibur said. "The eternal truth will finally be mine." He said before he walked away. "Jaou Dragon..." Tassel said as we are back in his house and the place is dark. "A book of otherworldly power. Sophia has vanished and Surge has fallen..." He said in a sad tone. "What will happen now--" Tassel was going to ask something before his doorbell rang and interrupted him. "Oh my." He said as he looked at the door. "It seems they have arrived at last!" He said as he stood up. "Coming!" He told who ever is at the door as he walked over to it. The Story Continue > Volume 1, chapter 12: That place, where we made our promise > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We opened in Tassel's house as Tassel looked to you. "Bonne lecture, my friends!" He said to you. "As usual, I'm Tassel. And I need to make this quick." He opened a book and we see what happened in the last chapter. We see Legeiel looked over the city as one of the parts of the dissaperd city shot a pillar of light up into the sky. "What Legeiel and the others are doing will bring great change to both our worlds." Tassel explained, we then see Blades took the hit for Arabia when Calibur in his new and dangerous form. "However, Flash, the girls, and their friends have yet to realize that." He said as we see Arabia and Velvet ran to the down Surge. Tassel then closed the book and looked to you. "Now I wonder what will happen?" Tassel said before he looked at a cloaked figure. "Right?" He asked the cloaked figure. The cloaked figure didn't say anything and just walked out. "Oh, you're going already?" Tassel asked to the cloaked figure. "Okay..." He stand up and walked out too. Then a book from the bookshelf fly out and opened to the next chapter. We open to Surge in a bed with bandaged up. He woke up and saw that he's in a room in the Northern Base and Fluttershy was there. "Where am I...?" Surge asked, getting the attention of Fluttershy. "Surge!" Fluttershy said when she saw that he is wake. "You're up?" She asked as she went over to him. Surge saw her and reached out to her. "How is Arabia?" Surge asked Fluttershy. "She's fine..." Fluttershy answered him. "Thank goodness..." Surge said as he is glad that Arabia is fine. "Oh, thank goodness..." he started to fall back to sleep. "Thank goodness..." "What in the world is going on?!" Terra asked. He and the riders came back to Northern Base in the main room and the others told him what happened after they destroyed two of the Goblin Megid. They even brought Celestia and Luna to the Northern Base to explain what's been happening lately for the pass few weeks. "All these places, gone..." Terra said as he thought about what happened over. "Even when the Megid were defeated..." He walked around the room. "Those sudden pillars of light..." He sat down in a chair. "Sophia's nowhere to be seen..." He then looks at Twilight, Shining Armor, and their mother, Velvet. "And now you're telling me Calibur is actually Mr. Light?!" "We've already talked about this." Beat reminded Terra. "We did?" Terra asked. Arabia was quite the hole time as she was thinking about what happened to Surge. Twilight saw the sad look on Arabia's face just when Fluttershy came through the door. "How's Surge doing?" Flash asked Fluttershy. "He's fine. He just needs resting." Fluttershy told him. "He was more worried about Arabia than himself." "That's nice of this Surge." Celestia said. There was a bit a silence, till Rainbow Dash spoke up. "Why did you run off on your own like that, Arabia." Rainbow asked. Arabia didn't answer her. She just kept quite. Terra then got up and walked over to her. "Here are the facts." Terra said to Arabia. "Acting on your own like that will cost you your life. Don't ever do it again, got it?" He asked her. "Sorry." Arabia spoke. "I'm okay now." She had a small smile on her face. Twilight can tell that Arabia is lieing and she also felt like she needs to talk to Arabia about something. Back in the Megid lar. Storious, Zooous, and Night Light were talking about their plan. "Thanks to the Swordsmen, their Sacred Swords and Wonder Ride Books, two doors have been opened." Storious said. "Only four remain." Zooous said with excitement. "Once the doors are open, the worlds will become one, leading us to the universal eternal truth." Night told the two. "We will obtain its great power, and enact our world domination." Storious said. Back at the Northern Base. Beat weaved her hand and three books open up. And in the the books were maps that show the locations of the six places of the city that disappeared. "Six locations have been absorbed into the Wonder World." Beat told everyone in the room. She then flipped the page of the books that showed them two of the spots having pillars of light. One is red and the other is green. "The pillars of light that appeared when the Megido were defeated..." Beat told the others as they saw the pillars in the books. "Before that happened, both Flash's and Wind's swords glowed after they were defeated." Twilight said. "We can't enter any of the places with pillars in them anymore." Wind said. "Desast..." Terra said getting everyone's attention. "That creep was going on about something starting..." He told them. "Just like before..." Arabia whispered quietly. But Twilight heard her and wonder what that meant. "So what's the plan?" Rainbow asked. "I'm with Dash here on this one." Wind said as she sat down. "It's totally a trap, y'know." "Agreed, we have to stay vigilant." Beat said. "No." Terra disagree as he punched the books and they vanished. "We'll just have to break through it. We have to save the people who were affected." He told the others. "Even if it's a trap." The others know that they have to save all those people still trapped, but they don't know what will happen if they do the same to the other four. "There should still be Megid in the remaining four areas." Terra pointed out as he got ready to head out. "Let's split up and take them down." "Okay!" Wind shouted as jumped out of her seat. "Bring Arabia with you." Terra told Wind. He walked over to her and whispered in her ear. "I'm worried about her." "Got it." Wind understood. "Come on, Arabia!" She said as she, Terra, and Beat headed out. Arabia was about to follow but Twilight stopped her. "Arabia..." Twilight said. Twilight looked at Arabia with a worried look. "Are you sure you're all right?" She asked her. Arabia just gave a fake smile and looked at Twilight. "Yes." She answered her. "I know what must be done." She then turned her back to Twilight. "Where we made our promise." Was all she said before she headed out. Twilight wonder what she meant by that. Sprit heard it too and she knew what it means. Terra was running to one of the four places that disappeared. As were Beat, Wind, and Arabia. "At last, my prey..." Legeiel said as he felt the riders going to the places. "Take the bait." He laugh at the thought of them running right into the trap. Terra and the others arrived at the places they chosen and went in. Flash, Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy arrived at one of the dissaperd place. Flash put on his driver and a book opened up to Wonder World appeared. Just before they could enter, a blast stopped them and destroyed the book. When they saw who did it, they saw Zooous in his Megid form. "No need for you to join, Swordsman of Flames." Zooous said. Legeiel in his Megid form walked up next to him. "Very soon all three worlds will be connected, and great power will fall into our hands." Legeiel said. "You'll have to get through us first!" Flash shouted as the girls got ready to fight. Flash took his Wonder Ride Book and place it in his driver, just as the girls puts in their Paladin Books in their drivers. Brave Dragon Wonder Paladin "Let's have some fun, then." Zooous said as he ready his blades. Flash then draw out his sword just as the girls pressed the buttons and their books opened up. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin, Stand! "Henshin!" They shouted as they transformed into their rider forms. Flash to Saber, Twilight to Ember, Rarity to Aqua, Pinkie Pie to Spark, and Fluttershy to Reverb. ~Brave Dragon! ~Wonder Paladin! Zooous was the first to attack. Saber, Ember, and Zooous clashed swords. Leaving Aqua, Spark, and Reverb to deal with Legeiel. Saber got struck after he rolled under Zooous's attack, then Zooous kicked Ember back. Wind made it to disappear part of the city. "Let's get this done, Arabia." Wind said. But when she looked to where Arabia is supposed to be, she was not. "What the--? Arabia?!" She called out. In the room where Surge is resting. Arabia is there to check up on him. "I'm sorry, Surge." She said to the sleeping Surge. "It's all my fault..." Spike was near the door, listening in. "12 years ago on that day, I thought me and Sprit lost everything..." Arabia said with a sad tone. "That's why I was so happy when I heard Twilight, her brother and mother survived. I thought we could keep the promise the four of us made." Arabia's tone had pain mix in. Spike wonder why she came by that day, but he wonder what promise she is talking about and who is the fourth person she is talking about. Arabia remembered when she was younger and a young Twilight, Sprit, and fourth girl were doing a pinky promise. "But now that I know my uncle is gone..." Arabia said. "And Star was..." Spike heard the name of some girl that Arabia once knew. He even saw Arabia clinched her fist up at the thought. "I have to be the one to take him down." Spike knew she was talking about Night Light and that made him concerned. "Tell Flash to take care of Twilight for me." Arabia asked before she headed out. Spike quickly hid before Arabia could see him. Spike saw Arabia head out and he thinks he knows what she is planning to do. Somewhere in the city. Night Light wetness the two pillars of light still up. "How did you know about this place?" Night Light asked. Not to far behind, Arabia walked up. Spike sneak behind some trees as he followed Arabia. "I've witnessed something similar 12 years ago." Arabia told Night. She thought back to 12 years ago, where she was younger and there six books in the sky and each one the same colors as Saber's, Blades's, Espada's, Buster's, Kenzan's, and Slash's Wonder Ride Books. Then a burst of light from the center of circle of the six books. A book appeared from the burst and a dark vortex was coming from said book. A young Arabia was frightened by the sight. Arabia even saw young Twilight lost her grip and Star was sucked into the vortex as she they both called out to each other. "Six locations were erased, and six giant books took their places." Teen Arabia said. "12 if you count the ones in Equestria. Where we stand now is the epicenter. Where the gate to another world will open. That's what you're after!" Spike couldn't believe what he just heard. What's happening now, happened 12 years ago. Why didn't Arabia told the others? What is it that's so power? Spike then heard Night scoffed. "So now you know of our plan." He said to Arabia. "Then let's settle this now." Arabia demanded. "At the place where we made our promise..." Spike can tell Arabia is doing this not for herself or her uncle. He feels like she's doing this for someone else. "Night Light!" Arabia shouted. "You will fall by my hand!" She then took out her Lamp do Alangina book. Lamp do Alangina Before ether one of them could do anything else, Spike ran infront of Arabia. "Arabia, wait!" He shouted as he stood infront of her. "Spike?! What are you doing here?!" Arabia asked in complete shocked. "Just let me talk to him." Spike told her before he turned to look at Night Light. "Hello, I'm Spike. I was your daughter's dog before I found this book that turned me human. Anyway, I'm here to talk to you." Spike said. "Fine." Night said. "Speak what you have to say, dog." "Okay. Even since your family adopted me, I've felt like a part of the family." Spike said. "And when I turned into a human, they treated me like a little brother. And from all the time I've known them, they really missed you. So please, can't you just stop all this and came back home?" Spike asked, hoping Night would understand. "I'm doing all this to save my family, dog." Night Light told Spike, making both him and Arabia confused. "When I started to wield the Sword of Shadows, it showed me something that needs to be stopped." He said as he looked at his sword. "So there I can't stop till I am done with the coming danger." Arabia knew this is going to be ugly. So she place her Lamp do Alangina book in her driver. "Spike, get to cover." She told him as she then took out her Needle Hedgehog and Tri Cerberus books and place them both in her driver. Needle Hedgehog Tri Cerberus She then draw her sword and all three books open up. Unsheathe the Lightning! "Henshin!" Arabia shouted before she slashed her sword and transformed into Kamen Rider Espada: Golden Alangina. ~Witness the djinn of the lamp's true power! Golden Alangina! Spike did what Arabia told him and took cover behind a tree. As Night Light face Espada, he took out his Jaou Dragon book. Jaou Dragon He then scan the book with his sword. Tyrannical Read Night Light then placed the book in his Calibur Driver, then pressed the button on top with the bottom of his sword and the book opened up. Kurayami, the Sword of Shadows! "Henshin!" He shouted as he slashed the sword and transformed into Kamen Rider Calibur: Jaou Dragon form. ~JUMP OUT THE BOOK! OPEN IT AND BURST! The fear of the darkness... You make right a just, no matter dark joke Fury in the dark! Jaou Dragon. There is no escape... As Spike watched the stand off, he could feel the tension is so thick that you could cut it with a knife. Espada hold up her sword before she charged at Calibur and jumped ready to strike. In Wounder World. Slash slash her sword at a Goblin Megid. When the Goblin Megid thrust his staff at her, Slash swiped the attack away, then spun around before she strike him again. Buster in his part of one of the dissaperd city slashed his sword at a Goblin Megid and push him a agenst the railing. Buster then knocked away its staff and knock it over the railing. A Goblin Megid fell to the ground as it was trying to get away from Kenzan. "Hey, get back here!" Kenzan shouted as she chess the Megid. "Why are you running away?!" Back at the Northern Base. Celestia, Luna, and Cadence were walking to Surge's room as they talked. "It really supperis me when Surge summon a blue lion when he opened his book." Cadence said to Celestia and Luna. "I must say, all this is so much to take in." Luna said. "It feels like no matter what happens, there's always some magical things happening." "Yeah, it does." Celestia said as they reach Surge's room. "Mr. Surge, we came to check up on you and also Pinkie made you some cupcakes." She said as she opened the door. But when they entered the room, Surge was not in bed or the room. Back to the fight with Saber, Ember, Aqua, Spark, and Reverb agenst Legeiel and Zooous. Saber switched to his Crimson Dragon combo as he, Ember, and Aqua jumped and came down on Zooous and slash their swords at him. Zooous blocked all three of their attacks with his swords. Each rider try to get an attack in, but Zooous swiped each attack away. Spark and Reverb blocked Legeiel's attack and got pushed back. Spark jumped over him to try and attack him from behind, as Reverb try to slash at him. But Legeiel blocked both their attacks and strike both of them. Zooous pounced on Saber, ready to strike him. Saber use his sword to blocked the attack, but Zooous broke through and Saber fell to the ground as he transformed back to Flash. Zooous then slashed Ember when she try to get him. He strike her and fell next to Flash as she transformed back to Twilight. Aqua, Spark, and Reverb ran to protect the two from Zooous and Legeiel. "And here I thought one on three was going to be hard. You need like four more to face me!" Zooous gloat. "Now then..." He said as he walked to them. The three Paladin riders kept their guard up as he came closer. Just then, Surge rode his blue lion straight at Zooous with his sword hield high. The two clashed blades and Surge jumped off his lion knocked Zooous back. "Get off!" Zooous shouted as he knocked the lion off him. "So you came, Swordsman of Water..." Legeiel said to Surge. "Are you both all right, Flash, Twilight?" Surge asked as he looked back at the two. "Surge..." Aqua said as Flash and Twilight struggle to get up. "You should be in bed and recover." "I'm fine." Surge said as he hold his side. "Allow me to take your place, Flash. You and Twilight should be by Arabia's side." "Why? Is she not with Wind?" Reverb asked with concerned. "Even so, you're still--" Twilight try to tell Surge that he's still injured before Surge yelled at him. "It must be you, Twilight!" Surge yelled. "Arabia intends to settle a score from 12 years ago." He told Twilight and the others. "Do you remember the promise you made with her? Star and Sprit, as well." He asked Twilight as he looked at her. "Star?" Twilight asked. She didn't know why, but the name "Star" sounds familiar. Then she had a flashback to when she was younger and with Arabia, Sprit, and the third little girl. The three were laughing and looking at the pop-up book that Arabia gave her. Then the girl with white skin and yellow hair hield up her pinkie. It was right then and there Twilight remembers. Her past, the life she had in Wonder World, the fun she and her friends had. But most importantly, the promise she made with Star, Arabia, and Sprit. "Star..." Twilight said with pain as she remembers her lost friend. Both her and Flash got up from the ground and Sprit flew out from Surge's pocket to Twilight. Twilight then remember herself, Arabia, Sprit, and Star together. "Star... Star..." Twilight keep saying as she remembers the promise they made. The four of them made a pinkie promise. "Surge." She said to him. "Thank you." "No need to thank me." Surge told Twilight. "We are friends, are we not?" Twilight gave him nod. "You both take care of Arabia." He told the two. "Right." Twilight said before she looked to her friends. "Give him some back up." She told them before she grabbed Flash's hand and pulled to wherever Arabia is now. Leaving the three Paladins riders and Surge to fight Zooous and Legeiel. "I've got a score to settle with you." Zooous told Surge. "You've done enough, Zooous." Legeiel said. Zooous grunted as he and Legeiel left. "Hey! Why did they leave?" Spark asked as she, Aqua, and Reverb transformed back to Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy. "I don't know what that was about ether." Surge said. "But right now, we have to go help the people..." "Are you sure, Darling?" Rarity asked. "You are still injured." "Didn't Twilight asked of you to give me back up?" Surge asked as he limp to the dissaperd part of the city. Back in one of the dissaperd parts of the city. Slash knocked the Goblin Megid to the ground as she ready her finisher. Hanselnuts to Gretel Yay! "Snack on the Chopper!" Slash declared her finisher as she perpar to strike. Suzune: Recital Strike! Yay! Slash slashed her sword and struck the Goblin Megid. His feet were cought in candy and couldn't move. The Goblin Megid threw his staff at Slash in hopes to get her. "You're so naive!" Slash told the Megid as she ducked under the staff. "Very sweet of you." She joked as ducked under the staff as it came back and hit the Goblin Megid in the head. Slash the walked over to him as she reside her sword and deliver the final blow. After the Goblin Megid exploded, her sword started to glow just like when Saber's and Kenzan's swords did. In the dissaperd parts of the city where Kenzan is. She was able to catch up to the Goblin Megid and knocked him to the ground and perpar her finisher. Sarutobi Ninjaden Nin nin! Hayate: Skimming Strike! Nin nin! "Wind Blasde Dance: Duet!" She declared as she moved so fast and strike the Megid multiple times. She stopped behind him before she use her two swords to deliver the final blow. With the fight with Buster and a Goblin Megid. The Megid charged at Buster as he got ready to finish this. Genbu Shinwa Ka-bam! As the Goblin Megid jumped and ready to strike, rocks form on Buster's sword and blocked the attack. He then raised his sword up and knocked the Goblin Megid to the ground. Gekido: Sporadie Strike! Ka-bam! The rocks made his sword look bigger. "Grand Judgement!" Buster shouted as he brought his down on the Megid and destroyed it. After it was destroyed, his sword began to glow like with the others did. Just then, two more of the giant books where the parts of the city were burst a pillars shot out to the sky. One was magenta and the other was bright orange. The one where Kenzan was had its part of the city returned. With Blades and the three Paladins. They were fighting a Goblin Megid like the rest were. Both Blades and Aqua thrust their swords forward after they dogged the Goblin's attacks. Spark and Reverb then slash their swords after. The Megid thrust his staff at Blades, but he jumped to get out of the way. When he landed, he fell to his knee as is still injured. But that didn't stop at the least. He jester the girls to move out of the way as he place his sword in his driver and press the button on the handle before he yanked it out for the finisher. Final Page! Unsheath the Current! Lion One Volume Slash! Water! Aqua, Spark, and Reverb place their swords in their holders on their belts and press the button on the handles then draw them out to help with the finisher. "Hydro Sparking Sound Stream!" They declared as they charged at the Megid with their swords covered in water, electricity, and sound waves. They each slash their swords at him and he fell to the ground before he exploded. Right then and there, Blades's sword glowed like the others did. "It's..." Blades said as he saw his sword glow. With the fight between Espada and Calibur. Calibur slashed his sword at Espada and she was send back and to the ground. Flash and Twilight on his Diago Speedy drove to where the fight. As Twilight ride with Flash behind him, she remembers what Arabia said before she went out. (Where we made our promise. Arabia said before she headed out.) "Where we made our promise..." Twilight said to herself. Calibur kicked Espada while she was still on the ground. Espada blocked his sword with her's when he brought it down. "I'll do whatever it takes..." Espada said as she pushed Calibur back. "...to take you down!" "Twilight." Sprit said from Twilight's pocket while Flash drive. "Does this mean you remember everything now?" "I do, Sprit!" Twilight answered. "I remember everything now!" "That's nice to hear!" Flash said. "So, who is this Star person?!" As they drove to where Arabia is fighting her father, she remembers when she was younger and with her friends and looking at the pop-up book under a tree. "Star..." Twilight said. "Was a great friend." ("The four of us will always be together." Star said as she hold up her pinkie. As did young Twilight and Arabia. Young Sprit just stood on young Twilight's hand and ready to shake with her hand. "It's a promise." Young Twilight said as all four did a pinkie promise.) "That was the day we made an important promise!" Twilight said. The hole time they ride, Twilight told Flash who Star was and what promise she, Sprit, and Arabia made with her. She then remember when Calibur and the Megid attack and Star was being sucked into a vortex. Twilight promise to save Star, but she couldn't keep it for the two lost their grip and Star was sucked into the vortex. "Arabia said she wanted to tell you something once you get all your memories back!" Flash told Twilight. "Guss after we help her, she can tell you!" "She asked me if ignorance is bliss!" Twilight told Flash. Back with the fight, Espada and Calibur clashed blades as Calibur was being pushed back. "Arabia was carrying that burden on her shoulders this whole time!" Twilight assumed. Calibur then strike Espada with his sword. "Even my share of it..." Espada took her Needle Hedgehog book and place it on the tip of her sword. Hedgehog hmm, hmm... Learning Flash! She then slash her sword and a bunch of needles shot out to Calibur. Calibur spun around and use his cap to asorbed the needles before he shot them back at Espada. "Arabia!" Twilight called out as she and Flash kept on driving. Espada transform back to Arabia as she rolled on the ground. "I'm not done with you..." Arabia told Calibur as she struggled to get up. "Even if my life is at stake, I will defeat you...!" Spike watched from where he's hiding as Arabia use her sword to balance herself as she got up. "This is for my uncle..." She told Calibur. "For Surge... For Twilight and her family!" She shouted. "My daughter, son, and wife?" Calibur asked. "They were lucky enough that I saved them, but wouldn't if I knew my daughter had Brave Dragon and she would get a boyfriend would someday wield Rekka, the Sword of Flames. But if any of them dares stand in my way, then they, too, will die by my blade." Spike was shocked to hear that Night Light would kill his own family if they gets in his way. Arabia gripped her sword tight when he said all that. "No, I won't..." Arabia said with rage in her tone as she remembers the promise she and her friends made. "I won't let you get your way!" She got up from the ground as she looked at Calibur. "As long as I breath, you'll never lay your hands on Flash, on Twilight, or her family!" Arabia declared as she puts her sword back in her driver, then yanked out again to transformed back into Kamen Rider Espada, Golden Alangina again. Unsheathe the Lightning! "Henshin!" Arabia shouted as she transformed. Golden Alangina! Now back in her rider form, she stand ready to fight again. "I... will stay true... to my convictions!" Espada shouted as she place her sword back in her driver and press the button on the handle for the finisher. Final Page! Calibur closed the book in his driver for his finisher. Final Tyrannical Page! Espada yanked out her sword and perpar to strike. Unsheathe the Lightning! Cerberus Hedgehog Alangina Three Volume Slash! T-T-T-Thunder! Calibur press the button on his driver with his sword and the book open up for his finisher. Tyrannical Ending Strike! You are over. As darkness covered him, Espada charged at Calibur with lightning speed as Calibur send out many dark dragons at her. Espada managed to dodged each drak dragon and jumped up high in the air. In the air, Espada slash each dark dragon that flew at her. Down on the ground, Calibur send a big dark dragon at her. Espada slashed her sword at the dragon as she came down at Calibur. It was soon night time and both Twilight and Flash saw Spike next to Arabia on the ground. "Arabia!" Twilight shouted as she ran to both Spike and Arabia. Flash and Sprit follow her to make sure Arabia is still alive. "Arabia! Arabia!" Twilight shouted to her in hopes she's still alive, but with no response. "Please Arabia, don't do this!" She begged. "Spike, what happened?!" Flash asked. "She fought Night Light, then there was a bright light and when I came to Night was gone and Arabia is out cold." Spike answered. Just then, Arabia coughed in pain as she saw Twilight, Flash, and Sprit here. "Twilight..." Arabia said weakly. She looked at Spike. "Did I..." Spike was not sure how to answer her. "I see..." She looked back at Twilight. "I'm sorry. I..." Twilight said as she cried. "I wasn't able to save Star." "You remember now, huh...?" Arabia asked. "Yeah." Twilight said as she hold her friend. "When Star went missing, and you and your friends were brought into this chaos..." Arabia said. "I thought my uncle, Sombra was behind it all. That's why I--" "I know!" Twilight interrupted her. "I..." Arabia spoke to Twilight. "I was so happy... I was happy that you held on to your love of books... Happy that you made new friends... Happy that... you vowed to keep your promises... Star..." "We'll save her!" Twilight told Arabia. "The four of us will always be together..." Sprit flew on to Twilight's sholder and whipped the tiers from her eyes. "That was our promise, remember?" "It was..." Arabia said with a small smile. "...our promise." She weakly brought up her hand and raised her pinkie. Both Twilight and Sprit saw this Twilight place her pinkie around Arabia's and Sprit place her hand on the two. But before they could finish their pinkie shake, Arabia's hand fell to the ground, lifeless. Twilight looked at her friend and saw that her eyes were closed. "Arabia?" Twilight asked, hoping she would respond. Flash checked her pulse and looked at Twilight with a sad look. "No..." She didn't want it to be real, but it is. Arabia is dead. "Please, not like this..." She begged as she hold her friend close. Two figures arrived to see Twilight crying as she hold Arabia's lifeless body close. One is the cloak woman from the white void and the other is Tassel. Tassel looked at the cloak woman as she watched Twilight and Flash. "Arabia? Arabia!" Twilight kept calling out to her in hopes she would respond. Flash hugged Twilight as she was crying her eyes out over the lost of her friend. "ARABIA!" Twilight shouted. The Story Continue > Volume 1, chapter 13: I, will stay true, to my convictions > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open in Tassel's house and Tassel himself turns to see you. "My friends!" He said with happiness to see you. "My name is Tassel." A book from the shelf flew to him and surprise him. "Whoa there..." He hold the book in hands. He the quickly walked closer to you. "We've got a terrible situation on our hands here! I really mean it this time." He told you in a worry tone before he opened the book up. We then see what happened in the last chapter. We see Legeiel looked over the city as two of the dissaperd parts shot up pillars of light into the sky. "The locations Calibur's posse sent to the Wonder World have created five pillars and rings of light." Tassel explained as we see two more pillars of light shot up to the sky as one return to the real world. "Just one more and the giant book in the center will open, connecting this world and Equestria with the Wonder World and granting them great power." We then see Twilight and Flash ridding his Diago Speedy to where Espada and Calibur is fighting. "Twilight regained her memory, but Arabia fell to Calibur's sword!" Tassel said as we see Twilight crying and holding her friend in her arms. After Tassel closed the book, another flew out and open up to the next chapter. In a bedroom at the Northern Base. Twilight sat next to the bed with Arabia in it. Flash, her friends, and family were there and you can feel the mood is sad in the room over Arabia. Applejack even took her hat off to show respect. Pinkie's hair even deflat because of the lost of their friend. Sprit sat on Twilight's sholder as Twilight hold the pop-up book and open it to the page of Wonder World. "The four of us used to read together all the time..." Twilight told everyone in the room as she remembers when she and her four friends read the pop-up book. "Star's ancester made it and we always read it everyday. But I..." She started to feel guilty for what happened years ago. "I forgot about our important promise." "Twilight, I'm so sorry." Velvet said as she sat down next to her daughter. "Me and Shinning wanted to tell you for so long. But I was afraid that you would be devastated over what happened. "It appears that Arabia was under the impression that you died from the incident 12 years ago." Surge told Twilight. "It's just like her..." Twilight said. "To bear everything on her own shoulders..." "When I heard about the incident 12 years ago, I was looking high and low for you in hopes that you survived." Sprit said. "But she was ecstatic when she heard you survived." Surge told Twilight. "She said that the four of you still had a chance to keep the promise you made." "Guys." Spike said to get everyone's attention. "I try to reason with Night Light when Arabia confront him. But he is beyond reason and even said that if Twilight, Shining, or Velvet gets in his way, he would kill you." "Then that just means my husband really is gone." Velvet said in a sad tone. In the Megid lar. Zooous rubbed his neck and he looked happy. "All that's left..." He said as he walked over to Legeiel. "...is one more." "Once that door opens..." Legeiel spoke. "The three worlds and their great power will be ours." He sounded excited about it. "Still..." Storious said as he walked over to Night Light. "Will the Swordswoman of Thunder appear?" He asked Night Light. "No matter." Night Light said. "It'll be fine as long as a Sacred Sword is there." He said as he looked at his sword. Back at the Northern Base. Terra slammed his fist on the table because of what he, Wind, and Beat heard about Arabia. Wind looked the most upset about Arabia than anyone, other than Twilight. Flash, Twilight, and the others came through the door and Wind quickly ran over to them. "How's Arabia?!" Wind asked. "Thanks to that special book, she's alive." Flash answered Wind. "But she's still unconscious." "Not for long!" Beat shouted as she entered the room. "If we don't do something, her life will be consumed by the darkness!" "What are you talking about?!" Rainbow asked. "The book is keep her stable, but the Sword of Shadows has put darkness inside her and little by little it's eating her light." Velvet told Rainbow Dash. "There has to be a way to save her!" Twilight shouted with so much considered. "You'd have to ask Calibur about his sword yourself!" Terra told Twilight. "There are rings in the sky above the five pillar of lights." Beat told the others. "The Sacred Swords and Wonder Ride Books are empowering them." Twilight just realized something. "Just like 12 years ago!" Twilight spoke up. "That was when a door opened at the center of the six rings of light!" "Twily's right." Shining said. "Our father and the wielders of the Sacred Swords before you went through the samething." "She got her memories back?" Terra asked. "I do." Twilight said. "They said they were going to connect all three worlds and obtain the great power within." "That's good to hear, Sugercube." Applejack said. "But, what's does that all mean?" "That means the book in the center will open after the last pillar is up." Terra answered Applejack. "And I'm guessing that's a bad thing." Flash said. "If they get their hands on that power." Surge said. "We have to put a stop to it." "I'm gonna avenge Arabia!" Wind shouted. "Hey!" Terra shouted at Wind. "She's not dead yet." "All right!" Sunset spoke up. "Let's all overcome this together!" "Hey missy, it's not that simple." Terra said to Sunset. "Only one location remains." Surge said. "That and the center." "Then the last pillar would need..." Flash said. "Ikazuchi, the Sword of Lightning!" Both he and Twilight said at the same time. "Either that, or Calibur's Kurayami, the Sword of Shadows." Beat said. "Then the answer is simple." Flash said. "We defeat Calibur, and take his Sacred Sword! That way we can save both Arabia and the city!" "If you are planning on doing that, then you'll need back-up." Terra said before he nodded to Wind. They both took their Sacred Swords out and Terra tap Applejack's sholders with his sword as did Wind did the same With Rainbow Dash. Power flow from both swords and Paladin Ride Books appeared in Applejack's and Rainbow's Paladin Drivers. Applejack's book had Buster on the cover, while Rainbow's had Kenzan on it. "All right! Finally!" Rainbow shouted with joy. "Let's go!" She shouted as she, Flash, and the girls headed out. "I shall accompany you." Surge said as he followed them. "Me too!" Wind shouted before Terra stopped her. "What about your injuries?" Terra asked Surge. "This is no time to worry about that." Surge said. "Hey!" Terra shouted as Surge closed the door behind him. "That kid... It's not that clear-cut!" Then the book Spike has made a sound and he took it out. "Looks like something's going on..." Celestia said as she opened the book. Somewhere in the city. A Goblin Megid jumped down to the place where Kenzan destroyed one and returned that part of the city back. The Goblin then opened the white book up and made that part of the city disappeared again. Walking to the Megid is Night Light and he looked ready to destroy the Megid. Back at the Northern Base. The others saw what is happening in the book Spike is holding. "So he's going to do it himself after all." Terra said as he and the others watch him in the book. "Come on!" Spike said after he closed the book. "Let's head out!" He and the CMCs were about to head out before Terra stopped them. "You four and the principles stay here." Terra told them. "You all look after Arabia." "We will." Cadence said. Terra was about to grab his sword before Beat hold it out to him. "I'll stay behind and do what I can." Beat said. Terra took his sword from and got ready to head out. "I'll leave you to it, then. Let's head out, Wind!" Terra said. "Bet!" Wind shouted as the two head out. Beat place the blank book Flash got from the cloak woman in the white void and a yellow book about the same size as the other in the slot under the table and close the class. In Wounder World. Night Light walked towards the Megid with sword in hand and looked ready to open the last door. Just then, Flash, Surge, and the others arrived there. "You were a swordsman chosen by a Sacred Sword!" Surge shouted at Night Light. "Why are you doing this?" "I've given everything..." Night Light started. "All to obtain the eternal truth." "Is that why you're sacrificing both the people and ponies?" Sunset asked. "Even Arabia?!" Twilight asked. "There's no other way." Night Light told them. "Then we'll stop you!" Flash declared. "Fascinating." Night Light said. He then scan the Jaou Dragon book with his sword. Tyrannical Read He then placed the book in his driver then pressed the button on top with his sword. While he did all that, Flash and the others place their Wounder Ride Books in their drivers. Both Flash and Surge draw out their swords and all three books open up. The others pressed the buttons on their drivers and each book opened up. Unsheathe the Flame! Unsheathe the Current! Paladin, Stand! "Henshin!" They all shouted as Flash, Surge, and Night Light slashed their swords and giant version of the Wonder Paladin books open behind girls, Shining, and Velvet open up and they all transformed into their rider forms. Rainbow Dash rider form looked just like Kenzan but the top armor had black in the center with white on the sides and her sword had a green stone in it. Her chest plate was a black book with Kenzan's symbol on it. Applejack's armor is like Buster's but without the sword on top of the helmet and her chest plate is light orange with Buster's symbol on it and her sword had a light orange stone in it. Jaou Dragon "You all lack the power to stop me." Calibur in his Jaou Dragon form said. ~Crimson Dragon! ~Fantastic Lion! ~Wonder Paladin! "You'll see." Saber in his Crimson Dragon combo said. "And we'll save Arabia!" Ember declared. Back at the Northern Base, in Arabia's room. Twilight's voice echoed her name and Arabia woke up. She sat up in her bed and looked around the room. She was about to get out of bed, till she felt the pop-up book under her hand as she got up. "Twilight..." Arabia said as she looked at the book. She then took the book and open it up to the page of Wonder World. She then got a flashback of when she was younger and Twilight introduced to her Star and Star showed her the book with a smile on her face. "Star..." Arabia said. "Protect Twilight and her new friends and loved ones." The door to her room open and the CMCs came in and saw that Arabia was gone. "Where'd she go?!" Apple Bloom asked. "We got to tell Principle Celestia!" Sweetie Bell said. They ran to tell Celestia and the others. "Where the heck did she go?!" Scootaloo asked. Back in Wounder World. The riders were knocked to the ground by Calibur. "Jeez! Even with ten of us, he's too strong!" Rainbow complained. Calibur then scan his book with his sword for his finisher. Tyrannical Read Jaou Dragon Kurayami: Ending Strike! Learning Flash! Calibur then slashed his sword at the group with a big wave of darkness. Before it could reach them, Buster and Kenzan came in and combined their powers to create a wall that took the hit. "Calibur! No, Mr. Light..." Buster said. "There's a mountain of things I want to ask you. But first, you're gonna tell us how to save Arabia!" "Don't bother. She can't be saved." Calibur told them. "What?!" Ember asked when Calibur told them Arabia can't be saved. "The existence of one consumed by the power of darkness will vanish." Calibur said. "Does that mean...?" Aqua spoke in a worry tone. "She will be gone." Reverb sounding sad. "Then w'll take you down and ask the sword ourselves!" G.Ember shouted as she stood up. "We'll free Arabia from the influence of darkness using its power!" The others stood up from the ground and perpar to attack. "Is that something you're capable of doing?" Calibur asked. "If it's us, you bet we can!" Saber said. Saber place his sword back in his driver and press the button on the handle for the finisher. Final Page! "I'll show you a man's resolve!" Buster shouted as he scan the Jack-to-Domamenoki book with his sword for his finisher. Jack-to-Domamenoki "I'll show you how strong Arabia is!" Kenzan shouted as she scan the Kobuta 3Kyoudai book in the slot in the sword for her finisher. Kobuta 3Kyoudai "For both Arabia and the people!" Blades declared as he puts his sword back in the driver and press the button on the handle for the finisher. Final Page! "We'll stop you in your tracks and that goes for the Megid!" Ember shouted as she and the other paladins place their swords in their holders on their belts and press the button on the handle for the finisher. Saber and Blades draw out thieir swords and perpar to strike. Unsheathe the Flame! Unsheathe the Current! As they perpar to strike, Calibur closed his book and press the button on his driver for his finisher. Jaou Dragon Final Tyrannical Page! Tyrannical Ending Strike! You are over Each rider slashed their swords at Calibur with an unslot of powerful slash. But Calibur was ready for it as he slashed his sword and cancel out their attacks. Then sending out five dark dragons at them. The dragons struck each rider and send them flying back a few feet and to the ground. "Surge!" Saber called out as he Blades was mostly injured out of all the riders. "I knew you hadn't recovered yet!" Buster shouted as he got up. "This ends here." Calibur said as he raise his sword up and it was being covered in darkness. "No!" Saber shouted as he got up and charged at Calibur. Saber jumped and try to strike Calibur with sword. Calibur dodged his attack and struck him with his sword. "Flash!" Ember called out when Calibur struck him. The Goblin Megid charged at Blades while he was down. Tyrannical Ending Strike! Calibur was about to strike the Goblin Megid and open the last door, when Espada and G.Ember jumped in and blocked the Megid's attack. "Arabia! Mrs. Velvet!" Blades shouted when he saw the two and Calibur struck down the Goblin Megid. When both Espada and G.Ember knocked the Megid into Calibur's slash, it kept going and hit both Espada and G.Ember. "MOM! ARABIA!" Both Ember and Drako shouted when the two got hit. The others called out to Espada and G.Ember as well with so much considered. Both Espada and G.Ember transformed back into Arabia and Velvet as they fell to their knees. "Arabia! Mom!" Ember shouted as she ran over to them. As that happen, both Calibur's sword and book glowed as a sign that the final door is open. When the a purple pillar of light shot up to the sky and a ring form in the sky like the others, the riders were knocked out from Wonder World and back to the real world. Ember, Drako, and Blades transformed back to Twilight, Shining, and Surge as they went over to Arabia and Velvet. "Why did you both do that?!" Surge asked the two. "I was not going to let him hurt anyone else..." Velvet answered. "And we're family..." Arabia said. "It's a no-brainer... More importantly--" "I understand!" Surge interrupted. "I will fulfill my mission! And I... will save you both!" "And mom!" Twilight spoke. "We will save both you and Arabia! I promise!" Arabia looked at both Twilight and Surge. "But that's just your own stories..." She told them. "She's right..." Velvet said. "After we took a hit like that... we don't have much time." "After all..." Surge spoke. "I, too, am a fellow Homo sapiens." Just then, Celestia and Luna along with Cadence, Spike, Sprit, and the CMCs came in. "There you are, Arabia!" Celestia said. But when they saw how badly injured she and Velvet are, they got worried. "Ms. Celestia!" Surge said as he slowly got up, despite his injuries. "I leave both Mrs. Velvet and Arabia to you and your sister." He then went off. Saber got up and follow Surge, along with Twilight, and the girls but Sunset. As they left, both Arabia and Velvet collapsed. As the final ring expand to connect the other five, all six rings of light open the door to the power Calibur and the Megid are after. "At last, the door opens." Calibur said as he saw the rings coneted. From behind, Blades in his Fantastic Lion Wonder Combo try to attack him. But Calibur clashed blades with him, then knocked him to the ground. Saber, Kenzan, Buster, and the Paladins caught up and Saber try to get him. But Calibur dodged it knocked away both Ember's and Kenzan's attacks. From where Arabia and Velvet are, they watched them fight Calibur and not doing so well. "Everyone's--" Arabia spoke before Sunset interrupted. "Giving their all!" Sunset said. "Flash, Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Wind, and Terra too!" Each rider either got blocked or struck by Calibur. "You gotta give it your all too, Arabia!" Arabia slowly got up as Buster swung his sword down at Calibur. "Terra has always been clumsy, rough with his words..." Arabia said. "But he looked after me..." Buster pushed Calibur back when the two clashed blades. Kenzan jumped down on Calibur and swung her two swords at him. "I've always been helped by... By Wind's cheerfulness... Even if she's a bit much at times..." Sunset, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Spike, Velvet, and the CMCs listen to Arabia. "Beat always helped maintain our swords for us..." Arabia said as we see Beat doing some celebrations to Arabia's sword. "But I've never properly thanked her... Surge..." We then see Blades get struck by Calibur. "He's always serious and inflexible... But his passion and strength rivals no other..." Blades was able to get his balance back and dodged Calibur's attack and counter him. Arabia then remember him saying that they are not just allies, they are family. "The girls..." Arabia said as each Paladin Rider helped each other strike at Calibur or blocked Calibur's attack. "...they always have one another's back, no matter what..." Then both Saber and Ember used their swords to blocked Calibur's. "Flash..." Arabia said. "Flash is a kind man... and will always help those in need... And Twilight... Twilight's..." Spike can tell both Arabia and Velvet are almost out of time. "Hurry up, guys!" Sprit shouted with so much considered. "Before it's too late! Arabia and Velvet are...!" "Arabia! Mom!" Ember shouted. "We won't let them die!" Saber shouted. Just then, in the center of the six rings of light, a white book appeared. Back at the Megid lar. Zooous laugh because their plan had succeeded. "And there it is." Storious said. "What is that?!" Apple Bloom asked as everyone saw the book. "The door to the eternal truth..." Saber said when he saw it. Calibur then kicked Saber back a bit. The others try to stop Calibur before he got the chance to go through the door. But Calibur spun around and slashed each rider down. The fell to the ground as they were knocked out of their rider forms, except Saber and Ember. "I..." Saber shouted as he place his sword back in the driver and press the button on the handle for the finisher. As did Ember with her's in her holder. Final Page! They both draw out their swords and charged at Calibur. Unsheathe the Flame! When they slash their swords at him, he dodged them both then perpar to strike back. Unleash the Shadow! Explicating Flash! Calibur then slashed both of them and send them flying in the air before they transformed back to Twilight and Flash as they crashed on the ground. "You aren't strong enough to protect anything." Calibur told them. "Twilight! Flash!" Sprit shouted as she and the others watch Calibur perpar to end the two. But when Twilight heard Sprit call out to her, she remembers when Star was being sucked into the vortex and she couldn't save her as Star called out to her. "No..." Flash said as he crawled over to his sword. "Twilight, I know what you're thinking and this time you will succeed. Because you're not alone!" He told her as he stood up. "Flash is right..." Arabia said as she watched Flash stand up. "You're not alone, Twilight... I believe in you..." "Remember!" Flash spoke. "We have to save Arabia, your mother, Equestria, and the city!" Twilight knew Flash is right, so she picked up her sword and stand with him. And just when Twilight stand with Flash, both Rekka and the Brave Dragon book started to glow. Back at the Northern Base. The pop-up book opened up on its own and a new page appeared in it, to show both Saber and Ember in new sliver armor. As that happen, the blank sliver book shined before it shot out and became a ball of light and surprise Beat. She saw it fly out to somewhere and she thinks she knows where. The ball of light shot up to the sky and an aurora went everywhere. Back in the city, everyone saw the aurora in the sky and the ball of light floated down to Flash. "That's..." Calibur said when he saw the ball of light. When it stopped infront of Flash, both him and Twilight saw it was the book the cloak woman gave him. "The book from before...?" Flash asked. "What's going on...?" Twilight asked. "I know you have the power, Twilight! And that goes for you too, Flash." A familiar voice from the ball of light spoke. A voice Twilight, her brother, her mother, Sprit, and Arabia recognized. Everyone else couldn't see it, but Twilight and Flash saw her, Star looking at the two with smile. "Star..." Arabia said when she heard the voice. "Star...!" "Is it really...?" Sprit asked as a tear ran down her cheek. "Star?" Twilight asked. Flash didn't know how she knows his name, but he reached out to the book and it floated to his hand. When the light vanished, the cover appeared to show a knight riding a dragon and the title saying, Dragonic Knight. As Flash took the book, an energy flow from the book went to Twilight's Paladin Ride Book and charged it to a sliver book with Ember on the cover and the title changed to Dragonic Paladin. Dragonic Knight Dragonic Paladin Flash then opened the book and a bright light shine as the story within was revealed. The dramatic battles of an experienced knight riding with extreme style on an enormous dragon. Both Flash and Twilight looked at each other and knew what to do. Flash took out the three books from his driver and put in the Dragonic Knight book in the first slot. Flash then draw out his sword as Twilight pressed the button on her driver and the two books open up. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! The two books glowed and the two stood in a library surrounded by flames. Two giant versions of the two books open up behind Flash and Twilight. The Dragonic Knight book extended to show Saber and a dragon had flames in the background and Brave flew out from the book. The flames on the sword was brighter as Flash perpar to slash it. The Paladin Ride Book behind Twilight show Ember in sliver armor with flames in the background. "Henshin!" The shouted as Flash slash his sword and two armors emerged from the two books and they transformed into their upgrade rider forms. Don't miss it! The Metallic Armor! The Stylistic Booster! The Dauntless Rider! ~The knight appears! ~When you side, you have no grief and the flames is bright! ~Ride on, dragon! Fight! ~Dragonic Knight! In other words, it's the strongest! Ember's upgrade form is like Saber's, but her forearms has red dragon heads on them and her chest plate had flames around Saber's symbol. And her shoulders pads had crimson dragon wings on them. Everyone saw and was amazed by both Saber's and Ember's upgrade forms. "I see you both obtained another power." Calibur said when he saw their new forms. "However!" He shouted as he slashed his sword and send a slash wave at the two. But when the slash landed, flames around the two send it back at Calibur. "What?!" He asked in shocked just when it hit him. "You said you didn't need friends." Ember said to Calibur. "And that's how you're going down." Saber told Calibur as the two approach him. Calibur charged at the two. When slashed his sword at the two, they weren't affected by his attacks. When Calibur slashed again, Saber blocked the attack with his arm and pushed him back. Ember the stabbed the ground with her sword and flames rise to block Calibur from trying to attack them again. "Because the whole reason we can fight is thanks to the friends who believe in us!" Ember told Calibur from behind the flames. "Go for it you two!" Terra shouted to Saber and Ember. "Go!" Wind shouted. "You can do this!" Pinkie Pie cheered for them. "We are behind y'all always!" Applejack shouted. "It's all on the two of you!" Rainbow shouted. "For all worlds!" Fluttershy shouted. "We believe in you both!" Rarity shouted. "Go!" Surge shouted. "Go!" Spike, Sprit, Sunset, Shining, the principles, and the CMCs shouted. Saber then ready his Dragonic Booster on his arm. Dragonic Booster! Spicy! Calibur send slash waves at the two, but Saber use his Dragonic Booster to block each attack just as Ember sprouted dragon wings from her shoulders and blocked the attacks. "What?!" Calibur was shocked that they are stronger than him when they blocked his attacks. "You said you've given everything, and yet..." Saber said as he tap the Dragonic Booster and mouth opened. Dragonic Booster! "Our desire to become stronger comes from the people we want to protect!" Ember finished Saber's sentence as he took out his Brave Dragon book and place it in the Dragonic Booster. One Reading! Brave Dragon Saber pressed the button on the Dragonic Booster just as Ember use her sword to fire a stream of flames at Calibur. Flame Spicy! Calibur struggle to block the flames being shot at him. But the flames broke through and send Calibur flying back and to the ground. The Stylistic Booster! From behind a tree, the cloak woman watched Saber and Ember doing well in their upgrade forms. "You have overcome all the trials..." The cloaked woman said. "Your convictions will become your strength!" Saber shouted to Calibur. "You're too late." Calibur said as he got up from the ground. "I will soon reach the universal eternal truth." His hole body then got covered in darkness and started to fly off. Saber pushed the cover of the book back three times when he and Ember saw Calibur took off. ~The knight appears! When you side, you have no grief and the flames is bright! Ride on, dragon! Fight! Dragonic Knight! A giant version of the book appeared behind him and Brave the dragon flew out and Saber ride him as Ember sprouted the dragon wings again and they flew after Calibur. The others watch them and is amazed by the new power they have. They all have faith that the two will win. Both Saber and Ember fly right at the ball of darkness and strike as they flew by it. They fire fireballs at the ball of darkness as they fly in the sky. They both came at it and slashed it again. "One day you will understand." Calibur told the two as he float in the air in the darkness. "There are some things that require sacrifices to obtain." Both Saber and Ember swung their swords and three clashed blades each time they flew by. Calibur pressed the button on his driver with his sword for his finisher. Final Tyrannical Page! "We determine how this story ends!" Both Saber and Ember declared as Saber puts his sword back in the driver and press the button on the handle for the finisher, just as Ember puts her sword in her holder and press the button on the handle for the finisher before they draw them out. Final Dragonic Page! Unsheath the Flame! Dragonic Ending Slash! Tyrannical Ending Strike! The three flew right at each other and clashed blades. "Divine Flame Dragonic Slash!" Both Saber and Ember declared their finisher as they were locked in with Calibur trying to get one over. The were able to break through and strike Calibur mid air and Calibur exploded. As Saber and Ember fly down, Kurayami fell from the sky. "We are not done yet!" Brave the dragon said as he turned and aimed at the book in center. Brave then shot a fireball right at the book and a orbe formed around the book. Back on the ground, Velvet and Arabia saw the two defeat Calibur before they lay their heads down on the ground. Saber and Ember transformed back to Flash and Twilight as they are back on the ground and looking for Kurayami. "Where is it?!" Twilight asked with concern. "If only we had his sword...!" "Don't worry, we'll find it!" Flash said as they continue to look for the sword. Just then, Beat run in with so much considered on her face. "Flash! Twilight!" Beat called out to them. "It's Arabia and Velvet...!" Twilight and Flash followed Beat to Arabia and Velvet. So much thoughts were going through Twilight's head right as they head to her mom and Arabia. When the two reached to where they are, they saw dark aura coming off the two. "Arabia! Mom!" Twilight cried out as she and Flash ran over to them. Twilight kneel down next to Arabia and Velvet with her brother. "Arabia... Mom..." "Twilight..." Arabia said weakly. "It's all right..." "Everything..." Velvet said weakly. "...is going to be alright." "No..." Twilight said as she crying over her friend and mother. "Arabia... Star's alive!" "I know..." Arabia told Twilight. "I heard her too." "We all did..." Velvet said. "...and I know you will save her." "The four of us were supposed to be together forever!" Twilight cried. In the background, a young Star as like a ghost watched her friend Twilight cry and her other friend Arabia lay on the ground on the brink of death. The dark aura almost covered both Arabia and Velvet. "And please mom! We lost dad, we can't lose you too! I failed to save someone closet to me again..." "No..." Arabia told her friend. "You saved me and Velvet. And not just us... Everyone saved us. You all saved our hearts." Everyone started to tier up as the two were being consumed by darkness. "And Twilight..." Velvet said. "...I am so proud of you and Shining Armor... Keep this world safe from the Megid... and never give up on yourself... And Spike...you've been so loyal to Twilight when you were a dog....Please stay loyal to your family..." "Arabia! Mom!" Twilight cried as Flash comfernt her. "I still wanted..." Arabia said. "...to keep fighting alongside everyone." "Flash..." Velvet said to him. "...keep my daughter happy..." "I promise." Flash told Velvet before he looked at Arabia. "Thank you... for everything." Arabia said to all of them. "For everything you've done for me..." She then looks at Twilight and Flash. "Please... Protect our world... The world we all live in..." She asked as she remembers when she, Twilight, Sprit, and Star played together. Twilight reached out to Arabia's and Velvet's hands and hold them tight. "Alongside everyone..." "We will..." Twilight said as she cry. "I promise!" Sprit flew to Twilight's sholder as she cry. "I promise too!" Flash said. "We'll always help them do it!" Sunset said. The girls agreed with Sunset as they also cry. "I'll watch over Twily, mom! I promise that!" Shining told Velvet as he try to hold back his "liquid pride" as Cadence hugged him. "And you've been like a mother to me. I love you." Spike told Velvet as he cried his eyes out. "We got this!" Terra told her. Wind and Beat are crying so much that they couldn't say anything to them. "Of course!" Surge told Arabia. "We all promise!" Celestia said as she and Luna cry. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Bell hugged their sisters as they cry so much. Rainbow Dash even hold Scootaloo as she and her cried. Both Arabia and Velvet smile, knowing that the others are going to keep their promise before they fell to the ground, lifeless. "Mom... Arabia!" Twilight called out as they flipped them on their back as the dark auras on them grew darker. "Twilight... Twilight!" Both Arabia and Velvet called out in pain as the darkness consumed them. They both screamed as the dark auras burst out. Velvet open her eyes and they glowed red as her and Arabia's bodies start to vanish. Everyone saw both Arabia and Velvet vanished before them. Both Arabia and Velvet were gone. Somewhere in the forest. Kurayami was sticking in the ground before a dark aura emerged from it as it heard both Arabia and Velvet cry out in pain before they vanished and it saw Velvet's eyes glow red. The Story Continue > Volume 1, chapter 14: These feelings, dwell within my blade. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to inside of Tassel's house, where we see Tassel crying his eyes out. "My friends, I am currently very sad!" He to you as a book fly out and opened itself up to show what happened in the last chapter. It shows us Flash reaching out to the book from the cloaked woman and its power being given to him and Twilight. Then we see them in their Upgrade forms and defeated Calibur in the sky. "Flash and Twilight obtained a new power, Dragonic Knight and Paladin, and they defeated Calibur, but Velvet took to many hits from Calibur, and both her and Arabia was consumed by the power of darkness and vanished!" Tassel explained as we see both Arabia and Velvet scream out in pain as they were consumed by darkness. "Calibur also finished creating the giant book that connects to great power!" Tassel said as we see the six rings of light connect and a big white book appeared in the middle of them. "This crisis is never-ending..." Tassel said as he continued to cry. Then a book flew out from the bookshelf and opened up to the next chapter. We open to the Megid lar, where we see Storious, Legeiel, and Zooous looking at a rainbow bubble that show them the the door to the power they seek, covered by the orb of flames by Brave the dragon put. "Soon, the final door will open." Storious said. "But that flame is getting in our way!" Zooous pointed out as he sounded annoyed. "It'll go out eventually." Legeiel told Zooous. "It's only a matter of time." Zooous looked at Storious with an mad look. "I did not expect them to defeat Jaou Dragon though..." Storious said as he smile at the thought. "Saber and his paladin are truly fascinating individuals." When he laughed a bit, Zooous slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "You think this is funny?!" Zooous shouted. Storious looked at Zooous and smiled. "Now, now, I'm sure we'll be fine." He told Zooous. "We've only just begun." Meanwhile in the forest where the Sword of Shadows still covered in dark aura. Desast walked up to it and was about to pull it from the ground, till the emblem on the sword stopped him and the dark aura grew darker. "Whoa there..." Desast said in a small surprise. "I should've known." He then took a couple steps back. The dark aura then took form fo Calibur as he is being revived. "I won't let anyone stand in my way again." Calibur said as he took hold of his sword. In the Northern Base. The group was in a moment of silence in respect for both Arabia and Velvet. Flash is holding Arabia's sword, while Twilight hold her three Wonder Ride Books and her mother's Paladin Ride Book. Pinkie's hair had deflated as well, while Wind is on the stairs. Rarity was patching up Surge. "It our fault." Apple Bloom said in sad tone. "If we kept a better eye on Arabia..." Scootaloo said. "It's not your fault, you three." Terra told the CMCs. "Arabia or Velvet wouldn't blame anyone." Surge said. "How can we cry after those looks they gave us?" Terra asked. Shining Armor looked at a photo of her mother with both him and Twilight. Cadence sat next to him while holding Flurry Heart in her arms. Spike was thinking about the day Velvet adopted him when he was a dog for a Christmas present for Twilight. "Arabia was a remarkable swordswoman." Surge said. "And Velvet was magnificent paladin. We have to uphold their expectations." After Twilight heard what Surge said, she looked at the four books in her hands and then at Arabia's sword Flash is holding. "I'll do it as well." Spike said. "And I won't break mom's promise." Shining said. "Arabia must be avenged." Wind said. "Agreed." Terra said. "But most importantly..." "We have to save the world!" Twilight said, getting everyone's attention. "Our duty as swordsmen and paladins is to keep the balance of the world. That's what we promised Arabia and my mom!" Everyone agreed with what Twilight said. "Terra." Twilight said as she walked over to him and place one of Arabia's books in his hand. "Take this." The book that Twilight gave him is the Needle Hedgehog book. Twilight then walked over to Wind and gave her the Tri Cerberus book. She then walked over to Flash and gave him Arabia's Lamp do Alangina book. They all promise to save the world and keep the peace. In the center of the city, there floats the door to the power the Megid seek and the riders must defend. At the Megid lar, three had come up with a plan to obtain the power. "I'll be going on ahead." Legeiel told the two. "Let's get this done!" He declared as he headed out. Back at the Northern Base. Rarity had made outfits for her and the others. Flash had a red jacket with flames on the sleeves and a dragon head in front of a book on the front of the it, with Saber's symbol on the back. Twilight's and Shining's just like Flash's but the flames had a touch of sliver on the sides. Rarity has a blue jacket with water like streams up the sleeves and Blades's symbol on the back. Applejack's is light grey with Buster's symbol on the back. Fluttershy's is pink with sound waves up the sleeves and Slash's symbol on the back. Rainbow's is light green with wind flows up the sleeves and Kenzan's symbol on the back. Pinkie's jacket is yellow with sliver lightning bolts up the sleeves and Espada's symbol on the back. Even though they told her with Arabia gone, she can no longer transformed into Sparks anymore. Because without a wielder of the Sacred Sword of Lightning, its power can't be given to her. Just like with Velvet when Rekka was lost. But she still wanted to help. On the inside of each jacket had book holders so it would be easier to get the Wonder Ride Books if they need them. Surge walked in with Rarity and Sweetie Bell behind and went to Beat who is working on something. "Beat, have you finished the new Wonder Ride Book?" Surge asked. Under the computer is a blank book. "No, not yet." Beat told Surge. "Please, let its power be mine." Surge asked. "Very well, I'll adjust accordingly." Beat said. "Your Ride Books." She asked Surge for as she hold out her hand for them. "Of course." Surge said as he hands Beat all three of his books. She took the three books and place them in three slots in the drawer under the table. She then placed the King of Arthur Ride Book in a fourth slot in the drawer. Just then, Spike came in with the book shinning as a sign as the Megid are making their move. "Guys! You need to see this!" He said as he opened the book and a page showed them the the door in the center of the city. "The fire Brave made is going out!" "Let's keep it simple." Terra said as he grabbed his sword. "We'll go with the kid's plan. First, we'll stop them all together. Don't let them get to the center. Then we'll destroy the pillars of light." "Let's do this!" Flash said before he and the others went out to protect the center. Leaving Beat, Surge, the CMCs, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Rarity, Spike, Pinkie and Sprit behind. In the city. Legeiel looked up to where the door is and saw the flames around it is going out. "The three worlds will soon be in our grasp, thanks to that great power." Legeiel said as he looked at the door in the sky. "It is only fitting that I am the one who made it happen." Just then Flash, Twilight, and Shining arrive to where Legeiel is. "No on our watch!" Flash told Legeiel. "Unfortunately for you..." Legeiel said to the three. "It's already too late." "Nah, dude." Wind said as she, Fluttershy, and Rainbow came in. "Yeah! We don't think so." Rainbow said. "You aren't going anywhere!" Terra shouted as him and Applejack came in. The riders had Legeiel surrounded. "Because we are gonna stop ya and shut them doors!" Applejack said. Just as Flash was about to charge at Legeiel, Calibur arrived and everyone was shocked to see him here. "Calibur." Storious said as he and Zooous saw him in the rainbow bubble. "Just as I thought." "Calibur..." Both Flash and Twilight said. "How is he still here?!" Rainbow asked. "Doesn't matter!" Wind shouted. "I'm bringing you back down to the grave!" She told Calibur as she place her Sarutobi Ninjaden book in her sword and pulled her one sword into two. Sarutobi Ninjaden Split the Twin Blades! "Henshin!" Wind shouted as she slashed her two swords and transformed into Kamen Rider Kenzan and attack Calibur. Hayate! "I'll get some actual answers outta you this time! Mr. Light!" Terra said as he placed his Genbu Shinwa book in his sword. Genbu Shinwa Ka-bam! Terra charged at Calibur but Legeiel blocked his way as the two clashed blades. "You'll be facing me!" Legeiel told Terra. "What...?!" Terra asked as he struggled agenst Legeiel with his sword. When the two pushed each other back, Terra pressed the button on the handle of the sword and transformed into Kamen Rider Buster. "Henshin!" Gekido! When Buster charged at Legeiel, Legeiel transformed into his Megid form and the two clashed blades again. That just leaves Flash, Shining , Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow. "Arabia, let's save the world together." Twilight said to herself. Flash heard her and so he took out not just his Brave Dragon book, but the Lamp do Alangina book as well. And Twilight took out her mother's Paladin Ride Book. Lamp do Alangina Brave Dragon Wonder Paladin "Henshin!" Flash and the other four shouted as they placed their books in their drivers and Flash draw out his sword, while the others pressed the buttons and they all transformed into their rider forms. Twilight into Ember, Shining into Drake, Applejack into Quake, Rainbow into Whirlwind, Fluttershy into Reverb and Flash into Saber but with a little something new. Unsheathe the Flame! When two books synthesize, the hallowed blade is infused with power! ~Wonder Rider! Dragon Alangina The brand equipped with two aspects shall be honed. Paladin, Stand! ~Wonder Paladin! "We'll protect the world by taking you down!" Saber declared as welded both his and Arabia's sword. He, Ember, Reverb and Drake charged at Calibur, while Whirlwind and Quake charged at Legeiel. Calibur pushed Kenzan back just as Saber, Ember, Reverb and Drake came in and swung their swords at him. Calibur clashed blades with the three. "You can't protect anything. I will reach the eternal truth!" Calibur told the three as he clashed blades with them. "You'll never have my respect!" Kenzan shouted as she charged at Calibur and spin jumped while she swung her two swords. "Arabia's way stronger than you!" Kenzan was showing no sign of slowing down. She kept on swinging her swords at Calibur. Calibur was able to find an opening and slash Kenzan to the ground. Saber and Ember ran in and clashed blades with Calibur. "You struck down mom, Arabia, and her dad..." Ember scold Calibur. "What truth is worth the lives you've taken?!" "The one unbreakable rule of this world!" Calibur told them. "That's no reason to make people suffer!" Saber shouted just when Drake and Kenzan came in and joined the tussle. "You loved mom! This "eternal truth" is not worth the sacrifice!" Drake shouted at Calibur. "I'll prove Arabia's strength by defeating you!" Kenzan declared. Calibur struggle with the four riders pushing him back. "We'll carry on both Arabia's and mom's convictions!" Ember declared as the four pushed Calibur back. "And we will keep our promise that we made with them!" Saber shouted as they pushed Calibur off them. Rekka, Sword of Flames Ikazuchi, Sword of Lightning Saber then pushed the cover of the Lamp do Alangina book with the Sword of Lightning. As did Ember, Reverb, and Drake did with their books. Lamp do Alangina Wonder Paladin "Flaming Destroda!" Saber and the two paladins declared. "Sound wave strike!" Reverb declared her attack. Kenzan place her Sarutobi Ninjaden book in a slot in the sword for her finisher. Sarutobi Ninjaden Nin nin! Hayate: Skimming Strike! Nin nin! "Wind Blade Dance: Duet!" Kenzan declared. All for launch a ball of fire, lightning, sound, and wind right at Calibur. Calibur stood his ground as he block the ball of elements. But the five riders were notgiving up that easy. Meanwhile with the fight between Legeiel agenst Buster, Whirlwind, and Quake. Buster and Quake pushed Legeiel back as Whirlwind slashed at him. Legeiel dodged each of the three riders attacks as he rolled or jumped out of the way. When he try to strike back, the riders dogged his attacks. Both Buster and Quake spun around and clashed blades with Legeiel as Whirlwind jumped over the two and kicked him in the face. Then all four locked blades when they clashed. "This is our first time fighting for real, huh?!" Buster asked. "And with two paladins by my seide!" Legeiel then pushed all three back. "The power of Mythical Beasts lies within my sword." Legeiel said. "Strength alone won't be enough to defeat me!" He pointed his sword at them as it glowed and it fired multiple shots at the three. Then a bunch of boulders fell on top of them. As Legeiel laughed, Buster and Quake burst from the boulders out. "So anything goes, huh?" Quake asked. Both Quake and Buster swung their swords at Legeiel that grew bigger, but Legeiel flipped over their swords. When he landed, both Kenzan and Whirlwind came from behind and strike him with their swords. Saber, Ember, Reverb and Drake were left to deal with Calibur. Calibur jumped and was about to strike one of them, but both Buster and Quake came in and blocked Calibur's attack. "I don't know what happened, but if you had told us everything..." Buster said to Calibur before he and Quake pushed him back. "Arabia and your wife wouldn't have had to suffer for 12 years!" Buster shouted as he scan the Needle Hedgehog book with his sword. Needle Hedgehog Gekido: Chunking Strike! Ka-bam! Buster then struck the ground and send electricity right at Calibur. "How could we have known if you and Sumbra always kept your mouths shut?!" Buster asked as he charged at Calibur and swung his sword at him. "My words wouldn't be enough for you!" Calibur shouted. When Buster swung his sword down, Calibur blocked it and brought his sword up to his neck. "Things aren't always what they seem to be." He told Buster before he slashed him with his sword. Calibur then slashed Buster again, causing him to step back. "Terra!" Saber called out just as Kenzan and Whirlwind came in. Saber and Ember caught Buster just as Kenzan charged at Calibur. "You don't know me and Arabia's true strength, don't ya?!" Kenzan asked as she remembers when she and Arabia trained together. "We're the greatest and strongest swordswomen alive!" She shouted as she swung her two swords at Calibur and even spine kick him. But Calibur stepped back from each attack. After she got one kick in, she place the Tri Cerberus book in the slot in the sword. Tri Cerberus Hayate: Skimming Strike! Nin nin! Kenzan the shot a lightning bolt pass Calibur that took form of a big dog made of it and attack Calibur. Calibur knocked it away as it try to pounce on him. After he slashed it away, he growl at Kenzan when he turned to face her to see Saber and the paladins walking up. "Arabia carried a burden all on her own." Ember told Calibur. "And mom was hurt that you were gone. Yet they always kept their smiles..." They remember when Arabia first meet all of Twilight's friends. Ember the time when her mother showed her one of the stories she made. Ember remembers all the good times she had with either Arabia or her mom. "That right." Saber said. "This time, we will fight with their convictions at our side!" Saber ready both swords in his hands, just as the paladins ready theirs. They all charged and swung their swords at Calibur and not letting him get a shot in. When Calibur slashed his sword at Saber, he blocked it with both his swords. Ember and Drake then kicked him back just as Quake, Reverb, and Whirlwind slashed their swords at him. Saber then placed his sword back in the driver and press the button on the handle of the sword, just when the paladins place their swords in their holders on their belts and press the button on the handles. They then draw out their swords for the finisher. Final Page! When Calibur try to stop them, Saber blocked him with Arabia's sword then slashed him with it. He then placed the sword in the holder on the side of his belt, then draw both swords out. Unsheathe the Lightning! Explicating Flash! Unsheathe the Flame! Dragon Alangina Two Volume Slash! F-F-Fire! Saber swung both swords with his covered in flames while Arabia's is covered in electricity. With them he and the five paladins struck Calibur with mighty blows. Back at the Northern Base. Surge is still waiting for the new Wonder Ride Book to be finished. Then Pinkie shouted, making everyone jumped a bit. "No!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she hold the book and saw the flames around around the door is almost out. "They got to hurry!" Spike said as he saw it too. "I'm going out there!" Beat told the others. "How much longer will this take?" Surge asked. "Ask the book!" Beat told Surge as she went to get her sword. "What's that supposed to mean?" Apple Bloom asked. Back in the city, the giant book in the sky started to open up and the riders saw it from where they are. "The flame..." Saber said when he saw the book open up. "It is time." Calibur said as he stand up. "I can't afford to play with you any longer." Saber and the others knew they had to stop him before he before he could get to the book. They charged at Calibur just when the three Megid leaders in their Megid forms show up and blocked their path. "Please, go on ahead." Storious told Calibur. So Calibur went to the door to the eternal truth. The riders charged at the three Megids infront of them as hopes to get pass them and stop Calibur. Saber, Ember, and Drake took on Storious, Kenzan, Whirlwind, and Reverb took on Zooous, while Buster and Quake took on Legeiel. Saber and Ember was pushed back by Storious before Drake clashed blades with him. "Let us handle them!" Drake told Saber and Ember. "You both go stop Calibur!" "Right!" Both Saber and Ember said as they jumped over the fight and went after Calibur. "Stay safe you guys!" Saber told the others. The two charged at Calibur and lock blades. "I remembered when you wanted to protect the world with people you consider friends!" Ember told Calibur. "I told you I've given up everything!" Calibur shouted as he got his sword free and dodged each of Saber's and Ember's attacks. Calibur blocked one of their attacks and strike both of them. "Flash! Twilight!" Quake shouted when she and Buster saw Saber and Ember fall to the ground. Kenzan, Whirlwind, and Reverb blocked Zooous attack after they saw the two on the ground. When the two struggle to get back up, Slash came running in at top speed and clashed swords with Calibur. "Beat!" Saber said as he and Ember stood up. Slash charged at Calibur again and swung her sword at him. The two clashed blades, till Calibur grabbed her arm. "My ancestor's old friend." Slash said as Calibur hold her arm and looked at his sword. "I don't hear a single echo from you anymore!" She got her arm free and clashed blades with Calibur. "You are like your father, haven't changed a bit." Calibur said as they lock blades again, then his sword started to give off darkness. Then Calibur struck Slash to the ground with his sword. Saber and Ember charged at Calibur and lock blades again. The other riders were knocked to the ground with Slash but quickly got back up. The three riders and four paladins continue to fight the three Megids. Saber and Ember clashed blades with Calibur once more as the others fought the Megids. The fight with riders and the Megids took them inside a factory. Kenzan and Whirlwind rolled on the ground as Legeiel went after the two. Buster, Quake, and Drake fought Storious while Slash and Reverb fought Zooous. Storious slashed all three riders he faced off while Zooous struck Slash and Reverb as Legeiel struck both Kenzan and Whirlwind. The riders fell to the ground by the three Megid leaders. They quickly got back up and not giving up. "Terra!" Slash said as she took out her Bremen no Rock Band book and gave it to Buster. Bremen no Rock Band "This is gonna be interesting." Buster said as he took the book from Slash. "Wind." He hands Kenzan his Jackun-to-Domamenoki book. Jackun-to-Domamenoki "Things are heating up now." Kenzan said as she hands Slash her Kobuta 3Kyoudai book. Kobuta 3Kyoudai After Slash took the book from Kenzan, she closed the book in her sword and replace it with the book Kenzan gave her. She then pulled the trigger and opened the book to transform into her Wonder Rider form. As did Buster with the book Slash gave him and so did Kenzan. Suzune! Gekido! Hayate! The riders, with their new Wonder Rider forms and the paladins split and attack the three Megid leaders. Buster, Quake, and Drake took on Zooous. "You'll be facing us!" Buster shouted as he, Quake, and Drake pushed Zooous back. Buster and Quake got Zooous in a lock with their swords. "I've always thought about what it would be like to eat you!" Zooous said to Buster. Drake kicked Zooous from the back as Buster and Quake slashed him. "Oh, we'll give you something to eat!" Quake shouted at Zooous. Drake swung his sword when Zooous try to strike at Quake. The three then pushed Zooous back. Kenzan and Whirlwind flipped back, then Kenzan place her Sarutobi Ninjaden book in slot in her sword. Whirlwind place her sword in her holder on the side of her belt and press the button on the handle of the sword. Sarutobi Ninjaden Nin nin! Hayate: Skimming Strike! Nin nin! "Come on, what's wrong?" Legeiel asked as he ready his sword. The two then unleashed a hurricane right at Legeiel but he swung his to absorb it. He then launched it back at the two. They try to block it, but send back a few feet back. "Not bad!" Kenzan said while on the ground. "We should have seen that coming!" Whirlwind said. "I can summon any ability I wish!" Legeiel told the two. He the stabbed the ground with his sword as it glowed and send rocks at the two as they slash at the rocks. "Your infantile swordsmanship is no match against me! Suffer, suffer for me!" He then summon two boulders and use them to squish the two riders. Kenzan and Whirlwind try to push the two boulders and not get squished. They couldn't hold and the boulders collide. When the two fell apart, both Kenzan and Whirlwind were not there. Legeiel was shocked and looked around for the two. He then looked up and saw the two riders were on the sealing. "Now you've done it!" Kenzan shouted as the two jumped down and charged at Legeiel. Slash and Reverb were left to fight Storious. Both riders swung their swords at him as he step back to dodged their attacks. When they turned after Storious blocked their attacks and strike back, he was not infront of them but behind them. "You people have spent countless years..." Storious said the two. When they saw him, they charged at him but he disappeared again. The two looked around for him, to see where he might strike next. "Wasting your efforts..." The two finally spotted him. "But it was all for naught." He walked away just as the two went after him, only to see him disappear again. The two kept their guard up as they try to spot Storious. "What a truly pitiful existence." Storious voice was every where. "At the very least, you should enjoy your last moments." He was behind them and when they turned to see him his eyes glowed to blind them. "Now, which one is the real me?" Storious asked as the two saw there's three of him. "They could all be illusions..." One Storious said. "Or perhaps not..." Said another one. "What will you do?" Asked the third. "I can't t-tell which one is r-real." Reverb said sounding sacred. "Just take a deep breath and relax. Then listen very closely." Slash told her and that's what they did. They both breath in then breath out. They both listen for the real Storious. "For us our ears are our greatest strength. And he talks too much." Slash then placed the book in slot under her sword. Kobuta 3Kyoudai Yay! Suzaune: Recital Strike! Yay! Slash then had two copies of herself, one had straw on her arm and the other had bricks on the arm. Each Slash and Reverb charged at the copies of Storious. Each copy clashed blades with each Storious as well did Reverb slash her sword with the one with sticks. Back outside, the book in the sky full open as the flames vanished. It started to send down golden dust everywhere and something strange happened. A few people who was hiding next to some cars saw a ponies appeared infront of them and they looked almost like them. And that's not the only thing, they all looked up and kinda saw dragons and other creatures from Wonder World were blurry but began to appear. The little kids, fillies, and colts smile as if they were amazed to see them. Desast laugh as he spun around as the golden dust went everywhere. "Worlds, books, and swords are clashing against each other..." Desast said. "A festival of most hellish and entertainment proportions is about to begin!" Back at the Northern Base. As Surge and the others waited for the book to be done Rarity, Spike, the CMCs, Cadence, Flurry Heart, Pinkie Pie, Celestia, and Luna from Equestria appeared next to their counter parts. When they saw each other, they were shocked to see themselves different except for the two Pinkie Pies. "Wow! You must be me from that other world Twilight told me about!" Both Pinkie Pies said at the same time. "What in the name of Equestria is happening?!" Celestia from Equestria asked. "Are you me?!" Celestia asked her alicorn version. "Are you a winged horse with a horn?" "We are called alicons." Luna from Equestria told her human sister counter part before she looked at her human counter part. "I must say, this is very peculiar." She said as look over her human self. "That's one way to say that." Luna said as she looked over her alicorn self. "I'm a dragon in your world?" Spike asked his dragon self. "Uh yeah. But when I came here, I turned into a dog. How are you human?" Spike the dragon asked. Human Spike can tell this is going to be complicated to explain. "Uh what a cute baby you have." Both Cadences said to each other. Alicorn Flurry flew over to her human counter part and the two giggled. Both pony and human CMCs were talking to each other as they were amazed to see themselves different. "I must say, when I asked Twilight what you wear I am very impressed by your clothing." Pony Rarity complete her human counter part. "Yes well, I love how you care for your...mane" Rarity complete her pony counter part. She now knows how Twilight felt when she meat her human counter part, except they were both human. Just then Sunset began to glow bright and when the light die down, Sunset was turned into her unicorn form. "This must mean that book is open." Sunset assumed. "How much longer till that book is done?" She asked Surge. Surge took no mind to the ponies and dragon here and just looked at the book, then as lightning quick the book turn dark blue meaning it's complete. "It's done!" All the humans said when they saw it. Back with Saber and Ember fighting Calibur. The three stood in battle stands as the book in the sky open up. "We will protect the world!" Saber declared as he and Ember brought their swords up and charged at Calibur. Calibur brought his sword up and blocked their attacks. From not to far, Princess Twilight, Flash Sentry, and Twilight's parents appeared and saw Saber and Ember fight Calibur. They saw Calibur made Saber and Ember slip and he moved behind them. The two quickly recover and face Calibur. The ponies saw that the two riders as Calibur is just fine. "That's what we promised Arabia and my mom!" Ember said. The two the clashed blades with Calibur and Saber swung Arabia's sword and Calibur dodged him. The ponies then saw took hold of both Saber and Ember in a sword lock with them. "It's human nature to betray." Calibur told the two. Night Light could have sworn Calibur had his voice. "Promises are meant to be broken." "That's not true at all!" Ember shouted sounding angry as they got free from the sword lock and swung their swords at him just as he spun out of the way. "There is nothing more inconsistent and fragile than human beings." Calibur told the two. "You can only rely on absolutes!" Calibur then swung his sword and the two riders blocked his attack with their swords. Calibur then spun around and blind side them with his cape then struck both of them. Saber and Ember fell to the ground and the Lamp do Alangina book fell out from Saber's driver. "Guess some things never change." Saber said as he and Ember struggle. They almost lost their balance till Princess Twilight and Flash help the two. The two riders were surprise to see their pony version of themselves but they had no time to ask about them. "We will stay true to Arabia's and Velvet's convictions!" Velvet was confused by what Saber just said. Saber then charged at Calibur with both his sword and Arabia's in hand. When he swung his sword a Storious appeared and blocked his attack. "You're a real threat." Storious told Saber just as Zooous showed up and knocked Saber back. Ember went to help just when Legeiel showed up and clashed blades with her and Saber. The other riders came running at them and with them is Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Shining Armor from Equestria. "Take advantage of this opportunity." Storious told Calibur as he went to fight the riders. Calibur flipped his cape over himself and a ball of darkness flew away. The riders, Twilight and her friends were left to fight the three Megid leaders. The ponies did their best to help the riders as they fight. The riders and ponies were struggling with fighting the three Megid leaders, even with more on their side. But they were not giving up as they try to get a hit in. They all saw Calibur fly up to the book in the sky and went in it. Surge and the others came in and Pinkie picked up Arabia's Lamp do Alangina book from the ground. Surge and Rarity stepped up and looked ready to fight. "In the name of Nagare, Sword of Currents..." Surge said. "I will keep the balance of the world!" He took out his new Wounder Ride Book. It's dark blue with a dark blue lion on the cover. King Lion Daisenki Slash knock an attack way and saw Surge and the others here. "Took you a while!" She shouted. Surge then opened the book to reveal the story within. Surpassing nature, the blue mane enrobed in armor roars upon the throne. After Surge closed the book and place it in the center of his driver, the energy flow to human Rarity and a new Paladin Ride Book appeared in her hand. The book is dark blue with Aqua and a blue lioness on the cover with water in the background and the title saying, "Daisenki Lioness Paladin." She placed her new book in her Paladin Driver. Surge then draw out his sword as Rarity pressed the button on her driver and the books open up. Unsheathe the Current! Paladin Stand! The two books glowed and both Surge and Rarity stand in the middle of a library with water surround them as giant version of the two books landed behind them. "Henshin!" They both shouted as Surge slashed his sword and the books behind them open up and they transformed into their Upgrade forms. RHYMING! RIDING! RIDER! ~All hail the king of beasts! Rising! Lifull! King Lion Daisenki! In layman's terms, it's a warrior who fire cannons. Aqua's new form is similar to Blades but the chest plate had water waves surrounded Blades's symbol, her shoulders had lioness heads while her forearms had blasters and her body down has sapphire blue to the legs. Both CMCs were amazed by both Blades's and Aqua's new looked as is the two Spikes, Pinkie Pies, the principles and retired princesses and the two Cadences and Sunset. Rarity was amazed by her counter part armor and how it looks spectacular. "Surge! Rarity!" Saber shouted when he saw them then blocked Storious's attack. "Use this!" Buster shouted as he tossed Blades the Needle Hedgehog book. "And this!" Kenzan tossed Blades the Tri Cerberus book. Blades caught both books and is ready to use his Booster on his arm. King Lion Booster! When the lion head on the booster open up and Pinkie Pie gave him the Lamp do Alangina book, Blades place each book in it one at a time. One Reading! Lamp do Alangina Two Reading! Needle Hedgehog Three Reading! Tri Cerberus "I also made my promise!" Blades said as he remembers when Arabia asked him to help Flash look after Twilight for her. "Please stand aside, everyone!" Blades shouted. Princess Twilight knew what he was about to do, so she power up her magic and teleported everyone but the three Megid leaders behind Blades and Aqua. Blades and Aqua then took aim and blasted the three. Needless, a djinn, and Cerberus shot out from Blades booster and hit the three. Lionic Burst! Blades and Aqua then charged at them. "Leave this to us!" Blades shouted as tossed Saber the King of Arthur Ride Book. "We'll make sure to stop Calibur." Ember said as she took out her Dragonic Paladin book. "You try and destroy that pillar of light!" Saber told as he pointed at one of the pillars ahead. "Understood!" Blades said as he and Aqua charged at the Megid leaders. Saber took out his Storm Eagle and Saiyuu Journey books and place them in his driver. Both Blades and Aqua dodged Zooous and blocked both Storious and Legeiel. "You got this, Surge and Rarity!" Both Pinkie Pies cheered. Both riders blocked Storious and Legeiel as they try to strike them and knocked them back. They both are doing well as they dodged, counter attack, and/or strike the three Megid leaders. Saber in his Crimson Dragon combo and Ember in her Dragonic Paladin form charged and took flight. Ember did know that human Spike hold on to her as the two took flight. Buster took out the Bread no Rock Band book and scan it with his sword. As did Kenzan with the Jackun-to-Domamenoki book and Slash with the Kobuta 3Kyoudai book. Bremen no Rock Band Jackun-to-Domamenoki Kobuta 3Kyoudai Drake and the other paladins place their swords in their holders and press the button on the handle of the swords as each rider perpar to strike. Blades and Aqua moved out of the way after they pushed Legeiel back. Then each rider slashed their swords. Gekido: Hayate: Suzune: Recital Strike! They unslot of slashes strike the three Megid leaders and exploded. The three leaders were on the ground as both Blades and Aqua were behind them. "We will stay true to our convictions!" Blades declared. "And we will stop you no matter what!" Aqua said. Storious looked at the two as Blades pushed a switch on top of his book and Aqua turned a knob on her's and the two books that had riders on them turned into lions. The Roaring Current! When the two books roar like lions, so did Blades and Aqua. ~King Lion Royal Change! Now is your time to become the lion! Both Blades and Aqua transformed into lions. How Aqua transformed into a lion is her blasters went to her back and the two lioness heads combined to one and she look like a female lion. "Whoa! They turned into lions?!" The CMCs asked in amazement. The two lions charged at the three Megid leaders and strike both Legeiel and Zooous to be sent flying. Storious was then carried by both lions and send flying to the sky with the other two. The two lions then aim at the purple pillar of light and fire at it with the blasters on their backs and destroyed it. Both Saber and Ember flew to the book in the sky with Spike holding on to Ember as they flew to it before it closed. The riders on the ground cheered for them as did the ponies from Equestria. The three made it through before the book closed. Now leaves the only two questions, what will they find on the other side? And who will win? The Story Continue > Volume 1, chapter 15: What lies, beyond our resolve. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to inside Tassel's house, where Tassel himself looks at you. "My friends..." Tassel started. "I can't take my eyes off of Flash, Twilight, or the others doing their best to save the world!" Tassel sounded exciting as he opened the book in his hands and we see what happened in the last chapter. "The fallen Calibur has risen once again and the door to great power has finally been opened," Tassel explained as we see Calibur be revived from his sword and all six pillars of light open up the door. We then see ponies from Equestria appeared next to their human counterparts and we then see Saber in his Crimson Dragon combo and Ember in her Dragonic Paladin form with Spike holding on to Ember as they flew into the book in the sky before it closed. "Flash, Twilight, and Spike chased after Calibur into the enormous book!" "What will happen next?" Tassel asked as a book from the bookshelf fly out and opened itself as we are pulled in the next chapter. We see Saber and Ember chase after Calibur who is the far head. They noticed that the vortex they are in show them images from the past. "Are we going back through time?" Spike asked, getting both Saber's and Ember's attention. "Spike?!" Ember shouted in shock to see him here. "What are you doing here?!" "I just didn't want to sit by and wait," Spike said. "What if you never come back from this?" "Even so, you should have stayed with the others!" Ember told Spike. "Just hold tight and don't let go! Where ever we heading, we need to stop Calibur from getting whatever is at the end of this!" "I just hope we get out of this alive!" Sprit shouted from Spike's pocket. She was in there since the start. Back with riders and the others. They saw the book is still in the sky even with one of the pillars of light gone. "What's happening?" Pony Velvet asked. Shining Armor who is still Drake is feeling sorta happy to see his mom and dad, even if they're ponies. "Wait, where's the the me from here?" Spike the dragon asked as he noticed his other him is gone. "He must have held to one of them when they flew into that book." Princess Twilight said. "What is even on the other side of that door?" "I see Saber and his paladin made their way in there as well," Storious said as he and the other two regroup near the riders. The riders and main six saw them and took a defensive stance. "Only the one who obtains the eternal truth can return." "What?!" Blades asked as he and the others are shocked to hear that part. "No way..." Sunset said as she is afraid that if Calibur gets this "eternal truth" Flash, Twilight, Spike, and Sprit may never come back. "We demand that you tell us where that book connected to!" Alicorn Luna shouted at the three Megid leaders. "An infinite and eternal realm," Storious answered. "Within it lies the great power, the origin of knowledge." The three leaders then slashed a power wave of power at the riders and pony Shining Armor barrier to protect them. But the slashes broke through and hit the riders. Buster, Quake, Kenzan, Whirlwind, Slash, Reverb, and Drake transformed out of their rider forms as they fell to their knees. Storious then shot both Blades and Aqua and they transformed out of their rider forms as they fell to the ground. Their pony counterparts went over to their human selves and the swordsmen to see if they are alright. The Megid Leaders went back to their human forms as they laughed at the riders. "The book that created the worlds long ago is finally within reach," Calibur said within the vortex with the two riders following behind. At the end of it is a golden book. "The original of all knowledge." "What do you mean by the original of knowledge?" Princess Twilight asked as she and her friends help the riders up. "The Table of Revelations," Storious told them. "The omniscient and omnipotent book's table of contents. The only remaining page of what scattered into pieces 2,000 years ago. The Table of Revelation and its contents..." They listen to Storious what he is telling them. "...lies at the end of their destination." "That lost book contains records of all knowledge, ranging from the world's beginning to its end," Calibur said as he continue through the vortex to the Table of Revelation. "Everything you humans and every creaters from Equestria has obtained..." Storious continue to tell the riders and the ponies. "...is but a mere fraction of the power of that book." Each and everyone of them was shocked to hear that the Table of Revelations is much more powerful than it seems to be. "Knowledge is power," Calibur said. "The Table of Revelations is mine. When all of the scattered pages worldwide are gathered, the omniscient and omnipotent book will be revived, and I will obtain absolute power equivalent to even a god!" "What do you intend on doing with that power?!" Beat asked before Zooous grabbed and picked her up by the jacket. "We'll remake both this world and Equestria," Zooous answered her. He pushed her then flipped kicked her in the face and to the ground. "Please, stand back." Surge asked the ponies, Sunset, the CMCs, the retired princesses, and the principles as he and human Applejack stood up and charged at Zooous. Zooous back flipped and kicked both Applejack and Suge back. Surge tries to punch Zooous while Applejack just to kick him, but Zooous dodged both of them and spin kicked Surge and Applejack in the face and to the ground. "Into a form, we find beautiful and appropriate," Legeiel said. Wind and Rainbow Dash try to attack him, but he dodged both of them and punch them in the face. When Terra tries to swing his sword at Legeiel. Legeiel dodged his attack and punch Terra in the stomach a few times. Wind try to get him again, but Legeiel punched her in the stomach when she came close. "It might be hell for you humans, ponies, and any other creatur though!" He said as he grabbed Wind by the back and kneed her in the stomach before he punched her in the air and a few feet back and to the ground. "What a load of bull!" Terra shouted as he grabbed and hold Legeiel from behind. "We ain't letting that happen!" Legeiel elbow Terra in the gut and then kicked him to the ground. "We won't let you do anything to this world of ours!" Twilight shouted as she and the other three alicorns fire magic beams at Storious. Only for him to gather all four beams into a ball of magic with one hand and fire it back at them. "We'll protect the world we all live in..." Surge said as he got up from the ground. "That's what we promised Arabia and Velvet!" He charged at Storious. "My strength will stop you in your tracks!" Wind shouted when she got up and charged at Storious. Storious dogged each of Surge's punches then hit him in the back. Then Wind came charging in only for Storious to punch her in the stomach and throw her to the ground. Surge try to get a punch in only for Storious to block him and push him back. Wind swung her sword to try and strike Storious, only Storious transformed into his Megid form and grabbed both of them by the throat. "I won't let you get in the way." Storious told the two. Back in the vortex to the Table of Revelations. Saber took out his Saiyuu Journey book and place in the King of Arthur Ride Book and draw out his sword. Unsheathe the Flame! Extra Volume, King Arthur The giant worrier came out as both Saber and Ember try to catch up to Calibur. "We won't let you have that power! We'll protect the world!" Saber shouted as he, Ember, and the giant worrier slashed their swords at Calibur. King Slash! Extra Volume The slashes broke the vortex stream and Calibur fell to some place that is unrecognizable. Back with riders. They all fell to the ground by the three Megid leaders. "Surge..." Beat whispered to him. "We'll take care of these guys." "You and Rarity go and destroy the remaining pillars!" Terra told Surge as they struggle to get up. "I understand!" Surge said as he took out his Sword driver as they all got ready to transform. "Oh, do you?" Storious asked. "If you close that book, you also close Saber's and his paladin's only way home." "What?!" Terra asked when Storious told them that. Meanwhile in a forest somewhere. Saber and Ember were tossed to the ground by Calibur. Spike and Sprit were hiding behind some broken pillars of stone as Calibur landed on the ground. "I would've reached the eternal truth by now!" Saber got with Ember and draw out Arabia's sword from the hold on the side of his belt. Ikazuchi, Sword of Lightning He then gave Ember the sword. "You won't get past us!" Ember told Calibur as the two got ready to fight. "Then let me ask you..." Calibur said as he charged at Saber and Ember and clashed swords. "What would you do if the two worlds you're trying to save was created by someone else?" He asked as they fought. Both Saber and Ember were able to get a couple of strikes in. Calibur strike back and he blocked them with his sword and armor arm. "What if the ending of that world has already been written?" He asked as he pushed then back and slash both of them. "Would you still fight even then?!" He struck both of them back. "I..." Ember said as she and Saber thought about what he was asking them and figuring out how to answer Calibur. Calibur place his sword in his holder and press the button on the handle. Unleash the Shadow! Explicating Flash! "Those who lack resolve should just submit!" Calibur shouted as he draw out his sword as it is covered in darkness. He then send the darkness right at Saber and Ember. The darkness hit them and they both transformed back to Flash and Twilight as darkness covered them and both Rekka and Ikazuchi fell in the ground. The darkness then swallow them both. "NOOOO!!" Both Spike and Sprit shouted when they saw the darkness consumed both Flash and Twilight. Calibur transformed back to Night Light after they were gone. Back with the others. They are getting beat up by the Megid leaders. "Will you choose your friends, or the world?" Legeiel asked as he beat up Terra and both Applejacks. Both Terra and both Applejacks rolled on the ground when Legeiel threw them down. Terra struggle as he hold his main Wonder Ride Book and transform. "It may already be too late though!" Zooous said as he beat up Beat and Shining Armor. Storious knock away Wind and both Rainbow Dashs and punch Surge in the stomach. When Wind try to strike him with her sword, Storious dodged it and strike her back. Surge try to get an attack in, but he knocked him back. Pony Rainbow Dash try to get him, but he grabbed her by the tail and hit Wind when Wind try to strike him with her sword. The other were checking the alicorns to see if they were alright from when Storious rebounded their magic. Both Princess Twilight and Flash Sentry felt a chill in them, as if something happen to them, or something happened to their human counterparts. Sunset looked at the book in the sky and hope that Flash and Twilight are okay. "Flash, Twilight..." She said to herself. With Flash and Twilight. They are surrounded by darkness and felt nothing but cold from the darkness. "Someone created the two worlds...?" Flash asked. The two remember what Arabia asked them to do and that is to protect the world we all live in. "Does that mean that Arabia's and mom's death had already been set in stone?!" Twilight asked sounding upset. "And we couldn't change anything..." The darkness started get to them "We couldn't save anything..." Flash said as he started doubt himself. Each of the riders were blown by Storious, Legeiel, and Zooous. Each of them were in pain from the beat up the got from the Megid leaders and they can't transform because of what they told them. Sunset couldn't stand to look at this anymore even if now she is back to her unicorn form and not a paladin, this is still her home. Sunset then trotted over to the riders. "Chin up, all of you!" Sunset shouted. She got the attention of each rider. "Both this world's Flash and Twilight will come back. They promised us they would. Surge, don't you remember our promise?" When Sunset asked that, Surge does remember the he made with Flash, Arabia, and the girls. "I believe in them. Flash is the kind of guy who always helps others no matter what. And Twilight is the kind of girl who always keeps her promises." Each of them were inspired by what Sunset told them and they remember what they are fighting for. Back in the darkness with Flash and Twilight, Arabia's sprit appeared infront of them. "Flash. Twilight. " Arabia got their attention. "Arabia...?" Both Flash and Twilight asked when they saw her. "There's something you have to do, isn't there?" Arabia asked before her spirit vanished and became a bright light and a way out for the two. "That's right..." Twilight said as she and Flash hold hands and smile when they saw the light. "Thanks, Arabia." "Even if the future has already been written..." Flash said. "We'll protect our world alongside our friends!" He shouted as they reach for the light. Night Light walked towards the two swords that are in the ground while Spike and Sprit try to pull the swords out. Night was about to take Arabia's sword till two hands grabbed the two swords first. Night Light step back from surprise when the hands grabbed the swords. Spike and Sprit couldn't tell who the two people are who grabbed the swords because they're covered in light. When the light die down, it revel it is Flash who grabbed his sword while Twilight grabbed Arabia's sword. They both yanked out both swords from the ground and is ready to fight. Both Spike and Sprit were happy to see that they are alright. "They are currently fighting Calibur on their own..." Surge said. "Yeah..." Terra said. "We'll protect the world together!" He shouted as he is getting up from the ground. The others agree as they got up from the ground. They all stood up and took out their Wounder Ride Books. Lion Senki Wonder Paladin Genbu Shinwa Wonder Paladin Sarutobi Ninjaden Wonder Paladin Hanselnuts to Gretel Wonder Paladin Wonder Paladin They each place their books in their transformation devices and they open their books with these devices. Unsheathe the Current! Paladin Stand! Fracture the Enemy! Paladin Stand! Split the Twin Blades! Paladin Stand! Jam With the Bayonet! Paladin Stand! Paladin Stand! "Henshin!"

The three Megid leaders charged as did the riders at each other. Back with Flash, Twilight, Spike, Sprit, and Night Light. Night Light was surprise to see the two are still alive. "Impossible..." Night Light said. "The darkness should have consumed you both!" "Arabia..." Twilight said as she looked at her late friend's sword. "Our friend saved us!" "Your friend?" Night Light asked. Buster and Quake brought their swords down on Legeiel and damage him. Applejack bucked him from behind. When Legeiel swung his sword at Buster, Buster blocked and counter attack. Slash and Reverb took on Zooous said they slash their swords down on him. When he to strike them, they blocked his attack and made him stumble forward. They then struck him when he try to charge at them. Both Buster and Slash took the books in their swords and scan them for the finisher. Genbu Shinwa Gekido: Chunking Strike! Ka-bam! Hanselnuts to Gretel Suzune: Recital Strike! Yay! "Grande Revolution!" Both Buster and Quake shouted as they brought their swords down on Legeiel. "Snack on the Chopper!" Both Slash and Reverb declared as they struck Zooous. Kenzan, Whirlwind, Blades, Aqua, and Drake charged at Storious and they clashed blades with him. Both Blades and Aqua strike him on the side as Kenzan and Whirlwind clashed his blade down. Drake then blocked Storious attack with his sword, letting Kenzan and Whirlwind to strike him. Then all five of them strike at the same time. Blades then closed the book in his driver as did Kenzan with her's and scan them with their swords. Lion Senki hmm, hmm... Sarutobi Ninjaden Nin nin! Hayate: Skimming Strike! Nin nin! "Wind Blade Dance: Duet!" Kenzan declared as she, Blades, and the three paladins send slash waves at Storious and he rolled on the ground. "Not bad..." Storious said as he got up. "Give it your all, Surge and Rarity!" Both Pinkie Pies cheered. "Leave it to us!" Blades shouted when he looked at the two Pinkie Pies. Blades place his sword back in the driver and took out his book from it. As did Aqua with her book, then the two took out the King Lion Daisenki and Daisenki Lioness Paladin. King Lion Surpassing nature, the blue mane enrobed in armor roars upon the throne. They both place them in their drivers and Blades draw out his sword as Aqua pressed the button on her's to open up the books up and they transformed into their Upgrade forms. Unsheathe the Current! Paladin Stand! RHYMING! RISING! RIDER! ~All hail the king of beasts! Rising! Lifull! King Lion Daisenki! Blades flipped the switch on his book, as Aqua turned the dial on her's to switch to their lion modes. Now is your time to become the lion! Special hmm, hmm, hmmmm! Concluding Flash! Both lions took their swords in their mouths as they flew towards the pillars of light. "King/Queen Lion Great Nature!" Both Blades and Aqua declared as they destroyed the pink pillar of light. That cause the book in the sky to bring it closer to closing. Back with Flash and Twilight. They stood infront of Spike and Sprit to keep them safe as they looked at Night Light with stern looks. "Very well." Night Light said. "I'll tell you what happened 12 years ago." Flash, Twilight, Spike, and Sprit paid attention as Night Light explained what happened 12 years ago. "To me, the battle 12 years ago..." Night Light started. "...was a battle to save the world, my family, and my friend. Arabia's uncle, Sombra Drak..." He reached in he coat and pulled out a photo. The photo of him, Twilight Velvet, Sophia, Sombra, the woman with dark black skin and goop green dress, and the man with red skin and white hair and gottie. Along with Arabia's father. We then get a flashback of Night Light and Sombra around Flash's age training together. "He was both an ally, and a friend. We'd spar against each other..." We then see the two with the people in the photo as young teens and Terra there as well. Along with a per teen Beat with a man with magenta skin and fire red hair. "Get mad at each other, laugh with each other..." We see Night Light messing with Terra and everyone in the room at the Northern Base laughing. "At least, until the day he and his two paladins betrayed us." We then see Sombra, with the man with red skin and the woman with dark black skin just as Night Light as Saber and Velvet as G.Ember ran up to them. "Sombra! Tirek! Chrysalis! What are you planning on doing?!" Saber asked. "We know you have been working with the Megid, so talk!" G.Ember demanded. "This girl, Star is a unique being who can connect all three worlds together." Sombra told Saber. "What?" Saber asked, wondering what he meant. "And it's thanks to this girl, we will obtain the universal truth that lies within those worlds." Chrysalis said. "And if you plan to stop us, then you should have brought more on your side." Tirek told Saber as Sombra hold the Sword of Shadows and scan the Jaaku Dragon book with it. Tirek and Chrysalis took out their own Wonder Paladin Ride Books with Calibur on the cover and place them in their Paladin Drivers. Darkened Read Sombra then pressed the button on his Calibur Driver with his sword, just as Tirek and Chrysalis press the button on the their drivers and their books opened up. "Henshin." All three said as they transformed into their rider forms. Sombra transformed into Kamen Rider Calibur, while Tirek and Chrysalis transformed into armors that look similar to Calibur's only without the blade on top of the helmets. Their book chest plate is black with Calibur's symbol on them and with gold streaks on their sides and up the arms and legs. Their swords has purple stones in the guards of the swords and the blades are dark purple. Kurayami, Sword of Shadows! ~Get go under conquer than get keen! Jaaku Dragon! ~Wonder Paladin! "We won't let anyone get in our way." Calibur said as he and his two paladins charged at Saber at clashed blades. They each swung their swords at Saber and G.Ember as they dodged their attacks. "Open your eyes!" Saber shouted. "You three are making a mistake!" After he got struck by all three he swung his sword at Calibur as Calibur dodged Saber's attack. "We took an outh to protect the world order!" G.Ember shouted as she clashed blades with Tirek and Chrysalis. "This is all for saving the world!" Calibur told Saber as both Tirek and Chrysalis slashed both of them to the ground. "This is the path we must take for the sake of true peace!" Calibur shouted as he clashed blades with Saber. He and his two paladins struck both Saber and G.Ember a few times. "That is what we have been told!" Just then young Twilight, Star, and Shining came just as the five were fighting. "Ah, look who's here!" Chrysalis pointed to the three kids just as the Megid attack. "No! You stay away from them!" G.Ember shouted as she clashed blades with Chrysalis. Tirek hold Saber as Calibur walked up close to the kids and slashed his sword to create a vrotex to the giant white book in the sky. Just like in Twilight's dreams, she was holding on to her friend as Shining was holding on to a lamppost as the vortex suck in Star. "No!" Both Saber and G.Ember shouted before Tirek and Chrysalis strike both of them in the back and they transformed back to Night Light and Twilight Velvet and fell to the ground. They can hear t heir daughter and her friend call out to each other as they try to hold on to each other. When they lost their grip, Star was sucked into the vortex. "Twilight! Shining!" Velvet cried out as she and Night Light got up and ran to their kids. Calibur charged at Night Light and the two clashed blades. Night saw a bunch of Megid getting close, so he scan his Brave Dragon book with his sword and slashed his sword to hit Calibur and the two Paladins back and blocked them from getting close to his kids. Calibur and his two paladins fell to the ground and transformed out of their rider forms. As Night Light fought the Megids, Velvet check her kids to see if they are alright. When Velvet comfort her daughter and Night Light was kneeling as the is tired from keeping the Megid, he knew what he had to do. "Velvet, it's not safe here! Take care of our kids and be safe!" Night Light yelled out before he raised the sword. Velvet knew what he was going to do. Before she could stop him, he stabbed the ground and a red dragon appeared as the flames grew bigger and a vortex opened up and his family was being pulled into it as Twilight called out to her father. Sombra, Tirek, and Chrysalis took cover when this happen. As the vortex to his family to safety, young Twilight blackout and the Brave Dragon book appeared in her hand. Sombra and his two paladins stood up and face Night Light. "Why did you get in our way?" Sombra asked. "This is the only way to save the world!" Sombra charged at Night Light with sword in hand as he is furious. "It was then that I realized..." Present Night Light said. "What corrupted Sombra and his two paladins..." Flash and the other three listen to why Sombra and his two paladins did what they did. "...was the Sword of Logos." When he said that, they got confused by that. Back in the flashback. Sombra swung his sword down just as Night Light spun around to dodged his attack. He then struck Sombra with his sword and Sombra fell to the ground lifeless. We then see Night Light holding the Sword of Shadows as he pointed at Tierk and Chrysalis. They then left without saying a word to him. "That was when I made my resolve." Night Light told the the four infront of him. The past Night Light then took the mantle of Calibur. "I left the guild and carried the burden of our sins all on my own..." Present Night Light said as he hold up his Jaou Dragon book and open the cover. Jaou Dragon Unleashed the power concealed by innumerable dragons within the zenith of eternal darkness. "Even if I had to ally with the Megid..." Night Light said. "I had a duty to expose who turned my friend into a demon. A duty to reveal the truth." He then closed the book and scanned it with his sword. Tyrannical Read Kurayami, Sword of Shadows! He then placed the book in his Calibur Drive, then pressed the button on top of the driver with his sword and the book open up. "Henshin!" Night Light shouted as he slashed his sword and he transformed into Kamen Rider Calibur, Jaou Dragon form. Jaou Dragon There is no escape... Calibur then charged at Flash and Twilight as they quickly transform into their rider forms. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! ~Brave Dragon! ~Wonder Paladin! Spike and Sprit took cover as the three riders fight. "I sought the same universal truth that Sombra did." Calibur said as he clashed blades with Saber and Ember. He got a hit in at Saber before Ember use both her sword and Arabia's sword to blocked another attack. "I needed the power to both discover the true enemy hiding within the guild and to defeat them!" Both Saber and Ember got a hit in with their swords. "Man, he makes it sound like who ever he is talking about sound really powerful." Sprit said as she and Spike watched the fight behind a tree. Calibur pind Saber and Ember to a tree and started to beat them, before Ember kicked him off them. "You'd sacrifice the city, its people, and even mom and Arabia for that?" Ember asked as she and Saber swung their swords at him. Calibur blocked Ember's attack as he caught Saber's. "Exactly!" Calibur shouted. "That is the resolve I believe in!" He pushed Saber's sword back and struck both of them with his. The two fell to the ground and quickly got back up. Saber then placed his sword back in the driver and took out the King of Arthur book. "You're mistaken!" Saber said as he placed the book in his driver and draw out his sword. "That path won't lead you to hope!" He said as he and Ember walked towards Calibur. Unsheathe the Flame! When the two books synthesize, the hallowedblade is infused with power! ~Wonder Rider! "The only mistake I've ever made..." Calibur said as he, Saber, and Ember charged at each other. "...was saving you, Shining, and Velvet 12 years ago!" He said after they clashed blades with each other. Back with the others. Kenzan and Whirlwind kicked Storious back before Kenzan took out the Jackun-to-Domamenoki book. "Use this!" Kenzan shouted as she throw the book to Blades. "All right!" Blades said as he caught the book. He then opened the mouth of his King Lion Booster place the book in it. Jackun-to-Domamenoki King Lion Booster! One Reading! Buste, Quake, and Drake knocked Legeiel back before Buster took out the Bremen no Rock Band book. "Heads up!" Buster shouted as he threw the book to Blades. "Yes!" Blades said as he caught the book and place it in the booster. Bremen no Rock Band Two Reading! After Slash and Reverb slash Zooous back Slash took out the Kobuta 3Kyoudai book. "Blades!" Slash called out as she threw the book to him. "Understood!" Blades said as he caught the book and like the other two, he place it in the booster. Kobuta 3Kyoudai Three Reading! Lionic Burst! Blades then took aim with the cannons on his shoulders. "Lionic Burst!" Buster shouted as he blasts the red pillar of light and destroy it. Back with the fight with Saber and Ember agenst Calibur. Calibur struck both Saber and Ember before he send dark slash waves at them. They jumped back before one slash hit them. From the flames from the hit Saber switched to his Crimson Dragon combo and carried Ember out from the flame and at Calibur. Unsheathe the Flame! ~The Mythical Beast passed down through the ages answers by the name of... Crimson Dragon! "You had friends 12 years ago!" Ember told Calibur as she and Saber clashed blades with him. Saber spin kicked Calibur while Ember slashed him with the two swords. "If you believed in and joined forces with them, your future wouldn't been different!" Calibur try strike Saber at the legs, but Saber jumped and flipped over him. He then jumped off a tree and struck Calibur when he flew towards him. "The world isn't to simple!" Calibur told them after he stepped back. Saber draw out his sword after he placed it in his driver and press the button on the handle for his finisher. Ember draw out both swords from her two holders after she prssed the buttons on the handles. Unsheathe the Flame! Final Page! Dragon Eagle J to the West Three Volume Slash! F-F-F-FIRE! "Bursting Crimson Slash!" Both Saber and Ember declared as they charged at Calibur. Calibur charged at them as well with his sword cover in darkness. The three clashed blades before Saber and Ember went behind him and shot multiple fire balls at Calibur. Calibur was thrown back by the multiple shots and fell to the ground. Back with the others. Blades took the three books he has and place them in his booster. Tenkuu no Pegasus One Reading! Lion Senki Two Reading! Peter Fantasista Three Reading! He then press the button on the handle of the booster. Burst! Lionic Burst! Aqua put her sword in her holder on the side of her belt and press the button on the handle and power up the arm commons. "Lionic Burst!" They both declared as they shot the blue pillar of light. "All right, just two more! You can do this, Surge and Rarity!" Both Pinkie Pies cheered as Shining kept the rest of the group safe with his shield spell. Back with Saber and Ember, they both took out their Dragonic books out and open the covers. Dragonic Knight! Dragonic Paladin! In other words, they evolves to a higher class of knighthood! They closed the books and place them in their drivers. Saber then draw out his sword as Ember pushed the button on her driver and their books opened up for them to switch to their Upgrade forms. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! Don't miss it! The Metallic Armor! The Stylistic Booster! The Dauntless Rider! ~The knight appears! When you side, you have no grief and the flames is bright! Ride on, dragon! Fight! Dragonic Knight!

"We are gonna fight you in our own way!" Saber shouted before he jumped high in the air and ride on Brave the dragon. "You two wait here!" Ember told Spike and Sprit before she sprouted dragon wings and flew high in the air with Saber. Calibur on a Jaaku Dragon clashed blades when they flew pass each other. The other four dragons follow Saber and Ember as they flew higher in the air and the dragons shot at them. "We'll protect the world alongside our friends!" Ember shouted as they flew at Calibur and clashed blades again when they flew by him. The two dragons then flew at each other with Saber on Brave and Calibur on Jaaku Dragon with Ember flying besides Saber. They clashed blades again when they flew pass each other.

Calibur on the Jaaku Dragon flew at Saber and clashed blades while they ride their dragons. The dragons got some distance from each other as Saber tap the cover of the book once and the book glowed. Ember hover next to Saber and Brave as she tap the cover of her book and it glowed. Calibur closed the book in his driver before he pressed the button on the driver gor the finisher. Final Dragonic Page! Final Tyrannical Page! The two riders jumped off their dragons as Ember flew higher next to Saber. After the tap the covers of their books they charged at Calibur with rider kicks. Dragonic Ending Strike! "Divine Dragon Steel Bullet!" Both Saber and Ember declared as they did their rider kick. Tyrannical Ending Strike! Calibur did his own rider kick at both Saber and Ember. The kicks soon collided with each other and they try to get one over of the other. "This is pointless!" Calibur told the two. "The world's end has already been written!" "We don't care if the the end of the world has been written," Saber told Calibur. "we determine how this story ends!" With that, both him and Ember put more into their kick and burst through Calibur's, causing him to fall. Ember then use Arabia's sword and scanned Saber's Dragonic Booster with the sword. As Saber place his sword back in the driver and press the button on the handle for the finisher. Special hmm, hmm, hmmmm! Unsheathe the Flame! Concluding Flash! Dragonic Ending Slash! "Blazing Revolution!" Both Saber and Ember declared as their swords glowed bright as they came down. Behind them is a golden sprite of Espada as they slashed their swords right Calibur. Calibur got hit by the slashes and crashed into the ground and he transformed back to Night Light and the sword along with the two books fell to the ground a few feet away from him. Flash and Twilight landed on the ground as Spike and Sprit went over to them. "You did it! You beat him!" Sprit shouted as she flew to Twilight and hugged Twilight's face. Twilight then looked at her father while he got up from the ground. "So this is your resolve...?" Night Light asked his daughter and her boyfriend as he struggled to got up. "It is." Twilight answered him. "Was I wrong, then?" Night Light asked. All three of them were struggling to stand as they used too much power. "Would I have been able to take a different path had I done as you said... And believed in my friends...?" "Dad..." Twilight said as she looked at Night Light. "Mr. Light..." Flash said. "Twilight Sparkle, Flash Sentry..." Night Light said as he looked at the four. "Seek out the truth in my stead!" "Us?" Flash asked, not understanding what he is asking. "Yes. You need to find the culprit..." Night Light said. "The one who betrayed the guild. If you can uncover who that is..." He looked at Twilight. "I'm sure you can also find Star as well when Sombra had her swallowed by the book." "You're saying if we find the guy, we also find Twilight's lost friend?" Spike asked. "Are you being serious, dad?!" Twilight asked. "I am, but the path ahead will be a treacherous one." Night Light told them. "You may end up having to sacrifice others..." There is a bit of sadness in his voice when he said that. "Including your allies..." He was then struck in the chest from behind with a sword. Twilight, Flash, Spike, and Sprit eyes widen when they saw Night Light got struck with the sword. He then fell to the ground as his life was taken by the one who took it, Desast. "DAD!!" Twilight called out to her father. She then charged at Desast and try to strike him, but she was weak from the the fight that Desast easy pushed her back and into Flash's arms. "I'll be taking this back." Desast said as he walked over to Night Light and took the book he was trapped in from Night Light. "At long last, I am free." He said before he walked away. "Dad!" Twilight called out as she, Flash, Spike, and Sprit went over to Night Light. "I entrust Kurayami, Sword of Shadows to you..." Night Light told Flash when he looked at him. Flash looked at the sword, not to far from where they are before looking back at Night Light. "I'm sure it will be of use to you..." He then looked at Twilight. "And my little Twilight..." He began to cry. "I'm so sorry..." He said with his last breath before his life left him. Twilight couldn't believe that she lost her father right infront of her. Spike saw the photo Night dropped when Desast killed him and picked it up. "In the end, both you and Sombra were looking for the same thing, weren't you?" Flash asked as he and the others saw the photo. Just then, a gust of wind was blowing around the Sword of Shadows and the two books on ground before all three vanished. "Where'd they go?" Sprit asked. Then they noticed the place being torn apart as a sign that the door is closing. Back in the real world. Both Blades and Aqua scan the booster with their swords. Special hmm, hmm, hmmmm! "In the name of Nagare, Sword of Currents..." Blades started. "I will keep the balance of the world!" He declared. "With dazzle and flar, I will do what I can to protect my friends!" Aqua declared as they jumped high in the air. Concluding Flash! "Lionel Soul Splash!" Both Blades and Aqua declared as they slash their swords to send a wave of water at the last pillar of light and destroy it. Storious knocked both Kenzan and Whirlwind back with his sword. "It appears our plan has failed, but it is of no consequence." He said before he left and the other two left. With the last pillar of light gone, the ponies started to vanish as they are being returned back to Equestria. They each wish the riders good luck on defending the peace before they returned home. And since Sunset was here to begin with, she returned back to her human form. Both Surge and Rarity were tired from the fight as Rainbow Dash and Applejack carried them. They all looked up at the giant white book in the sky and hope that Flash, Twilight, Spike, and Sprit will come back before the book closes. "They will definitely come back." Sunset reasure the others. Just as the book closed completely Saber and Ember who is carrying Spike while Sprit flew down from the book. "They actually came back!" Wind shouted when she saw them. They all are relieved to see them alright. When they landed, Saber and Ember transformed back to Flash and Twilight. They saw their friends as they ran over to them. "Welcome back you two." Shining said. "Thanks." Twilight said with a smile on her face but not sounding happy. She, Flash, Spike, and Sprit looked to the sky. "Arabia..." Twilight said. "We all manage to protect this world together." Flash said as he wrapped his arm around Twilight. From around a corner. The woman from the Southern Base saw the hole thing happen as she cross her arms. She then gave a smile as if the person who send her here has her plan is coming together. We then returned back to Tassel's house with Tassel himself talking. "Flash, Twilight, and friends have saved the world..." Tassel said as the cloaked woman from the white void walked up to him. When Tassel looked at her, she shook her head no. That gave Tassel a scared looked on his face. "But things don't look like they're over quite yet." He told you. The Story Continue > Volume 1, chapter 16: The streak of light, that will save the world > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open inside of Tassel's house where we see Tassel and the cloaked woman there. When Tassel sees you, he smiles. "Bonne lecture, my friends!" He said. "I'm currently very astonished. Why, you ask?" He then opened a book and we see what happened in the last. "Flash, Twilight, and friends were able to save the world from great peril." Tassel explained as we see Blades and Aqua destroying a pillar of light and then see Saber and Ember delivering the final strike at Calibur. "A truly wonderful ending!" He said as we see the riders and the Main 7 looking up at the sky with smiles on their faces. "Or maybe not." Tassel said before he looked at the cloaked woman who nodded yes. Tassel then looks at you with a scared looked on his face. "I feel a new disturbance is about to emerge..." A book then fly out and opened up and we are pulled in the next chapter. We open to the Megid lar where Legeiel punched the air with anger. "Those cursed swordsmen, their paladins, and those Equestrians..." He said with anger in his voice. "How dare they ruin my plan?!" "How many times has it been now?" Zooous asked Legeiel with a smile on his face. He then walked close to Legeiel. "Your pride's now just a shell of its former self." "What'd you say to me?!" Legeiel shouted as he pushed Zooous off of him. "Now, now." Storious said to get the two's attention. "Yes, while your plan did fail..." He said to Legeiel. "It was most certainly a fruitful endeavor. As long as we gather the Sacred Swords and their respective books..." He said as he stood up. "The book of knowledge and power will be within our grasp..." "In order for our plan to proceed, we require the Sword of Light that was lost a thousand years ago." The woman from the Southern Base told the person on the other end of the Gatrike Phone in a room filled with books. "With Calibur out of the picture..." She continued. "The key now lies within both Saber and his paladin, Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle. I am sure they will lead us to the sword that stands opposite to the Sword of Darkness." She smiled at the thought of it. "Rock, paper, scissors!" Both Pinkie Pie and Stone are playing rock, paper, scissors and Stone choose scissors while Pinkie choose paper. The group returned back to Fantastic Books after they saved the world a few days ago and it was getting close to a new year. "I still can't believe this year is almost over." Pinkie Pie said. "Boy, have a lot of things happened." Applejack said as she took off her hat. "Sophia is still missing..." Sunset said. "And both Arabia and Velvet..." They all remember what happened to them. There is a bit of a silence in the room at just the thought of it. Then Surge designed to break the silence. "Oh, yes. If I recall, in the country of Japony has an old tradition of housekeeping at the end of the year." "Housekeeping?" The CMCs and Stone asked. "Is that difficult?" Wind asked. "Hey!" Twilight shouted. "He means cleaning the house. In the past, in Japony, it was a divine ritual meant to welcome the deity who watches over the new year." She explained. "Yes, yes, that!" Surge said. "Let us try it together!" "You mean you want us to do chores?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Cleaning the year's dirt off, huh?" Beat asked. "Heck, me and my family do that everyday." Applejack said. "This year was especially nasty, after all." Terra said. "There's nothing wrong to keeping it neat and tidy." Rarity said. "Yeah. Besides," Sprit flew to a bookshelf. "this place is dusty for a place called "Fantastic Books."" "Yeah, sounds fun!" Stone cheered. "I fell like I'm out voted, so I might as well help out." Rainbow Dash said. "It's also tradition to finish off with a Japony new year's soba." Celestia pointed out. "You mean the annual soba!" Surge said as he went over to Celestia. "I always wanted to try it at least once!" "Leave it to me!" Beat shouted as she looked through a small magnifying glass. "I'll make the most wonderful soba ever." "That settles it!" Terra shouted as he clapped his hands. "Let's all do some shopping tomorrow!" Everyone agreed to the idea and talk about what they are going to get when they go shopping for ingredients. The only ones who weren't in the talk is Flash, Twilight, Spike, and Sprit as they remember what Night Light asked of them before he died. He asked them to seek out the truth in his stead and look for the one who made Sombra betray the guild. "Are we really not going to tell them?" Spike whispered to Twilight and Flash. "No. If there is a mole in the guild, then whoever it is might hurt our friends as a warning to stop." Twilight whispered. "Are you three going to be fine though? You know, after what happened." Sprit whispered. "We should be fine. As long as we're with them." Flash told Sprit as they looked at their friends. Back in the Megid lar, the Megid leaders are talking about what to do next. "Thanks to the door that connected this world and Equestria to the Table of Revelations, many humans, ponies, and creatures from Equestria have been connected to the Wonder World." Storious told Zooous and Legeiel. Storious walked over to a painting that opened up to give him a big blank white book, the size of the Jaou Dragon book. "Now we can harness an alternate method..." Storious said as he took the blank book. "...of creating even stronger books." Somewhere in the city. A woman was bouncing her baby girl and having fun with her. "You laughing?" The woman asked her baby. "Hey, look at this!" She said to her husband who was staring at something into the sky. "What's daddy looking at all this time?" She asked as she walked over to him. He stop looking at the sky and looked at his wife. "Can't you see it?" He asked her. "There's a strange world in the sky." He said as he pointed at the sky and in the sky is Wonder World. In a building, a woman with bright yellow skin and fire orange hair looked saw Wonder World through a window. "There it is again..." She said to herself as she saw Wonder World. "You see it again too, huh Spitfire." Asked a guy with light blue skin and dark blue hair. "Soarin, Spitfire, what's up?" Asked Rainbow Dash as she walked over to them and looked out the window with them. "Whatcha lookin' at?" "It's nothing Crash." Spitfire told Rainbow Dash. "Say Crash, what have you been up these last few days?" "Oh uh, just hanging with my friends and all that. You know?" Rainbow answered sheepishly. "You know what I find weird?" Soarin asked. "A few days ago, I saw a pegasus that looked similar to me when I was walking home." "Yeah, same here." Spitfire said. "Whaat?" Rainbow asked. "Pegasus that look similar to you? That's just crazy!" "You should know all about that, Crash!" Said a teenager girls voice close by. Rainbow had an annoyed looked on her face as she turned and saw the source of the voice. The teen is about Rainbow Dash's age, she had bright greenish skin with lightning color hair and eyes. This is Lightning Dust, Rainbow's rival. "After all, we know the kinds of things you and your friends been doing since the Fall Formal. With all that magic mobo jumbo and crazy stuff like that. That freak Sunset really brings trouble with her." "Hey!" Rainbow shouted as she went up close to Lightning Dust's face. "Don't talk about my friend that way! And don't blame her for all that stuff, or the crazy things with parts of the city disappearing!" "Hey now you two!" Spitfire shouted as she pulled both Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust apart. "Knock it off! And Lightning Dust, you told us that you too saw a pegasus that looked similar to you that was wearing a black jumpsuit with a green lightning bolt on the sides." Rainbow Dash smirk at Lightning Dust when Spitfire reminded her. Just when she was about to leave, Lightning Dust caught a glimpse of Rainbow's Wonder Paladin Book in her bag just as Rainbow Dash was about to zip it up. "What's this?" Lightning Dust asked as quickly grabbed the book and looked at it. "Hey! It's nothing!" Rainbow shouted as she quickly grabbed her book back and ran out of the. Before she left, Spitfire, Soarin, and Lightning Dust caught a glimpse of Rainbow's Paladin Driver in her bag before she closed it. Both Spitfire and Soarin saw Lightning Dust with a smirk on her face as she followed Rainbow Dash. "We better make sure she does not try and fool around with Rainbow." Soarin told Spitfire who nodded in agreement. Before they left, Spitfire got one last look at Wonder World out the window and in the sky. As Rainbow Dash walked, a man was talking to himself. "No. I hate this world. The world over there looks... so beautiful." Rainbow stop and heard what the man said. "Weirdo alert...!" Rainbow said to herself before she kept on walking, with Lightning Dust following behind. Spitfire and Soarin followed Lightning Dust as she followed Rainbow Dash, they even heard what the man said and is surprise that the man can also see Wonder World. At Fantastic Books. Twilight and Flash were alone with Sprit as they thought about how are they going to find the truth like Night Light asked. They even thought about what he said about Sombra betray the guild because he was corrupted by someone within the Sword of Logos. "The true enemy is within the guild..." Twilight whispered. "The only question is, who is it?" Flash asked just as Spike came in with a orange dog in his arms. "Uh Spike. What's with the dog?" Sprit asked when she, Twilight, and Flash it. "Oh, I found her on the streets and thought she might be lonely." Spike answered. "And she kinda reminds me of me when I was a dog. I feed her some food and well we kinda bonded. I named her Smolder, because when I first saw her she gave me a smoldering look." After Spike explained the dog, the woman from the Southern Base came in. "I heard you two took care of Calibur." She said to both Flash and Twilight. "It's you. You're from the Southern Base..." Twilight said. "Ruby Mist." She told them her name. "But I prefer to be called Mist. I've come to scout you two." "Scout us?" Flash asked Mist. "Flash Sentry. Twilight Sparkle. We place great value on your strength." Mist told them. "Will you work as a swordsman and a paladin of the Southern Base from now on?" "Wait, you want Flash and Twilight to leave the Northern Base and go to the Southern Base?" Sprit asked Mist who nodded yes. "Thanks but we're good." Flash told Mist. "We'll stay and fight alongside our friends here at the Northern Base." Twilight told Mist. "I see. Well, I wish you the best." Mist said before she turned and left. "Well that was odd." Spike when Mist was gone. Later the rest of the main seven, Shining Armor and Cadence came back and was talking about their day. Rainbow Dash even brought up how Lightning Dust was insulting Sunset and everything. Fluttershy started to adore Smolder when she saw her. Sunset noticed that both Twilight and Flash weren't paying attention. "Hey, Flash and Twilight. Are you two okay?" She asked. "Didn't you both hear what I just said about Lightning Dust?" Rainbow asked the two. "Sorry, something was on our minds." Twilight said. Sunset could easily use her magic and look into their memories to see what's bothering them. But after everything that has happened, she decided to asked them. "Is it about your dad, Twilight?" Sunset asked. Both Flash and Twilight nodded yes to answer her. "He said that the true enemy is within the guild." Flash told them. "Really?" Shining asked when he looked at his sister, Spike, and Sprit who nodded yes. "If that's true, then..." "Is it okay to believe him just like that?" Rarity asked. "I mean, we all know what he did to your mother and Arabia..." "No matter the reason..." Twilight said. "What he did to mom, Arabia, and everyone else is unforgivable. He was in the wrong. But he told us something." Everyone else listen to what she is about to tell them. "Dad was constantly searching for the answer to the incident 12 years ago. With all the sins he had to bear..." She had sad tone. "Just like mom and Arabia." Shining said. "It's tragic, when you think about it." "That's why we want to uncover the truth." Flash said. "Doing so will help Twilight keep her promise to Arabia while we are protecting the world." Everyone nodded when Flash said that. Twilight saw the pop-up book next to her and picked it up. "Could that pop-up book have something to do with it too?" Fluttershy asked. "Star gave me this pop-up book." Twilight said as she opened the book and the Wonder World page popped up. "She was a mysterious girl who suddenly appeared before me and Sprit." She remembered the day she and Sprit first mate Star. A young Twilight and Sprit were sitting under a tree and reading a book, when a young Star walked up to the two. "I found you!" Star said. Young Twilight and Sprit looked up from the book and saw Star standing infront of them with a smile on her face and holding the pop-up book. "Who are you?" Young Sprit asked the young Star. "And what did you find?" Young Twilight asked. "My name is Star and I found you two, of course." She answered the two. The next thing they knew, they let her sit down with them and they looked at the pop-up book together. "Your mom writes some really cool stories, Twilight!" They laughed together as they enjoyed each others company. "It wasn't long before our childhood friend Arabia joined us." Twilight told her friends, boyfriend, and sister in law. We then see a young Arabia running up before waving to her friends. She soon joined them under the tree. "The four of us would often read books, write stories, play swordsmen, and talk about stuff. I wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world. But..." Twilight remember the day her friend was being sucked into the vortex and she lost her friend. "I swear to keep the promise I had forgotten about!" Twilight said. "Well, you're not going to be alone in this." Sunset told Twilight. "We can at least help you both. Do you have any leads?" None of them answered because they didn't know where to start. Then Twilight spoke up. "The omniscient and omnipotent book where the world's future has been written..." "Not to mention the true enemy within the guild..." Flash said. "There's just so much to uncover!" "Ooo! This is like a mistory game!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she was dressed in a detective outfit after she spun around. (It's Pinkie Pie, don't question it.) "It is sorta like that, Pinkie." Twilight said. "But I know what we must do. We find those answers with Surge and the others. The 12 year old truth." Little did they know, Lightning Dust was listening on them and heard everything they were talking about the guild and about finding some true enemy. While Lightning Dust was on one side on the outside of the bookshop, Spitfire and Soarin were on the other and they too heard everything. The next day Surge was at a lottery both while he went shopping for cleaning supplies and when he got something, Mist walked up to him. "Sophia has been captured by the Megid." She told him. "Is that true?" Surge asked in surprise by this info. "We've been ordered to convene at the Southern Base." Mist said. Somewhere in an unknown location. Sophia wakes saw that she is somewhere with a barrier around her. Later we see Beat coming down some stairs with Terra holding his son in his arm. "Soba! Soba!" Both Terra and Stone chant. They stop when they saw Mist. "I'm afraid that both Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle will betray the guild." Mist told the two riders. "What the heck are you talking about?" Terra asked as he put his son down. "Why would we believe that?" "I don't think they're the traitor types." Beat said. When Mist looked at her, Beat quickly put the bag she is holding infront of her face. "Did anyone predict that Sombra Dark and Night Light would betray us?" Mist asked. The two thought about it and they really didn't predict that Sombra and Night would betray them. "Only they entered the door to the Table of Revelations with Calibur. The boy and the fairy were just tag alongs. Those who come into contact with such power would be entranced to obtain it. It would continue the chain of betrayal." "A chain of betrayal..." Beat said as she thought it over. "Sombra Dark and Night Light sought power and betrayed the guild." Mist continue. "Both Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle has also come into contact with that very same power. No one knows what happened within the pages of that book." The two riders looked at each when she said that. Somewhere in the forest. A woman with camping gear is walking along a path as she stretch out her arms. "The great outdoors sure beats being in the messy city!" She said to herself. When she looked up at the sky, she can see Wonder World. "I can still see it... Whatever, I must be tired." She told herself as she continued on. "So once we tell the others what Night Light asked us, we can get on to find out who the enemy is." Flash said to the group. They along with Celestia, Luna, and the CMCs were caught up to speed and agree to help out. "Hey! Maybe we can be riders too!" Scootaloo shouted. "Maybe when you're older, kiddo." Rainbow Dash said as mess with Scootaloo's hair. "Flash. Twilight." Surge said as he, Wind, Terra, and Beat were up ahead. "Do you both mind handing over your Wonder Ride Books, Sacred Sword, and Paladin Driver?" Flash, Twilight, and the others were confused. "Wait, what's going on?" Flash asked as he noticed Surge, Wind, Terra, and Beat did not look happy. "Lady Sophia has been captured by the Megid." Surge said. "Wait what?!" Rainbow asked as she and the others were shocked to hear that. "Because of that, the swordsmen of the Northern Base now take orders from the Southern Base." Beat told them. "And what do Flash's sword, my driver, and our books have to do with it?" Twilight asked. "These are our orders from the Southern Base." Terra answered. "I do not want to do this either, so please continue to fight on our said." Surge asked. Both Flash and Twilight is not sure what's going on. Hiding not to far is Lightning Dust who's still followed them after what she just heard yesterday. She even spotted Spitfire and Soarin here as well. But she will talk to them later about this. "No, I'm afraid we can't do that." Flash said. "Why is that?" Surge asked. "Well, my dad told us something." Twilight said. "He told us that true enemy is within the guild." "What are you on about?" Wind asked. "You aren't making any sense!" "Your father was the traitor, remember?" Terra asked Twilight. "And he is the one who killed your mother and Arabia..." Surge said with a sad look at the memory. Everyone had one because of the memory of that day. "But we feel like we can trust his last words." Flash said. "Yeah, we made a promise to uncover the truth from 12 years ago..." Twilight said. "And find the one who sought power." "Power..." Terra said as he and Beat remember what Mist told them. "She was right..." "A chain of betrayal..." Beat said with pain in her voice as she shot both Flash and Twilight a look. "Boy! Girl!" Terra shouted at Flash and Twilight. "Hand over your sword, driver, and books at once!" "We're not going to!" Flash argued. "I promise Arabia that I would save Star." Twilight told them. "Flash will help me and we need the power of the Sacred Sword and Ride Books to fulfill that promise! "Think it over, you two." Terra said. "There's a limit to what you can do with just two. But with us on your side..." "We can't trust the Sword of Logos anymore!" Twilight shouted, interrupting Terra. Surge had a look of disbelief at what Twilight just said. "Are you kidding me?!" Wind shouted. "Your dad freakin' killed your mom and Arabia! If you're actually gonna believe him, then you're as much of traitors as he was! I'm gonna kick your butts!" She shouted as she took out her book. Sarutobi Ninjaden Lightning Dust, Spitfire, and Soarin watch as Wind place her Sarutobi Ninjaden book in her sword before she pulled the one sword into two. Split the Twin Blades! "Henshin!" Wind shouted as she slashed her swords and charged at both Flash and Twilight as she transformed into Kamen Rider Kenzan. ~Hayate, Sword of Zephyrs! Rainbow Dash use her magic and quickly got the CMCs, Sunset, Spike, Smolder, Celestia, Luna, and Cadence out of the way. Flash and Twilight dodged Kenzan's attack just in time. "This does not look good!" Sprit said on Sunset's shoulder. Lightning Dust, Spitfire, and Soarin were shocked to see one of the riders that saved the city are right here. When Kenzan went for another attack, both Flash and Twilight took out their books to block her attack. Brave Dragon Wonder Paladin They quickly put their books in their drivers and Flash draw out his sword while Twilight pressed the button on her driver. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! As flames covered Twilight, Flash slashed his and the slashes made Kenzan step back. "Henshin!" They both shouted and they transformed into Kamen Rider Saber and Ember. ~Brave Dragon! ~Wonder Paladin! Lightning Dust, Spitfire, and Soarin were in awe from seeing Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle transformed into Kamen Riders. The two riders clashed blades with Kenzan. "Listen to us!" Ember shouted as they try and hold Kenzan. "The guild might be trying to deceive you!" "I have had enough of this!" Surge shouted. "The guild wouldn't deceive us! They're the family who raised me!" He shouted at Ember with anger in his voice. Surge then took out his book. Lion Senki "Henshin!" Surge shouted as he place the book in his driver and draw out his sword to transform into Kamen Rider Blades and charged at both Saber and Ember. Unsheathe the Current! ~Lion Senki! Rarity took out her driver and book to transform into Kamen Rider Aqua. Paladin Stand! ~Wonder Paladin! Aqua clashed with Blades just before he could reach Saber and Ember. Aqua did her best to keep Blades back, but Blades pushed her back and Kenzan struck both Saber and Ember. Blades kicked Aqua back then struck Saber. "I hate fighting, but..." Beat said as she ready her sword. "We have no choice." Terra said as he and Beat took out their books. Genbu Shinwa Hanselnuts to Gretel "You are not going to hurt my sister!" Shining Armor shouted as he ready his book. "You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!" Rainbow shouted as she and the others ready their books. Wonder Paladin They all transformed into their rider forms. Terra into Kamen Rider Buster, Beat into Kamen Rider Slash, Applejack into Kamen Rider Quake, Rainbow Dash into Kamen Rider Whirlwind, and Fluttershy into Kamen Rider Reverb. Fracture the Enemy! ~Grumble, rumble! Gekido, Sword of Tremors! Jam With the Bayonet! ~Suzune, Sword of Echoes! ~Wonder Paladin! Each rider charged at each other. One side trying to get Saber and Ember while the others are trying to help them. Buster clashed with Quake and Drake, while Slash took on Reverb and Whirlwind. Aqua continue to fight Blades while Kenzan continue on to attack Saber and Ember. The paladins and Saber were doing their best as they try to hold their own. But the other riders are more experience, they were able to over power them. Buster quickly switch to the Jack-to-Domamenoki book and tie up the paladins in vienes. Then he clashed blades with Saber and Ember, slamming his sword into the ground with theirs. "Stay still and hand over your Ride Books!" Slash told the two as she try to reach for their books. Saber moved Buster quickly infront of them and jumped out of the way. Kenzan struck both of them to the ground. Ember pushed Kenzan off of them just as Blades went in for an attack. Saber blocked Blades's attack, causing them both to roll on the ground. When they both got up they clashed blades. "Why won't you listen to us?!" Blades asked. "Have you truly been entranced by the great power?!" "Entranced? What are you talking about?!" Saber asked. He then pushed Blades off him and got up. Slash try to get him from behind, but Ember blocked her attack. Each rider then ganged up on both of them. The paladins saw their friends in trouble and try to get free from the vines. "The messenger of the Southern Base told us what happens." Slash said. "That great power turns people into traitors!" Saber kick Blades back just as Ember did the same with Slash. They then spun around to move them away from them. "A messenger from the Southern Base?" Ember asked. Then they both knew they are talking about Ruby Mist. Ember just then thought of something about the Southern Base. "That's it! The traitor's in the Southern Base!" "Is that what you're going with?!" Kenzan asked before she charged and swung her swords at both Saber and Ember. The two blocked her attacks before she spin kicked them then struck them with her swords. They both fell to the ground by the attacks. Buster put his sword on his back as he walked to both Saber and Ember. "Do as you're told and go back to the lives you had before!" He told them. "We can't..." Ember said before the two struggle to get back up. "I'm keeping my promise. No matter what happens!" "And I'm staying by her side, no matter!" Saber shouted. "You're gonna get owned!" Kenzan shouted as she charged at the two. Saber and Ember blocked her attack and moved her aside. But she the kicked them into Buster, who grabbed both of them. Kenzan then slashed them both while Buster hold them. When she went for another attack, Saber and Ember got free from Buster's hold and Kenzan struck him instead. "Buster!" Slash said as she caught him when he stepped back from the attack. "Man, did both them and Night Light go through the same thing?!" Buster asked. "We have to stop Saber and Ember!" Slash shouted as she and Buster charged at them. Each time Saber or Ember blocked, dodged, or to their attacks, they thought to themselves that they don't want to fight them. For they are their friends. They did their best not to attack back against them, but with the others trapped in vienes they won't last much longer. Kenzan then slashed her swords and they both took a step back. "You're both too weak!" She shouted switch her sword to its Shuriken Mode, then took the book out of it to scan it. "Fight like you mean it!" She shouted as she jumped and threw her sword at them. Sarutobi Ninjaden Nin nin! Hayate: Skimming Strike! Nin nin! Her sword struck both of them a few times it send both flying to hit a wall and fall to the ground. Mist watched the hole thing as she is on her Gatriker Phone. "It has begun." She told who ever is on the other end. At the Megid lar, the three watch the riders fight both Saber and Ember through a bubble. "It's time for us to play our part." Storious said. "We must collect the lost pages of the Table of Revelations." He hold out the blank book. "Write us a new story, will you?" He asked Legeiel. Legeiel smile as he took the book from Storious. "Keep your eyes peeled." He told the two as he was walking out. Back with the fight. Both Saber and Ember looked up from the ground and saw that they are out match. Kenzan walked over to them and looked ready to end them. As she raised her sword both Sunset and Spike couldn't stand to watch anymore. "Please, no more!" Spike shouted as he and Sunset ran got infront of both Saber and Ember, ready to take the hit. "Spike! Sunset!" The paladins, the CMCs, Sprit, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Blades called out. Just before the sword could come close to hit them, a cloaked figure blocked it. Then the cloaked figure grabbed Kenzan's arm and pushed her back. The cloaked figure then spoke in a familiar voice that Saber, Ember, Spike, and Sprit recognized. "Sacred Swords are for protecting the peace of the world. Not for whatever this is." "Who are you?!" Sunset asked the cloaked figure. The cloaked figure then removed her hood to reveal her face. Her skin looked sliver while one eye is gold and the other one is sliver and her hair had a gold and sliver pattern and she looked to be the same age as Celestia. This woman then pulled out an odd looking driver and place it on her waist. Sacred Saikou Driver "I am the blade who protects the world." The woman answered. She then pulled out a Wonder Ride Book titled "Kin no Buki Gin no Buki." Kin no Buki Gin no Buki She then opened the book to reveal a short story within. Gold or sliver? She then closed the book and pulled the lever on the driver before placing the book in it. She then took hold of the handle and raised it as it is a sword. Release the Radiance! "Henshin!" The woman shouted as her hole body turned into dust and went into the sword itself. ~Who is the shining sword? Saikou: First Chapter The sword wielding the power of gold and slive Saikou! The sword was floting in the air and moved around on its own. Everyone who saw this were both shocked and surprise to see something like what just saw. "She turned into a sword...?" Blades asked in confusion. "It can't be...!" Slash shouted. "I am the sword, and the sword is I!" The woman's voice came from the sword itself. The sword the struck Kenzan then Buster. Slash try to block the sword's attack but it eventually strike her before striking Buster again then to Blades. Kenzan try to get a hit, but it's impossible to hit something that is just a sword. The sword then struck her when it flew passed her. "She has appeared, just as predicted." Mist told whoever she is talking to on the phone. Slash, Buster, Kenzan, and Blades were struck again before the sword flew above them. "Let there be light!" The sword said as a button on its side lit up and it spun around. Release the Radiance! Good luck As it spun very quickly, it came down on the four riders and stuck them at once. After the attack, they then transformed out of their rider forms and fell to their knees. The sword then freed the paladins from the vines. At the Megid lar. Storious and Zooous saw the sword through the bubble. "The long lost Sword of Light..." Storious said. Saber and the paladins gathered as the CMCs, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Smolder went over to them and the sword floated infront of them just before it glowed and the woman returned in its place just as the others transformed out of their rider forms. "We should..." Beat said to Terra as they along with Wind and Surge stood up. "Yeah, we should retreat." Terra said. "I ain't done with you yet!" Wind shouted as both Terra and Beat hold her and carried her away. "The heck are you doing?! Let me go!" "This is truly a shame..." Surge said as he looked at Flash and Twilight with a disappointed look before he turned and left. The woman then turned to look at both Flash and Twilight. "We meet again, Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle." The woman said with a smile on her face. "What a wonderful day this is!" Just then, Lightning Dust, Spitfire, and Soarin came out from hiding and went over to them. "What the?! How long have you three been here?!" Rainbow asked when she saw them. "Uh, a while. We saw the hole thing too. And even I'll admit, it looked so awesome." Lightning Dust said. "Now that we got that out of the way, who the hey are you?" Applejack asked the woman. "My name is Radiant Light." She answered. "The most wonderful sword who protects the world." Back in Tassel's house, Tassel himself jumped out of his seat. "She has revealed herself at last!" He shouted with excitement in his voice. "But the bond that Flash and the main seven shared with their friends has been broken. I'm very worried..." Somewhere in the forest. The woman set up camp and heard something. When she looked around, she saw Legeiel standing there with the blank book in his hand. "I shall give you an amazing power." He told the woman. The woman stood up and Legeiel threw the book at her. When it hit her, she got covered in dark power and felt pain. Soon the book opened up and she transformed into a Megid. Shirayuki Yeti The Story Continue > Volume 1, chapter 17: Is the ancient envoy of the light or shadow? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to inside Tassel's house where Tassel himself looks at you. "Bonne lecture everyone." He greet you. "Flash, Twilight, and Light have finally, fiiiiinally met up." He sounded so exceeded. "A notre amitié!" He said as he raised a glass before he dropped it and it shattered when it hit the ground. A book then fly out and opened itself as we see what happened in the last chapter. "But something absolutely terrible has happened." Tassel said as we see Surge, Wind, Terra, and Beat a face Flash and the others. "Flash, Twilight, and their friends from the Sword of Logos have come to bear their blades against each other!" Tassel explained as we see Twilight try to explain to them their is an enemy within the guild, but they didn't believe her. We then see Saber and Ember fight the other riders, except for the paladins. "And only she has the power to stop it..." Tassel said as we see Kenzan's attack be stopped by a cloaked woman and be pushed back. We then see the identity of the cloaked figure, Radiant Light. Then a different book appeared and opened up to bring you into the next chapter. We open to the rooftop where Arabia used to be alone at sunset, where both Flash and Twilight were sitting next to each other. After what happened today, they needed some time to think about what happened. This is also the place where they, their friends, Surge, and Arabia made their promise together. "Why'd this have to happen..." Twilight said as she lean on Flash's shoulder. Sunset and the others came looking for Flash and Twilight. They saw them and went over to them. "You both okay?" Sunset asked. The two just shrugged and just kept quite. "What are we going to do?" Pinkie asked with her hair deflate. "I don't know..." Flash answered Pinkie. Now that Surge and the other swordsmen thinks they are traders, it will be even harder to find the true enemy is within the guild. It became night time and Storious looked out a window from the Megid lar. "A large number of humans and creaters from Equestria have been connected to Wonder World." He said to Zooous and Legeiel. "It's only a matter of time before the holy blades gather before us." "Now all we need is a large number of Altar Books, and the great power will be ours!" Zooous shouted as stand up. "I'll be back." He told Storious. "Unfortunately for you-" Legeiel said as he stopped Zooous. "It's still my turn. I already have a Megido at the ready." Somewhere in the city, a truck driver was driving along when a gust of snow surprise him and he swerved out of the way and crash, he's alright but unconscious. The stranger thing is, it is snowing in one spot and the woman who was camping was right under the spot. She woke up and she found herself back in the city. "How did I get here...?" She asked herself as she looked around. "It's freezing...!" She suddenly felt pain and saw her hands admit a bit of frost mist. "What is this?!" She asked as she got up and try to walk, till more pain hit her and a dark power emerges from her. She screamed out as she transformed into the Yeti Megid. Yeti of the White Snow! The gang soon walked to Fantastic Books to see if they can try and talk to the others. With them is Lightning Dust, Spitfire, and Soarin because they wanted to see the Northern Base. When they walked inside, the lights were out and both Flash and Soarin tripped and fell to the ground. When the two got up they all saw the hole place is a mess. "What happened in here?!" Twilight asked. "Didn't this Surge guy gave you a key to lock up this place?" Lightning Dust asked. "Locked up?" A familiar voice got their attention. "That's meaningless before me." A cloaked figure stood up from behind the table with the train set on it and closed a book she was reading. Rarity and Fluttershy screamed at the sight of the figure. Twilight turned to get a better look at who it is. The figure took off the hood and show that it was only Radiant Light. "Thanks for the hearing lost you two!" Sprit shouted at Rarity and Fluttershy who blushed a small bit. "Hey Light. Good to see you again." Flash said. "Isn't she that woman that trun into a sword?" Spitfire asked. "This place really has a ton of books." Light said. "Isn't it great?" "If you think this is great, you should check out the library." Rainbow Dash joked. "Um Light." Twilight spoke up. "Uhhh, what exactly did-" "I filled in a portion of knowledge I lost to time." Light answered Twilight before she could finish her question. "It's been a thousand years. To think humanity and equestrians would produce such knowledge. Isn't it great?" She asked as she walked over to the group. "Uh, d-did you just say a thousand years?!" Applejack asked. "Twilight Sparkle, your mother wrote this right?" Light asked as hold a book to her. "It was great, even if I read it halfway!" "T-thanks." Twilight said as she took the book from Light. The book is tilted "Living by the sword." "A lot's happened, so if you expect to see the next book. It's not coming." Twilight said as she walked pass her and put the book up. "You seriously made way too big a mess..." Spike told Light as he hold Smolder and looked at the place. He set Smolder down and the others clean up. When Light saw Spike picked up two comic books, she took it from him. "Oh yeah, these two I couldn't get into." Light said as she looked at the comic books. "What? The comics?" Spike asked. "What's up with them?" The comic is a origin of the Power Ponies and the other is called Sword-X-Woman. "All the characters did was fret and agonise." Light said. "They don't know what it means to save the world." She handed the comics back to Spike. "Most people enjoying reading comics though." Lightning Dust told Light. "That aside, why'd you come here Light?" Flash asked as he helped clean up. "I wanted to observe the current world." Light answered. "Mind taking me places tomorrow?" She asked as she looked both Flash and Twilight. "Yeah, why not?" Flash asked. "A nice sight seeing sounds nice." Somewhere in South pole is a base that had a barrier like the Northern Base but it looked bigger. This is the Southern Base. Inside is Surge, Wind, Terra, and Beat with sad looks on their faces. "I never imagined we'd cross swords with Flash or Twilight..." Beat said as she walked around the room. "They mentioned a mastermind pulling the strings within S.O.L..." "They're lying." Wind said. "Calibur cut down my Arabia! Not only that, but he killed his own wife! They're the ones that's gone mad if they believed what that murderer would say!" "I don't believe neither Flash or Twilight has betrayed us." Surge said. "You're STILL not convinced?!" Wind shouted at Surge. "Wind, calm down!" Terra told her as he stood up. "YOU THINK I CAN?!" Wind shouted as she pushed Terra back. "I'm going." She then turned to leave. "Stop!" Terra told her. "I see you've all gathered." Mist said from the balance on top of the stairs. "I've come to relay their instructions. You are to retrieve Rekka, Ikazuchi, and the Wonder Ride Books from Flash Sentry, along with the Sword of Light." "Figured as much." Terra said . "The Sword of Light is a key to great power." Mist told them. "We must retrieve it with haste, else the world will be in danger." "Flash would never use the holy blades for evil!" Surge shouted at Mist. "And you're sure of that?!" Mist question him. Surge didn't answer because he's not sure if it's true or not. "For now..." Terra spoke up. "Just leave the kid to us." He told Mist. "Very well." Mist said before she turned and left the room. Surge sat down in his seat when she left. "If only Sophia were here at a time like this..." He said. The next day in the city. Flash, Soarin, and the girls brought Light for day out on the town like they would. They at the mall and getting some smoothies just as Shining Armor and Cadence with their baby girl came by with the CMCs. Light was looking around and was amazed by how the world has changed from the time she was gone. But people were looking at her with odd looks on their faces because of the old time cloak. Rarity and Rainbow Dash noticed this and got worried. "Ok, ok, just take a seat for now, Darling!" Rarity told Light as she pulled her to where their friends are sitting. "Sit, sit..." Spike said as he is training Smolder some tricks. "This era is bursting with surprises!" Light said. She then took notice that people were looking at her. "What's going on? I feel like people are staring at me." "Of course you'd stick out looking like that, Darling." Rarity told Light as she pointed at her cloak. "Perhaps you need to change your style to fit right in. And by that I mean you will need new clothes that go with this era." "I see!" Light said. "In that case..." She looked around till she saw Lyra with Bon-Bon. "I'll go with that." Her eyes glowed and her cloak glowed to turn into Lyra's clothes. They others saw this and they were shock that she can do that. "How's that? Feels a bit off though..." She then saw Sandalwood. "Maybe that?" She then change into Sandalwood's clothes. They others were shocked by this again and pulled her out of sight. But they accidentally bumped into a Celestia and Luna. "What is going on?" Celestia asked. Light looked at her and change into her clothes. Celestia and Luna were surprise by that and Light felt more comfortable in Celestia's clothes. "When I said that you should change your style, I meant to fit something for you." Rarity told Light. Light thought about it, then the clothes glowed and the colors change. Her pants were now a sliver color with the cote is now golden shade with her rider symbol as the pin instead of Celestia's sun pin. "Not exactly what I was saying, but if you enjoy it..." Rarity said. "How about this?" Light asked. "That's wicked! How'd you do that?!" Scootaloo asked. "Can you teach me?" Light wasn't paying attention to Scootaloo because she is more focus on the smoothie Pinkie bought. "What's this fluid with the lumps inside?" Light asked as picked one of the smoothies up. "This? It's tapioca, Darling." Rarity answered. "It's pretty popular. Give it a sip." "Oh, another fruit of modern wisdom I see." Light said as hold the tapioca. "However I cannot drink it, for I am a sword." The others were surprise to hear that. Lightning Dust, however just chuckled. "You say "sword", but you're basically a human!" Lightning Dust told Light. "I'm a sword." Light told Lightning Dust. "I mean if you weren't a human-" Lightning Dust spoke before Light interrupted. "You can't tell the difference-" She told Lightning Dust. As they kept arguing, Soarin got a phone call from his dad. And what he heard from his dad, made him worried. "What? You can't reach mom?" Soarin asked. "Your mom?" Rainbow asked. "I gotta get back home guys." Soarin told them as he headed out. "See you around!" Just then, the Yeti Megid arrive before Soarin could leave. And what's more is that there are two of them. People saw the two Megid and started to run a way. "Two Megid?!" Flash said as he, Shining, and the girls perpar for what's about to happen. "Wait, something's wrong." He said as he and the others noticed that the part of the city was still here, yet the two Megid are here infront of them. "What?" Light asked. "A Megido usually means a city block gets transported to Wonder World." Twilight explained. "But we're still here, in the real world." She then noticed that the second Yeti Megid look more see through than the other. "Plus that other one is see through." "So they're no Megido!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she pointed at the two Megid. "No, they are." Light told Pinkie. The second Yeti Megid started to glow in a dark aura before the aura burst everywhere. Then from out of nowhere, the ponies from Equestria appeared next to their human counterparts. Even the main six appeared, along with dragon Spike and Smolder. "What in the?!" Both Spitfires said when they saw each other. "What gives?!" Both Lightning Dusts asked. "Okay, this is weird. And why does that dog look familiar?" Smolder asked when she saw her dog counterpart. They then noticed that the second Yeti Megid is more solid now. "Did that Yeti do this?" Both Twilights asked. "One Megido is from here, while the other was from Equestria." Light said. Then the two Megidos then blow freezing cold winds at the people and ponies and nearly froze to the point to where they can't move. Flash and Twilight saw this and put on their drivers and place their Wounder Ride Books in them. Brave Dragon Storm Eagle Saiyuu Journey Wonder Paladin "Henshin!" They both shouted as Flash draw out his sword and Twilight pressed the button on her driver and they transformed into their rider forms. Flash to Saber, Crimson Dragon combo and Twilight to Ember. ~Crimson Dragon! ~Wonder Paladin! Both Saber and Ember went over to the nearly frozen people and ponies. Saber pressed the cover of the Brave Dragon book as Ember did the same with her book. "Quickly first..." Saber said as he and Ember defrost both the people and ponies. The others transformed into their rider forms and joined Saber and Ember as they charged at the two Yeti Megid. "We'll get everyone and pony to safety!" Sunset shouted as she, the main six, and the others helped the people and ponies to get them away from the two Megidos. The two Yeti Megidos charged at the riders. One took on Saber, Ember, Drake, and Aqua while the other one took on Whirlwind, Quake, and Reverb. The Yeti threw a punch just as Saber and Ember dodged the attack and strike it with their swords. Whirlwind, Quake, and Reverb pushed the second one back, just as Drake and Aqua did the same with the first. Each of them then thrust their swords at the two Megid. "Flames are good for this one!" Saber said as he placed his sword back in the driver and press the button on the handle for the finisher. Final Page! Unsheathe the Flame! Dragon! Eagle! J to the West! Three Volume Slash! F-F-F-Fire! As Saber send flamnado at the two Megidos, they counter him with blizzards brezz attack. Their attack was broken and they were sending flying back and crashed onto the ground. As then paladins jumped and got ready to finish them off, Legeiel came in and blocked their attacks. He then try to attack them, but they jumped out of the way. "Legeiel!" Ember said when they saw him. Light looked at Legeiel with confusion. "Great, what does he want?" Pony Rainbow asked. "We'd appreciated if you don't get in our way." Legeiel told Saber and the paladins. "Calibur's already gone!" Saber shouted. "Is it still not over?" Legeiel chuckled at Saber's question. "We were always just exploiting him." He told them. "He was certainly useful. But our objective remains the same, even with him gone." Legeiel then transformed into his Megid form. He then clashed blades with Saber as the Yeti Megidos attack the paladins. Saber ducked under one of Legeiel's attack and he and the paladins got hit with a cold mist from the two Megid. "That's cold...!" Saber complained as his and the others armor were covered in a bit of ice. Legeiel then struck each of them while they had their guard down. Quake caught one of his attacks and try to push him back. "They need help!" Sunset shouted. "Guess that's our cue." Light said as she tapped Sunset's shoulders and a Wonder Paladin Ride Book appeared in her hand. The book had the Sword of Light on the cover next to a black figure. As Sunset looked at the book, Light put on her driver. Seiken Saikou Driver She then took out her Wonder Ride Book and open the cover. Weapons of Gold & Sliver! Gold or Sliver? After she closed the book, she pulled out the lever and place the book in the driver. She the pull out the sword and the book open up. Release the Radiance! "Henshin!" Light shouted as the sword lit up and her body turned into dust and went into the sword. The main six, Spike and Smolder the dragons, the two Wonder bolts, the two retired princesses, Shining Armor and Cadence , and pony Lightning Dust were shocked to see. ~Who is the shining sword? Saikou First chapter! The sword glittering with the power of gold and sliver! SAIKOU! "Well?" Saikou asked Sunset. Sunset looked at the sword, then realise that it wants her to transform. So she puts on her Paladin Driver and place the book in it. She hoped she won't transformed into a sword too when she pressed the button and the book opened up. "Henshin." Sunset said. Paladin Stand! A giant version of the book appeared behind her open up and Sunset got covered in light. When the light vanished, in Sunset's place was an Paladin Rider. Her armor had gold on the sides and sliver up the middle. Her chest plate had Saikou's symbol on it and her helmet had a star flattened on it as half of it was gold on top and the bottom half was sliver. Her sword had a stone that was both gold and sliver in the guard. ~Wonder Paladin! The sword then flew passed both Celestias and slashed Legeiel. Legeiel was struck again by the sword while one of the Yeti Megid try to strike it. Sunset blocked its attack while the sword went around it and slashed it right into the other one. The sword and Sunset clashed blades with Legeiel, causing him to step back with each clash. "How cunning!" Legeiel said. "Looks like we get to deal with these two!" Whirlwind said when she and the others saw the two Megid get up. Each of them to a slash at the two before Saber place his sword back in the driver. "Let me, Shining, and Flash finished this!" Ember told the others before she and Drake place their swords in their holders. Then the three pressed the button on the handle two times for the finisher. Final Page! Dragon! Eagle! J to the West! Three Volume Strike! F-F-F-Fire! Paladin Strike! "Roaring Incineration Kick!" Saber and the two paladins declared before they jumped high in the air and come down on the two Megid with three rider kicks. The kicks landed and the two Megid were sent to the ground. While on the ground, the two started to glow before they transformed back in the woman from the camping trip and a mare pegasus with the whit book Legeiel fly out of the woman and a part of it covered in red. "Mom!" Both Soarins shouted when they saw the two. The others were shocked to see that the two Megid were a person and a mare. Legeiel dogged Saikou and strike the sword to the ground before he struck Sunset back before he went over to the woman and mare. "I knew it." Saikou said when it floated from the ground. "What is the meaning of this?" Alicorn Luna asked. "Why did those monsters turned into that human and one of our ponies?" "Mom!" Both Soarins called out to the two on the ground. "S-Soarin...!" Both the woman and pegasus called out to her son. When the two Soarins try to get over to his mother, Legeiel stepped infront of them and push both Soarins back. "What did you do to Soarin's mom?!" Princess Twilight asked Legeiel. Legeiel laugh at the question. "Insert this book into a human, and they along with their counterparts from Equestria turn into a Megido." He told them as he picked up the book next to him. "And with enough ramping, a new Altar Book will be complete." He then dropped the book on human Soarin's mother and both her and her pegasus counterpart turned back into the Yeti Megid. Yeti of the White Snow! Everyone and pony was shocked to see this right infront of them. "You can play with these until they're done." Legeiel said as open an Altar Book and a Goblin Megid and a Medusa Megid appeared and attack the riders. They were able to push them back and hold their own. "The next stage of our plans is underway." Legeiel said while they fight the Megid he sent to fight before he left with the two Yeti Megid. "See you." "Mom-" Human Soarin said as he watch the two Megid who are his mother. "-is gone..." The riders were left to fight the Goblin and Medusa. Saber, Ember, Drake, and Quake took on the Goblin, while Whirlwind, Reverb, and Sunset fought the Medusa. Saikou watch them fight from where she is. Medusa was able to trip up Whirlwind and Reverb and struck Sunset. The Goblin use its staff to block Saber before it spun it around and strike all three of them. When the riders were down, the Goblin brought his staff down on Saber before Saikou stopped it. Saikou then struck the Goblin and Medusa Megid as it flew around. When the two Megid were on the ground, Saikou's glowed and ready to finish them. Saikou Hakkou Good Luck A burst of light shin out everywhere and destroyed the two Megid at once. "That was great!" Saikou said. Later, Princess Twilight, her friends, coltfrend, brother, Cadence, the retired princesses and Smolder gathered the ponies that were in the area when one of the Yeti Megid brought them to the human world and place them in the Northern Base as to keep them safe and not freak out their human counterparts. After word, they returned to Fantastic Books and thought about what they are going to do with Soarin's mother. Flash looked a little flustered about something. "Flash, are you okay?" Twilight asked. "We almost cut down a person..." Flash said. "...and a mare from Equestria." "My mom got turned into a Megido...? What's going on?" Soarin asked. "Yeah, but how did we end up back here again?" Pegasus Rainbow Dash asked. "And where is here?" Pegasus Spitfire asked. "We will tell you later about that." Princess Twilight told Spitfire. She then used her magic to make a chock borde appeare. "As for how we ended up here again, I believe I have a theory." She use her magic to pick up the chock and started to draw out and explained her theory. "After the Megid open the door to the Table of Revelations, every creaters from Equestria were brought here. And from what Legeiel told, even with the door closed we all are still connected in someway. Back in Equestria, there were some reports about a monster somewhere around Ponyville. When me and my friend found it, we saw a second one that was more see through than the other one and admit a dark aura before it went off and we ended up here. And any of the human counterparts from here was around when it happened, the pony counterparts arrived here as well and of course any creatures too. So it stands to reason that if that book that Legeiel place in Soarin's mother is out long enough, we should return back to Equestria." "So wait." Dragon Smolder said. "You're saying that this dog is me?" She asked as she pointed to her counterpart. "I believe the more important question is, why are they doing this?" Alicorn Luna asked. "Hey, you know anything, miss sword thing?" Pegasus Lightning Dust asked. Light didn't answer because she was reading a book and not paying attention. "Hey!" She shouted as she took the book from Light. "Once upon a time, there was a forbidden technology for converting humans, ponies, and creatures to Megido." Light told them. Back at the Megid lar. Storious picked up a large blank white book up. "By integrating this book into humans or ponies or any other creatures from Equestria connected to Wonder World, it can utilise their lifeforce to produce incredible power Altar Books." He said. Zooous went over and snatch the book from Storious. "That's convenient!" He said as he looked at the book. "Though it will consume and erase anyone who reaches completion." Storious told Zooous and Legeiel, causing Zooous laugh at the remark. "Two birds with one stone." He said "Both worlds are brimming with humans, ponies, and creatures after all." Legeiel said. "The Megido likely seek to use humans, ponies, and creatures to produce books that will eventually restore the chapter of omniscience." Light told the riders, the main six, and the others. "That's something we cannot allow to happen." When she heard the toy train, she look more closely. "But that would mean we'd have to cut down Soarin's mom since she's turned into a Megido..." Rainbow Dash said. "Books are supposed to bring others joy...!" Twilight said to herself as she remembers when she was younger and played with her friends. "I don't want any more people to suffer because of books...!" Everyone in the room heard her and they can agree with her. "To do that, we have to save Soarin's mother." Flash said as he stood up. "Then cut both down. That's about all a swordsman can do." Light told him before she looked at human Spike and the CMCs. "As for you four, I have something for you." She pulled out four small versions of Flash's sword without the emblem or stone. "If you wish to help your siblings, use these swords and their powers will answer your call." She told after they took the swords. "Hey wait! What do you mean my mom will-" Pegasus Soarin was about to ask but Light was too distracted by the toy train set. "She can't be serious!" Sprit shouted. Then the book human Spike is holding made a noise. When he took it out and opened it, showed them something. "It's probably them..." Sprit said as she and the others looked at the page. They then headed out, but Applejack stop Spike, Smolder, and the CMCs. "Y'all stay here!" Applejack told them. "It just got too dangerous to be with us now. So stay here and keep an eye on the ponies at the Northern Base." She then left with the others, leaving the Spikes, Smolders, CMCs, the Lightning Dusts, the Spitfires, and the Soarins, the alicorns, the Principles, and Light behind. At a water port, the two Yeti Megid froze up the water and ships infront of them and inside one of them, the book that turned them into Megid is becoming more crupted. Flash, the main six and seven, along with the two Shining Armors came in on the season and saw what the two have done. "Over there!" Rarity shouted as she pointed to where the two Megid are. "Soarin's mom!" Rainbow shouted to the two Megid. "It's me Rainbow Dash! Can you ether of you hear me?!" The two Megid just growled at her in response. "We're going to save you both!" She looked at her friends. "Ready?" "Since they use ice, let me, Shining, and Flash handle them." Twilight told her. Flash and Shining nodded in agreement before Flash and Twilight pulled out the Dragonic Knight and Dragonic Paladin books. Dragonic Knight Dragonic Paladin The dramatic battles of an experienced knight riding with extreme style on an enormous dragon. After they close the books, they place them in their drivers and Flash draw out his sword as Twilight and Shining press the button their drivers. "Henshin!" All three said as they transformed into their rider forms. Flash and Twilight in their Upgrade forms and Shining to Drake. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! Don't miss it! The Metallic Armor! The Stylistic Booster! The Dauntless Rider! ~The knight appears! ~When you side, you have no grief and the flames is bright! ~Ride on, dragon! Fight! ~Dragonic Knight! In other words, it's the strongest! ~Wonder Paladin! The two Megidos pound their chests and walked towards the riders. "We'll save Soarin's mother. Both of them! But without our swords." Saber said as he and his two paladins put their swords away. Both Yeti Megid push Saber and the two paladins aside and they try to get Sunset and the girls. The girls jumped out of the way and quickly transformed into their rider forms. Saber and Drake grabbed the two and try to hold them. Saber punch the Yeti he hold as Quake and Whirlwind kicked it. Drake and Ember threw multiple punches but the Yeti Megid blocked them and knocked them into Sunset and Reverb. The other one punched both Quake and Whirlwind back before it grabbed Saber pond his back. Aqua try to help, but the two Yeit Megido blocked her kicks and knocked her into Saber. The main six went in and try to help. Both Princess Twilight and Rarity blast the two Yeti Megid with magic beams. But the Yeit Megidos froze the beams and send the ice blocks right at them, but they were lucky enough to dodged them. Rainbow Dash and Applejack try to buck them but the two were punched back by the Yeit Megidos. Both Pinkies use their party cannons to blast them, but the confetti just annoyed them. Saber and Ember grabbed them by the waist and pushed them back. But the two Megid push them off and to the ground. The two Megidos charged and tackle both of them, but Saber and Ember managed to pin them to a wall. "Please stop!" Ember shouted. "We don't want to hurt ether of you!" Both Saber and Ember saw the books on their chests glow and saw Soarin's mother. One from the human world and the other from Equestria. "Save me..." They both asked the two riders. They vanished and the two Megidos strike Saber and Ember and kicked them to the ground with the others. "Are you all alright?" Fluttershy asked as she checked each of them. She then noticed the two Megid are about to leave. "Soarin's mother is leaving... What can we do...?" "For now, we gotta separate that book from the human version!" Saber shouted. A few workers were spotted and the two Yeti Megid froze them in place. "Dammit!" He said before he used his Booster. Spicy! The Booster then shot a stream of flames at the two Megid, but the two was freezing his flames till they froze them. Princess Twilight put up a shield to protect her friends and the paladins, Saber however was not so lucky. Twilight's shield was frozen over and there was no way out, they are trapped. "Not good." Both Twilight and Ember said. Just as the two Yeti Megid roar, four lights appeared out of nowhere. When the light vanished, four figures were there standing. They wear armors that look like Saber's baes form but they are blank, no red, blue, or yellow. Their swords were like the ones Light gave Spike and the CMCs but longer. Three of them are female while one is male. They rushed over to the dom that Twilight, her friends, and the paladins are trapped in and one of them spoke in a voice that Applejack and Quake recognised. "Applejack! Are you okay?!" "Apple Bloom?!" Both Applejack and Quake shouted. "What are y'all doing here?! You should be at the Northern Base!" Applejack shouted. "We are!" The one that sounds like Spike. "We saw that you were in trouble and we used the swords Light gave us. The books formed infront of us and it's sort of like a video game." "They are using the puppets." Light said as she walked up to them. "They are for young who wished to become a part of the guild. This way, they can get an experience of battle without being in danger. Also, this was pathetic." She said as she looked over the dom with trapped ponies and riders inside, then to the frozen Saber. She then pulled out her driver and puts it on. Seiken Saikou Driver She then pulled out her Wonder Ride Book and open the cover to reveal the story within. Gold or Sliver? She closed the book and pulled the lever on the driver before placing the book in it. She then lift the sword out of the driver and the book open up. Release the Radiance! "Henshin!" Light shouted as her body turned into dust and went into the sword itself. ~Who is the Shining Sword? Saikou First Chapter The sword glittering with the power of gold and sliver; SAIKOU! "There's nothing my holy light can't melt." Saikou said as the sword flew high in the air and the blade started to glow bright. "Let there be light!" Release the Radiance! Good Luck The sword shin so bright that it melted the ice and free everyone that was frozen from the ice. Even the dom that trapped the others melted. The workers ran away now that they are free. The sword then flew down and slashed both Yeit Megidos in the back. "I will cut you down and protect both worlds." Saikou said before it flew around the two Megid and slashed them a few times. They try to hit back, but the sword move too fast that it dodged them and struck again. Another strike cause the two Megid to fall to the ground. The puppets went in and slash their swords at the Megid when the two got up. When the puppet control by Spike and Saikou went to for another attack. The two Megidos blocked and grabbed them both. One of them pushed the puppet right into the other three, while the other went and try to freeze Saikou. "Nice idea, but we'll see about that." Saikou told the Yeti Megid that was trying to freeze her. The sword then glowed and something strange happened. Who is This? Saikou second chapter The shadow born from the light; Shadow! "A shadow?" The two Pinkies asked when they saw the shadow rise from the ground and kicked the Yeti Megid back and Saikou land in its hand. The shadow the slashed the Yeti Megid with Saikou. The puppets got up and ganged up on the other Yeti Megid, slashing it with their swords. They each struck both the Yeti Megidos to the ground after jumping behind them. "Yet another power of the Sword of Light " Saikou said. The sword then glow and the shadow became a black mist that floated over to the two Megid that got up from the ground. The shadow then slashed both of them and they were sent flying back. "We gotta stop her!" Whirlwind shouted. "She's gonna kill them!" Saber stood up and ran over to tackle the shadow. "Stop!" Saber shouted. But when he try to tackle the shadow, he just went through it. "What was that...!?" Rainbow asked. When the shadow threw the sword, it became the sword's shadow and went behind the two Megid before slashing them before turning back into a shadow and went behind them when they try to grab it. It took another slash sending both in the air, before it stretched out and slashed them to the ground. "This one flash will save the worlds. Disappear into the light!" Saikou shouted, ready to end this. The shadow then pressed a button on the sword. Release the Radiance! "Stop it!!" Saber shouted as he got up from the ground and draw out his sword. Unsheathe the Flame! He then charged to the two Megid just as the shadow became a cloud. Saber then slashed his sword at the cloud to protect them. Dragonic Finishing Slash! When the slashed hit, Saber and the two Megidos were sent back from it. The two Megidos got up and was leaving. When they left, the shadow return to the sword and the sword shin bright before Light was in its place. "Why'd you stop me?" She asked. Saber stood up from the ground and they all transformed out of their rider forms. "I will... I will save Soarin's mother!" Flash shouted at Light. "So will we!" Twilight shouted. "They maybe Megidos, but they are still people and a pony inside them!" "It appears that modern swordsmen and paladins are incompatible with me." Light said. "Come on Light, that was too much." Tassel said as he cleaned up the class he dropped. "Can't be helped I guess. She was Avalon for a thousand years after all. Ow!" He hurt himself when he picked up a shard of the class without his glove on. "Will she get along with Flash and the others?" The Story Continue > Volume 1, chapter 18: Strike down the Megido with Flames of Tenacity. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Opening to inside Tassel's house, we Tassel out of view and hold out his hand having one finger up. "Bonne Lecture to you all!" He said to you all as he waved his hand around. He then jumped into view wearing a joker mask. "A human and their Equestrian counterpart turning into a Megido?! Was that always a thing?!" He moved his face away from the mask. "But I already knew about it course." A book then fly out from the bookshelf and opened up to show us what happened in the last chapter. "Will Flash and the others truly be able to save someone who's turned into a Megido, along with the pony counterpart?" Tassel asked as we see Soarin's mother from both worlds transformed into Yeit Megidos. We then see Saber and the others fight them without their swords and not doing so well. "Meanwhile, they also having trouble finding common ground with Light." We then see Flash and the others disagreed with Light about cutting down Soarin's mother. "How will it go between them?" A book then fly out and opened itself as we enter the next chapter. We see the group returned back to Fantastic Books and both Flash and Twilight were thinking about something while the two Soarins try to talk to Light while she is distracted by the toy train set. "Hey, what'll happen to my mom if they defeat the Megido?" Human Soarin asked. "I like how it goes round!" Light said as she watch the toy train go round the toy railroad. "Hey! We're talking to you here!" Applejack shouted. "Why'd you give my little sister, her friends, and Spike those swords in the first place?" Light is still looking at the toy train, when Applejack stopped it. "Listen!" "I already said that all a swordsman can do is cut either one down." Light answered Soarin before she turned to look at Applejack. "As for the young ones, they have the spirit of great swordsmen. The boy has loyalty of a dragon and the other three are like crusaders. They can be great swordsmen one day." "But what about Soarin's mother?!" Flash asked. "We can't save either of them if we cut them down!" "You accomplished nothing, correct?" Light asked. 'Still-" Twilight was about to say something before Light spoke up. "You wish to save the worlds, and help its people here in this world and the ones from Equestria, as well as grasp at the truth." Light told them as she walked over to Flash and Twilight. "Yet you can't stop yourself from brooding over your friends." She then draw her attention to the dragon model on the table. "How naive." When she poked it, she jumped a little when it breath fire. Flash and Twilight went to the Book Gate and opened it. "Flash! Twilight!" Fluttershy said as she went over to them. "We need to talk to Princess Twilight about something." Flash said. "We should tell you that unicorn that looks like Lyra is really into humans." Sweetie Bell told them before they left. "You are the worst!" Sprit shouted as she flew right infront Light's face. At the Megido lar. Legeiel was playing the organ and playing really well too. "You seem in high spirits." Zooous said to Legeiel. "It was most entertaining seeing Saber and those paladins unwilling to lay a hand on either one!" Legeiel said with delight in his voice before he laugh out loud. "It would be wise not to celebrate just yet." Storious told Legeiel. "The Swordswoman of Light has appeared... That sword's powers are unknown to us." He said as he walked over to Legeiel. "Turn a blind eye... and it may come back to bite you." "I will obliterate it before it comes to that." Legeiel told Storious as he continue to play the organ. At the Northern Base. The ponies were talking among themselves about the world they got transported to. While Princess Twilight were thinking with Alicorn Celestia, Luna, and Cadence, human Twilight is holding Arabia's sword while Flash sat next to her on the stairs. And while they were lost in thought, pony Lyra was admiring them because her theory of humans being real was proven right and she promise Princess Twilight she would do her best to keep herself in check. "What should we do...?" Twilight thought as she looked at the sword. At the Southern Base. Mist is walking down the stairs to the riders there. "Saber, the paladins, four puppets, a few Equestrians and the Sword of Light were sighted in combat with a Megido." She told them as she reached the bottom. "It is safe to assume the Sword of Light is cooperating with Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle and so are the paladins you all have chosen. And four children are cooperating with them as well." "Flash and Twilight was fighting a Megido, you say?" Surge asked. "They're still pretending to be a Sword of Logos Swordsman and paladin?" Wind asked. "I'm gonna beat them down!" She got up and was about to head out before Surge stopped her. "Wait..." Surge said as he stopped had Wind face him. "What, you trying to cover for the two traitors?" Wind asked. "Fighting the Megido isn't an action a traitor would-" Surge try to tell her before Wind pushed him. "So you believe the shit they were saying?" Wind asked as she tightened her grip on Surge's arm. "I don't." Surge answered as he removed her hand off him. "The Sword of Logos is everything to me." "We need to talk to them." Beat suggested. "I'll go." She got up and head to the door. "I will too." Surge said as he followed Beat out. Wind walked out of the room and from around a corner, she saw Sunset here. She was shocked to see her here so she ran over to catch up to Sunset. But when Sunset turned a corner and Wind catch up to the spot, Sunset vanished. "What's wrong?" Terra asked when he followed her, worrying about what Wind might do. "Thought I just saw Sunset here." Wind answered. "Must've been my imagination." Back at the Northern Base. Twilight and Flash is still sitting on the stairs and the alicorns were still talking when Light walked in. "That's the holy blade your good friend entrusted to you, correct?" She asked Twilight. "How do you-" Twilight was going to ask how she knows before Light spoke up. "I've been observing all of you this whole time." She told them. "Besides... You've already met me once before." Both Flash and Twilight didn't know what she meant before they realized what it is. They remember the cloaked woman from Avalon who tested them and gave Flash the Dragonic Knight book when it was blank. They even remember the cloaked woman telling them once he unlocked its true power that they will meet again in Light's voice. "What do you mean you three met before?" Princess Twilight asked when she heard her. "It was I who sealed Arthur's power in Avalon." Light told them while she read a book. "Just what are you?" Flash asked as he and Twilight stood up. Every pony in the room listen to what Light is going to tell them. "Long ago, I was a swordswoman protecting the world." Light began. "If the elder holy blades of light and dark were to intertwine, it would give birth to colossal power. Thus, I merged myself with the Sword of Light to prevent its misuse..." Everyone in the room was wondering what happened if she had to merged herself with a sword. "...and ceased to be human." "Do you ever regret it?" Smolder asked. "I simply did what was natural for a swordsman and woman." Light answered Smolder. "It was great, if anything! But now the worlds is being threatened once more. No... The situation is even worse than before. The worlds has now experienced connection to Wonder World. Those that seek great power will continue to rise. The threat is no longer limited to the Megido." She then looked at Flash and Twilight. "You've obtained the power of Avalon. In other words, whether or not you wished for it..." She walked over to them. "...the fate of the two worlds now rests in your hands. Do you have the resolve required to brandish that immense power to save the worlds?" She asked. "Resolve..." Twilight repeated. "Yes." Light said. "The kind of resolve needed to wield me." Both Flash and Twilight looked at her and remember what Night Light said about steeled his resolve. About find and combat the true foe within the guild, he was try to get not only the Table of Revelations, but the Sword of Light as well. Later, both Flash and Twilight walked to the rooftop where Arabia used to go to be alone. "Power..." They both thought. As they walked, Beat and Surge were sitting next to a wall. "Flash. Twilight." Surge said when he saw them and stood up. "Surge. Beat." Flash responded. "What are you two doing here?" Twilight asked. "Twilight... Flash..." Beat spoke. "Do you both desire the great power?" "Why would we-" Flash was going to ask before Surge spoke up. "Calibur is simply misleading you both!" He told them as he walked over to them. "The Sword of Logos has no traitor!" "My father's methods were certainly wrong." Twilight said. "However, he gave his life to entrust those final wishes to me and Flash! I don't believed he lied." "Twilight, you and Flash are going to end up fighting us." Surge warned them. Flash and Twilight looked at him before they looked at each other. They know if what Night Light told was true or not, but they have to a least see for themselves. "Surge, please trust us." Flash asked of him. Surge looked at them with a look that tells them he can't believe they're still going with it. There was a bit of silence before a voice broke it. "Internal strife between swordsmen is inexcusable." Light said. They looked up and saw Light on top of the wall. "Your sense of justice is questionable at best." "What?" Surge asked. "The Sword of Logos as it stands does not embody justice." Light told them. "You are the ones on the wrong path." Before anyone could respond to her, people screams were being heard down below. When Flash and Twilight looked to what it was, they saw the two Yeti Megid chasing people. "A Megido?!" Surge ask when he saw them as well. He took out his driver and his King Lion Daisenki before he jumped down from the roof and transformed into Kamen Rider Blades, King Lion Daisenki form. ~King Lion Daisenki! "Surge, wait!" Flash try to tell him something but Blades was already on his way down just as the two Megidos froze the people running from them. Blades came down and slashed both Yeit Megidos with his sword. When he went for another strike, one Yeti blocked just when Saber and Ember in their Upgrade forms came in. "Wait, Surge!" Ember called out to Blades as he fought the two Megid. Saber ran and pushed Blades back away from the two Megid. "Why are you stopping me?" Blades asked. "Those are Megido!" "One of them is a person while the other is a pony from Equestria!" Saber told Blades. One of the Megido attack Saber while he had his back turned. "Legeiel turned them into Megido!" Ember explained as she dodged the other Yeti Megid attack. "That's nonsense!" Blades shouted. "Why would regular homo-sapiens and a equestrian from another world turn into Megido?" He asked while Saber and Ember try to block the attacks and not to hurt them. Light watch them from nearby and saw they are not doing so well. "Flash! Twilight!" She called out to them. "Cut them down!" "No!" Ember shouted as she ducked under the Yeit Megido. "We can't!" Saber shouted as he hold the other. It got free and punched him back and to the ground. "You've both also sided with the Megido..." Blades said. "We haven't!" Saber shouted as he looked at Blades. Saber stood as he heard Blades shouted with anger before he charged past Saber and attack one of the Yeti Megid. "Surge, stop!" Saber shouted as charge at Blades and stood infront of the Megido he is fighting. "St-" The Megido pushed Saber aside before he could finish and continue to fight Blades. "Just stop and listen, Surge!" Saber shouted as he hold Blades after he pushed the Megido to the ground. Light sigh at the sight of this. "The apex of chaos this is." She said just as Beat walked in and saw this as well before looking at Light. "We also have orders to retrieve you." Beat told her. "You'll be questioned at Southern Base." "Let's see if you can catch me then." Light said as she pulled out her Seiken-Saikoudriver and placed it on her waist. Beat took out her sword just as Light pulled out her Wonder Ride Book while pulling the lever. Gold or Sliver? Beat took out her Wonder Ride Book and placed it in her sword before she pull the trigger that opened the book up. Hanselnuts to Gretel Light place the book in her driver and pulled it out to open the book up. Release the Radiance! "Henshin!" They both shouted as Beat thrust her sword forward and Light's body turned into dust and went into the sword and her shadow rise. Gunblade Stage Shot! Who is This? Saikou Second Chapter: The shadow born from the light; Shadow! Now with Beat transformed into Kamen Rider Slash and Light transformed into the Sword of Light, Saikou the shadow stretch its arm out and clashed blades with Slash. Slash jumped high and was about to strike, but the shadow went down into the ground with the sword and moved behind her. The shadow then slashed Slash from the back causing her to fall to the ground. The sword then watch Saber and Ember try their best with fight with the two Yeti Megid and trying to keep Blades from destroying them. When Blades went for a strike, Saber blocked him with his sword. "You can't!" Saber told Blades before the Megido behind him pushed his aside and got struck by Blades. Ember and Saber stopped him before he could do anything else. "Surge! Just listen!" Ember shouted before one of the Yeti Megid tackled Blades and punched Saber into Ember that caused them to fall to the ground. Blades then opened the mouth of his Booster and placed his Lion Senki book in it. King Lion Booster One Reading Lion Senki Bubbling Burst! When Blades try to blast the two Yeti Megid, they foze the blast before it could hit them. But then he shot multiple times at the two but not doing any damage. "What?!" Blades was confused why it didn't do any damage. "Surge, please stop!" Ember shouted as she and Saber got up from the ground. They both ran over to Blades and hold him as he was setting up his finisher. The two Megidos then shot a wave a ice breath at them and froze them in place. "Dammit!" Saber thought. "Not again!" Ember thought. "Flash, Twilight, why...?" Blades thought. "What a handful..." Saikou said before it flew out and the shadow vanished. The sword then slashed both Yeit Megidos before it shined its light to free the three frozen riders. It the fly out and free the people that were frozen as well. "So that's the Sword of Light." Slash said to herself as she is amazed by the sword's powers. "What immense power..." "In that case..." Blades said as he scans his Booster with his sword. Special! Hmm, hmm, hmmm! "Surge, stop! Don't do it!" Saber shouted but Blades didn't listen as he raised his sword and perpar to strike. Concluding Flash! Blades then slashed his sword at the two Megid but Saber used his sword to block the attack, but it pushed him back before Saber took the hit. Saber transformed back to Flash with all the damaged he took and soon fell to the ground. "Flash..." Blades said as he can't believe he took the hit for the enemy. The two Megidos then took the opportunity to get away from the riders. Both Ember and Saikou went over to Flash. "There you go being reckless again..." Saikou told Flash before the sword spun around in the air and glowed bright. When the light die down, the three vanished. Back at Fantastic Books, Fluttershy was wrapping a bandage around Flash's arm after Saikou got them back there and they told the others what happened. "I can't believe Surge..." Rarity said as she helped Fluttershy. "It seems he's too stubborn... And never listens!" She pulled on the bandage too tight and hurt Flash who grunt in pain. "Oh! Sorry Darling!" "Making a lot of noise for a mere flesh wound." Light said as she played with the dispenser near the door. After she turned the dial on it she pulled the small toy prize ball from it and open it to get a small bear. "A bear..." "We gotta do something..." Twilight said as she walked around the room. "And what will that be?" Light asked as she put the bear back and turned the dial on the dispenser again. "Savind Soarin's mom, firstly." Flash said when walked up to her. "Then cut her already." Light told him when she threw a prize ball behind her and it fell in front of Flash and out came a small toy elephant. "Isn't there another way to save my mom without cutting her?" Soarin asked. "She's my mom and I'm pretty sure that my pony self will agree with me." "Soarin. I will help save her, that I promise." Rainbow Dash said as she patted Soarin's back. "Why don't you two just kiss already?" Lightning Dust asked. Both Soarin and Rainbow Dash looked at each before they looked away with a small blush on their faces. "Well, we need all the help we need to save her and her pony counterpart." Twilight said. "But it will be even harder now that Surge thinks me and Flash are working with the Megido now." "Look, I know this swordsmen and paladin thing is an important job." Spitfire spoke. "But, we all want to help her, no matter what." "I'll do it." Flash told Spitfire. "So will I." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash and Sunset stood beside her and agreed to help. "It's a promise." Both Soarin and Spitfire nodded yes as they know they can trust them, while Lightning Dust just shrugged. Twilight then looked at Light. "Hear us out..." Light stop playing with the dispenser and look at Twilight and the others. "There are so many people in the world and same goes for Equestria too. Both worlds is built on the people and ponies living in those worlds to their fullest." Twilight then went down and picked up the toy elephant. "When we say we want to protect the two worlds, it means protecting those living in them." She handed the toy elephant to Light. "People and ponies make the two worlds...?" Light asked. "Fascinating." She took a moment to think before she picked up the Sword-X-Woman on a table. "I see! What it means to save the world has changed across a thousand years. Show me then. Show me what it means to protect the two worlds and its people." "Of course!" Flash said. He, Twilight, and the others smile as well as Light. "Still, how will you separate the Megido from my mom?" Soarin asked. "Good question." Rainbow Dash said. "Well..." Twilight said as she thought it over. As they thought about how to save Soarin's mother, Light was playing with a toy toaster and when she hit the switch the two toy bread flew out of it and that gave Twilight the idea how to save Soarin's mother. Later we see Flash, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Soarin, their pony counterparts, Sunset, and Light running to a warehouse. Once they made it inside, Rainbow Dash called out to see if the Yeti Megidos are here. "Mrs. Sky! Mrs. Sky, where are you?" Each of them call out to them when they were standing behind them. "Help us!!" The pony version shouted to get their attention. When they looked at them, the spot they are sowing right where they are. "Please..." The human counterpart asked. "Help us!!" They both shouted before they felt pain in them both. A burst of darkness came from them and they transformed into the Yeti Megidos again. Yeti of the White Snow! As they brought out their drivers, they heard Legeiel laugh. "You're too late." He told as he step out from the shadows. "The new book will be completed momentarily. And once it does, this human and pony will be no more. Permanently erased from both worlds!" "We'll save them both!" Flash shouted as he and the girls ready their drivers and puts them on. "Me and my paladin will take him on." Light said as she hold up her driver. "You three go save Soarin's precious mother." "That's the plan." Rainbow Dash said as each of them takes out their Wounder Ride Books. "You guys know what to do when it happens?" She asked Soarin and their pony counterparts, who nodded yes. Brave Dragon Wonder Paladin Gold or Sliver? Flash place his book with the other two in his driver, just as Twilight, Sunset, Rainbow Dash and Light did with theirs. They each activate their drivers and the books open up. Release the Radiance! Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! "Henshin!" All five of them shouted as they transformed into their rider forms. Flash to Saber, Crimson Dragon combo, Twilight to Ember, Sunset to Shine, Rainbow Dash to Whirlwind, and Light to the Sword of Light, Saikou with the Shadow. ~Crimson Dragon ~Wonder Paladin! ~Who is This? Saikou second Chapter The five riders charged just as Legeiel transformed into his Megid form. Saber, Ember, and Whirlwind took on the two Megido while Saikou and Shine took on Legeiel. Saber took hold one Yeti Megido while Ember and Whirlwind pushed the other back. Saikou and Shine clashed blades with Legeiel. Saber and the other two paladins pushed the two Megido back before one head but Saber while the other punched both Whirlwind and Ember. The two Megidos managed to knock all three of them to the ground. Shine and Saikou continue to clashed blades with Legeiel and doing quite well. When Legeiel try to kick the Shadow, his leg just went through it. Both Saikou and Shine then struck him while he had his back turned. Legeiel stumbled forward before he stabbed the ground with his sword and send big rocks at both Saikou and Shine. Shine was able to dodged them while they just went through the Shadow and the two slashed Legeiel when they got close. Both Yeit Megidos kicked Sabe, Ember, and Whirlwind with powerful winds. "Are all alright?!" Princess Twilight asked. When they got up, one of the Yeti Megid kicked Saber back down and beat him while he is down. "This is fine!" Saber shouted while the Yeti Megid beat him. Legeiel clashed blades with both Saikou and Shine. "Seems he's given up!" Legeiel said when he sees Saber get beat up by the Yeit Megido. Both Saikou and Shine pushed and slashed Legeiel back. "What are they up to...?" Saikou asked. The second Yeti Megid threw Ember right at Whirlwind as the first one picked up Saber punch him in the chest. When they struck them again, they fell to the ground. "It's all part of the plan." Shine told Saikou. "Still not...?" Ember asked while they were on the ground. "We're almost there." Legeiel said. "The next strike will compete the book within the Megidos." The two Megidos then blew freez breaths at the three riders and froze them in place. After they did that, the books on their chests glow red and the the book inside one of them became completely crupted and turned into a Altar Book. "It's done!!" Shouted both Yeit Megidos as the Altar Book came out of one of them. "Now!" Saber, Ember, and Whirlwind thought while they were frozen before the ice around them started to break and they burst out of it. They then slashed the Altar Book and destroyed it. On the ground lay both the human and pony counterparts of Soarin's mother, alive and well. Both Yeit Megidos were confused by this that they didn't see Saber and the two paladins strike both of them. Both Soarins ran over to their mom. "Mom!" They both shouted. "Are you alright?!" Human Soarin asked. With them back to normal, the ponies started to be see through and that means they are slowly returning back to Equestria. "Soarin? Where are we?" Mrs. Sky asked whe she saw her son. When she saw her pony counterpart she was shocked that it looks like her and when she saw the Yeti Megidos, she screamed a bit. "What are those things?" "Soarin, take your mom and go!" Saber told him as he faced the two Megid. Both Soarins agree before Princes Twilight used her magic to teleport them but the riders out of there. Legeiel is frustrated by this but Saikou was amazed. "They gambled on the moment the book completed by allowing themselves to be attacked." She said. "That's right. We knew that the book had to come out at some point and Twilight thought if we destroyed it, the person and the pony might be saved." Shine said. "They possess both guts and luck I see." Saikou said as both the Yeti Megidos got up from the ground. "How did you break out of our ice?!" One of them asked. "These two can command fire, you ice blocks!" Whirlwind shouted as she pointed at Saber and Ember. "That's right, we wrapped ourselves in a swirl of flames just before that last attack hit!" Ember explained. As we get a flashback to that point, we see Saber pushed back the cover of the Storm Eagle book. Storm Eagle "You bastards!" The other one shouted. "That was great!" Saikou said before Legeiel went for an attack as the Shadow vanished and the sword struck him a few times. The sword then flew over to Saber after it struck both Yeit Megidos. "I have seen and acknowledged your resolve." The sword said to them. "We will never give in until the end." Saber told Saikou. "Perhaps you are worthy of wielding power. Now, brandish me!" Saikou told Saber. "Alright!" Saber said as he placed his sword back in the driver and then he and Ember took out their Dragonic Knight and Dragonic Paladin books. Dragonic Knight Dragonic Paladin After they took out the books in their drivers, they place the new ones in them. Saber then draw out his sword as Ember pressed the button on her driver and their books opened up. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! ~Dragonic Knight! In other words, it's the strongest! Radiant Blade Saikou Ikazuchi, the Sword of Lightning With Saber and Ember in their Upgrade forms, Ember draw out the Sword of Lightning as Saber took hold of the Sword of Light. The two Megidos and Legeiel charged at the riders and both Saber and Ember blocked their attacks before Saber and Shine strike the two Megid while Ember and Whirlwind slashed Legeiel back. Then each rider slashed all three of them a few times as they work together to fight them. Saber then threw the Sword of Light at Legeiel and it struck Legeiel a few times as it flew around before it flew back to Saber. Embe, Whirlwind, and Shine slashed both Yeit Megidos and send them rolling on the ground. "We determine how this story ends!" Saber declared as he pressed the button on the Sword of Light. Release the Radiance! "That's right!" Saikou shouted. Legeiel charged at them as he clashed blades with Saber. Both Whirlwind and Shine then slashed Legeiel as Saber and Ember perpar to the finisher. "Reading Radiance Lightning Slash!" Both Saber and Ember declared as they slash their swords and four slash waves were sent right at the two Megid and destroy them. Good Luck "I'll remember this!" Legeiel shouted as left. As the two Megid exploded, Saber and the paladins did a pose with them holding their swords up. Later they transformed out of their rider forms and Light returned back to her human form. Sunset was on the phone, talking to Rarity who is telling her that the ponies have returned back to Equestria as they walked out of the warehouse. "Your minds seems clearer." Light told Flash and Twilight. "We won't hesitate any more." Flash told Light as Twilight nod in agreement with him. "Not only that, but we'll explain everything to the others until they understand." Twilight added. "And we'll protect both worlds. As long as we keep at it, I'm sure I'll see Star again." Flash, Rainbow Dash, and Sunset smile. "And we'll be by your side. No matter what." Sunset said. "I'll fight with you." Light spoke up. "But first, we need to set the Sword of Logos straight." "Right." Flash said. "But I a feeling it won't be easy." "However, a word of caution..." Light said. "I can't get behind that method." "That method?" Rainbow asked. "That way of separating human and their pony counterpart from Megido is far too dangerous." Light told them. "That's true..." Twilight said. "My blade can separate them quite easily." Light told them. "That's true..." Twilight said again before they just realize what she just told them. "WWWWWHHHHAAATTTT?!?!?!" They all shouted. "If you can do that, why didn't you do it sooner?!?!?!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "I've been trying to cut them." Light said. "You were the ones trying to stop me." As she walked away, they were stunned by what she meant when she kept saying, "cut them down." "You're not wrong but-" Flash started before they followed her. "Wait up!" Back in Tassel's house, Tassel was spinning his umbrella before he spoke. "Flash, the girls, the CMCs, Spike, Sprit, and Light make for a dazzling team yet! That's a real relief..." He said as he closed his umbrella. "After all, plenty of chaos lies just ahead." He said as he looked out the window. At the Southern Base. Surge is sitting alone and thinking why was Flash and Twilight protecting those Megidos. "Flash Sentry now wields the Sword of Light." Mist said to Surge as she walked down the stairs. "At this rate, he and Twilight will obtain the great power. Have you finally steeled your resolve?" She asked Surge. "My resolve...?" Surge asked himself. He thought about it before looking at a pendant with the Sword of Logos symbol on it. The Story Continue > Volume 1, chapter 19: Flame with Light, blade with blade. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to inside Tassel's house where we see him behind his fireplace. "Why..." He started before two more of him popped out from nowhere. "Bonne Lecture everyone! I was a bit concerned at first, but it's a relief that Flash, the main seven, and Light are getting along." All three of them said at the same time before a book flew out and opened itself to show us what happened in the last chapter. "However, Surge and co. are still at odds with them-" Tassel said as we see Saber and Ember try to protect the two Megid that is Soarin's mother from both worlds from Blades. "-and the Megido have kicked off a new scheme... Will they be alright?" We then see Saber and Ember finishing off the two Yeti Megid after separating Soarin's mom. "I'm so worried about them..." A new book flew out and opened up as we get pulled in to the next chapter. "SERIOUSLY?!?!?!" The rest of the main seven, the CMCs, Spike, Sprit, Soarin, Spitfire, and Lightning Dust shouted. It was the next day and Flash, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Sunset told the others what Light told them. "Why didn't you say so sooner?" Sprit asked Light. "I mean really! How were we supposed to know what to do if you don't say "USE ME"?!" Flash shouted. "Well you didn't ask." Light told them. "Yeah, but still! You could have done it in the first place!" Spike told Light. "If we knew your blade could separate human and pony from Megido, we could've settled it without that method." Twilight said but Light was focused on Rarity's phone that she set down on the table. "Do you have any idea how worried I was over my mom's situation?" Soarin asked. "Just use me next time." Light said as she still looked at the phone. "Besides, there's more to be cautious about than just the Megido." "You're referring to Sword of Logos right?" Rarity asked. "The swordsmen have been relentlessly pursuing your Sacred Sword and Wonder Ride Books." Light said as she slide a bit closer to Rarity's phone. "But they technically own the books and swords, don't they?" Sprit asked. "True. They're the ones that distributed the books between the swordsmen of the north and south." Light answered as she moved closer to Rarity's phone. "But right now..." "Since Sophia disappeared, the Southern Base has been gathering the swords and books..." Fluttershy finished Light's sentence. "But for what exactly?" Spike asked. "To reform the chapter of omniscience, as a source of great power." Light answered. "Numerous books listed in the transcript of contents are required, along with the Sacred Swords to guide its restoration. And if that happens, the barrier that separates this world and Equestria will be destroyed and both will merge with Wonder World." She explained as she stood up. "That chapter would then give one the power to rewrite both worlds." She said as she faced them and walked backwards to the table with Rarity's phone. "And our traitor seeks that power...?" Sweetie Bell asked. "That's why they exploited Arabia and her uncle..." Twilight said. "Assuming they aim to misuse it, the worlds will be in gave danger." Light told them as she sneaky took Rarity's phone and puts it in her back pocket. "The Megido is a given, but we also need to set the organisation straight." At the Southern Base, Mist gathered the others in the main meeting room. "Flash Sentry now wields the Sword of Light." She told them. "Suspicious disappearances have been occurring. While they're likely a Megido's doing, he and Twilight Sparkle may also be involved." "There's no evidence-" Surge walked up to her and was about to tell her off before she spoke up. "You saw them covering for two Megidos yourself, did you not?" Mist asked Surge. Surge didn't answer because he didn't know what to say. "Power in their hands poses a threat." "And we still don't know where Sophia is?" Terra asked. "The Megido may have her confined somewhere." Mist told Terra. "Or perhaps..." At the Megido lar. Legeiel yelled in anger over Saber and Ember destroying the two Yeti Megid. "The book was done!!" He shouted. "Doesn't matter when it's been destroyed." Zooous told him and that just made Legeiel yelled again. "Just keep making more then! We've got a few out there already." For the last few days, Storious and Zooous were going out at night and turning people into Megido and as the people turned into Megido, so do their Equestrian counterparts. "Storious has found us our next target!" Inside of a bed room somewhere is a little boy with brown hair and pur white skin with a little brown spot on his left eye. This boy's name is Pipsqueak, he is a student from Canterlot school and a friend of the CMCs. At this moment, he is building a lego scale model of a castle that looks strangely exactly like Canterlot castle. "Almost done." He said. After he placed a lego brick in place, he looked out the window and he can see Wonder World out of it. He thought to himself why can't the kids at school see it too. Just then the room went dark and Storious is in the room with him. "How about I grant you the power power to fulfill that wish." He said as he walked closer to Pip before placing the blank book on him. Pipsqueak yelled in pain as the book transformed him into the Ousama Megid. The Barefooted King! "Surprise!" The Megido said. "The king has arrived!" On a bridge, Mist is alone and on her Gatriker Phone with someone. "Flash Sentry has now used the Sword of Light." She told whoever is on the other end. "As expected, he and Twilight Sparkle are the very keys we've been seeking." Once she was done talking to the person on the other end of the phone, she hanged up. Meanwhile, the Ousama Megid arrive at Canterlot school and is ready to cause chaos. "Alright then! Megidonk Bobbidi-Boo!" He shouted as he pointed his staff at the road and the cars on it with the people inside disappear. "Come on, come on!" Soon the cars reappeared where he is. "We gotta pin down that true enemy in the organisation..." Twilight said. "Easy! Just get Surge or one of them to help us!" Sprit said as she flew infront of Twilight. "We can't right now..." Flash said. "Not while they don't trust us." "Then we just need to get them to trust us again!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "Easier said than done, Sugercube." Applejack said. "To protect the worlds, the Sacred Swords and Wonder Ride Books along with us swordsmen are necessary." Light told them as she checked out Rarity's phone. "We must return them to the right path. Not to mention, the enemy should reveal themselves if the blades and books are gathered." "And that will lead to Star." Twilight said as she walked over to Light. Light quickly hide Rarity's phone before Twilight could see it. "Light, do you know anything about her?" "The girl that disappeared into the book, correct?" Light asked just to be sure. "Yup, that's the one." Sprit said as she landed on Twilight's sholder. "She was very precious to you both, wasn't she?" Sunset asked. "She taught us the joys of reading books. So, I guess you can say she's the resone why I love books." Twilight said. "For me, Sprit, and Arabia, she was an irreplaceable friend. But because of me..." "It wasn't your fault!" Sprit told her. "The one at fault is that "true enemy"! Right?" "Still..." Twilight said sounding sad. "What's wrong?" Flash asked to see what's bothering her. "Nah. I'll definitely save her." Twilight said. "I heard her voice. I know she's alive." "If so, the organisation can't ignore this either." Light said before she hold out her hand and when it glowed, a book appeared in her hand. "Long ago, there was once a special woman who first connected the two worlds." When Light told them this and hand Twilight the book, Twilight remember what her father told her, Flash, Spike, and Sprit. When Sombra was Calibur and why he and his two paladins went for Star. They told her dad and mom that Star is a special existence that helps connect the three worlds. "So Star's like her?" Twilight asked Light. "Most likely." Light responded. "But she wasn't in Wonder World." "Then where...?" Sprit asked. "If that girl chose you, Twilight..." Light said. "...and she knows who Flash is as well. You both really may be fated to obtain power." Rarity's phone made a loud noise that scared Light. "Why've you got my phone?" Rarity asked as she took her phone back. When she scold Light, Twilight open the book up and she, Sprit, and Flash read what's inside. "People have been going missing apparently?" Rarity said as she read the alert on her phone. Could it be a Megido?" "It must be!" Sunset said as she had the book Princess Twilight gave her out. "Because the samething is happening in Equestria. Princess Twilight said that ponies have vanished and some others said they saw a monster." "Hey guys." Soarin spoke up. "My mom wants to talk to us about something." Later the group joined Mrs. Sky and she was freaking out. "Just when I thought I was starting to see a weird world after that pony that looked like me appeared last year, I suddenly turned into a monster!" Mrs. Sky explained what happened. Soarin try to calm her down as she went over to Flash. "So anyway, who or what was doing the swordfighting?" "Mom! Calm down!" Soarin told her. "I am calm, I am!" His mother shouted just as a tea maker went off. Light was checking out the tea maker while the others talked. "Ahhh, but I still don't get it! I thought maybe an exclusive article... But who's going to believe it? And I can't see that weird world anymore either! Soarin, does that friend of yours know something about this?" She asked him while pointing at Rainbow Dash. "Me? No I don't..." Rainbow Dash said but Mrs. Sky was not buying. "You definitely do! And that goes for the rest of your friends!" She said as she pointed to her friends. Applejack covered her face with her hat while the others just looked away. "Spill the beans!" Mrs. Sky demanded. "We know nothing!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "It's all over your f-" Mrs. Sky was cut short when Light placed her hand on Mrs. Sky's face. A glow shine as Light was doing something. "Hey! What are you doing to my mom!" Soarin asked when he and the others saw what she was doing. When Light stopped, Mrs. Sky was confused. "Soarin? What are you and your friends doing here?" She asked. "Those bad memories are unnecessary." Light said. "Now she can go in peace." "Who are you?" Mrs. Sky asked whe she saw Light. As Light returned to check out the tea maker, both Sunset and Twilight went over to her. "You can erased memories?" Sunset whispered to Light. Just then the book in Spike's bag shine and alerted them. Spike quickly took it out and opened it up. "We got trouble!" Spike said and the others knew what they had to do. At the Southern Base, Surge sits and was thinking about Flash and Twilight and if he can still trust them or not. "Don't torment yourself." Terra told Surge. "Flash or Twilight hasn't done anything wrong yet." "They trusted Arabia's killer!" Wind shouted. "Is that not "wrong" enough for you?" She asked as she looked at Terra. "And you need to cool off a bit!" Terra told Wind as he walked over to her. "Those two- They're probably in the loop with things we aren't. Listen, our job right now is putting a stop to the Megido and rescuing Sophia. Don't forget that." Beat lean agenst the wall and thought about what Light told her and Surge the other day. About how the Sword of Logos as it stands does not embody justice and how she and the others are the ones on the wrong path. Beat wondered what Light meant by all that. "Could that..." She thought. With the Ousama Megid, he had the cars stack infront of the school. "How pleasant, how amusing!" He shouted as the one in Equestria started to appear next to him. Soon the riders arrived at the place and the four puppets appeared with them. "My tummy's itching..." Both Megidos said. "What's going on?!" Apple Bloom asked as she and the others saw the stack cars. "Don't know, but we gotta protect the city." Flash said. "Let's go!" He said as he and the others brought out their drivers and the puppets ready their swords. Light however was distracted by the cars. "Retreating!" Shouted the Megido as he pointed his staff at them and a car nearly landed on them. When they looked up the Megido escaped. "What?" Light asked when she saw the Megido is gone. "What a coward." Unbeknownst to them, Storious watch the hole thing from where he is standing. "Just like that." Storious said. "There's no need for fighting." He then left before anyone could see him. Terra was walking through a tunnel with Beat as he talked to her. "Surge is still brooding and Wind looks like she's about to explode." "Not a pleasant state of affairs at all." Beat said. "The Sword of Light said that the Sword of Logos was not on the side of justice." "It did?" Terra asked. "I can't imagine one of the forefather Sacred Swords lying..." Beat said as she walked over to a wall and lean agenst it. "We're gathering the books and swords to watch over them. "Terra reminded her. "I do believe in the organisation, but we need to make sure." "She's a fascinating one." Beat said. "I will cross swords with them to ascertain the Sword of Light and Rekka's true intentions." After she told Terra what she planned to do, he scoffed. "I see our swordsmith's excited." Terra said. "I'll take care of Surge and Wind." He told her before they parted ways. The group returned back to Fantastic Books and was confused by the Megido. "What was with that Megido?" Rainbow asked. "It just took off when it saw us!" "Maybe it must've known it couldn't beat us!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "Nah. Maybe something else." Twilight said. "Hello." Pipsqueak said to the group. When they looked, they saw Pipsqueak here with the CMCs and Spike. "Uh when did he get here?" Lightning Dust asked as she pointed at Pipsqueak. "We saw him when came back from, the you what." Sweetie Bell told them, just as Luna came in. "Hi!" Pipsqueak greeted. "And well I just wanted to check out the place where my friends have been going a lot lately. Plus, that mode train set it amazing." He pointed to the train set on the table. While Pipsqueak explained why he was here, Light picked up the Sword-X Women comic book and open it up to read it. "The detailing is astounding!" "You a fan of dioramas and models, Pip?" Luna asked. "Well sorta." Pipsqueak answered before he pulled out his phone and pull up an image of the lego castle he was working on. "But I have been working on this for quite some time now. Right now, I'm trying to create a castle I saw in my dreams." "Woah! This looks great!" Spike said when he saw the castle. The others were also impressed, but Sunset was surprised to see it looks similar to Canterlot castle. "I must say Pip, you really out done yourself." Luna complemented. "You know, my mom always wrote books stuffed with her dreams. At least that's what she told me." Twilight told Pipsqueak. Pipsqueak smiled before he felt pain inside him and dropped his phone. "Pip? Pip, what's wrong?!" Luna asked sounding worried. "But...I...." Pipsqueak said before he turned his back to them and lift his shirt to see the book in him start to glow. He quickly ran past the group and ran outside. "Wait up! What's wrong!?" Apple Bloom asked as she, Scootaloo, Sweetie Bell, Spike, Flash, Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy went after him. Light watch them leave before she closed the comic book and followed them. The CMCs, Spike, Flash, Twilight, Luna, Rarity, and Fluttershy ran down the street to look for Pipsqueak. But they stopped to realised that he's long gone before they heard him moan in pain. He hide behind a heged as he felt pain inside, the group that followed him ran over to him. "No..." He told them when they found him before he glowed and transformed into the Ousama Megid. The Barefooted King! "What's with the no, no, no?" The Ousama Megid asked as he appeared. "A Megido?! It was you?" Flash asked when he and the others saw Pipsqueak was the Megido from before. Another appeared next to the first one before it burst out dark energy and the CMCs, Twilight, Flash, Luna, Rarity, Fluttershy, Spike, and Smolder from Equestria appeared next to their counterparts and the second Ousama became soiled. "Not again! Let me guess, your world's Pipsqueak turned into a Megido too?" Pegasus Flash asked his human counterpart before the two Megid shouted. "Let's pile on more and more!" Both Megidos shouted before they pointed their staffs and cars started to pilled in the area they're in. "Surprise! One on top of the other, sparkle-sparkle!" "Pip..." Both Lunas said as they both care for Pipsqueak. "Hang on, we're coming to save you!" Twilight told them before she, Flash, Rarity, and Fluttershy took out their drivers and puts them on. "You're what now?" One of the Megido asked them as they took out their Wounder Ride Books. Brave Dragon Wonder Paladin "Shoo, shoo, you annoyances!" Shouted the other one as they placed their books in their drivers. "Henshin!" Flash and the three girls shouted as Flash draw out his sword and the girls pressed the button on their drivers and they transformed into their rider forms. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! ~Brave Dragon! ~Wonder Paladin! The human CMCs and Spike took out the swords Light gave them and pressed the buttons on the handles. Books appeared around them as each of their puppets appeared. As for Light, she was sitting on the ground and was too busy reading the comic book before Spike had his puppet to try and take the book from her. "Come on Light, we need you right now!" Spike shouted as his puppet couldn't get the comic away from Light. Meanwhile at the Southern Base. Mist walked out to the balcony at the top of the stairs and looked down at Surge, Wind, Beat and Terra in the room. "A Megido has been sighted." She told them. "A Megido?" Surge asked. Both he and Wind started to went for the door before Terra spoke up and stop them. "Wait you two!" He shouted before Beat spoke up. "I'll deal with this." She told them before she headed out. Terra knew that she is really going to fight Flash and know for certain whether or not if he and Twilight are still on the right path. Back with the fight with Saber, the three paladins, and the four puppets. They weren't doing so well as both Saber and Ember rolled on the ground by the two Ousama Megid. Both Aqua and Reverb used their swords to blocked the attacks when the two Megid went for them. "Let Pip go you monstrosities!" Alicorn Luna demanded as she fired a magic beam at them. The two Megidos used the puppets to take the hits for them. The two then hit both Saber and Ember with their staffs when they got up and blast back to the ground. "We haven't completed our kingdom yet!" One of them told them. "Boom!" They both shouted as the swung their staffs and nearly hit both Saber and Ember. "Boom!" They hit the ground this time and the power surge went right Saber and Ember. "Pip..." Saber said as he and Ember struggle to get up. "Light...!" He shouted as he used his sword to steady himself. The two Megidos laughed at this as they knew they have no shot. "How pleasant! How amusing!" Both Megidos shouted. "Well you stop reading that comic and protect the world already?!" Smolder shouted as she and dragon Spike pulled Light up. "I like it!" Light said as she closed the comic book. She then noticed that the others were having truble with the two Ousama Megid. "I see what's going on." She said before putting on her driver and took out her Wonder Ride Book. Gold or Sliver? Light then flipped the leaver on her driver and place the book in it. She then pulled out her sword and the book open up. Unleashed the Radiance! "Henshin!" Light said as her body turned into dust and went into the sword itself before she got one last look at the cover of the comic book. ~Who is the Shining Sword?[/i[ The sword flew over to the two Megid and slashed them both before it was shot back by Storious. "Can you not interfere, please?" He asked as he came out from where he was hiding. He then transformed into his Megid form and made five copies of himself. As two of his copies went after Saber and Ember, Saber place his sword back in his driver and place the Storm Eagle and Saiyuu Journey books in his driver before he drew his sword back out to switch to his Crimson Dragon combo. Unsheathe the Flame! ~Crimson Dragon! The other two copies went after Reverb and Aqua and each copy clashed blades with the riders. Both Saber and Ember dodged the copies attacks while Aqua and Reverb continue to clashed blades with the other two. The last copy went after the puppets and they did their best to fight it. "Come on then.~" Each copy said to each rider as they over power them. The first two struck both Saber and Ember while the other two knock Aqua and Reverb down. The last copy strike the puppets right at the human CMCs and Spike and they were knocked a few feet back. Little did any of them know, four balls of light floated by and the CMCs and Spike crashed into them. Soon Saikou got up and flew over to one of the copies and slashed it, while pony Rarity, Princess Twilight, Flash and Fluttershy along with Spike the dragon and Smolder and the CMCs went to check on the human CMCs and Spike. "Hey! Are you guy...okay?" Smolder asked, what she and the others saw confused them. Apple Bloom stood up and she was wearing a yellow Japanese kimono, her eyes glowed yellow, and there's a yellow strike in her hair that was tied up in a bun. Scootaloo stood up next and she was wearing a blue female business suit while her eyes glowed blue and her hair had blue strike in it. Sweetie Bell jumped up and she is wearing a purple jacket with a cap and her hair is all messy with bright purple strike in it and her eyes glowed bright purple. Lastly, Spike stood up with a red scarf around his neck, his hair is standing up with a red strike in it, and his eyes glowed red. "Sweetie Bell!! What are you wearing?!?!?!?" Rarity and Aqua asked as they are horrified by Sweetie Bell's new look. "Well, this is a big trun around!" Sweetie Bell spoke in a different voice before she dance like a hip-hoper. "What ever this is, I will show them my strength!" Apple Bloom said in a strong deep voice as she cracked her neck. "This could be very butieful." Scootaloo said in a swave voice. Each of the girls sounded like full grown guys for some reason. "Hey, why do you sound like guys?" Pony Scootaloo asked as she and the others were confused by all this. "Nevermind that! Looks like we are in the middle of a fight, and when I'm around we don't do sit ups and we don't do warning shots!" Spike said with his voice sound a bit aggressive before he and the three pull out sliver belts with four different color buttons on them and a symbol on the front as they puts them on their waist. " We turn our fights up to eleven, from the start (to the finish), at a climax!" Spike pressed the red button on his belt, Scootaloo pressed the blue one, Apple Bloom pressed the yellow button, and Sweetie Bell pressed the purple button on her's and each belt made different sounds as the pulled out a rectangular train pass. "Henshin!" They each said as they scanned the passes and they transformed. Sword Form Rod Form! Ax Form! Gun Form! The others were shocked that they just transform into Kamen Riders and then Spike did a pose as he spoke. "Ore... sanjou!" "You... mind if I reel you in?" Scootaloo asked as she too did a pose. "My strength, it has brought you to tears. Wipe your tears with this." Apple Bloom said after what looked to be a sumo pose. "Is it okay if I kill you? Can't hear your answer!" Sweetie Bell shouted as spun around and did a pose. Then they each took pieces on the sides of their belts and put them together to create wepons. Spike made a sword, Scootaloo made a rod, Apple Bloom made an ax, and Sweetie Bell made a gun. They then charged and join the fight. As Saber and Ember clashed blades with two copies of Storious, Spike came and slashed his sword at one of the copies as Sweetie Bell blasted the other. Both Scootaloo and Apple Bloom struck the one copy of Storious that is fighting Aqua and Reverb. Saber try to fly up but on the copies used some energy rope to grab him and another blast him. Saber fell to the ground and Ember stood infront of him to protect him. "A fascinating technique, but still powerless before me." Saikou said as the sword attack one of the copies and clashed blades with it. "Did that sword just talk?!" Spike asked as he fight the other copy. "Let there be light!" Saikou shouted before the sword shin bright. Release the Radiance! Good Luck. The bright light destroy the remaining copies leaving the real one left standing. "That's handy." Scootaloo said. "How interesting." Storious said. "Is this yet another power of the Sword of Light?" He asked before Saber and Spike charged at Storious and clashed blades with him. As they fought Storious, the two Ousama Megid continue to stack cars. "Stack on up and up!" The two Megid shouted. The sword's button glowed and the shadow appeared. Who is This? Saikou second Chapter The shadow born from the light; SHADOW! "Now that's something you don't see everyday!" Sweetie Bell shouted when she saw the shadow. The shadow turned and we see Slash walk in. "Sword of Light, I want to understand your intentions!" Slash shouted to the sword. "Then carry out your duty as a swordswoman!" Saikou told Slash. Slash ready her sword before both her and the shadow charged at each other clashed blades. "Guess that just leaves us with the two over there." Apple Bloom said to Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo before the three charged at the two Megid and fought them. With Saikou and Slash, Saikou pushed Slash back and the shadow pushed the button on the sword. Release the Radiance! When they clashed blades, sparks came off the Sword of Light and Slash knew something. "This attack...!" She said before she spin around and pushed the shadow back with a slash of her sword and cancel out the attack. "That's some interesting swordplay." Saikou complemented. The two waved their swords as the Sword of Light was covered in shadow and Slash's sword was covered in pink light. They then slashed at each other and the two slashed waves clashed with each other before an explosion pushed the shadow back a tiny bit. "I guess Shadow really isn't enough..." With Saber and Spike, the two swung their swords as Storious step back from each slash and clash with them. The two manage to strike him back just as Slash and Reverb came from behind and Storious clashed blades with them. "Return Sophia to us!" Slash demand as she clash blades with him. "We know it was you!" "What are you blabbing on about?" Storious asked. "Has your Northern Guardian disappeared?" He pushed both of them back. "What?!" Slash asked. "You didn't know?!" Back with the fight with the two Ousama Megid and the CMCs, they continue to fight as the cars continue to stack. The two Megidos knock the CMCs back before they yelled in joy. "Haha, it's done!" Both Megidos shouted before they pointed their staffs at Saber, Ember, and Spike. "You're open!" They blasted at them and both Saber and Ember fell to the ground as Spike and the shadow rolled out of way. "Let's keep on cracking!" "You're sure that we can use you to separate the human and pony from Megido?" Saber asked Saikou. "Just try it. Now then..." Just before the shadow could hand Saikou to Saber, Storious struck him from behind and clash blades with the shadow to keep it from handing the sword to anyone. "That would inconvenience us." Storious said. Ember, Aqua, and Spike charged at Storious and swung and clashed blades with him. As the two Megid laugh at this fight happening infront of them, Slash, Reverb, and Scootaloo strike them while Apple Bloom use her ax to strike one of them in the back. Then Sweetie Bell used her gun to blast the two from a safe distance. "You dare?!" They both shouted as they counter attack. "Beat!" Saber shouted before he clashed blades with Storious. "Those two are a human and a pony from Equestria!" He shouted to Slash as he hold Storious's arm. "Both young and need help!" He shouted as he dodged each of Storious attacks. "A human boy and cult?" Slash asked after she kick one of the Megido back. "We know it's hard to believe, Darling. But it's true!" Aqua told Slash after she and Reverb knock the second back. "The Megido have been turning people into Megido!" Reverb told Slash. "Now that's a really big surprise!" Sweetie Bell shouted. Storious was able to knock Saber to the ground. "Just please stop attacking!" Ember shouted at Slash before she clash blades with Storious. After hearing each of them, Slash tightened her grip on the handle of her sword. "I can't do that!" Slash told them before she charged at the two down Megid on the ground. When they got up, Slash slash her sword at them a few times and knock them back down. "Beat!" Saber shouted. "Help me...!" Both Pipsqueaks called out from within the two Megid. "Help me!" Slash heard their voices. "What?" Slash was surprised by what she just heard. Storious's sword glowed as he slashed as he spun around and hit everyone. When the smoke clear both him and the two Megidos were gone. "Oi! Come back you cowards!" Spike shouted. "No! Pipsqueak!" Both Lunas called out but got no answer. "Did you see that?!" Saber asked Slash. "They're turning both people and the beings from Equestria into Megido to create their books!" "Why do you wield the Sword of Light?" Slash asked Saber. "Do you and Twilight desire power?!" "We don't!" Ember shouted as she was getting annoyed with them thinking that as she pushed Slash. "The Sword of Light can save both the people and their Equestrian counterpart by separating them from the Megido!" "It can?" Princess Twilight asked as she, Flash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Spike, Smolder, the CMCs, and alicorn Luna was surprised by this news. "You both swear you aren't seeking power?" Slash asked both Saber and Ember one last time. "We just want to save them, and anyone else suffering due to the Megido's books!" Saber told Slash. "Then..." Slash spoke. "Prove it with your blade!" She told both Saber and Ember as she raised her sword. "What a distrustful swordswoman." Saikou said. "Listen to them-" "It's fine!" Saber shouted as he and Ember took a battle stands. "This is something..." "That we have to do." Ember finish Saber's sentence. "Should we try and stop them?" Smolder asked. "No. If they must prove their trust to her, then this is what they must do." Alicorn Luna told Smolder. "This is what swordsstallions did back then to earn respect and trust of others." Everyone watch with anticipation before Saber, Ember, and Slash charged at one another. Saber and Ember clashed blades with Slash as they passed one another. Saber then brought his sword up and clashed blades with Slash as did Ember. When Saber thrust his sword forward, Slash spun around to dodged his attack. Ember the try to get an attack in, but Slash blocked her attack with her sword. "Impressive as always!" Ember said to Slash. Slash pulled Ember aside before she try to slashed her. But Ember bend back and dodged her attack. Saber then placed his sword back in her driver and press the button on the handle, just as Ember place her sword in her holder and press the button on the handle. Final Page! Unsheathe the Flame! Dragon! Eagle! J to the West! Three Volume Slash! F-F-F-Fire! Paladin Strike! After they draw their swords out, the blades were covered in flames as they perpar to strike. They then slashed their swords, sending two flame waves right at Slash. Slash block the attack with her sword, then swiped the attacks away. Both Saber and Ember were surprise by this so Saber pulled out the King of Arthur Ride Book. King of Arthur After he took out the other two books and place his sword back in his driver, he place the book in his driver and draw out his sword again. Unsheathe the Flame! When two books synthesize, the hallowed blade is infused with power! ~Wonder Rider! Dragon! King Arthur! With the Kingexcalibur sword, he slashed the sword down and the giant version of it came down on Slash. But Slash used her sword to block the giant sword and it hit the ground. Saber then side slash with the sword and Slash jumped over the giant version when it came at her. Saber then slashed the sword down after that. King Slash Slash put up a sound barrier to block the attack. "Weak! Far too weak!" Slash shouted as she slashed her sword and broke through the attack and send a slash wave at them. Both Saber and Ember use their swords to blocked the incoming attack, but it broke through their defense and the two rolled on the ground. "Ohhh, I see." Saikou said as she watch the fight. "We're not done!" They both shouted as they pulled the Dragonic Knight and Dragonic Paladin books. Dragonic Knight Dragonic Paladin They place them in their drivers and Saber draw out his sword as Ember pressed the button on her driver and they both transformed into their Upgrade forms. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! ~Dragonic Knight! With his Dragonic Booster, Saber fire a blast at Slash just as Ember use her sword to do the same. Spicy! Slash slashed her sword to create a sound barrier as the flames were shot right at her. It broke through and did little damage. "Like this, and this?" Saikou had the shadow copy what Slash did with her sword to create the sound barrier. "The Swordswoman of Sound quite outstanding." "You said it! This fight has gone beyond the climax!!!" Spike shouted as he watched the fight and is really enjoying it. Both Saber and Ember fell to their knees from their energy being dran. Just then, the book Sophia gave Spike went. "Eh? Why is this making a noise?" He asked as he took out the book. "Oh dear. Flash! Twilight, we got trouble again!" Aqua shouted before she and Reverb transformed back to Fluttershy and Rarity. Both Saber and Ember heard her as they got up and transformed back to Flash and Twilight. Spike and the CMCs transformed out of the armors and followed them. "We have to go..." Flash told Slash before they ran off. "We need to save Pipsqueak! Light!" Both the shadow and the sword vanished and Light appeared in their place before she followed them. "Come on, hurry up!" Them along with their Equestrian counterparts went to where the two Megid are. Slash transformed back to Beat after they left. "I couldn't hear anything reverberating from your blade..." She said. The Story Continue > Volume 1, chapter 20: The stronghold broken by the will of the sword > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to inside Tassel's house and somehow, Tassel has shrunk as he his on his small table. "Bonne Lecture everyone!" He greeted you in a chipmunk pich voice. Then a book fly out and opened itself up as we see what happened in last chapter. "A little school boy student and his Equestrian counterpart has almost fully become Megidos!" Tassel explained as we see Pipsqueak turned into the Ousama Megid. "Flash and the others are doing their best to stop it, but Mist has been doing shifty things behind the scenes at the Sword of Logos!" We then see the legendary Kamen Rider Den-o, well the images of him control human Spike and the CMCs before we see Saber and Ember fight Slash. "I'm sooooooooo, soooooooooo worried about them!" Tassel shouted before another book flew out and opened itself up to the next chapter of this story. We see the group get to the area where the two Megid have been and see more cars stack. "Looks like we're too late." Twilight said when they saw all the stack cars. "They're repeatedly building then running." Light said when she saw the stack cars. "We can't respond fast enough, even with that book's detection!!!" Spike shouted with anger. "Just what are those Megido guys are trying to do?" Smolder asked. While the group are looking at the stack cars, something else caught Light's eye and she sneak away over to it. "They're making something with all cars." Flash said till he saw his own car amongst the stack cars. "Hey! That's my car!" "It's okay, Flash." Twilight told him. "But why are they doing this?" "I must say, the bad guys are quite the mistory in this time." Scootaloo said. "What are you talking about?" Her pony counterpart asked. "Let's split up and search." Twilight suggested. "We will take our pony counterparts. Me, Princess Twilight, and both Flashs. Both Raritys and both Sweetie Bells. Fluttershys and Apple Blooms. Luna, can you, your pony counterpart take both Spikes and Smolders, along with Light?" "Of course Twilight." Both Lunas answered Twilight. "When we find them, we will make them cry!" Apple Bloom declared. "Just glad I'm not with any of the weird ones." Smolder whispered to her dog conterpart. "Why am I talking to a dog?" "Eh? Where'd that odd woman go?" Spike asked. When they looked around, they saw Light on a bike and she is using her feet to move it as she ride it. "She's still not used to the times, is she?" Pegasus Fluttershy asked and the humans nodded yes as Light crashed. Meanwhile, both Pipsqueaks are hiding and are in pain as they struggle to keep the Megidos from coming out. "Please, no!" Both shouted as they transformed into the two Ousama Megid. "Please, no? Oi-" One of them said before transformed back to normal before they transformed back. The Barefooted King! "Congratulations on no one coming to save either of you!" The other told their hosts. Back at the Southern Base. Beat return and had just told the others of what she just found out. "A person and their Equestrian counterpart turned into Megido?!" Terra asked as he was shocked by this news. "Yes, I saw it myself." Beat said. "Flash and the others said they were using people and their Equestrian counterpart to create Megido. But to think they'd even target a young boy... It's unforgivable." "So Flash and Twilight really wasn't lying?" Surge asked. "We need to be careful when attacking Megido that were people and Equestrian." Terra told them. "Even if they were human or Equestrian..." Mist spoke up. "...it's already too late once they've turned into Megido. They are just another enemy that must be defeated to protect the world." "Protecting this world..." Surge said as he looked out one of the windows. "That was our promise to Arabia and Velvet......as well as our duty. But I never imagined this..." Each of them felt bad about what they just learned. "Arabia..." Wind said to herself. Mist just looked at them and doesn't care about what they promise. "Remember who it was that slew Espada and that Paladin, Ember." Mist told them. "It was Night Light. Twilight Sparkle is his spawn, and now she and Flash Sentry are simply carrying out what he failed to do." "Twilight said the Sword of Light could save them." Beat told Mist. "All the more reason to retrieve it immediately then." Mist said. "Otherwise slaying the Megido is your only option." "Would be a lot easier if both Flash and Twilight, along with the others will let us." Terra said. At the Megido lar. Storious came back and is telling Legeiel and Zooous what he learn. "It seems the folks at the Sword of Logos are after the Sword of Light, the Swordsman of Fire, and his paladin as well." "Infighting is always hilarious." Zooous said as he found it funny. "There may be someone on their side with similar goals to ours." Storious said. "Someone who desires power." In the city on a rooftop. Wind is by herself and looked out to the city. "Arabia..." She said to herself. She never told anyone but she has feelings for Arabia and there's not a day that goes by that she isn't thinking of her. Wind even though about what Arabia said about how both Flash and Twilight has a kind of strength that even she or the others don't have. Arabia even told her that she will understand it someday too. "Why her...?" Wind asked. Truth be told, Wind is jealous of Twilight Sparkle and how Arabia were close. Mist watched her without Wind knowing she's there and Mist has something planned. "Twilight Sparkle still possesses Ikazuchi." Mist said to Wind. Wind thought about before she slammed her fists down, then trund to face Mist. "I don't need you to remind me!" Wind shouted at Mist with anger. Meanwhile, alicorn Luna used a cloaking spell to cloak herself, Spike, and Smolder as they help they search for both Pipsqueaks with their humans and dog counterparts along with Light. "Hello! Pip-kid! Where are you!" Shouted Spike who is still acting odd. "What is with you?" Smolder asked. "Pipsqueak! Where are you!" Human Luna called out. "I don't see him anywhere..." She sounded kind of sad. "Uh not to add anymore problems but, where's Light?" Spike asked. They all looked around and saw that she was not with thim. Then Luna saw her inside a building and going up an escalator. So they all went in to get her. "Light! What are you doing?!" Luna asked as Light is already on the escalator. "And how are those stairs moving on their own?" Her pony counterpart asked. "I wonder that myself!" Light said as she moved up. "How convenient!" "You're a kid or something?!" Human Spike asked. "Get down already!" Light started to walk down the up going escalator, but was not going anywhere. "Stop! You need to go to the top then ride the left side!" Luna told Light. "What? That's inconvenient." Light said as she stop and let the escalator take her up. With both Flashs and Twilights. They continue to look for Pipsqueak as they are in a different part of the city. Princess Twilight is using a cloaking spell to cloak herself and her Flash as they look as well. As they looked, Flash took a look at his reflection in a window and thought back their fight with Slash. "That was a true swordswoman..." He thought as he ready how she was about to handle both him and Twilight at the same time. "I also gotta..." Just then, both Pipsqueaks came around a corner and they're in pain. "Flash, Twilight..." Human Pipsqueak called to them. "Pipsqueak!" Princess Twilight shouted as she dropped the cloak spell. "No..." Pony Pipsqueak spoke up. "You need to get far from......me, Princess!" Both Pipsqueaks then ran from them. "Pipsqueak, wait!" Pegasus Flash shouted as he, his human counterpart, and the two Twilights went after them. They were able not let them out of their sight, just as they transformed into the Ousama Megid. The Barefooted King! They both laugh as one raised his staff up. "Pip!" Princess Twilight called out just as more cars stack in the area. The second one took aim at Princess Twilight and near hit her with a blast if her Flash didn't tackle her out of the way. "Once I be rid of you and the other three alicorns, me and my lunar queen will rule over Equestria!" The second Ousama Megid shouted. Inside the other one, the book is near completion. Both human Flash and Twilight took out their drivers and Wonder Ride Books. Brave Dragon Wonder Paladin They place them in their drivers and Flash draw out his sword as Twilight pressed the button on her driver and they both transformed into Kamen Rider Saber and Ember. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! ~Brave Dragon! ~Wonder Paladin! They both charged at the two Megid and hold on to their staffs. "Princess! Single the others!" Ember shouted to Twilight. Twilight nodded and shot a beam of magic into the air which turned into a flare that showed the others where they are and they found them. "And you two! Give Pipsqueak back to us!" Saber demanded the two Megid. The two Megidos spun both of them around and try to get free from their hold. "This isn't the kind of town I wanted to make!" The Ousama Megid told them. "And you won't stop me from getting my queen!" The other one shouted. "This one must be talking about Luna!" Ember shouted. "Pipsqueaks! Don't give in to them!" "Shut up you noisy nuisance Ember!" Both Ousama Megid shouted as they pushed them back. From behind, Legeiel and try to attack them. But Saber brought up his sword and try to blocked his attack, but Legeiel slashed through and Saber fell to the ground. "I have a bone to pick with you, bastard!" Legeiel told Saber before he charged at Slash and clashed blades with him. As they fought the Megidos, Wind came in and saw them fighting. She then pulled out her Wonder Ride Book and open it. Sarutobi Ninja-den "Wind! We need you to take Legeiel!" Ember told her when she saw her. "Me and Flash need to stop those two!" "Stack up and up for my glorious castle!" One Ousama shouted as he continue to stack cars. The other one was trying to get Twilight, but Ember is keeping him back and Twilight is using a shield spell to keep herself and Flash safe. "Those two are a human and a pony!" Saber shouted as he clashed blades with Legeiel. Wind then placed her book in her sword and pulled it into two. Twin Blades Split "Henshin!" Wind shouted as she charged into the fight and transformed into Kamen Rider Kenzan. ~Hayate, the Sword of Zephyrs! Instead of going after one of the two Ousama, she went after Ember. "Give me back the Sword of Lightning!!" She shouted as she attack Ember. Ember use her sword to try and block her attack as Kenzan pushed her back. "That sword belongs to Arabia!" Kenzan shouted as she pulled her swords back clash blades with Ember before she kick her back. "Stop! Knock it off, Wind!" Saber shouted as he dogged one of Legeiel's attack. Ember rolled under one of Kenzan's attack when she try to hit her. Ember continue to blocked Kenzan's attack as she continued to attack. "You put your trust in the guy who slew Arabia and your mom! You don't deserve it!" Kenzan shouted as she continued to attack Ember. She was not letting up as she kick Ember back after swinging her swords. "Wind, you-" Ember try to tell her something before the second Ousama struck her. Saber try to go help her, but Legeiel is keeping him from doing that. "Didn't you hear me?! I'M your opponent!!" Legeiel shouted as he slashed his sword at Saber and strike him. The Lunas, Spikes, Smolders, and Light was about to get their in time. "You started the party without me!" Human Spike shouted as puts on the belt from before and press the red button on it. "Henshin!" He shouted as he scan a pass he hold and transformed into Kamen Rider Den-o, Sword Form. Sword Form "Ore... sanjou!" He said as he did a pose. "Or better yet..." He then pulled out a red phone and pressed the buttons on the bottom. The phone then attached itself to the belt and he transformed into an Upgrade form. Momo-Ura-Kin-Ryu! Climax Form "Been a while since we've been together. Our strength will make them cry! This is going to be a fun party! Enough talk! Let go and jump to the climax!" Den-o was like four people in one as he charged in the fight and attack the second Ousama. "Well that happened." Smolder said. "And why is she spacing out for?!" She asked Light. "Just help me find that belt!" Human Luna told her and Spike as she search for Light's driver. Spike was able to find her Wonder Ride Book while Smolder found the driver. Smolder slammed it on Light's waist, then Spike opened the book up. Gold or Sliver? After Smolder moved the lever on the driver open, Spike place the book in the slot. Luna then made Light take hold of the handle. "Now say the word!" Luna told Light. "Henshin..." Light said as she pulled out her sword and the book open up and her entire body turned into dust and went into the sword. Release the Radiance! Who is thee Shining Sword? The sword then flew out and strike Legeiel, One of the Ousama, and Kenzan back. It then fly to Saber and he took hold. "If I have to." Saikou said. Saber saw the second Ousama Megid next to the first one as it continues to stack cars. Saber then charged at the two and strike both of them with Den-o just as Legeiel joined the fight. While Saber and Den-o fought the three Megid, Kenzan continue to fight Ember. Each of them clashed blades with one another as they fought. Kenzan showed no signs of letting up as she kick Ember back after clashing blades. The two Megidos spun around and a phantomt crown appeared around them before they lunched it at Saber, Den-o, Ember, and Wind. After getting up from the ground, Saber and Ember took out their Dragonic Knight and Dragonic Paladin books and place them in their drivers to switch to their Upgrade forms. Dragonic Knight Dragonic Paladin Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! ~Dragonic Knight! "Time to get serious." Saikou said. "Let's go!" Saber said as he took hold of the sword and Ember brought out the Sword of Lightning. Saikou, the Sword of Light! Ikazuchi, the Sword of Lightning! "Now we at the climax!" Den-o shouted as he ready his sword. Legeiel charged at Saber, as one of the two Ousama charged at Den-o, and Kenzan went after Ember. Each of them clashed blades with one another as they fought. Saber was able to get a few hits in just as Den-o did as well. Kenzan put her two swords together and switches to her Kobuta 3Kyoudai book. Kobuta 3Kyoudai Kenzan continue to fight Ember as she clash blades with her, before pushing her agenst a wall. "Didn't you also promise Arabia you'd protect this world?!" Ember asked Kenzan. "You don't have the right to talk about her!" Kenzan shouted at Ember. She then pushed her aside then slashed her in the back. "Listen! Just listen!" Ember shouted as they clashed blades. "We can save both that boy and colt together!" "With the Sword of Light?!" Kenzan asked as she grabbed Ember and spun around. Saber and Den-o crashed into Ember by both Legeiel and one of the Ousama Megid. Legeiel then struck Kenzan before slamming his sword down and try to hit Saber. Saber rolled out of way then clashed blades when Legeiel tried again. He then got up and both he and Den-o struck him back. "Yeah, this one can help save people!" Saber shouted as he hold up the Sword of Light. "Then I'll take it from you and protect the world!" Kenzan shouted as she charged at Saber and kicked him. She then pind him to the ground with her swords. Someone came walked to them and dragged his sword on the ground, it is Desast. "The raging wind cuts at the flame..." Desast said. "What a delectable scent! I've been waiting to see you, Swordswoman of Wind." He then jumped and send a slash wave right both Saber and Kenzan. "Get lost Desast!!" Legeiel shouted. "No, you get lost!" Desast told Legeiel as he slashed his sword at him, causing him to roll on the ground. "What are you scheming?!" Legeiel asked. "I've obtained freedom!" Desast answered him. "What?!" Legeiel asked as he got up. "I'm gonna entertain myself more." Desast said. "I'm gonna dye this world just how I like it!" "It's nearly finished!" The first Ousama Megid shouted as he continue to stack cars and the other one fights Den-o and try to get to alicorn Luna. "My great kingdom nears completion!" "Complete?!" Saber asked and sounding worried. "Give me the Sword of Lightning!!" Kenzan shouted as she got up and charged at Ember. The two then clashed blades with one another. "Hand over your swords!" Desast shouted as he charged at the riders. He jumped and nearly hit both Saber, Ember, and Kenzan. Saber blocked him and clashed blades with him and Ember got Kenzan off her. Den-o pushed the second Ousama back and used his gun and blast him a few times. Both Saber and Ember clashed blades and/or dogged both Desast or Kenzan. Desast spun around and clashed blades with with all three riders and try to strike Kenzan. But she back flipped out his attack and as Legeiel attack Saber, Desast kicked him back. Legeiel then struck Desast just as Kenzan charged at Ember and the two clashed blades again. Den-o went and did his Rider Kick at the second Ousama, but it was interrupted by the first one and he transformed back to Spike as he fell to the ground and out cold. Kenzan, Legeiel, and Desast clashed blades with Saber and Ember when all three came in. Saber and Ember pushed them off them before they both spun around and slashed each of them. Desast then used his scarf and attack all four of them as it stretched out. They managed to dodged it before Kenzan send a slash wave at both Saber and Ember. Both Saber and Ember blocked the attacks before both Kenzan and Desast jumped up. Desast struck Legeiel while Kenzan struck both Saber and Ember when they landed. "I knew you were one of us!" Desast told Kenzan. "That's some serious bullshit!" Kenzan shouted at him with so much rage before she swung her sword at him. Desast dodged each of her attacks. "It's done, it's done! Castle, castle!" The first Ousama shouted as the other one broke through Twilight's barrier and grabbed alicorn Luna with his staff and the two ran off with her. Saber and Ember saw the two run off with Alicorn Luna so they went after them. They charged at the two Megid as Kenzan clashed blades with Desast. Kenzan continue to thrust her swords at Desast as he stepped back from each slash. He managed to grab her arm, but she just elbow him before slashing her sword at him as he backed flipped. When she charged at him, he vanished before she could hit him. When she looked around for him, he was gone and she threw down her swords in frustration. As she sat on the ground, she transformed back to Wind and yelled out in anger. With Flash and Twilight, they looked around for the two Megid that ran off with Alicorn Luna. The two saw Luna on the ground and hurt, so they went over to her. They checked and found that she's still alive. They figured that she must have blasted them and hit her head when she got away. But the two Megid are nowhere in sight. Light and the others caught up to them and human Spike was back to himself. "Flash! Twilight!" Surge said as he came in. "Surge!" Flash said when he saw him and went over to him with Twilight. "A regular homo-sapiens and a equestrian both turned into Megido right?" Surge asked. "You believe us?" Twilight asked Surge as she is both glad and surprise by this. "Yes!" Surge answered her. "Let's help one another to save the two!" "Right!" Flash said as he is glad to have a friend back. "But the real problem is that true enemy in the organisation..." Twilight spoke up. "They're gathering the books and swords to do the same as the Megido. Can you-" "There is no "true enemy" within us!" Surge shouted, interrupted Twilight. "They're after the great power!" Twilight shouted at him. The others watched as they argue. "Isn't it you two who desires power?" Mist asked both Flash and Twilight as she appeared out of the blue. "Who's that?" Smolder asked. "You..." Twilight said, sounding angry. "It's your fault that we've all been-" She walked at her before Surge stepped infront of her. "She's Master Logos' representative." Surge told her. "Master Logos?" Flash asked when he heard that name. "So what?!" Twilight asked. "She's been lying to you and the others about me and Flash since day one!" "Excuse me, but..." Alicorn Luna said as she woke up and stood up slowly. "...who is Logos?" "He is the figure that governs the Sword of Logos." Surge answered Luna. "You both desire power, and we connot allow that." Mist told both Flash and Twilight. "Sorry..." Light spoke up. "...but Flash and Twilight are destined to obtain power." "What do you mean?" Both Spikes asked. They were surprise to hear that its been written that they will obtain power. "What are you after?" Light asked Mist and didn't answer either Spikes. "World peace of course." Mist answered Light. "You will join us too eventually." She told her before she walked away. Surge looked at the others for a bit before he followed Mist. Soon Flash's phone went off and he picked it up. "Yes...?" "Get back to the book shop!" Rarity told him over the phone. "We have it figured out!" The group returned back to Fantastic Books, where the human CMCs are back to normal but can't remember what happened, like Spike. "Good to see you guys are all right!" Sprit said. "So what is it that you found out?" Twilight asked Rarity. "Feast your eyes on this map." Both Raritys said as they show them a map of the city and the places the two Megid hit. When they took a look at it, they are in the shape of a castle wall. "I saw the stacked thing while I was flying above the city." Pegasus Fluttershy said. "And look at this." Sweetie Bell told them as she hold up Pipsqueak's phone that he dropped and show the image of the castle he was building. "The first is building a castle in the center." Twilight said. "But the second one went after Luna. Why?" "The second Ousama is our Pipsqueak." Princess Twilight said. "When it try to kill me it said, "once you and the other three alicorns are gone, me and my lunar queen will rule over Equestria."" "I suppose our Pipsqueak has feelings for me." Alicorn Luna said. "On my first Nightmare Night, he said that I'm his favorite Princess ever." "So now that we know what they want, what are we going to do?" Sprit asked. "Warping both Pipsqueaks's dream like this..." Twilight said. "It's unforgivable!" She shouted as she ran out the door and Flash went after her. "You should use your Squires if you want to help them." Light told the human CMCs and Spike who were confused by that. "Did I forget to you that's what the puppets are called?" She asked before she followed the two out. With the two Megid, they are in a construction site and they both laugh. "It's finally time for our castle to go up!" The first shouted. "I can see a lovely moat and flowerbeds!" "And once it's complete, I will have my queen!" The second Ousama shouted as they raised their staffs and began building the castle. "Make sure it's all nice and snug!" As they build their castle, Flash, Twilight, and Light came in and saw them build their castle. "You lot again?" They both asked when they saw them. "You're not finishing that castle, or make Luna your queen!" Twilight told the two Megidos. Both she and Flash pulled out their drivers and put them on. They then pulled out their Wounder Ride Books and place them in their drivers. Light even put on her driver and opened up her Wonder Ride Book. Brave Dragon Storm Eagle Wonder Paladin Gold or Sliver? "We're gonna save both Pipsqueaks!" Flash declared as he placed his Saiyuu Journey book in the last slot in his driver. Saiyuu Journey/color] He then draw out his sword as Twilight pressed the button on her driver. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! "Henshin!" They both shouted as they transformed into their rider forms. ~The Mythical Beast passed down through the ages answers by the name of... Crimson Dragon! ~Wonder Paladin! Light placed her book in her driver and pulled out her sword and the book open up. Release the Radiance! "Henshin." She said as she transformed into the Sword of Light. Who is the Shinning Sword? Saikou First Chapter: The sword glittering with the power of gold and sliver; Saikou Brave the dragon grabbed the Sword of Light and gave it to Saber, while Ember took out the Sword of Lightning. "All set." Saikou said as both Saber and Ember charged at the two Ousama. When they were about to strike, Legeiel came in and blocked their attacks. "Your meddling is unappreciated at this point." Legeiel told the two riders as clashed blades with them. The two Megidos joined the fight as they struck them in the back. The three were able to push the two back as they fought. The two did their best to keep up the defensive as they close in on them. "I supposed I have to." Saikou said as she activated the shadow. Saikou Second Chapter: The shadow born from the light; Shadow! The sword went over to the shadow and try to struck both Ousama Megid. The two dodged each attack it try to do. Saber and Ember attack Legeiel while Saikou try to get the two Megid. "Try this!" Both Ousama Megid shouted as they pointed their staffs and they glowed. "Chichin Pui Pui!" Cenderblocks flew to the unfinished castle and continue to build it. "Dance! Dance our pretties!" "Feast your eyes!" Legeiel told both Saber and Ember after he knocked them to the ground. "Isn't it a splendid castle?" "Look at that, look at-" Both Megidos shouted before they tripped and fell. "Makes you scream with delight!" Within the first one, the book is completed. "Pipsqueak!" Both Saber and Ember called out. Legeiel's sword glowed as it he perpar to strike. He shot a blast at them and after an explosion, they transformed back to Flash and Twilight and fell to the ground. Legeiel walked to them and intend to end them before Saikou clashed blades with him as to stop him. "This one's strong. I'll take him." Saikou told Flash and Twilight. "We're fine..." Twilight told her as she and Flash got up from the ground. "You go help Pipsqueak!" "You're falling apart as usual though." Saikou said. Legeiel's eyes glowed as his horns unleashed powerful whips went out at the three. Both Flash and Twilight rolled on the ground after that attack. "You're right that it hurts..." Flash said as Legeiel walked closer to them. "But it's by getting hurt ourselves that we know how it feels for someone else too!" Legeiel then kicked him in the face and back. Legeiel then brought his sword down as both Flash and Twilight brought theirs up to block him. He kicked both of them and their swords fell out of their hands. "Understanding how it feels to be hurt..." Twilight said as they reach for their swords and struggle to stand up. "...is exactly why we want to protect others!!" "Pain..." Saikou said when they said all those things. Flash place his sword back in his driver and both he and Twilight place their Dragonic Knight and Dragonic Paladin books in their drivers. Flash draw out his sword as Twilight pressed the button on her driver and they both transformed into Kamen Rider Saber and Ember Upgrade forms. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! "Henshin!!" They both shouted as they transformed and Flash's slashes knocked Legeiel back. ~Dragonic Knight! In other words, it's the strongest! Legeiel fire energy beams at the two, but they both caught them with their swords as they did sick tricks back before they fired it back at him. "That was..." Saikou said when she saw them do that and remember it was the same thing Slash did with their attacks. "That's why we're able to steel our resolve to protect the world!" Saber shouted. "Resolve, huh?" Saikou said as the shadow stood up. "That's pretty great!" She then had the shadow walked to the two Megid. "You think you can win-" One of them said before Saikou intrupt him when the shadow got close to them. "Without a doubt since the start!" The sword shouted before slashing the two. The shadow vanished and the sword flew high in the air. Release the Radiance! Good Luck! The sword glowed bright and looked ready to strike. "Let there be light!" Saikou declared before striking both Ousama Megid. "Not done yet..." Both of them said as Saikou struck them again. When the Sword of Light strike them a third time, something happened to them both. Dark energy went off them and they fell back as both Pipsqueaks were separated from them. "How this story ends is ours to decide!" Both Saber and Ember declared as they scanned Saber's Booster with both the Sword of Flames and Lightning. Special hmm, hmm, hmmmm! Concluding Flash! With both swords burning bright they send a slash wave right the two Ousama and struck them. "Farewell!" Both Megidos shouted before they exploded and the unfinished castle came falling down. "Saber...! Ember...!" Legeiel said with so much anger in his voice as he stood up. "That power will be ours someday!" He told them before he vanished. Both Pipsqueaks were on the ground and out cold as Saikou hovered above them. "Well then..." Saikou said as the tip of the sword glowed and erased their memories. The Pipsqueak from Equestria soon vanished, meaning he and the others that appeared in this world with him returned back to Equestria. Both Saber and Ember fell to the ground from being dran. Later we are back at Fantastic Books and Pipsqueak is admiring the model train set. Everyone else is releved that he is alright, including Luna, the CMCs, and Spike. Flash and Twilight were patched up from the fight they just had and Light continue to read the comic book. "Hey, Rainbow..." Twilight said as she gave Rainbow a list of books. "Can you and Spike fetch these books from the Northern Base?" "Sure, but why?" Rainbow asked as she took the list. "Surge and the rest are starting to understand." Twilight answered. "So we gotta do everything we can... I figured old literature might help fill us in on Star and maybe something to go on about what the true enemy's trying to do. Got a lot of research to do." "Well right now Surgecube, you and Flash need some recovering." Applejack told her. "So is no one really going to me, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo what happened?" Spike asked. "Because after Storious threw each of our "Squares" at us, the rest is all a blank." "Right then. I suppose I'll prepare myself to face the Megido and organization too." Light said while looking at picture of Sword-X-Woman in the comic. "What will that be?" Sunset asked. "Reclaming my former powers as a Swordswoman." Light answered Sunset after she closed the comic. "And that means...?" Fluttershy asked. "I know, I'll go with this!" Light said as she stood up and held up the comic book. "This is a modern hero right?" She then grab Twilight's head and her hand glowed as she was doing something before doing the same with the Flash. When she stopped, the two were all heal up. "Seriously?!" They all asked as they were all shocked that Light can do that. At the Southern Base. Beat and Terra were alone as he whispered to her. "And? How'd it go crossing blades?" He asked her. Beat thought back to her fight against Saber and Ember. "I couldn't hear a thing from their swords..." Beat answered. "I see..." Terra said, not liking the sound of it. "Also..." Beat whispered after she checked to see if someone was here. "Storious didn't know about Sophia." "Not the best of sources..." Terra said. "But if it wasn't them..." The two wondered who it really is. In an unknown location. Sophia wakes up in her prison and sees her kidnapper approach her. The Story Continue > Volume 1, chapter 21: Shine the Best, Full Color. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A Bonne Lecture to all of you." Tassel greeted as we open to inside his house. "It's me, Tassel. Right now I'm-" He got intrupt by the sound of the doorbell. "Seems we have a visitor. Coming!" He got up and went over to the door. He opened the door and the one who rang the doorbell is Radiant Light herself. "The meaning of justice has changed in these 2000 years." Light told Tassel as she walked in his home. "I've learnt that from Twilight Sparkle, Flash Sentry, and this book." She pulled out the Swords-X-Woman comic book. "So, what of it though?" Tassel asked as he took a look at the comic book. "I will return from sword to swordswoman." Light said. "Now, please return it. The book containing my entire history as a swordswoman; The Story of the Radiant Blade Saikou." As she hold out her hand and waited for Tassel to hand her the book, he blinked a few times at her before giving her a nervous smile. "Don't tell me you lost it!" "N-n-no, no!" Tassel quickly said. "Wait- Just hold on- I'll find it in a jiffy..." As he quickly went to go find that book, a book from the bookshelf fly out and opened itself to the next chapter. We open to Beat alone and is scanning her sword. As she work on her sword, she thought back to her childhood and where she watched her father worked on wepons for the Sword of Logos. We get a flashback of her younger self watching a man with bright red skin and grey hair. This is her father. "When the two destined to stoke the fire of the first Sacred Sword forged by human hands appears." Her father told her as he worked on a sword. "A Sacred Sword with the power to connect the stars and lead this tale to its conclusion will be born." When the flashback ended, Beat picked up her sword and thought about what Ember told her when them and Saber fought. She told her that she and Flash wants to save the two victims, and anyone else suffering due to the Megido's books. At Fantastic Books, there were books from the Northern Base stack at the front desk and Twilight was behind the wall of books as she read one of them. She turned the page and there was a image of a woman holding her arms up. "Two thousand years ago..." Twilight read. "A great battle those enthralled by the power of the book of omnipotence began." We enter the book and see a fight between a swordsoman and a Megido. "In the beginning, a Sacred Sword of Light and Darkness respectively came to be." We then see both the Sword of Light and Darkness being wielded by Light herself as she used them to slash through multiple Megido. "These two blades helped push back the forces of evil. To gather the pages lost in the conflict once more, Sword of Logos was formed." Twilight continued, as we see someone forging a sword. "Soon after, the first Sacred Sword forged by humans in the image of the Swords of Light and Darkness came to be," We then see the Sacred Sword of Flames be forged as we return out of the book and see Flash hold the same sword. "the Burning Blade Rekka." The two of them remember what Mist said the other day. About how she lied about how they desire power, and they cannot allow it. They also remember what Light said about both Flash and Twilight are destined to obtain power. "What did she mean by we're destined to obtain power?" Flash asked Twilight. Before she could say anything, Fluttershy came in with a worried look on her face. "Flash, Twilight! We got trouble!" Fluttershy told them. "People are disappearing again! And apparently people saw monsters." She show them her phone and it has a newsreport. "It has to be the Megido!" "Let's go." Twilight said as she headed out with Flash. At the Megido lar. A table is stack full of Altar Books, which means they had a bunch of new Megido made and Zooous laughed at their horde. "We're rolling in new Altar Books thanks to those humans and their Equestrian counterparts, both connected to Wonder World!" He shouted with glee. "Once we have enough Altar Books, we will require the Sacred Swords." Legeiel said. "In order to steal the blades from the swordsmen, we will need to create a new, unique kind of Megido." Storious told them as he picked up a blank white book. Somewhere in the city. Flash, Twilight, and Fluttershy is at a table with a woman who looked very worried. "You saw a monster around the time your husband disappeared, correct?" Twilight asked. "Yes..." The woman answered. "He was also saying he could see this weird world the whole time..." She told them as we get a flashback of her with her husband. He points to the sky to where he sees Wonder World. "He must have been seeing Wonder World..." Flash said. "Just where could he have gone...?" The woman asked, sounding really worried. Later we see Rainbow, Scootaloo, and Soarin with a woman and her child. "They saw something in the sky a few days ago..." The woman told the three. We see each of the group, even Spitfire and Lightning Dust asked a lot of people around who said they saw a monster around the time the people disappear and they told them that they see Wonder World before they do. These people are getting really worried for these people who disappeared. The group soon meet up in the park and Twilight couldn't help but feel terrible for these people and ponies who could be gone. "I can't believe so many lives have been lost..." Twilight said as she remembers when she couldn't save her friend Star so long ago. Then she thought back to when she couldn't save Arabia and her mother. And she promised Star that she would save her and both Arabia and Velvet to protect the two worlds. "I even promised I'd save everyone this time..." She said to herself. Everyone in the group heard what she said and felt sorry for her. "Twilight..." Flash said as he comfernt her. Meanwhile at the Southern Base. "The Sword of Light has declared that both Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle are destined for power." Mist told the riders in the room. "The organisation must put a stop to this." "I'll-" Wind was about to volunteer before Beat spoke up. "I hate arguing. However, I will face them." She told them. Terra was surprised by that while Mist walked over to her. "Can you really do it?" Mist asked Beat. "My family has guarded the Sacred Swords for generations in the organisation." Beat reminded Mist. "We bear the responsibility of supporting the organisation and swordsmen. Rekka is a special Sacred Sword. The first forged long ago by my ancestor. I vow to bring it back." "Alright!" Terra spoke up. "I'll join you." He told Beat before she headed out. "Thanks." She said as Terra grabbed his sword and the two headed out. Somewhere else is a man with grey skin and dark grey hair. He had a yellow undershirt with a brown vest and brown pants with a long white goatee. He is Discord of this world and he saw Wonder World outside the window. "There it is again..." He said as he walked to the window. "Why is this happening?" "Because you've been chosen." Storious said, spoking Discord. He then pind Discord to the wall and place the blank book on him. When it entered him, the dark energy transformed him into a blob of darkness. "Now then, let us being." A Golem Megido, a Hanzaki Megid and a Ahiru Megid went over to the blob and transformed it into entirely new Megido. A Charybdis Megid. Charybdis! Storious laughed as this, because of his plan to get Sacred Swords is all in hand. Meanwhile in Equestria, Fluttershy was setting up a picnic with Discord when he arrived and with somepony. "Princess Celestia?" Fluttershy asked in surprise. "Please, it's just Celestia now." Celestia corrected her. "I just thought we might enjoy some extra company this time around." Discord said. "You know, with all the disappearance happening lately." Just as they sat down to enjoy a nice day, Discord started to feel pain inside him. "Are you all right?" Celestia asked with concern. Before he could answer them, a Golem, Hanzaki, and Ahiru Megid appeared out of nowhere. "What are they doing here?!" She asked when she saw them and took a battle stands with Fluttershy hiding behind her. "Don't...worry. I...will...just...." Discord said before he yelled out in pain as he transformed into a blob. The two ponies were concerned for him when that happened, but then the three Megidos went over to the blob and transformed it into a Charybdis. Charybdis! "Discord!!" The two ponies called as the newly Megid ran away from them. Back in the human world in Fantastic Books. The group returned there and Twilight was thinking about all those people and ponies that got turned into Megido. "What can we even do...?" She asked Flash. Flash just shrugged as he played his guitar while the others gathered all the books from the Northern Base and was taking them back there. Sunset stop to see her two friends sad, so she put the box full of books down and went over to them. "Come on, cheer up you two." Sunset told them. They didn't respond to her as they were both lost in thought. "We're going to convince them to fight alongside us again, right?" "It would be easier with more hands on deck." Sprit said from Twilight's sholder. They both looked at Sunset and they thought about. "Flash, Twilight." When the four looked, they saw both Beat and Terra came in. Both Flash and Twilight got up and walked over to them. "We can't save everyone on our own. Even with our friends by our side, they are too many of them." Twilight admits. "Please fight by our side again..." Beat said nothing before she looked at them and grabbed both of them by the shirt, with an angry look on her face. "You both don't understand anything!!" She shouted as she pushed them back. ""W'll save everyone!" It easy enough to say. But you of all people should know how difficult that actually is." She then looked at Flash. "Wielding a sword burdened by lives you failed to save... The longer you continue to fight, the more that burden grows. That's the life of a swordsman. If you'd rather pretend otherwise, then you have no right to wield Rekka. Why it is that Rekka chose you, is something I will have to ask your sword itself." Later Beat, Flash, and Twilight went to an old abandoned warehouse and both Flash and Twilight had their drivers on and Beat ready her sword and took out her Wonder Ride Book. Hanselnuts to Gretel "No holding back." Beat told them as she placed her book in her sword. "Very well." Twilight said as she and Flash took out their Wounder Ride Books out. Brave Dragon Wonder Paladin They then placed their books in their drivers and Flash draw out his sword as Twilight pressed the button on her driver and Beat pulled the trigger on her sword and their books opened up. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! Jam With the Bayonet! "Henshin!" All three of them shouted as they transformed into their rider forms. Flash to Saber, Twilight to Ember, and Beat to Slash. ~Brave Dragon! ~Wonder Paladin! Suzune, the Sword of Echoes! The three riders ready their swords as they took a battle stands, before they charged at each other. Slash clashed blades with both Saber and Ember. She then pushed them behind her before they clashed blades and she showed that she is not holding back as her sword went up Saber's and sparks went off as it did. She then punched them both into the warehouse and the two rolled on the ground. "Wait, what was that...?" Saber asked. "Stand." Slash told the two. "I said stand!" The two stand up just as Sunset, Terra, Spike, and Sprit came to see the fight. "Twilight, Flash..." Sunset said as she and the other three watch with concern. Saber place his sword back in his driver, just as Ember place her sword in her holder and they pressed the button on the handles before they draw them out. Final Page! Unsheathe the Flame! Dragon! One volume strike! Fire! The two then send a slash wave right at Slash, but she charged through the flames at the two. The three clashed blades as she pushed the two back. The two ducked when she try to strike them before they clashed blades over and over again. "Each and every strike from her blade is so heavy..." Ember to Slash as she clashed blades with her and Saber before she slash them back. "The weight on Beat's sword is heavy." Terra said as he watched the fight. "That blade contains every last burden she shoulders." "Burdens...?" Spike asked. Both he, Sunset, and Sprit thought about how Twilight and Flash was thinking about it was their fault for those people and ponies that disappeared and they couldn't save them. "In thst case, both Twilight and Flash has their own share of them too!" He told Terra. "Yeah! Besides," Sprit said. "They saved so many people!" Saber had to go to his Crimson Dragon combo and he pressed the cover of the Saiyuu Journey book. Saiyuu Journey Saber then extended a red staff from his left arm and swung it at Slash and it clashed with her sword each swing. Slash took out her Bremen no Rock Band book and place it the slot under her sword. Bremen no Rock Band, Yay! Slash then send a sound slash wave at Saber, just as he swings the staff at her. As both Saber and Ember send flames at Slash, she used a sound barrier to block it and cancel it out. Suzune: Recital Strike! Yay! "They've certainly good at utilising the powers of the books." Terra told the three as they watched. "However, their still hasn't become a true swordsman and swordswoman!" "You both are far too naiive!!" Slash shouted as she charged at the two. When Saber and Ember try to strike her, Slash struck Saber on his side before she struck Ember in the back. The two fell and roll on the ground after getting struck by those attacks. "You depend on your Ride Books to the point where I can't hear anything from your blade!" She told Saber. "The wishes you both shoulder, is that really all they amount to?!" She asked the two. They both took deep breaths as they gripped their swords tight. "We-" Ember started as they stood up and Saber took out the Storm Eagle and Saiyuu Journey books from his driver. "We...!" They both shouted as they the raised their swords. They both remember all the sad looks of all the people who were close to the people who disappeared. "We never want to see people suffering ever again!" The both shouted before they charged at Slash. "Come!" Slash shouted as the three clashed blades with one another. As they clashed blades, they show that neither one was showing that they are holding back. Saber and Ember thought of the people and ponies before who got turned into Megido and how they suffered as they clashed blades with Slash. From Soarin's mother to Pipsqueak and they felt so much pain because of the Megido. Each thought of it made the two swung their swords harder. As they clashed blades with Slash, Saber's sword started to glow red and more sparks than usual and each clash made the sword glow brighter. Slash started to have less time to swing her sword as Saber and Ember moved faster. The two then thought of the deaths that happened because of the Megido. Night Light, Twilight Velvet, and Arabia Night. And Ember thought about Star and how she was taken a way because of both the true enemy and the Megido. As they thought about all that, Rekka is glowing brighter than ever as Saber and Ember yelled out in frustration as they swung their swords and clashed blades with Slash. When they clashed, Slash could finally hear Rekka again and remember what her father told her. "A Sacred Sword that will lead this tale to its conclusion will be born. If you ever encounter that swordsman and his or her paladin, join them on their path." Both Saber and Ember pushed down on Slash's sword and knocked it out of her hands, and somehow they were back to Flash and Twilight when they did. Sunset, Spike, and Sprit were shocked of what they just saw, but Terra just gave a small smile to it. The flames on Rekka soon went out as both and Slash tightened her fist before she looked at Flash and Twilight. Both of them were shocked and surprise by what happened as they stumbled to stand straight. "What did I...?" Flash asked as he and Twilight looked at Rekka and wounder what was happening to it. Slash transformed back to Beat and she picked up her sword before walking off. "Beat!" Twilight called out to her to make her stop. "That one reverberated a little." Beat told them before she walked away with Terra following behind. When they left Sunset, Spike, and Sprit went over to Flash and Twilight. "You both were amazing!" Spike told Flash and Twilight who are still in shock of what happened. "Hey, you both okay?" Spirit asked. "You look like you've seen a ghost." "I felt something from Rekka..." Flash told them. "Me too..." Twilight said. "It's like it was speaking to the both of us..." All of them looked at the said sword. "Something important..." At the Megido lar, Storious return and both Zooous and Legeiel were not happy. "Who said you could use our Megido?!" Legeiel asked Storious. "You trying to create another one like Desast?!" Zooous asked him after he slammed his fist on on the table. "But a very special Megido has been born thanks to you." Storious told the two as he walked over to the Charybdis and a see though one as well that are just sitting and doing nothing. "I'm sure it will produce us a most wonderful book." The hand written device is writing a new book as we speak. Storious then went through the see through Charybdis and after he did, he hold in his hand a orb that holds a fraction of Discord's magic. Somewhere in the city, both Beat and Terra stop to talk. "When Rekka's hidden powers are unleashed, a legendary blade that will light the way will be born." She told him. "Two thousand years. My family has waited two thousand years for the two that can draw out that power." She sounds excited. "I've glimpsed at that potential in both Flash and Twilight! Sorry, but I'm leaving the organisation." "Look at those eyes sparkling like a kid!" Terra told her as if he wasn't shocked or surprised by what she just said. "If that's the path you've chosen, I won't stop you. Our goals are still the same after all." Beat gave a smile to him before she walked away. Meanwhile in Tassel's house, he threw some Wonder Ride Books with each of the riders on the covers from a chest to the floor as he is trying to find the book Light gave him. He even check his pockets to find it. When he could not think of where he put it as he hold on to his hat, he just realize where he put it. He took off his hat and there it was, in his hat. The book is grey with the Sword of Light on the cover. "Found it!" Tassel said as he pulled it out of his hat. "Use it to show them the way." He told Light as he hands her the book. "I now return as a swordswoman to carve a new page into history." Light said as she took the book and place it in her Saikou Driver. The Sword of Light. She pulled her sword out of her driver and the book open up. Release the Radiance! Outside, clouds gathered when Light pulled out her sword and a lightning bolt struck down and the book glowed bright green as it fly out the sword and into the belt. The book transformed into a light green Wonder Ride Book with a swordswoman all colorful and the title of it says, X-Swordswoman. X-Swordswoman The announcer spooked Tassel as Light took out the book from her driver and looked at it. At a construction site, workers were running away from the Charybdis just as Flash, Twilight, Sunset, Fluttershy, Celestia, Sprit, and Spike's square arrived at the scene. Just as the second on burst out dark energy and the pony counterparts, except for Spike the dragon of them appear next to them, the first one had its middle section open up wide like a mouth and swallow a hole truck. "What's with that thing's ridiculous appetite?!" Sprit shouted when they saw it eat the truck. "It's Discord!" Pegasus Fluttershy shouted. "Discord?!" Human Celestia asked. The others but human Flash, Twilight, Fluttershy and Spike were shocked to hear that. Flash, Twilight, Sunset, and Fluttershy put on their drivers and for a moment, they saw both worlds Discords head pop out from the two Charybdis and struggle to get free as they slip back. "Two more are suffering..." Twilight said as she and the others took out their Wounder Ride Books. Brave Dragon Wonder Paladin "We will save them!" Flash said as they placed their books in their drivers. Flash even place his Storm Eagle and Saiyuu Journey books in his driver before he draw out his sword as the girls pressed the buttons on their drivers. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! "Henshin!" All four shouted as they transformed into their rider forms. Flash to Saber: Crimson Dragon combo, Twilight to Ember, Fluttershy to Reverb, and Sunset to Shine. ~The Mythical Beast passed down through the ages answers by the name of... Crimson Dragon! ~Wonnder Palladin The five of them charged at the two Charybdis and when the two Megidos try to punch them, they jumped over them and land behind them. The two Megidos turned around and try to hit them, but they ducked under their attacks and swiped the legs and cause them to fall to the ground. Saber and Spike pind them down but the mouths on their chest opened up and Golem fists came out and knocked the two off them. The two Charybdis then turned invisible as the four Golem hands struck Ember and Shine before they hit Reverb. They nearly hit Saber and Spike's square if they didn't rolled out of way. Saber and the square strike the flying fists and as the other three got up, they kept their guards up since they can't see the two Charybdis. Ember and Shine felt something hit them and knocked them down. Then Saber felt something choking him as he is being lift up by the throat. When Spike's square and Reverb try to save him, they got hit back by something. The two Charybdis turned visible and Saber place his sword back in her driver and press the button on the handle before he draw out his sword. Final Page! Unsheathe the Flame! Dragon Eagle J to the West Three Volume Slash! F-F-F-Fire! He slashed his sword at the Charybdis off him and he cut off its arm. Ember slashed the other Charybdis at the leg and cut it off as well. The two regenerated their lost limbs like the Hanzaki Megid. "They're using powers from other Megido we've defeated before?" Ember asked when they saw what they just did. The two Megido charged at the riders just as Beat arrived to see this. "Flash! Twilight!" She called out to Saber and Ember as the two Megido pind them to the ground. When they did, the thought of both Discords who suffering. "We will save you!" Both Saber and Ember shouted and Rekka started to glow bright again. Beat saw this and Ember's sword started to glow bright like Rekka. When they lift the two Megid off them, both Discords popped out halfway. "Wait, what?!" Sprit shouted as she and the others are surprised to see that. "Flash's sword is separating them!" Beat said. But they the two Discords went back in and the two Megido grabbed the two before they punched them and send them crashing into a few boxes. A man who was hiding stand up when they did and one of the Charybdis went over to him and was about to eat him. "Stop!!" Both Saber and Ember shouted as they went over and pushed the man out of the way, just as the giant mouth of the Charybdis swallowed them. "Flash! Twilight!" Shine, Reverb, and Spike called out when they got eaten. "You're kidding!" Sprit shouted. "You must do something!" Both Princess Twilight and alicorn Celestia asked Beat. "My bad. Did I keep you all waiting?" Light called out. When everyone looked up, they saw her on the beam of the crane. "Hurry Light! Flash and Twilight just got eaten by one of those, whatever they are!" Spike shouted. "Leave this to me!" Light told them as she pulled out her Wonder Ride Book and open it. Gold or Sliver? She then placed the book in the slot in her driver and pulled out her sword. Release the Radiance! "Henshin!" Light said as her body turned into dust and went into the sword. Who is This? Saikou Second Chapter: The shadow born from the light; Shadow! The sword flew down behind the two Charybdis as the shadow rise up and struck the two Megid to the ground. The shadow then took out the X-Swordswoman Wonder Ride Book and open it to reveal the comic episode within. X-Swordswoman Episode One: Fight with all the colours! The shadow closed the book and place it in the slot in the belt. It the raised the sword high before it slammed the button of the belt with the bottom of the sword and the book opened up to show a rider in many colours. A giant version of the book appeared behind her and comic book panels came out and cover the shadow. Release the Radiance! ~Get all colours! X-Swordswoman! Episode One: Taking the spotlight in full colours, B-B-B-BANG! "I guard this as a sword..." Saikou said. "No, a swordswoman!" Her voice no longer in the sword but now in the rider. "What's with the flashy look?" Pegasus Flash asked. Saikou the charged quickly at the two Megid and slashed both of them. When they struck back and clashed agenst the sword, it is like they are in a comic book. Saikou the bumped the two arms down before she kicked them back. She then swung her at the two. The two Charybdis charged at Saikou as spin jumped and slashed the two before they could strike. She then kicked them both to the ground. When they got up, they open their mouths on their chest and try to eat her. But Saikou press the button on her driver with her sword and the page flipped and the armor changed. Get moving Saikou Ultimate Arm ~Full colour goes to arm! Episode Two: The colourful sword goes boom and bang! "I'll be taking Flash and Twilight back!" Saikou shouted as she used her shap arm and struck one of Charybdis and knocked the other away as she pulled out both Saber and Ember out of the first one. "You both alright?" She asked the two while they are on the ground. "Is that you, Light?" Ember asked when they saw her. Saikou close the book and open the cover. Finish Reading! She then press the button on her driver two times with her sword for a finisher. "Let there be light!" THE MOST POWERFUL! Saikou charged at the two Charybdis and slashed the two with both her blade arm and her sword. Both Discords separated from the two Megid and alicorn Celestia used her magic to catch them both. Saikou had returned to her episode one mode as the two Megido stood up from the ground. "Let's end this." Saikou said as she closed the book and open the cover for another finisher. Finish Reading! She pressed the button on her driver once with her sword and the page flipped. THE MOST COLOURFUL! "X-Sword Break!!" Saikou declared her attack as comic panels appeared and she slash both Charybdis in a once and slash them again when she landed behind them and they both exploded. "Got 'im." When the Megido got destroyed the ponies and Discord returned back to Equestria. The others transformed out of their rider forms and Sunset, Fluttershy, Sprit, and Celestia went over to Flash and Twilight. "H-h-hey, are you alright?" Celestia asked Discord. "I'm fine, Tia." Discord said. "Thank goodness..." Twilight said as she and Flash took a breather. "We managed to save him." Saikou transformed back to Light and went over to them. "Thanks you for the save." Discord said to them. "No need. Just another day on the job for a swordswoman of justice." Light told Discord. "Um, what's with the comic book hero line?" Sunset asked Light. "And seriously, where were you this whole time?" Sprit asked Light as she flew to her. "Looks like something great happened while I was gone." Light said and confused the others. "Flash. Twilight..." Beat said as she walked over to them. "I have chosen to fight alongside you." She hold out her hand. "Beat..." Flash said before he took her hand and they shook. The three smile as they are great to work together again. At night, the peaces of the two destroyed Charybdis gathered and formed a half crupted book. Storious went over to it and picked it up. "The fum has just begun." He said as he hold both the book and the orb with a fraction of Discord's magic within. The Story Continue > Volume 1, Chapter 22: Nevertheless, I Want to Save People. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hello everyone. It's me, Tassel." He introduced himself as we are inside his house. "The Swordswoman of Sound challenged both Flash and Twilight while they were still agonising over the lives they failed to save." We see what happened in last chapter as book flew out and opened itself up. We see Flash, Twilight, and Beat ready to fight. We then see Rekka glowing brighter than ever as they fight. "Both Flash and Twilight appeared to have have a revelation of sorts during the fight." Tassel said as we see Saber and Ember clashed blades with Slash before they somehow transformed back to Flash and Twilight and knocked Slash's sword out of her hands. "Will they really be able to draw Rekka's true power out?" He asked as another book flew out and opened itself to the next chapter. We open to the Southern Base where Terra told the others about what Beat decide. "Beat is following Flash and Twilight?!" Surge asked Terra. "Why would someone so loyal..." "Seriously?" Wind spoke up. "You're kidding me..." "She fell for the temptations of power and betrayed us." Mist told them. "That was the extent of her dedication." "There's no-" "I demand that you take those words back." Terra told Mist and interrupted Surge. "I'm sure she has a plan. Even apart from us, our goals are still the same!" "Taking her side are we?" Mist asked Terra. "You were friends with her father, right? Don't tell me you've also-" "Fine then, I'll get both boy's Sacred Sword and books for you." Terra told her before he left. "Terra..." Surge said when Terra left. At Fantastic Books, the group was great to have Beat back when Flash, Twilight, Sunset, Sprit, and Fluttershy told them. But both Flash and Twilight were thinking about what happened when they were pushed agenst the two Charybdis and Saber's sword glowed. Both Discords began to separate when they did for a moment. "What do you think that was...?" Flash asked Twilight. "Don't know..." Twilight answered. "It never did that when my dad wielded Rekka." "Rekka is a special Scared Sword." Beat told the two. "It's possible-" "-That it can split humans and ponies from Megido?" Spirit asked and interrupted Beat. Beat hold up her hand infront of her face when Sprit flew up to her and nodded yes. "However..." Beat spoke. "The organisation has declared that it's ready to sacrifice people and ponies for the sake of both worlds. It was decreed by our figurehead, Master Logos." "No way..." Flash said as he and everyone else couldn't believe what Beat just told them. "But it's also possible that Ruby Mist has been meddling with the information." Beat said. "So the true enemy must be-" Pinkie Pie was about to say who it must be when Light spoke up. "Nothing they said was particularly wrong." She said as she took pictures the model train set with a phone of her own. "I would've thought the same. But things are different now. It's people that shape the world. To save the world, you must save the people. And that gose for all the creatures in Equestria as well. Right?" Light had her hands on her hips when she said that. "Light..." Twilight said as she was touched by what Light just said. Then Fluttershy's phone went off and she picked it up to see who it is. "It's Discord." She told the others when she saw who sent her a message. "That guy we saved yesterday?" Sunset asked. "Yup." Fluttershy answered. "He is the one who runs that amusement park, "Chaotic World" and is dating Celestia. He is giving us a free pass to say thanks for saving him." "Cool! Let's go!" Scootaloo shouted. "Wait, us too?" Twilight asked. "It might be fun." Flash said. He, Twilight, Applejack, her sister, Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Fluttershy, Sunset headed out to that theme park. "Leave the swords to me." Beat told them as they left. "I'm going to take my sweet time looking into that ability to split human and pony from Megido." She had a creepy look on her face as she looked at Light when she said that. Light felt a chill and she looked behind her with a scared looked on her face. At the Megido lar, Legeiel is laughing out loud. "In the end, your super special Megido was still cut down by the Sword of Light." He said to Storious. "You better tell us..." Zooous started as he made Storious face him. "...that it ain't over yet." Storious smile a little as he made Zooous let go of him. "You got me." He said. "I still have another half of my special ingredients remaining." He told them as he hold up the half crupted book and the orb holding a fraction of Discord's magic. At Chaotic World, the group that arrived just found out that Discord didn't invite them to have fun, but to talk and Celestia was there as well. "A woman from an orphanage said that one of the children was gone when she came back from the market." Celestia told them. "You don't think-" Flash started. "The Megido got the kid?" Twilight finished. "It was a little girl named Cozy Glow." Discord told them. "And we were thinking the samething. The "Megido", as you call them might have turned her into a monster just like me." "Wait, you remember everything from yesterday?" Applejack asked and Discord nodded yes. "Light must have forgot to erase his memory." Sunset whispered to the others as she took out phone and gave Light a call. Back at Fantastic Books, Beat jumped right at Light as she screamed and moved out of the way and Beat crashed into the ground. "Come on, let me examine you!" Beat shouted as she got up and had a crazy look on her face. "My curiosity as a swordsmith must be satiated!" Her personalitie was like when she uses the Bremen no Rock Band book. "I refuse! Letting a stranger touch me is the worst!" Light shouted as she was on the other end of table. "But it's for the sake of both worlds!" Beat shouted as she chased Light around the table. Neither one noticed Light's phone going off. "No answer." Sunset said as she put her phone away. "Well right now, we need to save this Cozy Glow girl." Flash told them. "Here, the woman from the orphanage gave me a picture of her so you'll know what she looks like." Celestia said as puts a photo on the table. She has very light blue curly hair, peach skin, and red eyes. "And one more thing, she told me that Cozy Glow once called herself worthless." "Worthless...?" Twilight asked. "The woman said that when she lost her parents in an accident when she was younger, Cozy never made any friends." Celestia said. "She blamed herself for what happened to her parents and she didn't want to hurt anyone else. She would even hide from those who want to adopt one the orphans." "That sounds so sad." Sprit said from Twilight's pocket. "To be alone for so long, I kind of know how she feels." "There's no one in this world who's worthless." Twilight said. "We will save Cozy Glow and bring her back. I promise that." Elsewhere, Terra was picking up his son, Stone from school. "Did you finish work early, dad?" Stone asked as they walked. "Nah, I'm about to go thrown down with someone actually." Terra told his son. "Flash and Twilight quit Sword of Logos right?" Stone asked. "Why won't you?" "Never will." Terra answered. "But why?" Stone asked. "You should team up with Flash and Twilight!" "Papa's got an important reason why he continues to be a swordsman for the S.O.L." Terra said. "Reason?" Stone asked. Terra stopped and keeled down to his son. "Stone. It's to protect your future." He told Stone before he gently patted his head. "I gotta protect the future for you kids. After that comes the youngster swordsmen's future, then the world. But it's all a bit much for me alone. And that's why I have friends that fight with me." "I see!" Stone shouted. "Father's the strongest swordsman after all!" "That's right!" Terra shouted. "Papa's the bestest king of Parenting!" He then picked up his son and the two laughed. "Let's go!" At the Southern Base, both Surge and Wind were talking to each other. "Is that old fart Terra actually coming back?" Wind asked. "What?! Of course he will!" Surge shouted. "Do you really think so?" Wind asked. Surge wasn't sure after Beat left, he hasn't been sure ever since. Somewhere in the city, two kids were walking on their own. One is a boy with blue skin with a yellow streak in his hair with light blue eyes. The other is a girl with bright pink skin, light ocean blue hair, and purplish eyes. Around her neck is a necklace with a shard that looks like a piece of a pearl. The two walked before they see Cozy Glow behind a tree and shaking like she's in pain. "Hey! Are you okay?" The girl asked Cozy as the two came closer to her. "No! Don't came closer!" Cozy Glow warned them as she struggled to get away from them. "Why? Are you sick or something?" The boy asked. "I don't know..." Cozy said. "When I woke up I just..." She felt even more pain before her body started to became the goo from the destroyed Charybdis Megid before she transformed and the two were frightened. Meanwhile in Equestria, two creatures were coming out from a tree made out crystal. One is a griffin and the other is a hippogriff and their colours are the same as both the boy and girl from the human world. These two are Gallus and Silverstream. Just before they could head out, they saw Cozy Glow coming out from the shadows and shaking and the two were shocked to see her because she was supposed to be stone with Queen Chrysalis and Tirek. "How did you get out?!" Gallus asked her, but when she saw them she got shocked to see them here. "Wh-what are you two doing here?" Cozy asked. "You need to get away from me!!" "Like we're going to fall for that!" Silverstream asked as the two got closer. But they stopped and saw the samething happening to this Cozy Glow as the her human ccounterpart. The group was left Chaos World and wonder where to start looking for Cozy Glow after they took Apple Bloom and Scootaloo home. "How are we going to find her?" Sprit asked. "We don't have any leads..." "Pipsqueak from our world loved building dioramas..." Twilight said. "And the Pipsqueak from Equestria loves Luna. But we only know that this Cozy Glow wanted to be alone." "But Discord of both worlds loves chaos..." Flash pointed out. "Their Megido's goals are fixated on-" "Hey, kid!" Terra shouted and interrupted Flash. They saw him standing infront of them with his sword out. "Terra." Flash said when he saw him. "I'm here for your sword and books." Terra declared. "This isn't the time for that!" Twilight shouted. "We need to save someone!" "That's not a job for a kid!" Terra shouted. "Don't worry. I'll make this quick." He said as he took out his Wonder Ride Book. Genbu Shinwa He then placed it in his sword and pressed the button on the handle to open up the book. "Henshin!" He shouted as he swung his sword down and transformed back into Kamen Rider Buster. ~Fracture the Enemy! Divide the land! Grumble, rumble! Gekido, the Sword of Tremors! "You better get serious!" Buster told Flash. Flash stepped up and took out his Sword Driver and puts it on. He then took out her Wonder Ride Book and placed it in his driver. Brave Dragon Flash then took hold of the handle of his sword and drew it out of his sword. Unsheathe the Flame! "Henshin!" Flash shouted as he slashed his sword and transformed into Kamen Rider Saber. ~Brave Dragon! Twilight, Applejack, Sunset, Fluttershy, and Sprit moved out of the way as the two riders perpar to fight. The two charged at each other and Buster try to strike first, but Saber rolled under his attack. Buster spun around and clashed blades with Saber. It cause a small shockwave when they clashed. Buster knocked Saber into the air and he slammed into the wall before Saber fell to the ground. Buster charged at Saber as he got up and swung his sword. Saber moved just before it could hit him and the two clashed blades again but Buster prove that he is stronger. They clashed and lock blades and Buster pushed Saber back. Buster broke the lock and brought his sword down just as Saber side step when he did. Saber dodged Buster's attack when he swung his sword at him and kicked Buster in the back. The two clashed blades as the girls watch the fight from where they are. Buster then brought his sword down as Saber moved out of the way. "Every hit is so weighty..." Saber thought as he slashed Buster from the back but Buster's armour proven to be strong as him. "And half-baked attacks are never going to pierce that armour." He thought as he jumped back from a swung from Buster. Saber swung his sword only for Buster to block it with his arm. Buster then swung his sword at Saber as he rolled on the ground to dogged it. "Even so-" Saber thought as Buster charged at him and Saber jumped over his attack and his sword glowed as he slashed his sword down on Buster and clashed with his armour. Saber then back flipped when Buster swung his sword at him while his sword continued to glow. He then slashed his sword down and send a slash wave right at Buster. When the smoke clear, Saber was shocked to see that it did little damage. "You're definitely not the same as before." Buster told Saber as he took the book out from his sword. "However..." He then scanned it with his sword for his finisher. Genbu Shinwa, Ka-bam! Rocks then started to gather around the sword, making it grow bigger as Buster perpar to strike. Saber quickly place his sword back in his driver and press the button on the handle. The two look at each other as they got ready to strike each other. Saber then draw out his sword as he charged at Buster. Unsheathe the Flame! Dragon One volume strike! Fire! Gekido Skimming Smite, Ka-bam! Buster raised his sword up high as Saber charged at him before he brought it down and the two clashed blades. As they did, a big shockwave went everywhere and a big puff of smoke covered the area. The shockwave pushed the girls down and the King of Arthur Ride Book was sent flying and land on the ground as Saber was on the ground as well. "Flash!!" Twilight called out. As the smoke clear, Flash was in a crater of himself, out cold, and he hold his to block Buster's. "This guy..." Buster said as he transformed back to Terra. "He managed to withstand my strike with his sword." The girls went over to the knockout Flash and see if he's okay. "Flash!! Flash!!" Twilight shouted with concern. "Oh my God! Flash is dead!" Sprit shouted as she flew around in panic. "Don't worry missys, the boy isn't dead." Terra told them before he walked over to the King of Arthur book and picked it up. "But he'll be out for the next 2-3 days, I'd say." He then heard Flash cough and saw him get up as he used his sword to balance himself. "What?!" "I still-" Flash spoke as he ready his sword. "-need to go save... Cozy Glow!" Terra was shocked to see him standing. "Sunset, you called?" Light asked as she walked pass Terra. "Where were you?" Sunset asked Light. "Don't have time for an extra obstacle." Terra said as he walked away with the King of Arthur book. "Flash, what's wrong with that Cozy Glo-" Light stopped and saw that he is stuck in bending over while holding his sword. She bend over to see that he's out. "He fainted!" "Flash!" Twilight shouted as she was concerned. "Hang in there! Flash...!" "Boy, I'm surprised that he was able to stay conscious for a bit." Applejack said. Somewhere in the city, Cozy Glow was alone and she looked worse than before. "Someone... Please help me... It hurts... Please..." She said. A boy with light green skin and dark green hair and eyes, a girl with blueish green, blue eyes, and pink hair, and a another girl with light brown skin, brown braided hair and eyes walked over to her to see if she's alright. Their lips were moving but she couldn't hear them. She then felt more pain as her body glowed and she screamed as transformed into the Charybdis Megido and swallowed the three. Charybdis! Terra soon returned to the Southern Base where Surge and Wind were waiting. "Terra, you came back!" Surge said when Terra came in. Terra walked up to them and hold up the King of Arthur book. "This enough?" Terra asked Mist. "Where's Rekka?" Mist asked, sounding disappointed. "Radiant Light popped in at a bad time." Terra explained. "I'm sure you saw it all." "You better take it all next time." Mist told him. The group returned back to Fantastic Books and Twilight was patching up Flash from his fight against Buster. "He's lucky to get away with just this, taking one of Terra's all-out strikes." Beat said. "I seriously though Flash bit the dust." Sprit said. "So, what did you want to talk about?" Light asked Sunset. "We spoke to Discord yesterday, who still had his memories." Sunset told her. "And you didn't pick up when I called." Beat quickly turned around as Light looked at her, for she's the reason why Light didn't answer Sunset's call. "Now a little girl, Cozy Glow is gone missing! Could it be..." "I'll definitely..." Flash said while he is still out. "...save you. It's a promise..." "We both promise..." Twilight said as she hold his hand. "Even now, huh." Beat said just before Spike's book that he left alone because he is spending his time with Shining Armor and Cadence shine. Fluttershy picked it up and opened it for it to show them the Charybdis. "Isn't this Megido..." Fluttershy asked with concern as they saw the page. At the Southern Base, Mist stood out on the balcony and looked down at the three riders in the room. "A Megido has appeared. We're counting on you." She said as she looked at them. "If we fell the Megdio with our swords, the person inside-" Surge spoke up before Mist interrupted him. "A few sacrifices are unavoidable when protecting the world." She told them. In the city, the Charybdis along with its see through counterpart next to it was walking till Slash, Quake, and Reverb arrived. "Found it!" Slash said. Both Charybdis turned to face tge two riders just before the second burst out dark energy and Fluttershy, Applejack, Spike, and Smolder from Equestria appeared. "What in tarnation?!" Both Applejack and Quake shouted. If both dragon Spike and Smolder are here, that means Spike and Smolder from this world is around here. The three riders ready their swords. "Not much we can do until Light gets here...!" Slash shouted as blasted the ground near the two Megid as they charged at them. It did every little damage to them as they swung the blades they hold at the riders. The three dodged them before they ducked under their attacks and again. The two were able to get a couple of strikes in before the three pushed them back. The three rolled out of way when the two Charybdis brought their blades down on them. The jump over another one of their attacks and Slash blasted the two while in the air. The two clear the smoke using an attack from the Medusa Megid before they pulled in the riders with them. "The air...!" Slash said before the two Megid spin them around and kicked them before they slash them a few times. The three rolled on the ground, just as one of the Charybdis went over to Smolder and a swallowed her up hole. "SMOLDER!!" Applejack, Fluttershy, and Spike called out when that thing ate her. That is just when Surge, Wind, and Terra arrived. "It's Beat, Applejack, and Fluttershy!" Surge shouted when he saw them fight the Megido. Each rider took out their Wounder Ride Books and got ready to transform. But before they could, they saw the heads Cozy Glow of both worlds popped out from the two Charybdis. "That's the girl Sentry wants to save..." Terra said when he saw Cozy Glow and her Equestrian counterpart. "I'll take them down!!" Wind shouted as she charged into the fight. Split the Twin Blades! "Hold on!" Surge told Wind as she transformed into Kamen Rider Kenzan. ~Hayate, the Sword of Zephyrs! Kenzan jumped and kicked both Charybdis to the ground. She then charged at the two and ready to strike. "Stop! One of them ate my friend, Smolder!" Spike try to tell her as Slash switch her sword to blade mode. Kenzan struck both Charybdis back with her swords and when she was about to strike again, Slash, Quake, and Reverb stopped her with their swords. "Stop!" Slash told Kenzan as she and Quake grabbed her. "Let go of me!!" Kenzan shouted. "The Sword of Light can split the person and pony from the Megido!" Slash told Kenzan as the three pushed her back. The two Charybdis got up just as Spike and Smolder from this world turned the corner and saw the fight. Just then Storious himself arrived as well and send a slash wave right at the four riders and hit them and push back both Surge, Applejack, Fluttershy, Spike, and Terra. Storious walked over to Slash, Kenzan, Quake, and Reverb just as they got up from the ground. All four of them try to attack him, but he slashed each of them when they got near. All five of them then clashed blades just when Light and Sunset arrived. "What's even happening here?" Sunset asked. Both took out their Wounder Ride Books and opened them. Gold or Sliver? Wonder Paladin Both Light and Sunset place their books in their drivers and Light pulled out her X-Swordswoman book and open it up. Episode One: Fight with all the colours! After Light lift up her sword from her driver, she place the book in it and both her and Sunset pressed the buttons on their drivers and the books opened up. Release the Radiance! Paladin Stand! "Henshin!" Both Light and Sunset said as they transformed into Kamen Rider Saikou and Shine. ~Get all colours! X-Swordswoman! Episode One: TAKING THE SPOTLIGHT IN FULL COLOUR B-B-B-BANG! ~Wonder Paladin The two Charybdis lipped towards the two riders before they opened their mouths on their chest and pulled the two over to them. "Nice of you to close the distance for us!" Saikou said as she and Shine clashed blades with the two Charybdis. The two swung their swords as the two Charybdis dogged them before both Saikou and Shine kicked the two Megid back. "Let there be light!" Saikou said as she closed the book on her driver and press the button on it to episode two. Get Moving Saikou Ultimate Arm Saikou and Shine blocked the two Megid attacks and strike them back. Saikou then closed her book and press the button twice for a special attack as she spin around and slashed both Charybdis in an X slashed. The Most Powerful! Both Charybdis fell to the ground before they got back up. "What? Why can't I extract the person?" Saikou asked. "They must have done something to them." Shine said before the two Charybdis and strike both of them to the ground. "Ow. So this is what a body in pain feels like." Saikou said as she felt pain. "Feels pretty great after so long!" "You actually miss pain?!" Shine asked before they clashed blades with the two Megid and ducked under their attacks. Storious clashed blades with Kenzan, Slash, Reverb, and Quake before he powered up his sword and slashed all four of them, sending to the ground and transformed them out of there rider forms. Storious then turned his attention to Saikou and Shine. "Those Megido's are particularly special ones after all." He told the two. Storious then clashed blades with the two riders. "These Megidos contains more humans and Equestrian creaters, ones that made the darkness in the young pegasus grow. It's only fitting that both counterparts have darkness in their hearts after losing their families." He as pushed the two back and his eyes glowed as the two Charybdis stood up. The chest of both Charybdis showed not only Cozy Glow, but Gallus, Silverstream, Sandbar, Ocellus, and Yona of both worlds. There's only one Smolder in the Charybdis that is from Equestria. "They all have fused into one." Storious continue. "And they are feeling the pain the girl and her counterpart have felt for so long. Such that even the Sword of Light cannot extract them! It's just missing one more." He said as he looked at Spike with Smolder in his arms. "Spike!" Pony Applejack shouted. "Take your Smolder and get out of here!" "Don't have to tell me twice!" Spike shouted as he try to get away, but Storious shot a blast near him as a warning shot. Surge looked at his Wonder Ride Book after hearing what Storious said before he slowly placed it in his driver. His hand was shaking as he reached for the handle of his sword. "Is cutting them down our only option...?" Surge asked before he yelled in frustration and about to draw out his sword. "You're wrong!" Both Flash and Twilight's voice shouted, stopping Surge. Everyone saw Twilight hold Flash as they walked in with their swords out. They both looked at the two Charybdis and saw the victims they have as their heads popped out and they can see the pain they are in. "There's always a light in the hearts of others, and the Equestrian counterparts aren't like their human versions!" Twilight told Storious. "Enough meddling...!" Storious shouted as he walked to them but was stopped by both Saikou and Shine. They clashed blades with him to keep him away from Flash and Twilight. "Cozy Glow, those kids, or anyone else..." Flash spoke up. "Everyone has their own unique dream and future!" Cozy Glow and the others inside the two Megid can hear what Flash and Twilight were saying. "Every last person has their own unique value!" When they heard what he just said, it's like the pain just went away and a light shine within the Megidos. Outside, they began to unfused from each other. "And we will save them!" Both he and Twilight shouted. Then Rekka began to glow bright and so did Twilight's sword. Both of them knew that this is their chance to save them. So they charged at the two Charybdis and slashed through them and at that moment, both Cozy Glows, the young six, and their Equestrian counterparts came out from the the Charybdis bodies. Everyone was shocked and amazed to see what they just saw. "Now!" Saikou said after she and Shine kicked Storious back. Saikou close her book and open the cover for the finisher after she pressed the button on her driver with her sword. Finish Reading The Most Colourful! Saikou then slashed both Charybdis Megidos and freed the kids trapped. "They did it!" Both Spikes shouted. Saikou then press the button on her driver three times for a new mode. Get Moving Saikou Ultimate Leg Full colour goes to leg! Saikou then closed her book and open the cover before she pressed the button on her driver three times for a finisher. Finish Reading The Most Wonderful! "X-Sword Break!" Saikou declared her finisher as she jumped up high in the air and came down on the two Megid with a Rider Kick and destroyed them. She returned back to her Episode One form when she landed. "That was a complete victory for me." Saikou said. With the two Megid gone, the Cozy Glow and Young Six from Equestria returned home. Storious growled before he walked away. "Flash!" Twilight shouted as she went to him as he is on the ground. "Can you stand?" She asked before she and Applejack helped him up. "Hang in there!" Applejack told Flash. Then both Gallus and Sandbar went over and helped Flash up too. "Thank you for saving us." Gallus said to them. "Um..." Cozy Glow spoke up. "I'm so sorry for what happened... I never meant for this to happen at all." "Hey, it's okay." Ocellus told Cozy. "You weren't in control of yourself." Cozy looked at her and the others and saw that they forgave her. "I'm glad you're all alright." Twilight said as she looked at all six of them. Just before they could asked something, Light stood infront of them and hold her hand up as it glowed and erased their dark memories. "Let's be rid of those dark memories." Light said as she completed erased their bad memories. "What just happened?" Cozy asked. "Yona confused..." Yona said. "What was it that girl is sorry for again?" Each of them had their memories erase so they were just as confused as her. Spike went over and introduced himself as Twilight and Sunset helped Flash. Beat stood up from the ground and went over to them. "Flash and Twilight managed to save them..." Surge said. Wind just turned and walked up the steps as she put away her sword and walked pass both Terra and Surge. "Impressive, kid." Terra said when he looked at the group talking with Cozy Glow and the other kids. Storious return to the Megido lar when the Charybdis was destroyed again. "Big failure, just like Desast huh." Zooous said to him. "You wasted our Megido!" Legeiel shouted at him. "Not quite." Storious told the two as he looked at the hand written device that is still writing. "It was a success." When it was done, the hand part lifted up and the book transformed into a white Alter Book with Charybdis on the cover. "I can continue to bring it forth with this book." Charybdis! Storious picked up the book and smile as his plan was a success. "One of my finest Megido yet!" He shouted. At the home of Shinning Armor and Cadence. They along with Flash, Beat, Light, the Main Seven, the group of kids, and the CMCs were helping Cozy Glow move in for they adopted her into the family. Once they got done with the boxes, Twilight told her to go have fun with her new friends while they set up her room. "Her smile is really bright now!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "And Princess Twilight just adopted their Cozy Glow and she is just as happy as ours." Sunset said. "And they check and both Tirek and Chrysalis are still stone. It looks like Storious just wanted Cozy." "They've both found their true selves again!" Twilight said. "That's great to hear." Flash said as he helped Shinning build Cozy's new bed. "All we needed back then were strong heroes." Light told them. "But nowadays, as long as one can overcome their anxiety and anguish to become stronger, anyone can become a hero." "I agree all the way!" Flash said. "Me too." Beat said. Each of them agrees with Light but Sunset. "She's just ripping off the line from this comic book." She told them as she hold up the comic book. When they looked at Light, she had her back turned. "I am the ultimate hero. It's over for you!" Light said another line from the comic. "She did copied that." Rarity said. The Story Continue > Volume 1, Chapter 23: Raging, Hand of Ruin.  > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to Wonder World, where we see Tassel floating up by balloons. "Hi everyoooooone! Bonne Lecture!" He shouted to you as he hold on to the balloons. "Having managed to save people and Equestrians turned into Megido, our Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle's on a roll I see!" A book then fly out and opened itself to show us what happened in last few chapters. We see Rekka glowing bright just before both Flash and Twilight slash the two Charybdis and their victims were half way out. "But remember, there's still a traitor somewhere in the Sword of Logos!" Tassel reminded you as we see Mist and the other riders in the Southern Base. "But searching just leads to butting heads with the swordsmen..." We then see Flash and Twilight trying to convince Surge there IS a traitor somewhere in the Sword of Logos. "There must be a better way to uncover the truth..." Tassel said before the winds picked up and Tassel was blown away. The winds brought a book up and it opened itself up and brought us to the next chapter of this story. We open to Fantastic Books where we see the group trying to figure out what to do. Cozy Glow and the kids from that day were told what they are, what they do, and they feel they can trust them. They just felt like they need more hands on deck to help keep the people safe. "Flash and Twilight now managed to nearly split human and Equestrian from Megido twice using Rekka." Beat said. They remember what happened with the Charybdis when it was Discord and when it was Cozy. The sword glowed and some of its power went to Ember's sword and they managed to separate the Megido victim for a short time. "If my analysis proves fruitful, perhaps our Sacred Swords can be made to split them too." "Then we can save more people and ponies." Twilight said and Beat nodded yes to that. "But, what about the ones whose books finished?" Cozy asked. There was a bit of silence for none of them knew the answer to it. Flash stood up from where he was sitting and looked at the kids. "I'm sure there's a way to save them." Flash told them. "We just gotta keep looking for it." "Agree." Beat said. "Let's do our best to save all the victims." "To do that, we also need to find our traitor and set Logos straight." Light told them. "Then we can wipe out the Megido and save the world." "Easier said than done." Rainbow Dash said. "Rainbow is right. We've been unable to meet Master Logos since Ruby Mist appeared." Beat said. "So why don't we just go directly to meet this higher-up Master dude?" Sandbar asked. "Vetoed." Beat quickly said. "That's way too ridiculous to work. "Yeah, showing up suddenly to meet a big-shot-" Twilight said before she realized that it might work. "-might be good!" "What?!" Beat, Rainbow, Applejack, and Sunset asked. "Good idea." Flash, Light, Ocellus, Pinkie Pie, Cozy Glow, Silverstream, and Sprit said. And that just made Beat, Rainbow, Applejack, and Sunset more confused. "Right?" Sprit said. "Alright, off to Southern Base we go!" Beat had a look of confusion and she had a bad feeling about this. Just then, Spike came through the Book Gate with a girl with orange skin, blue eyes, and pinkish purple hair. "Long story short..." Spike said. "I was looking around the base for something that might help and Smolder found that book that turned me human and well as you can see." "I got to say..." The girl that is Smolder said. "This is so cool! I should try that book with my brother. Did we miss something?" At the Megido lar. Storious is holding the Charybdis book and the orb that holds a fraction of Discord's magic. "To further solidify our plans-" He spoke up. "I will be infiltrating the swordsmen's base to obtain a certain forbidden tome. Then I will need to go to the Dragon Lands in Equestria to find something that will help." "What...?" Legeiel asked as he was shocked to hear what Storious just said. "What kinda crazy book is that?" Zooous asked Storious. Storious laughed a bit before he spoke. "Looking forward to finding out once I have it in my hands." He had a mischievous smile on his face at the thought. At the Southern Base, we see a throne room filled with many people all wearing red clothing and kneeling down to a man in a red cloak with a hood covering his face sitting in a throne, this man is Logos. "A new threat to this world looms on the horizon." Logos told Mist and all the people in the room. "As the honourable Sword of Logos; the protectors of this world's balance. I ask that you spare no effort in your battles to safeguard this world." "Understood!" Mist and all the people shouted. Back at Fantastic Books, Beat was trying to talk the others out the idea. "We can't just charge through the front door, especially since we're traitors to them." She told them. "Then why not just sneak in?" Smolder asked. "Would work, but one big problem with that: the Southern Base is protected by a barrier, just like the Northern Base." Beat said. "To get in, you need a swordsman's Book Gate." "Like the one Surge used to connect to the Northern Base." Rarity assumed. "And I assume yours doesn't work?" Light asked Beat. Beat then pulled out her Book Gate book and open it. "The link's been severed." Beat said before she closed the book. "So there's no way in...?" Ocellus asked. "Wait, there is..." Twilight said and getting the others attention. "How do you plan to get in?" Zooous asked Storious. "There's that damn barrier." "I have something in mind." Storious said. "Zooous, I'm sure you're raring to go wild." "OF COURSE!!" Zooous shouted as stood up. "I owe the water swordsman some payback! I'll tear him up this time!" "I want the Swordsman of Fire and his paladin." Legeiel told the other two. "The rest don't interest me." "They will be coming too." Storious told Legeiel, witch made him smile. "Well then, I'll leave you to it." He told them before he left. "You want to chat directly with Master Logos?" Terra asked the group. In a where warehouse, they called Terra and see if he can help. "On top of that, you want my Gate so you can get into the Southern Base?!" "Sorry to ask this of you, Terra." Beat said. "Terra, please!" Flash spoke up. Terra looked at each of them as he thought it over before he slammed his fist on a barrel next to him. "Easy for you to say!!" Terra shouted. "But I'm still a Logos swordsman. Later." He told them as he grabbed his sword and left. None of them try to stop him and just let him go. "Terra..." Twilight said as she watched him leave. Both Sprit and Cozy Glow saw something on the place where Terra slammed his fist. "Hey..." Cozy said as she picked up a Book Gate that Terra left behind for them. "Isn't that...?" Sprit asked as Cozy Glow hold up the book. Book Gate "A Book Gate to the Southern Base." Beat answered. "He owe Terra one big time for this." Flash said as Cozy handed him the book. "Thank you." He saw to where Terra left. Just then, Spike's book went off so he took it out of his bag. "Seriously, now?" Smolder asked when she too heard it. "Me and Sunset will deal with this." Light told them. "The rest of you head for the Southern Base." "Thanks, Light." Twilight said as she, Flash, Sprit, and Beat headed out to the Southern Base. "We're staying to help out." Applejack said as she, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy stay behind. Spike was about to go with Flash and Twilight before Light grabbed him. "You and these kids are staying here." Light told Spike as she pulled him back. "Lead us to the Megido!" She, the girls, and the kids headed to where the Megido is attacking. Somewhere in the city, people were running away from the Megido that are attacking and that Megido is Zooous as he slashed his blades in every detection. While Zooous have his fun, Legeiel watch him from the top of a bridge. As he sends a slash wave at some people, a book appeared, blocked the attack, and both Surge and Wind arrived at the scene. When they charged at Zooous, Storious came out around a corner. "Now then, it's time I set off." He said as he went in the book Surge and Wind came out of as he had planned. "Been waiting for you, Swordsman of Water!" Zooous said when he saw Surge. "What, you ignoring me?" Wind asked Zooous. She then took out her sword just as Surge ready his driver. "Ready?" Surge asked Wind as he placed his on. "Well, well. No Swordsman of Fire or his paladin." Legeiel said in a disappointing tone. Surge and Wind took out their Wounder Ride Books and opened them up before they placed them in their transformation devices. Lion Senki Unsheathe the Current Sarutobi Ninja-den Twin Blades Split "Henshin!" Both Surge and Wind shouted as they slash their swords and transformed into Kamen Rider Buster and Kenzan. ~Hayate, the Sword of Zephyrs! ~Fantastic Lion! The two riders ready their swords and charged at Zooous as they clashed blades. Zooous brought his sword down on Kenzan just as she dodged him. Blades slashed his sword as Zooous dodged him and clashed blades with the two riders. Legeiel watch the fight from where he is before he left. At the Southern Base, Flash, Twilight, Sprit, and Beat used the Book Gate that Terra left them to enter the meeting room. "Good. No one's here." Beat said as they arrived. "This is the Southern Base...?" Flash asked as saw the room. "It looks kind of like the Northern Base." Sprit said as she got look at the room. "We'll head straight to Master Logos. This way." Beat told them as she lead the way and they followed her. They soon enter an elevator and when it reached a new floor, they moved quietly out of it and found themselves in a very long hallway. But then an alarm went off and startled them. "W-Wait, they found us already?!" Sprit shouted as she flew into Twilight's pocket to hide. "No, it's too soon!" Beat said as she looked around and saw something. "Then what..." Twilight was about to ask before she and Flash saw what Beat is seeing. They saw a few people and Mist coming out of a room, not to far down the hall. "Find them." Mist ordered the group of people. "Understood." The group said to Mist before they went off. Flash, Twilight, and Beat hide behind a pillar as to not to be seen. "Not good. It's Ruby Mist." Beat whispered. "We gotta move." Flash and Twilight followed Beat away from Mist as they look for where Logos is. Back in the city, Kenzan and Blades continue to fight Zooous as Kenzan side flip from one of Zooous's attack. He managed to knock her to the ground before he clashed blades with Blades. Kenzan jumped over Blades and clashed blades with Zooous. Zooous pulled his swords back before he punched her and jumped over her and kicked Blades back then Kenzan. Zooous clashed blades with Blades before he back flipped from one of Blades's attack. When he is a few feet away, he began to laugh out loud. "You've gotten stronger, huh?" He asked Blades. "Oi, change into that already. Why restrain yourself?" He threw his swords aside. "Go all out already!!" "If you insist..." Blades said. "...then you shall receive!!" He puts his sword back in her driver and pulled out his King Lion Daisenki book. King Lion Daisenki The blue mane donning a suit of armour now transcends nature and roars from the throne above! After he closed the book and took out the other three, he placed his King Lion Daisenki book in his driver and draw out his sword to switch to his Upgrade form. Unsheathe the Current ~King Lion Daisenki! In layman's terms, it's a warrior who fire cannons. Blades fired his shoulder cannons at Zooous, but he rolled out of way to dodged the blast. Blades then ready his sword as he charged at Zooous and clashed his sword agenst his arm. The two threw punches at each other before Zooous was knocked forward and Blades slashed him from the back. Zooous grabbed Blades and hold his arms. "There we go! Much better!" Zooous shouted. "It's time I avenged my mentor!" Blades shouted before he pulled away from Zooous and slashed him with his sword. Zooous stumbled back from his attack as Kenzan came up behind him and try to slashed, but he ducked under her attack and blocked her when she try again and pushed her back. Zooous then kicked Blades back when he got near. The girls, kids, and Light arrived at the scene to see the two riders fight Zooous. "Looks like Surge and Wind are fighting!" Rarity said as she and her friends puts on their drivers. "Perfect. We can take Zooous down here and now." Light said as she puts on her driver on. She flipped the leaver on her driver before she and the girls took out their Wounder Ride Books and place them in their drivers. Light took out her sword from her driver and the girls pressed the button on theirs. Release the Radiance! Paladin Stand! "Henshin!" The girls shouted as the girls transformed into their rider forms and Rarity transformed into her Upgrade form, Light placed her X-Swordswoman book in her driver and press the button with her sword. Release the Radiance! "Henshin!" Light shouted as she slashed her sword and she transformed into Kamen Rider Saikou. ~Get all colours! X-Swordswoman! Episode One: Taking the spotlight in full colours B-B-B-BANG! Saikou and the paladins charged into battle as Pinkie and the kids cheered them on. Both Saikou and Whirlwind jumped and kicked Zooous in the chest while Aqua used the blasters on her arms to blast him. After got sent flying, Quake, Reverb, and Shine slashed him before he hit the ground. "Hey, you're that Sword of Light!" Kenzan shouted when she saw Saikou. Kenzan charged at Saikou and she swung her swords, only for Saikou to dodged her. "You again?" Saikou asked Kenzan. "I'm gonna defeat you and drag you back to the organisation!" Kenzan shouted as she charged at Saikou and swung her swords again and Saikou step back or clashed blades with her. Kenzan even spin kicked but missed before she clashed blades with Saikou. Meanwhile at the Southern Base. Storious was choking one of the soldiers before he tossed him to the ground and knocked him out. Two men came down and one of them try to attack him, only for Storious to block his attack and knock him out by knocking him to the wall. When the second one try to get him, Storious grabbed him and smacked his back before he punched it to knock him out. Before he could continue, he heard someone at the top of the stairs, Logos with the hood of his cloak still up and in his hand is a black book. When Storious shot a blast at Logos, Logos used the book as it glowed and blocked the blast. Storious was surprised by this but quickly turned to amazed. "What magnificent power!" He complimented. "I presume you are the current Master Logos." "And you were one of "The First" I presume?" Logos asked Storious. Storious chuckled at that question, like it was it was a joke to him. "A pleasure to meet you." Storious said to Logos. "What brings you here?" Logos asked Storious. Storious walked up the steps to Logos. "While chatting with you sound enticing..." Storious said before he stopped halfway. "I have come for a certain forbidden tome. It just so happens to be here, is it not?" Logos stayed silent as he knew what forbidden tome Storious is after. Meanwhile in a different part of the Southern Base. A man is walking down a hallway and little did he know that Flash, Twilight, and Beat was sneaking and waiting till he was gone to go down the hall. Before they could, two people ran pass them so they quickly hid. Beat looked around the around the corner to see if the cost was clear. "This is bad. Let's get out of here." She whispers to Flash and Twilight. "But we're so close!" Twilight whispered to Beat. "We gotta meet Master Logos first!" Twilight then grab Flash's arm and the two went on. "Wait, don't run off..." Beat try to stop them as they run down the hall. She quickly hid when she heard some solders went by. Both Flash and Twilight found themselves in a different part of the Southern Base as they try to find Logos. As they try to sneak around, a man approached them. "Over here." He said to the two and startled them. The man has long black hair and the same skin as Sophia. The man walked away as both Flash and Twilight covered each others mouth as to not to make a loud noise. "W-w-wait, hang on!" Flash called out to the man that saw them as the two followed him. With Beat, she was hiding next to a fireplace till Terra saw her and went over to her. "Beat!" Terra said. "We got trouble." "What happened?" Beat asked him. "Apparently a Megido got in here." Terra answered. "What?!" Beat asked in shocked by what Terra just told her. "You better pull back." He told her but then noticed that Flash and Twilight aren't with her. "Where's the boy and the girl?" "They ran off to Master Logos by themselves!" She answered him. "They what?!" He asked in shocked. With Flash and Twilight, they continue to follow the guy who found them till he stopped and hold up a Book Gate and opened it up. Open The Gate A giant book appeared infront of them and opened up. But the glow of it was different as it has a mix with purple with the golden glow. "H-hey, wait!" Twilight called out to the guy who was about to enter the Book Gate and the two went in after him. Storious was on a platform with a pedestal on it as he walked over to it. Storious then reached and took the forbidden tome that the pedestal hold. "This is the forbidden tome?" He asked as he took a look at it. The spin of the book had what looked to be bones of a dragon with dragon claw scratch on the cover. The Book Gate open up and Flash, Twilight, and the guy came out from it and they are in a different part of the Southern Base. "Where...?" Flash asked. But when he and Twilight turned the guy that brought, he disappeared. Another Book Gate open up from the other end of the room they're in and Storious came out of it. "Storious...?" Twilight asked when she and Flash saw him. "What are you doing here?!" "What about you two?" Storious asked. "I doubt you're in any position to be revealing yourselves so brazenly either." "What are you after?!" Flash asked Storious. "I already have what I came for." Storious told the two as he hold up the forbidden tome. "Now, I just need something from the Dragon Lands in Equestria." Both Flash and Twilight took a defense stands when they saw the book. "Farewell then. Until we meet again." He told them before he shot a blast at them. They dodged it as Storious used the orb to create a Book Gate and quickly entered it. "Hold it!" Both Flash and Twilight shouted as they ran into the Book Gate after Storious. When they came out on the other side, they are in a wide open rocky place and the heat is so hot. Somehow, Storious managed to make the Book Gate to take them to the Dragon Lands in Equestria. "Stop, what is that book?!" Flash asked Storious as they chase after him. But stop when they saw him turn around. "This?" Storious asked. "It was sealed away long ago due to the danger it posed to both humanity and all of Equestria. A forbidden tome." "All the more reason not to let you have it then!" Twilight shouted as she and Flash puts on their drivers. "Sprit, you get to cover." Sprit understand and flew out from Twilight's pocket and hide behind a rock and watch them. Flash and Twilight then took out their Dragonic Knight and Dragonic Paladin books. Dragonic Knight Dragonic Paladin They place them in their drivers and Flash draw out his sword as Twilight pressed the button and their books opened up. Unsheathe the Flame Paladin Stand! "Henshin!" They both shouted as Flash slash his sword and they both transformed into Kamen Rider Saber and Ember, Dragonic Knight and Paladin forms. Don't miss it! ~Dragonic Knight! In other words, it's the strongest! The two charged at Storious as he transformed into his Megdio form and clashed blades. From on top of a cliff near by is Princess Twilight, Flash Sentry, Spike, Smolder, Garble, and Dragon Lord Ember. They heard the commotion and saw Saber and Ember clash blades with Storious. "What's going on?!" Ember asked as she saw Saber and Ember send a slash wave right at Storious, only for him to dodged it and send one back at them. Saber and Ember blocked it with their swords as it pushed them back. They then send the slash wave behind them and got no damage. "Something tells me it has something to do with him!" Spike pointed at Storious down below. "Perfect." Storious said. "Let us take a glimpse at this tome's power." He hold up the forbidden tome and opened it. When he opened it, the area around him, the riders, and the spectators went dark as dark energy flow into the forbidden tome and two bonne dragon claws came out from it. The claws stretch way out to the sky and the sight of them send a chill down the dragons. "What's going on?!" Saber asked when he and Ember saw the claws. The claws soon broke through what looked to be a barrier and went to the human world, where we see Blades, Aqua, Quake, and Reverb continue to fight Zooous, while Shine and Whirlwind try to keep Kenzan away Saikou. They all soon stop when they saw the claws go higher. "What..." Blades and the others were shocked to see what ever they are seeing. "What is that?" Spike asked as he, Pinkie, and the others saw hide behind a pillar. Back in the Dragon Lands, the claws showed no signs of stopping as they continues to go up. They soon reached around and slashed into the ground, causing Storious to drop the book and ducked out of the way. Both Saber and Ember crashed on the ground as they transformed back to Flash and Twilight by the claws. When the two got up, they saw the forbidden tome on the ground and away from Storious. "I never expected that much power..." He said. Flash and Twilight quickly got up and ran over to the forbidden tome and picked it up. Just as Twilight hold it in her hands, Legeiel dropped down from the dimensional hole in the sky and landed in the Dragon Lands. "Saber! Ember!" He called out to Flash and Twilight. "Your opponent from here on will be me!!" He transform into his Megdio form and laughed. "Legeiel!" Flash said when he and Twilight saw him. Legeiel jumped from the cliff and try to strike both Flash and Twilight. The two manage to dodged him a couple of times before Flash clashed blades with him. Legeiel spun around and knocked the two to the ground. When Legeiel went in for the kill, the forbidden tome lit up in darkness and opened itself up. Both Flash and Twilight saw this and felt something take hold of them as they saw a young dragon claw reach out before the pages of the flip through on its own. They then see an image of a young white dragon that looks sad. As Legeiel charged at them, the two claws came out from the forbidden tome and knocked him back. The claws the rapped around both Flash and Twilight and they screamed out in pain as they the forbidden tomes power, the power so strong that it shattered Twilight's glasses and a white line form on her hair next to the pink one. Back in Fantastic Books, Twilight's pop-up book that Star gave her glowed as the forbidden tome split in two and became Wonder Ride Books. Primitive Dragon The ponies and dragons saw both Flash and Twilight were in pain as they hang their heads down. The two slowly raised their heads and their eyes glowed in dark bluish purple before they went back to normal. Both Storious and Legeiel watch as Flash puts his sword back in his driver the two open their Primitive Dragon books. Both were hollow but Flash's had a folded claw while Twilight's had two small claws with a scull of a dragon on top. Primitive Dragon Then Flash place his Brave Dragon book in his Primitive Dragon book while Twilight did the same with her Wonder Paladin book. Brave Dragon Wonder Paladin Get! The slowly placed their books in their drivers and Flash reached for the handle of his sword, only to grab it back handed. Giant version of the two books appeared behind them and opened up to reveal the giant version of both Brave Dragon and Wonder Paladin inside. Both had skeletons of dragons floated around them. Everyone watch as both Flash and Twilight cracked their necks when they move their heads around. The four dragons that saw the skeleton dragons made their hearts beat with fear. "Henshin." Both Flash and Twilight said as Flash draw out his sword and Twilight pressed the button on her driver. The book on Flash's driver had its claw closed on the Brave Dragon book while Twilight's claws and head took hold of her Wonder Paladin book. They transformed into a new, terrifying, Upgrade forms. Unsheathe the Flame Paladin Stand! ~CRACK! CRUNCH! BONE! ~CRUSH! CHOMP! BONE! ~PRIMITIVE...DRAGON! Ember's new Upgrade form is similar to Saber's, only her helmet has a dragon scull bitting down on it. Her shoulders has dragon claws holding down ot her chest that has the cover of her Wonder Paladin book down the middle. The two then cried out like monsters and dark energy went everywhere. The two lowered them selves near the ground and looked ready to attack. Back at the Southern Base, Logos sits on his throne and smiles as he came feel the power of the forbidden tome has been unleashed. Saikou clashed blades with Kenzan before she stopped and felt something. "That aura..." She said before she took off in the direction of when the claws came out from. "Oi, stop!" Kenzan shouted at Saikou as she, Whirlwind, and Shine went after Saikou. "I have a bad feeling." Blades said as he and Aqua clashed blades with Zooous. Both Quake and Reverb punched Zooous off the two. "Let's follow her!" He told them as they followed Saikou to where the claws were. "You're not getting away!!" Zooous shouted as got up from the ground and went after the riders. "Us too...!" Pinkie Pie said as she and the kids followed the riders. Saber and Ember acted like savage beasts and Legeiel wants to know why. "What's all that supposed to mean, huh?!" He asked the two as he charged at them but got grabbed by the throat by them. Saber and Ember pushed Legeiel back while holding on to him before they pushed him to the ground. Legeiel quickly got back up just as Saber and Ember charged at him and clashed blades. They kicked before they pushed him, they crawled like beast to get closer and slashed with their own hands and then their swords. When Legeiel try to strike Saber, he caught Legeiel's sword with his hand and both he and Ember slash him with their swords a few times. Ember then swiped his legs and Legeiel fell to the ground as both she and Saber jumped like a savage monster and try to stabbed Legeiel, but he rolled out of way before they landed. "Legeiel, they're more dangerous than you think." Storious told him as he walked to him. The two creeped to them like a predator about to pounced on its prey. Storious send a slash wave right at them, only for it to have no effect and they charged at the two Megid. Saber clawed Storious while Ember dodged Legeiel's attack and struck him to knocked him into Storious. "We got to help them!" Princess Twilight said. "Which one needs help though?" Flash asked before he noticed the four dragons next to them ate shaking like leafs. "Hey, are you all okay?" Spike, Smolder, Garble, or D.L. Ember didn't answer for they're sacred stiffed. To Twilight, Sprit, and Flash they only see Saber and Ember. But to the dragons, they can see a dragon that's all bones and covered in white flames as it's near the two riders. They can't explain it, but just see it just makes them want to scream in terror but they're so scared of it that they can't get a word in. Saber and Ember then kicked swiped like a slash at Legeiel. Storious try to strike them, but Saber kicked him back before he and Ember strike Legeiel and he fell to the ground. "What is this?!" Legeiel asked. "Is that really the Swordsman of Fire and his paladin?" Both Saber and Ember had Storious pind down and beat on and show no mercy with each strike. They then picked him up and kneed him in the stomach and tossed him. Saikou jumped down from the dimensional hole and saw both Saber and Ember in their Berserk Forms just as the others jumped down from the dimensional hole, while Quake, Shine, and Whirlwind hold Pinkie and the kids. "What..." Blades said when he saw Saber and Ember. "Isn't that Flash and Twilight...?" They watch them brutally beat Storious before they knock him back and roared out like monsters. "What's wrong with them?" Reverb asked. "They're acting like animals..." "They're gone berserk. Flash and Twilight are not in control!" Saikou said. "Berserk...?" Blades asked. "What in the hay do you mean?" Quake asked Saikou. "What happened to them?" Just then Zooous jumped down from the dimensional hole, landed not to far from them, and saw what's going on. Both Storious and Legeiel got knocked to the ground by Saber and Ember, just as Saber puts his sword back in his driver and Ember open the claws and head on her driver. Saber then push the claw of the Primitive Dragon book back and dark energy flow into their bodies. Grap Finishing Passage "This is bad. Retreat, now!" Storious shouted to Legeiel as they got up. "You think me that weak?!" Legeiel shouted. "I can overwhelm them eerily!" He then power up his sword and send multiple powerful orbs at them. Saber then draw out his sword and Ember pressed the button on her driver and the claws took hold of their books again. Unsheathe the Flame Paladin Stand! Cush Finishing Slash! The claws from before shot out and blocked the orbs before they reached out and grabbed Legeiel. The claws the pulled him closer to Saber and Ember as their swords glowed white and slashed them like claws and struck him, sending a dark pulse of energy everywhere. The pulse send not only Legeiel, but Storious, Zooous, Princess Twilight, Flash, the dragons, the kids, and the riders flying. The riders transformed out of their rider forms by the pulse when they hit the ground. "What immense power...!" Surge said when he felt the power of tge pulse. Both Saber and Ember soon transformed back to Flash and Twilight before they fell to the ground. "FLASH!! TWILIGHT!!" Sprit shouted as she flew to them. In Tassel's house, Tassel jumped out of his seat in shock. "Oh my word!" He shouted. "That new power Flash and Twilight has obtained! No one has ever been able to control it! If this keeps up, will Flash and Twilight be alright...?" The Story Continue > Volume 1, Chapter 24: On My Father's Back, the Future He Carried. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to inside of Tassel's house where we see Tassel packing a suitcase before he noticed you're here. "Hello everyone, Bonne Lecture." He said to you. "Can you believe they just tried infiltrating the Southern Base to meet with Master Logos?" A book then fly out and opened itself as we see what happened in last chapter. We see a man leading Flash and Twilight into a Book Gate where it took them to where they saw Storious with the forbidden tome. "It was there they encountered a mysterious young man and obtained a new power. A most fearsome power it was." Tassel explained as we then see them in the Dragon Lands in Equestria the forbidden tome split in two and turned into a Wonder Ride Books known as Primitive Dragon. We then see Flash puts his Brave Dragon book in his Primitive Dragon while Twilight did the same with her Wonder Paladin book. We then see them as Saber and Ember in their new Berserk forms. They the slashed their swords like claws and send a dark pulse of energy everywhere. "It will obliterate everything along its search for a certain something." Tassel said before he lift up his suitcase and runs out as a book flew out and opened itself to the next chapter. We open to Fantastic Books, where we see Fluttershy holding a tray with the two Primitive Dragon books and was shaking. "What's up w-with this book...!" She asked. "They make Flash and Twilight go insane..." "We're just lucky Discord patch up that hole that those claws made." Sunset said before she looked at Flash and Twilight. "Just what happened while you two used those things?" "We lost consciousness the moment we read it..." Twilight said. "All thanks to those book's powers?" Light asked before she took the books and Fluttershy quickly hid behind Applejack. "They don't respond to me. Don't recognise their powers either." Beat walked over and took the books. "Where did you two get this?" Beat asked Flash and Twilight. "We ran into a guy while looking for Master Logos..." Flash explained. "...and Storious was holding onto it on the other side of the gate we followed him through." "They stole from the forbidden library?!" Beat asked in complete shocked. "What's the forbidden library?" Ocellus asked. "A place where the most dangerous books are sealed." Beat answered. "But only Master Logos should be able to access it... So why...?" "Could you run an analysis on them...?" Twilight asked. "I'll give it a shot." Beat said. "The Northern Base's equipment should work." "Why do you think the dragons back in Equestria was so scared though?" Spike asked. "It was like they saw a ghost or something." "Princess Twilight said she's investigating that by seeing what's in the Dragon Lands." Sunset said. "Hope so." Sprit said. "That dark energy that flow into that forbidden tome felt all cold and stuff." At the Megido lar, Zooous was not to happy about what happened. "What the hell was that power?!" Zooous shouted. "The forbidden tome's I was attempting to steal." Storious answered. "Yeah, the one you let the Swordsman of Fire and his paladin get away with!" Zooous shouted. "I will retrieve it." Storious told Zooous. "That kind of power is better suited to us." At the Southern Base, Mist is in the throne room infront of Master Logos. "My deepest apologise..." She said. "A forbidden tome has fallen into Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle's hands. I will retrieve-" "That won't be necessary. Allow them to possess it for the time being." Logos told her. At the Northern Base, Beat pressed two books on the bottom shelves before she pushed one on the second shelf up. The computer on the table reactivate and the lights turned back on. "The Northern Base is back!" Pinkie Pie shouted with joy. Beat then placed the two Primitive Dragon book on the table and the computer scanned it. "Flash, Twilight, did you both manage to meet up with Master Logos?" She asked them. "Nah, we didn't." Flash answer Beat as the computer analyzed the two Primitive Dragon books but came up with nothing. "Analysis failed as expected..." Beat said when the computer failed. "All we know for sure is that they're dangerous." Light said. "Best you both avoid using it for now." She told Flash and Twilight. Everyone noticed that they are spacing out like something is on their minds. "What's wrong?" They both snapped out of it when she asked. "Well, me and Flash saw some of the lines in that book." Twilight spoke before she quoted what they saw in the forbidden tome. "The sorrow awaiting one who loses all memories, is the hand that seeks to ruin all." "What's that mean...?" Spike asked. "We really have no idea." Flash said. "Maybe some old literature might give us a hint or two. Let's have a look." "Not without these." Rarity said as she walked over to Twilight and hands her a new pair of glasses. "Your old ones broke, so I bought you new ones." "Thank you, Rarity. But for some reason, I don't need glasses anymore." Twilight said as she put the new glasses away. At the Southern Base, Mist had gathered Surge, Wind, and Terra in the meeting room to tell them something. "While it was a Megido that attempted to steal the forbidden tome. In the end, its power fell into Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle's hands, and caused them to go berserk. We must retrieve that tome at all costs. Even if it means..." Surge had this uncomfortable look on his face as he knew what she is going to say. "...slaying both Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle themselves." "That an order from Master Logos too?" Terra asked Mist. "Well, is it?" Mist gave no answer to his question as she stay quiet. Terra picked up his sword and looked like he is about to go somewhere. "And where are you going?" Mist asked him. "Gotta pick Stone up." Terra told her as head for the door. "You know very well that the organisation is the reason your family can lead peacful lives." Mist told him. "What?" Terra asked when he heard that. "You fight to protect the world by sacrificing your life with your family." Mist said. "That is your sworn duty as a swordsman of this organisation." "Then let me speak to Master L-" "My words are Master Logos' words." She interrupted Terra. Terra didn't say anything else as he turned and left. "Terra..." Surge said when he saw Terra leave. Both him and Wind were so lost that they have no idea of what to do. Terra is with his son, who is eating a snack. Stone looked at his father who has an unsure look on his face. "You're acting weird, father." Stone told him. "See, papa's fighting to protect your future and the world." Terra told his son. "I know that!" Stone said. "It's all really dangerous, and I can't do any of it alone." Terra said. "That's why I fought alongside my friends. But like, I've kinda lost faith in those friends recently. So how do I put it..." He didn't know how to put what he's going to say next. "I'm just feeling a little lost." "That's not like you." Stone said. "Guess not." Terra said after he scoffed. "Just team up with Flash and Twilight if you're feeling lost!" Stone suggested. Terra frowned a little and remember what happened when Flash and Twilight fought against Beat. "You sure like those two, huh Stone?" He asked. "Yeah! They never ever lies after all!" Stone said. "Never lies, huh." Terra said quietly as he thought about all the things that Flash and Twilight were trying to tell him. He smiled and rubbed his son's head. "Thanks a bunch. I know what I need to do now. Time to settle things just the way I like it." Back at the Megido lar, Zooous was talking to Storious about how they are going to get the two Primitive Dragon books back. "What will you even do with the forbidden tome's power?" He asked Storious. "It even backfired on you right?" "Assuming I cannot use it, I intend to hand it over to Charybdis." Storious told him. Just then, Legeiel walked in and the two can see he does not look happy. He had scorched marks all over him from the big attack from Saber and Ember. "How nice to see you're still alive~" Zooous teased Legeiel. Legeiel didn't say anything as he stubble over to the table and picked up a bunch of Alter Books and yelled out in frustration and anger. At Fantastic Books, Twilight and Flash brought some books from the Northern Base back to see if any of them can help them find out more about the Primitive Dragon book. "I might have something here!" Twilight said to Flash as she found something. "Look!" She told the others as she hold up the book and pointed to the title of the page on the book. ""The Tale of Sorrow."" "This book might give us something if we can decipher it." Flash said. "Well, the rest of us can read a word of it." Rainbow Dash said because the others can't read the language of the book, but Twilight is. "But good job I guess?" Just then the door open and the group saw Terra and his son walked in. "Terra." Flash said when he saw him. "Fight me, boy and girl." Terra said to Flash and Twilight. "Fight him!" Stone shouted. Flash and Twilight looked at Terra and cane tell that he wants to fight Flash for a reason. "This will be our last one." Terra told them. "Alright. W'll fight you, Terra." Flash agrees to Terra's challenge. They soon stood infront of the water front of the docks. The girls, Spike, Sprit, Cozy, and Stone watches them from a safe distance as Terra place his Wonder Ride Book in his sword. Genbu Shinwa "Show me everything you got." Terra told Flash. Flash and Twilight took out their Wonder Ride Books and perpar to transform. Brave Dragon Wonder Paladin They place them in their drivers and Flash draw out his sword as Twilight pressed the button on her driver and Terra pressed the button on his sword and their books opened up. Unsheathe the Flame PaladinStand! "Henshin!" All three shouted as Flash and Terra slashed their swords and Twilight was covered in flames and they transformed into their rider forms. ~Brave Dragon ~Wonder Paladin ~Gekido! "Not like that!" Buster told Saber and Ember. "I want you to throw all your powers at all! Your blades. Your books. ALL of it!" "This is fine." Saber told Buster. "We don't need to go all out." Ember said as Buster scoffed. The three then ready their swords. The group watch as they charged at each other and clashed blades. The three riders struggled to get one over the other, before Saber and Ember stepped aside and Buster stumbled forward. Buster quickly turn around and clashed blades with Saber and Ember. "That's one heavy blade...!" Buster told Saber. "You've sure gotten stronger!" Buster told the two. "But..." He swung his sword as the two blocked his attacks and got knocked to the ground. Saber place his sword back in her driver as he and Ember got up. "Next up is this!" Saber shouted as placed his Storm Eagle and Saiyuu Journey books in his driver and draw out his sword and switch to his Crimson Dragon combo. Unsheathe the Flame ~Crimson Dragon! Both Saber and Ember charged at Buster and clashed blades. Buster swung his sword at them, but they blocked and push back his attack with their swords. Buster blocked their kicks and slash before he spun around and clashed blades with them and knocked them to the ground. They quickly got back up and Saber place his sword back in her driver and press the button before he drew it out. Final Page! Unsheathe the Flame Dragon Eagle J to the West Three Volume Slash! F-F-F-Fire! Both Saber and Ember send a flamnado right at Buster but he blocked their attacks with his sword before he swiped it away. Saber the extend a red staff from his left arm and struck Buster. "That's more like it!" Buster shouted as he took out his book from his sword and replaced it with Jack-to-Domamenoki book. Jack-to-Domamenoki Gekido Skimming Smite Ka-bam! Buster then shot out seeds at Saber and Ember but they dodged them. Buster then shot out a vine at them and Saber and Ember slashed their swords at it before Saber grabbed Ember and fly up. Buster shot seeds and a vine at them while they're in the air as they dodged the seeds and slashed the vine as they came down before they clashed blades and an explosion happened. Saber's Stome Eagle and Saiyuu Journey books flew out from his driver as did the Jack-to-Domamenoki book fell out from Buster's sword as the three crashed on the ground. Saber and Ember struggle as they got up from the ground. "We're not done yet!" Ember shouted. "We still have more power left to show you, Terra!" As Buster stood up, Saber place his sword back in his driver and both he and Ember took out their Wounder Ride Books and replaced them with their Dragonic Knight and Dragonic Paladin books. Saber then drew out his sword as Ember pressed the button on her driver as she took out Ikazuchi and they both transformed into their Upgrade forms. Unsheathe the Flame Paladin Stand! Don't miss it! ~Dragonic Knight! With their Upgrade forms, they charged at Buster just as he did the same to them. The three clashed blades with each other before Buster spun them around and then clashed blades. Saber swung his sword and clashed it against Buster's arm. Nither one of them was letting up as both Saber and Ember slashed their swords at Buster before they clashed blades and Rekka began to glow bright. Saber and Ember brought their swords down and stuck Buster. "They beginning to draw out Rekka's true strength..." Buster said to himself as he shaked his hand. "Well then, how about this!" He lift up his sword and scanned his Genbu Shinwa book. Genbu Shinwa Ka-bam! As Buster scanned his book, Saber and Ember scanned Saber's Booster with their swords. Special! Hmm, hmm, hmmmm! Rocks gathered on Buster's sword as he perpar to strike just as flames gather on both Saber's and Ember's swords. Concluding Flash! Gekido Skimming Smite, Ka-bam! Buster's sword grew big as he brought his sword down on Saber and Ember and they blocked it with their swords and surprise him that they are able to still stand. As they hold thheir own, they slide their swords down on Buster's before they close to him for a big slash. After an explosion cleared, all three fell to the ground and transformed out of their rider forms. The group went over to Flash and Twilight, while Stone went over to his father to see if they're okay. "You two okay?" Spike asked Flash and Twilight. "I'm fine, Stone!" Terra told his son. He watch both Flash and Twilight struggle to get up as they're tired from the fight. "Potential, huh..." He then remember what Beat told him after she fought them. ("I've glimpsed at that potential in both Flash and Twilight!" Beat told him.) And now he saw that same glimpse as well. "Terra!" Flash shouted. "You're feeling lost, aren't you?!" "These two..." Terra said while he looked at Flash and Twilight. "You've gotten a smidge better, but you still aren't a full swordsmen yet either!" Terra told them as he struggled to sit up. "Well, guess I'll take on the job of fixing that." The group looked at him after he said that. "What do y'all mean?" Applejack asked him. "Means starting today, I'm joining the fight on your side!" Terra declared before he stood up. "Sound good to you? Flash. Twilight." Their friends helped them get up and they looked at Terra with smiles on their faces. "Thank you so much!" Twilight said to him. "Looks like you're back to normal, father!" Stone said. "All thanks to you, Stone!" Terra said as he kneel down to his son. Just then, a gust of wind blew and kicked up the smoke and blind everyone. "What's with the smoke?" Rainbow asked as she coughed. They were blinded by the smoke that they didn't see the Jack-to-Domamenoki, Storm Eagle, and the Saiyuu Journey books be taken by the smoke. When the books were gone, the smoke began to clear up. "Wasn't that...?" Twilight asked as the smoke clear, like it was the same when the Sword of Shadows and its books disappeared. Spike looked down and saw the three books are gone. "Guy! The Wonder Ride Books are gone!" Spike shouted which made the others worried. "What?!" Terra shouted. As they looked around for them, Mist who is welding a Sacred Sword watch them from not too far. This sword is long, red, with yellow going up the blade and a place near the handle where a Wonder Ride Book goes. It is the Sacred Sword of Smoke: Eneiken Noroshi. In her other hand are the three books, she had stole them while she had the smoke to blind them. The group returned back to the Northern Base and told Beat what had happened. "I see. So you've left the organisation too." Beat said to Terra. "I'm also going to gamble on the potential in these two." Terra said as he looked at Flash and Twilight, who smile back. "Terra...!" Flash said as and the others are great to have him back. "I'm sure Surge and Wind will eventually." "Big swordsman stands out..." Yona said as she looked at Terra as he stands up. "Don't celebrate yet..." Terra told them. "Someone's stolen our Wonder Ride Books. What even was that smoke...?" "We've seen it before." Spike spoke up before he looked at Flash, Twilight, and Sprit. "Remember? After Night Light died, and he try to pass the Sword of Shadows to you Flash." "That's right..." Twilight said. "After my father tried to passing Flash the Sword of Shadows to him, it and the two books was enveloped by a smog and disappeared." "That can't be a coincidence." Cozy said. "You think someone has a sword that can control smoke? I mean, there is one for fire, water, electricity, wind, sounds, light, earth, and shadows." "There is a Sacred Sword with the powers of smoke..." Beat answered. "However, I've never heard of, nor met its current wielder." "Probably making them our traitor huh." Terra said as he picked up his sword. "Terra, where are you going?" Fluttershy asked. "Someone's gotta see to the other two." Terra answered before he left. Somewhere in the city, Legeiel still has a furious look on his face as he yelled out and transformed into his Megdio form. He then slashed his sword and send several slash waves right at a nearby building. Meanwhile in a warehouse, Terra had both Surge and Wind there so they can talk. "I've come to tell you something. I'm following Flash and Twilight." He told them. "Terra!" Surge said as he and Wind is shocked by this news. "I'm sure you two have felt it." Terra said. "The organisation's off-kilter right now." "That's..." Surge started as he thought about it. "I... I chose their side to protect Stone's future, and the world. Will you two join me?" Terra asked the two. "I..." Surge spoke as he and Wind thought it over. Then Surge gave his answer. "I will stay with the organisation. I refuse to betray my family." He then bowed his head before he turned to leave. "Wind." Terra said to her. "I won't force you. Make your own choice." "What would Arabia do in this situation...?" Wind asked herself. Back at Fantastic Books, the group was waiting for Terra to get back till Twilight spoke up. "Light, me and Flash have recalled something else." "Recalled something?" Light asked. "We both had a dream when we lost consciousness." Flash said. "There was a little white dragon reaching out towards us, with a sorrowful expression on its face..." He said as he and Twilight remembers what happened when the forbidden tome opened up and its pages flipped on their own. "Like a lonesome child might..." Twilight said as she sounds sad for the little dragon. Just then, Spike came through the door with the CMCs with worried looks on their faces. "We got a Megido!" All four of them shouted. "A Megido is running wild in the city!" Apple Bloom told them. Back at the Southern Base, Surge was holding his head and is upset about what's been happening. "First Beat..." He said to himself. "Now Terra's left too..." He removed his hands from his head. "Even if I become the only one left...I will continue fighting for the organisation!" Mist walked up to him while his head is down. "Only you, are truly loyal to us." She told him. "Please do us proud." Surge the got a stern look on his face as he knew what he had to be told. Back in the city, Legeiel is on a rampage as he sends another slash wave at another building. "Stop hiding and show yourselves, Swordsman of Fire and Paladin!!" He called out. Flash, Twilight, Light, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and the four squires arrived at the scene. "Legeiel!!" Flash called out to him. "Finally, you're here Saber, Ember!!" Legeiel shouted after he turned to face them before he charged at them. The group split up as Legeiel try to strike both Flash and Twilight. Light took out her Wonder Ride Book and open it up and place it in her driver. Flash and Twilight took out their Dragonic Knight and Dragonic Paladin books while Rainbow Dash and Applejack took out their Wounder Ride Books and place them in their drivers. Gold or Sliver? Dragonic Knight Dragonic Paladin Wonder Paladin Flash then drew out his sword as the girls pressed the buttons on their drivers and their books opened up. Unsheathe the Flame Paladin Stand! Legeiel charged and clashed blades with Flash. "Henshin!" He and the girls shouted as they transformed into their rider forms. Don't miss it! ~Dragonic Knight! ~Wonder Paladin! "Henshin!" Light shouted after she placed her X-Swordswoman book in her driver and press the button with her sword. She then transformed into Kamen Rider Saikou. ~X-Swordswoman! Saber ducked under one of Legeiel's attack just as Saikou and Whirlwind clashed blades with him. Legeiel pulled back before he clashed blades with Spike's square and Quake. Legeiel dodged Saber's and Ember's swords before he clashed blades with them. Legeiel grabbed Saikou's arm when she try to strike him and kicked both Apple Bloom's and Scootaloo's squires back. When Legeiel blocked Saber whe he try to strike him, both Whirlwind and Saikou slashed their swords at him. But he dodged them before Ember and Quake slashed their swords and got him. Then each square thrust their swords forward and stuck Legeiel, causing him to roll on the ground. He growled as he got up and the riders were ready for what he's got. "I swear I will beat you both, even if it costs me everything!" He declared as he took out the bunch of Alter Books he brought with him and brought them together. They glowed as he dropped them on himself and asorbed them into his body. He felt the power of all those books course through him before a big burst of power went everywhere and knocked the riders down while it destroys the squares. Legeiel then laughed as he took out his sword and easily over powered both Saikou and Quake. He then kicked them back before he blocked Saber's and Ember's attacks. He then used them to pushed them into Quake and Whirlwind when they charged at him. "He's way stronger than usual!" Saber shouted before Legeiel struck him and Ember to the ground. When they were on the ground, Legeiel try to strike them but they blocked him with their swords. Ember kicked him off them just as Saikou ran in to try to get a strike him, only for Legeiel to strike her with his sword and block her when she try to and she fell to the ground. Saber and Ember stuck him, only to have little effect and for him to strike back with jis sword and they both fell to the ground. "If this keeps up..." Ember said. Back at the Northern Base, the two Primitive Dragon books glowed as they floated up before they vanished in thin air and shocked Beat, and the kids that were watching the fight from their. "It disappeared?!" Beat asked in shocked. "Where'd it go?" Spike asked. Back in Fantastic Books, Twilight's pop-up book glowed bright. Back at the fight Legeiel walked to the down Saber and Ember, ready to end them. "This is the end!!" He shouted as he was about to strike Saber, but both Primitive Dragon books appeared, blocked the attack, and knocked him back. Both Saber and Ember were shocked to see the two books here before they possessed them. They both grow as they grabbed the two books and both the other riders and Legeiel saw this. "Not good!" Saikou shouted when she saw the two slowly stood up while Saber place his sword back in his driver after he and Ember took out their Dragonic Knight and Dragonic Paladin books from them. They then opened the Primitive Dragon books up. Primitive Dragon Saber took out his Brave Dragon book while Ember took out her Wonder Ride Book and they placed them in the Primitive Dragon books. Brave Dragon Wonder Paladin Get! They then place their books in their drivers and Saber slowly back handed gripped his sword just as Ember slowly placed her finger on the button and the giant version of the two books landed behind them, as did the boney white flamed dragon. When Legeiel send boulders right at them, Saber drew out his sword as Ember pressed the button on her driver and the claws went down on their books and they switched to their Berserk Forms and blocked the attack. Unsheathe the Flame Paladin, Stand! ~~CRACK! CRUNCH! BONE! ~CRUSH! CHOMP! BONE! ~PRIMITIVE...DRAGON! They both roared after they switched forms and took a lowered battle stands like before. In the Southern Base, Mist is in the throne room and standing before Master Logos. "May you allow me one question?" She asked him. "What exactly is that forbidden tome?" "It is a book that will bring us glory someday." Logos answered her. "A sorrowful soul dwells within it." Back with the fight, both Saber and Ember looked ready to destroy Legeiel in their Berserk Forms. Legeiel charged at them and swung his sword at Saber and he blocked it with his arm and didn't do any damage. "What?!" He said before Saber knocked his sword back before he used the sword on his helmet to strike Legeiel before Ember slashed with her claw. They then charged at him slashed him a few times with their swords or claws. Saber and Ember then front flipped on Legeiel and knocked him to the ground. They then beat on him with no mercy with each strike. As Saber and Ember continue to beat on Legeiel. Saikou, Quake, and Whirlwind watch them from behind. "Pull it together, Flash and Twilight!" Saikou told them. "Light is right, this isn't you!" Whirlwind shouted. The two stopped and slowly turned to see the three there. "Whoa nelly. Maybe we shouldn't have got their attention." Quake said as Saber and Ember charged at them. Saber try to pounced on Saikou as she stepped aside while Ember chase after Whirlwind and Quake. "Flash! Twilight! It's us!" Saikou shouted as she blocked Saber's attacks. "Don't you recognised us?!" She asked before Saber grabbed her and Ember grabbed Whirlwind and Quake by the armors and pushed them back a bit before they kicked them to the ground. "They must've lost consciousness again..." Quake said to Saikou and Whirlwind just as Fluttershy, Rarity, and Surge arrived. "They lost control again?!" Surge said with a stern lool on his face when he looked at Saber and Ember. Rarity and Fluttershy noticed the look on his face as he took out his Wonder Ride Book. "I have no choice but to stop them!" He shouted as he place his book in his driver. "No Surge! Wait!" Rarity told him as she took out her Wonder Ride Book. Both Saber and Ember saw them and they roared that caused their books in their drivers to glow dark. Then the two boney dragon claws shot out from their books and attack both Surge as he placed his other two books in his driver and Rarity and took their books while they were in the air. "Rarity! Surge!" Fluttershy called out with concerned. When they were recovering from that attack, they saw their books are gone and saw Saber replace his Brave Dragon book from the Primitive Dragon book with the Lion Senki book and Ember did the same with Rarity's Wonder Paladin book. Lion Senki Wonder Paladin Get! Saber then dew out his sword just as Ember pressed the button on her driver and the claws went down on the two books and the the covers on their armors changed to the ones in the Primitive Dragon books. Unsheathe the Flame Paladin, Stand! ~PRIMITIVE...DRAGON! As they were charged with the power of the Lion Senki book and the Aqua Wonder Ride Book, Legeiel stood up from the ground and charged up his sword with power. He then send a slash wave right at them, only for the claws to come out and blocked the attack. Saber then placed his sword back in his driver and put the claw back, as did Ember did with her Primitive Dragon book for a finisher as he drew out his sword and she pressed the button on her driver. GRAP FINISHING PASSAGE Unsheathe the Flame Paladin Stand! CRUSH FINISHING SLASH! Two purple books appeared and open up and a purple lion came out from Saber's as did acid from Ember's and attacked Legeiel. After an explosion, Legeiel was sent flying back. "That sorrow is something no one may ever fully comprehend." Logos told Mist. "And because none will ever sympathise with it, it continues to destroy all." "Open your eyes Flash and Twilight!" Fluttershy told them but they couldn't hear her. When they attention to her, the creeped to her and looked ready to attack her. Fluttershy is so frightened by their power that she's too scared to pull out her Wonder Ride Book. They then went after her but a shadow door way opened up and when Saikou thrust her sword forward to block Saber and Ember as did three riders did as well and both the two swords glowed and their powers were grown more powerful. The three riders that came out from that dark door was Calibur and his two paladins, Shade and Umbra only Calibur looked different. His armor was more for a woman than a man. All four of them slashed their swords down and struck the two. The damage was enough to transformed them back to Flash and Twilight as they fell to the ground. Surge, Rarity, Fluttershy, Whirlwind, and Quake were shocked to see Calibur here and with Shade and Umbra before they went back in the dark door before it closed. Flash and Twilight were conscious enough to see them before they lost consciousness. "Calibur...?" Twilight said before she lost consciousness. In Tassel's house, he is nowhere to be found and his door is open. To day left the team a big question, who is this new Calibur? The Story Continue > Volume 1, Chapter 25: Clad in Smoke, the Crimson Assassin. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to Tassel's house where we see him in his chair with his umbrella out. "Hello everyone, Bonne Lecture..." He saids to you. "Wait, now's not the time for that!" He shouted as he got up and closer to the fouth wall. "A brand new Calibur has appeared. Not only that, but the paladins of shadows: Shade and Umbra has returned. A book flew out and opened itself to show us Sombra from 12 years ago with Tirek and Chrysalis. "Sombra, Tirek, and Chrysalis turned traitor in search of power..." Tassel explained before we see Night Light took on the mantel of Calibur. "...while Night Light defeated Arabia and his own wife in his search for power to unravel a hidden truth." "So, what will this new Calibur up to?" Tassel asked as a book flew out and opened itself to the next chapter of this story. We see both Saber and Ember in their Berserk Forms with the city in ruin. On the ground infront of them are their friends, the other riders, and the kids dead. The only one bearly standing is Spike who is bleeding from the arm. The two roared as they held their heads as if the lost their insanity completely as they creeped to the bleeding Spike. "Twilight... Flash..." Spike said while he breath heavily. "How could you..." "Stop this... Stop...!" When they creeped to Spike two other people were telling them to stop. The two voices are Flash's and Twilight's telling themselves to stop. "Don't-" They both shouted to themselves but they kept going. Their rider forms then raised before they charged at Spike before they brought their swords down on him. "WE SAID STOP!!" They shouted as their swords came down before they heard a familiar voice, Star's voice. "Twilight. Flash..." Star said. Both Flash and Twilight woke up in Fantastic Books with Twilight's pop-up book opened to a page with a dragon popped up with their hands on it as it glowed. "Was that a dream...?" Flash asked Twilight. "It felt like a nightmare." Twilight said before they realize that they had the same nightmare. "Twilight. Flash..." When the two looked at the pop-up book, they saw Star with her hand on it as well. "Please help her." She told them as she looked at the Primitive Dragon books. "Star?!" Twilight shouted as she Flash woke up from a vision. Twilight looked around the room for her long lost friend but she wasn't there. "That was the voice of the girl that connects our worlds..." Tassel said as he hold the book while he looked out the window. At the Southern Base, Master Logos is sitting alone as he can sense Star. "She still lives." He said to himself. Back at Fantastic Books, both Flash and Twilight remembers what Star told them to do. Something about to help "HER" and Twilight looked at her lost friend's book. "I will save you." Twilight said as she looked at the book. "We'll save her." Flash told her. "But if this keeps up..." They thought about their nightmare and how they were going to kill Spike. They both knew they have to overcome the Primitive Dragon book if they don't want that to happen. So Twilight sat down and continue to read the book she found the other day to find a way to do it. "Enough controlling us!" Twilight shouted at the books. At the Southern Base, the Storm Eagle, Saiyuu Journey, Lamp do Alangina, Needle Hedgehog, Tri Cerberus, King of Arthur, and Jack-to-Domamenoki books are on a table. Surge and Wind are in the throne room, kneeling infront of Master Logos and Mist, along with large number of people. "Not only did they fail to stop the rampaging Saber and Ember, but now a new Calibur has emerged with a Shade and Umbra." Mist told the people in the throne room. "Retribution will be necessary." "Master Logos..." Surge spoke up as he raised his head. "Is it true that an enemy lies among us...?" Wind looked at him and surprised he asked that question and the people in the room were talking amongst themselves. "Silence, at once!" Mist shouted before Logos raised his hand and the room fell silent. He then gesture to the Surge to continue. "I still believe that is not true." Surge said. "However, Beat and Terra have left our ranks... What's happening to our-" "Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle are the cause." Mist interrupted him. "You need but cut them down." "But...!" Surge protest. "Fulfill your duty. Blades." Logos told him. Surge knew that he had to obey but he doesn't want to kill his friends and Wind can see it all over his face. Wind thought about what Terra told her, about to make her own choice but she doesn't know what to chose while Surge is at war with himself. Soon everyone but Mist and Logos left the throne room, leaving the two to talk alone. "Everything is now in place..." Mist said to Logos. "...including Sophia, as well as our "traitor"." "You are the only one I can depend on, Sabela." Logos told Mist and she smiled when he called her "Sabela", for that is her rider name. "Leave everything to me." Mist said before she turned to leave. "Before you go, I have someone for you to make your paladin." Logos told her and she turned to face him. He snapped his fingers and someone came out from a Book Gate, a teenage girl with dark purple hair with light blue strikes in it, her skin is like Twilight's, her eyes are blue, and her robe has a star covered in glitter. "When you are ready, make her your paladin." Mist nodded yes before she and this girl left the room. When they were gone, Logos looked up and think to himself. At Fantastic Books, Beat, Terra, and Light came through the door and Light told them what happened the other day. "Calibur, Shade, and Umbra appeared?!" Terra asked. "The smoke user stole the Sword of Shadows right? Must be a Logos member." Beat theorize. Light stop and was thinking about something. "Definitely not on our side, whatever it is." Terra said as he and Beat was heading to the Book Gate. "The Sword of Shadows..." Light said before she turned around and went for the door. As Beat open the Book Gate, Terra noticed Light leaving. "What's wrong?" Terra asked her before she left. "Gonna go meet an old friend." Light answered. "Huh, an old friend?" Terra asked as Light open the door and left. "Preventing Primitive Dragon from rampaging is our priority." Beat reminded Terra. "Agreed." Terra said as Beat open the Book Gate and the two went to the Northern Base. At the Northern Base, Flash, the girls, the kids, their principles, Shining Armor, Cadence, Soarin, Spitfire, and Lightning Dust were there and Twilight is at the top of the stairs and continue to read the book while she held her Primitive Dragon book. Flash sits beside her and reads a book as well while Stone was drawing in a coloring book. When he was done, he gets up and went downstairs to Pinkie Pie was sitting near the bottom and went passed her. Fluttershy looks at her to friends at the top of the stairs while she is at the ground floor as she thought about how they acted when the Primitive Dragon book took hold of them. She saw how the two boney dragon claws shot out from the books and attack both Surge and Rarity before they took their books. "So not only is Calibur back, but both Shade and Umbra are back too?!" Shining Armor asked. "Yeah, we saw it from here when Flash and Twilight lost control and they were about to attack Fluttershy." Spike answered. Sunset was looking at her journal and was reading the message Princess Twilight sent her. "Hey Flash, Twilight..." Fluttershy said as she looked up at the top of the stairs. "What is it, Sunset?" Twilight asked while she keeps reading the book. Fluttershy wanted to ask them say something but she didn't know how to ask. "Nevermind, don't worry about it." Fluttershy said with a fake smile. Twilight return to what she was reading and Stone moved to the table on the ground floor. And on the table are the three Wonder Ride Books from Surge, and Fluttershy had her attention to those three books. While Shining was talking with the others, Cadence was looking at the key Sophia gave her and wonder what's it for Back at the Southern Base, Mist is in the hidden room where Sophia is trapped in. "Where have you hidden that book you created?" She asked Sophia. "How is everyone?" Sophia asked Mist and ignored Mist's question. Mist then gave her a slap to the face for not answering her question. "How unfortunate." Mist said. Sophia looked at Mist and have concerned for her riders and what they'll do to them. Later, Mist left the Sophia in that room and removed the black robe and puts on the red one with the bird made of mist is light grey on the back. The girl Master Logos introduce to her kneel down and Mist used her Sacred Sword to tap the girl's sholders and a crimson red Wonder Ride Book appeared in the Paladin Driver the girl is wearing. The girl stood up and the two went out. Back at the Northern Base, Twilight is getting frustrated with getting no answer. "Nothing." She said as she put the book away. Both she and Flash got up and walked down the stairs to join the others. "I've gone through a ton, but no clues have come up." Beat picked up the two Primitive Dragon books and looked at them. "Primitive Dragon stole Surge's Wonder Ride Books..." Beat said. Both Flash and Twilight stopped halfway and was surprised to hear that part. "Sure looked like it!" Terra said as he bumped while he carried a bunch of books. Beat grunted in pain by that bumped. "Maybe these things are looking for books?" He asked as he sat the books on the table. "Ring any bells?" He asked both Flash and Twilight. "Well, we may not know why those things took Surge's books. But Princess Twilight did found something in the Dragon Lands." Sunset said. "They found a stone mural that looks like it dates back more than a thousands of years. Maybe even before our world and Equestria was rift apart. She said it may take a while to translate all of it to figure out what it all says." Flash and Twilight walked down and over to the table. But then they remember the young white dragon with a sad look on her face and it was even crying. "Now that you mention..." Flash said. "It's kinda sad." Stone said as he was coloring. Everyone looked at him and is a bit confused by what he said. "What are you drawing?" Twilight asked Stone. "A really sad dragon." Stone answered as Beat picked up one of his drawings and looked at it. The one he is coloring in is a white dragon, curled up, crying, and shrouded by a dark aura. "Even when dead she's still looking for her friends, even though they're long gone." "Is that supposed to be the dragon from this story?" Flash asked as he points to the Primitive Dragon books. "Yeah!" Stone answered. "That's amazing Stone!" Terra shouted with impression in his voice. "You can read it?!" "Don't you feel sorry for it?" Stone asked his father and the others. "Is there any way we can help her?" "So I'm not the only one? That's good." Spike said. "When ever I'm around those books, I just have this feeling inside me that just feels sorry for it. And for some reason, it just feels like it's a girl dragon who's in pain." "You can't change how a book ends." Beat told the two boys. "Stone says its doable, so its doable." Terra told Beat while both Flash and Twilight thought about what both Stone and Spike said. "Can't do." Beat said. "Can do. Stone will becide how this ends!" Terra argued. "Where'd Surge's Wonder Ride Books go?" Flash asked as he saw that they were gone. "More importantly, where's Fluttershy?" Rainbow asked as she noticed that Fluttershy is missing. "She must've taken them while we weren't looking..." Beat said before Twilight, Flash, and the rest of the group ran out to find her. "Wait!" Beat try to go after them, but Terra pulled him back. "Let them go." Terra told her. "When it comes to close friends, sometimes you just gotta go for it." In the city, the group split up to search for Fluttershy. Twilight, Sprit, Spike, Smolder, and Flash went down a street while somewhere else, Surge was sitting alone on some steps when his Gatrike Phone went off and the one is calling him is Fluttershy. Surge stood up and start to walk away but still wouldn't answer his phone. "Please don't ignore me, Surge." Fluttershy said. When Surge turned around, he saw Fluttershy standing there with her phone out. "Please..." She put her phone away when he saw her. "I've been looking everywhere for you." She then walked over to him and holds out his three books that were taken from him. "Here." Surge didn't take them back though, so Fluttershy took his hand and place them in it. Meanwhile back at the Northern Base, Terra just thought of something. "Beat..." He said. "How about we just obliterate books if they're going to rampage anyway?" "Are you stupid?" Beat asked him. "But if we could seal them..." Just then, the Book Gate glowed and both the girl and Mist came through. "It's simple." Mist said as she and the girl walked in. "We need but slay both Flash and Twilight, along with the rest of you." Beat had her hand on her sword when Mist threaten them. "Coming here with just a girl by your side?" Terra asked as he hides the two Primitive Dragon books in his bag. "Underestimating us a bit much no? And who is this girl?" "The name is Starlight Glimmer, and this is an easy assumption based on difference in strength." Starlight said. Mist then put up her hands and summon her Sacred Sword with a puff of smoke. Eneiken Noroshi "The Sword of Smoke..." Beat said when she saw the sword. "You were the one?!" Terra asked. "Perfect. I've got a mountain of questions for you." "And I have none for you." Mist told him as she pulled out a crimson red Wonder Ride Book with a big butterfly on the cover. "We are simply here to pass judgement." She then took her book a blow a small wind to open the cover to reveal the story within just as Starlight took out her Wonder Ride Book and open it up as well. Insect Encyclopedia An illusionary passage depicting a swarm of misfortune, dancing in the wind. Wonder Paladin Mist and Starlight closed their books before Mist place her book in her sword while Starlight place her book in her driver just as giant version of the two books floated down behind them. "Henshin." They both said as Mist pulled the trigger on her sword and Starlight press the button on her driver and their books opened up for them to transform into their rider forms. Noroshi Kaisen Paladin, Stand! FLY! SMOG! STING! STEAM! ~INSECT ENCYCLOPEDIA! ~Wonder Paladin! The sword-point flutters forth! As Mist transformed into Kamen Rider Sabela, Starlight's rider form is similar to Sabela's, her armor is crimson red with golden smoke like strikes going up the arms and legs. Her chest plate is crimson red with gold on the sides and has Sabela's emblem in gold in the center. Starlight's sword has crimson blade with a golden handle and guard, and the stone in the guard is a mix of both crimson red and gold. Both Terra and Beat transformed into Kamen Rider Buster and Slash before they ready their swords. The two riders charged at both Sabela and Starlight but as they were about to strike, the two turned into smoke and attack the two while they are in the smoke. When the smoke clear, both Sabela and Starlight emerge from it while both Buster and Slash were damaged before Sabela and Starlight turned and slashed them. "Kneel before us." Sabela told them as she pointed her sword at them. Then both her and Starlight charged at the two and continue to fight. Meanwhile in the city on a rooftop, Surge was on top of that rooftop with Fluttershy so they can talk. "You brought them without asking." Surge said to Fluttershy. "Your friends will be angry. Mostly Flash and Twilight." "You know very well they aren't like that." Fluttershy said. Surge just looked down after she told him that. "You three really want to protect the world..." She said as she sat down. "So why's it so hard for you three to get along?" "Flash and Twilight are both too dangerous right now." Surge told her. "I know that." Fluttershy said. "If this keeps up, I will have to cut them down to protect my friends and the world!" Surge said and he sounded like he's upset. And little did they know that Flash, Twilight, Sprit, Spike, and Smolder found and listening on them. "I don't want to lose any more friends...!" "Isn't Flash and Twilight your friends too?" Fluttershy asked him. "Regardless, I'm a Logos swordsman first and foremost!" Surge respond. Surge then paced around as he is still at war with himself. Fluttershy can see that he doesn't want to kill Flash or Twilight, but he also doesn't want to disobey the Sword of Logos either. "Fluttershy... What should I do...?" There was a bit of silence for Fluttershy doesn't have the answer. Flash, Twilight, Sprit, Spike, and Smolder heard everything Surge said and they could not help but feel bad for Surge for what he is going through. Back at the Northern Base, the fight between Buster and Slash against Sabela and Starlight is not going well for Buster and Slash. Sabela took on Slash, while Starlight took on Buster. Starlight dodged Buster's attack while Slash and Sabela clashed blades. The two proven to be highly skilled as they are able to overpower both Buster and Slash. Both Sabela and Starlight struck Slash before they slashed Buster a few times then strike Slash again. After Slash rolled on the ground, both Sabela and Starlight charged at them and Buster thrust his sword at them. But they dodged his attack and knocked away Slash's when she try to strike Sabela. After they ducked under one of Buster's attack they both jumped and kicked both Buster and Slash back pretty hard. Buster swung his sword at the two before they did the splits to dodge his sword. They then jumped and thrust their swords as like a drill and struck Buster. They then flipped and struck Slash when she try to charge at them and she fell to the ground. "My, aren't you both tough?" Buster asked before he clashed blades with the two. "I'ma drown you both out with my ultimate sound!" Slash shouted as she got up and switch to her sword to gun mode and use her Bremen no Rock Band book. "Fire!!" She shot a powerful blast at Sabela and Starlight, but only for their bodies to become smoke and the two blasts went through them and hit Buster. "WHAT?!" "It's no use." Sabela told Slash. So Slash continue to fire at the two, only to have the blasts literally go right through them. "Fire!! Fi-" Slash shouted as the two walk to her before they struck with their swords. "What is the organisation trying to achieve here?!" Buster asked as he got up from the ground. He then charged at them and try to strike them as they dodged his attacks. "Don't you find any of this strange?" "We do not." Both Sabela and Starlight said as their bodies burst into a big puff of smoke and dreams of smoke went everywhere. "You were as good traitors the moment you doubted our cause. That man's and girl's word is absolute." Sabela told the two before they reformed and slash them and Buster fell to the ground. "Are these really..." Buster said as he gets up. "...instructions from the Master?!" He raised his sword and charged at Sabela and Starlight. When he swiped his sword at them, their bodies turned to smoke and his sword went through them. The smoke flew around and attack Buster while they did. "Stubborn one, aren't you?" Starlight asked as Buster fell to the ground from those attacks. "Don't you have anything to say about all this?!" Buster asked as he struggled to get back up. "Silence, fool!" Sabela shouted at him just as Slash try to get her from behind, only for Sabela to strike her down. While on the ground, Sabela step on her back. "The Master's will and mine are one and the same. The one who will help fulfill his grand ambitions, is me!" She poked her sword on Slash's back, and that made her scream "ow". As she pressed down on her back and she yelped in pain, she pressed a button on her sword. Noroshi Vapoursect "Stop!" Buster shouted after he got up and swung his sword at Sabela and Starlight. Starlight duck and roll out of the way, while Sabela turned into smoke and went up high. When she reformed, she had butterfly wings on her back as she flew up high in the air. Illusionary Smokescreen Strike! While in the air, she sends multiple slash waves right at both Buster and Slash. From behind a door, Stone saw the hole fight and went to go get help. "I think, you already know the answer." Fluttershy told Surge. Just then, Flash, Twilight, Sprit, Spike, Smolder walked out and up to him. "Flash! Twilight! How long have you five been here?" "I presume you heard us." Surge said. "Please hand me Rekka and the Wonder Ride Books." He told Flash. "I can't." Flash refused. "I don't want to take your lifes, Flash!" Surge shouted. "When they were possessing me and Flash..." Twilight spoke up. "He and I saw a white dragon. She looked sad the whole-" "Does she have something to do with Primitive Dragon?" Surge asked and interrupted Twilight. Both Flash and Twilight looked at each other and unsure if it is. "We don't know..." Flash answer. ""I can't". "I don't know."" Surge repeated what Flash and Twilight had said before and sounding upset about it. "That's all you've both been giving me, and I've had enough! You're just oblivious to the danger you both pose since neither of you can't remember anything about your rampaging!" The hole time he is shouting, he stepped closer as Flash and Twilight stepped back. "Hey, lay off!" Spike, Sprit, and Smolder shouted. "It's not all their fault!" Spike pointed out. "Yeah, we don't." Flash said before he looked at Twilight and she has the same scared look on her face as Flash. "We're terrified of how much we could be hurting everyone without even knowing!" He shouted as he remembers the nightmare he and Twilight had. "But we can't just leave that little dragon! But we don't even know how to help! That's why we're lost!!" "Again, who IS that dragon?!" Surge shouted at the two. "And why are you both so obsessed with "her"?! Did you tell her you both would save her?" "We haven't..." Twilight shouted. "We haven't, but still!" Both she and Flash remembers what Stone asked. About if there's any way they can help her. They even remember what Star told them to do. She told them to help her before she looked at the two Primitive Dragon books. They even remember that Stone said that, "even when dead she's still looking for her friends." And that could be it. "That's it...! Star was talking about that dragon! Thank you, Surge! We do still want to save her!" "You both are crazy!" Surge shouted. "But that part of you is exactly what I like about you both." Fluttershy, Spike, Smolder, and Sprit had a face of confusion when he said that. "Well same here!" Flash shouted. "We only fought for this long cause we had you!" The four still had confusion on their faces as Flash went on. "Because that Surge who treasures and believes in his friends was with us!" "Well you're exactly the same!" Surge shouted. "Alright, break it uuuuup!!" Fluttershy shouted as she got between them. "Now please, take a seat." She, Spike, and Smolder pulled the three and sat them down. "Now then, you know you three basically started a love confession there." "Which was pretty weird and confusing for us." Sprit said. There was a bit of silence of the three. "Alright, so..." Surge broke the silence. "If you both manage to talk things through with that dragon, will Primitive Dragon cease to rampage?" He asked them. "We want to save her regardless." Twilight said. "The next time you both lose control I will have no choice but to cut you both down." Surge warn them. The silence returned after that before Flash and Twilight turned to look at Surge. "We'll leave it to you then." Twilight said. "Yup, you both are as crazy as always." Surge said as he turned away and smiled. "Flash! Twilight!" Stone shouted as he ran up to them. "Couple of ladies showed up at the Northern Base saying: "We're here to pass judgement"." Flash, Twilight, and Surge stood up and the group headed back to the Northern Base as Fluttershy got her phone to text the others what's happening. Back at the Northern Base, Slash was thrown from the second floor by both Sabela and Starlight. Slash fell next to Buster just as Sabela and Starlight jumped down just as everyone arrived to see the two new riders. "Stop!" Both Flash and Twilight shouted as they took out the Dragonic Knight and Dragonic Paladin books. "Don't!" Buster shouted to them. "You two can't transform!" "Blades, pass judgement upon these traitors." Sabela told Surge as she pointed her sword at Flash and Twilight. Surge however just stood there while Rarity hold his arm. "Fulfill your duty." "Looks like he just doesn't want to." Starlight said. "Such a shame too." Sabela then press the button on her sword just as Buster and Slash stood up. Super Noroshi Vapoursect Smoke appeared behind Sabela as something shot out and trapped both Buster and Slash in what looked to be a web. Spider legs grew out from behind Sabela as the two try to get free. Single Billowing Insect Dance Flash! The legs then attack them and the two transformed out of their rider forms as they fell to the ground. Starlight then picked up Beat's Wounder Ride Book when they fell. "You're next." She said to Terra as she walked to him. "THAT'S ENOUGH!" Both Flash and Twilight shouted as they stood infront of Terra to protect him. "You need to get out of here...!" Terra told them. The two didn't move as they stare at the two riders that hurt their friends. They then looked at Surge and the rest of their friends. "Henshin!!" They both shouted as they placed their books in their drivers. "Primitive Dragon was sealed precisely because no one could control it." Tassel told Light. Light had to go to Tassel for some help. "I still believe in Flash and Twilight regardless." Light said as she walked over to the window. "What the new Calibur's up to is what's bothering me right now. Now that this Calibur is with a Shade and Umbra." "That's for you to figure out." Tassel told her before he turned and face you. "I have an appointment with someone!" He walked off and vanished. We are then back to where were before, with Flash and Twilight looking at Surge. "Henshin!!" They both shouted as they placed their books in their drivers. But before they could transform, the two Primitive Dragon books flew out just as Sabela and Starlight charged at them. Just as Flash draw out his sword and Twilight pressed the button on her driver, the two Primitive Dragon books knocked the Dragonic Knight and Dragonic Paladin books out and took their place. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! ~PRIMITIVE...DRAGON! The two then slashed both Sabela and Starlight back when they got close. Shining caught Twilight's Dragonic Paladin book as he, Cadence, Celestia, and Luna saw both Saber's and Ember's Berserk Forms as the two roared. The girls stood infront of them just to keep them safe now that Saber and Ember are like this. Rarity saw Surge struggle with himself as he saw both Saber and Ember in these forms, like there's something he doesn't want to do. Both Saber and Ember roared as dark aura cover them. Terra quickly got up and move out of the way when they try to attack him. "Not good!" Beat shouted as Terra rolled out of way. Saber then pind him to the wall as Ember went after Beat who was trying to get some distance from her. "I told you so!" Terra shouted as he used his sword to keep Saber back to try not to get hurt. "Now you've made things harder!" He then knocked Saber to the ground as Beat kicked her down the stairs. They both got up and Surge watch as they creeped towards Terra. "Flash! Twilight, stop!" Surge's hand was shaking as he raise his Wonder Ride Book but struggle to place it in his driver. He thought back to when Flash told him how scared of how much they could be hurting everyone without even knowing. But he said that he will have no choice but to cut them down and they told him that they'll leave it to him. Saber and Ember nearly hit Terra and Beat but they barely dodged them. Rarity and the others can see Surge struggle with his book as Terra use his sword to block Saber's attack but his book went flying out when he did. Saber was about to get it when a bright light shine and Saikou appeared and blocked Saber from getting that book. "Light!" Everyone but Surge shouted when they saw her back. Surge looked and saw both Saber and Ember coming at him, but as they came to them a small spot of shadow being to form before it got bigger and Calibur, Shade, and Umbra appeared to block the two. Shining could not believe his eyes as he gripped Twilight's Dragonic Paladin book. "Shining?" Cadence asked when she saw him place his driver on and open the book. Dragonic Paladin "Henshin!" Shining shouted as he pressed the button on her driver and he transformed into Kamen Rider Drake, Dragonic Paladin form. Paladin Stand! Saber and Ember knocked the three back before they try to attack them but they jumped out of the way. Drake then try to strike Umbra only for the two to clashed blades before Umbra kicked him back. Saber clashed blades with Calibur while Ember try to clawed Shade as she pounced on him and he is holding her back at best he could. The three fire riders pushed the three shadow riders back. Shade and Umbra place their swords in their holders on their belts and press the button on the handles, while Calibur used the sword to push the button on the driver. All the while, Saber and Ember pushed the claws back while Drake place his sword in the holder on his belt and press the button before he and Saber drew out their swords and Ember pressed the button on her driver for a finisher. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! Finishing Slash! Saber and Ember send the dragon claws at the three while Drake send multiple slash waves. Calibur, Shade, and Umbra blocked the attacks while their swords are covered in darkness. Single Flash of Knowledge! The darkness flow on to the claws as Umbra send a slash wave right at Drake just as she send one last slasg at her. The darkness soon reached Saber and Ember as some happened inside their minds. Both Flash and Twilight were in some kind of forest with the trees all dead and it looked like it is raining. Behind them, walking to them is the same young white dragon. They both turned and saw her standing there. "Who are you?" Flash asked the dragon. The dragon didn't answer him as it looked down. "Why do you always look so sad?" Twilight asked her, but still no answer. All the dragon did was raised her head and hold out her claws to them. While this was happening inside their minds, Saber and Ember cried out as they damage both Calibur and Shade while Drake's and Umbra's hit each other and all three of them transformed out of their rider forms and fell to the ground. When Flash, Twilight, and Shining looked up, they saw that Shade had transformed back to Trek and Umbra transformed back to Chrysalis. But when they look at Calibur, it was someone that know very well. Only she wears a purple and black dress with Calibur's symbol on the back and her hair had a black line with the purple and white. This person brought a shocked looked on everyone but Cozy Glow and the six other kids. It is the mother of Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor, Twilight Velvet. "Mom...?" Both Twilight and Shining Armor asked when they saw her. This has left them with a most questionable question: how is Twilight Velvet alive? The Story Continue > Volume 1, Chapter 26: Deep Darkness, With a Sword in Hand. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We pick up where we were in the last chapter. Saber and Ember send the dragon claws at both Calibur and Shade while Drake send multiple slash waves at Umbra. CRUSHING FINISHING SLASH! The claws grabbed Calibur's and Shade's swords that are covered in darkness. The darkness travel up the claws to the two, while Umbra send a slash wave right Drake just as he send one last at her. Single Flash of Knowledge! Their attacks hit each other and the damaged each of them took was enough to transformed them out of there rider forms and kneel on the ground. The girls, Spike, Cozy Glow, the young six, the principles and the riders saw that Shade and Umbra transformed back to Tirek and Chrysalis, but the one that is Calibur is what really what shocked them all. It is someone who thought to be gone, the mother of Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor: Twilight Velvet. "Mom...?" Both Twilight and Shining said when they saw her. "But how...?" Spike asked as he had a tear run down his cheek. "You survived?" Terra asked Velvet. Beat was speechless, as is Celestia, Luna, and the girls. "It can't be..." Surge said with disbelief. "Velvet?" Cadence said. "But how...?" That is the question that thay all are asking. "Uh, does any one what to explain who she is?" Gallus asked. Twilight looked at her mother with a smile and tears of joy as she struggled to keep her balance. "I've come back to save the world from absolute destruction." Velvet said as she stood up and made everyone but Tirek and Chrysalis confused. "To do that, me and my paladins will seal away every last Scared Sword." She said with a dark tone. "Mom...?" Twilight said as like her mother is a totally different person. "We will not allow it!" Sabela said as she stood up and try to strike Velvet, but she easley dodge her by stepping back. "What?" She then turned into smoke and try to attack Velvet. But Saikou moved infront of it and blocked it. "We're not done talking yet." Saikou told Sabela when she reformed. "The power of light are certainly a nuisance." Steam said in annoyance before a big puff of smoke covered both her and Sabela and they both went over to Surge. He got one last look at Flash and Twilight before the smoke took him away. "Flash." Velvet said as she looked at him. "Your sword must be sealed as well. I'm the only one who can save this world... Come Tirek and Chrysalis, we're leaving." She then vanished into thin air. "If we were all of you, we would watch your backs." Tirek said before he vanished. "Enjoy playing with those swords, while you still can." Chrysalis said in a mischievous tone before she vanished. Then Flash and Twilight lost their balance and fell on the floor. Everyone in the room is speechless and couldn't understand why Velvet just said she would seal away every last Scared Sword. What happened to Velvet that would cause her to want to do something like that and why? "Mom..." Twilight said weakly from the ground. But this made wonder if her mom is alive, is Arabia alive too? After the riders recovered, Beat was checking the base's security to see if there's any way to do something to keep the base safe. "We'll need to up our surveillance since Sophia isn't here." Beat said. "And Ruby Mist was our Swordswoman of Smoke." Terra said. "What's going on here?" "She said she and Starlight was acting on Master Logos' orders." Beat said. "It's all so shady..." Shining said. "And we almost had Tirek and Chrysalis! They could have got some answers from them!" "Is that why you attack one of them before?" Cadence asked. "Shouldn't we be discussing Velvet first?" Pinkie asked. "Pinkie is right." Sunset said. "Why's she become Calibur? And most importantly, HOW is she still alive?" "Yes, we all saw her and Arabia be consumed by the darkness." Rarity pointed out. "It's true that those cut down by the Sword of Shadows either die or fall into a deep darkness." Beat said. "She must have returned from the darkness." "But if that's true, does that mean that Arabia is also alive?" Rainbow asked. While they are talking about it, Flash is comforting Twilight on the stairs as she is thinking about it. "Are you going to be okay, Twi?" Flash asked her. "I'm so glad she's still alive..." Twilight said but sounding unsure of what to feel. "You know she was talking about sealing our swords right?" Terra asked her. Twilight however didn't respond to them as she remembers how her mother was proud of her and her brother. She even remember Arabia saying that she would've liked to continue to fight alongside them. They both then said for them to promise to protect this world that we all live in. "Sure, we don't know why she's doing this..." Flash said. "But I'm sure we can fight together again." "And maybe if mom is alive, Arabia is also alive." Twilight said with a bit of hope in her tone. Everyone in the room thought about it before Terra spoke up. "Agreed." He said. It was just then that Twilight noticed Spike and the CMCs was gone. "Hey, where's Spike and the girls?" Twilight asked. "Oh yeah, he said that he, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo was going somewhere to practice their sword skills or something." Smolder answered. "He said that he just felt like he needs to." Somewhere in the city on a rooftop. Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis regroup there after they escaped the Northern Base. "I don't understand!" Tirek complained. "Why didn't we seal their swords when we had the chance!?" "It's called being patient for the right moment." Chrysalis told him. "We wait for the right moment to seal one of their swords at a time." While the two were arguing over when and where they should've seal one of their swords, Velvet is lost in her thoughts and thought back to when she and Arabia was in the darkness. While she was in there, she saw her kids and the others on the ground dead. She then saw both worlds in eradicate from existence. While in the darkness, Velvet saw a light surrounding Arabia as she try to reach for her. But it was too late, Arabia vanished in that light while she was in some world, holding the Sword of Shadows as she claims a huge sand dune. And as she did, she saw the other Sacred Swords in what looked to be a tree made of sliver. In that world she was in, the city began to evaporate into nothing. As she continued to walk in that world, she took on the mantel of Calibur and stabbed the ground with the sword. A big burst of darkness shot out from the ground and went everywhere, soon it hit a giant book in the sky and destroyed it and the two worlds began to be restored. "I alone am enough..." Velvet said to herself. Somewhere in a forest. Spike and the CMCs had their squares out and they practice slashing, dodging, and even hand to hand combat. They want to get stronger for they want to keep their families and friends safe from the dangers. The CMCs were training with one another while Spike did it alone. The Young Six and Cozy came to see how they are doing, till Smolder saw that Spike was getting tired. So she went over to him and brought him a bottle of water. "Here, you need this." Smolder told him as she hands him the water. "Thanks Smolder." Spike said as he took a sip of his water. "I need to get stronger if I want to help Twilight and the others. After all that has happened, I don't want to lose anyone anymore." "Hey, when you found me when I was a dog, it was the best thing that has ever happened to me." Smolder told him. "I can tell that you wanted to be strong and not let what happened to you get to you. And you're not alone in all of this, have me, your family, and the rest of the riders. What ever comes our way, we'll get through this together." She then pulled him to hug before a light cover them and when it died down they were back to being dogs. They were confused as to why before they wanted to be humans again and the same thing happen again and they were back to be human. Something tells them that they need to practice this before they could tell the others. Meanwhile in the Southern Base, Mist burst through the door to the meeting room with Starlight and Surge, with Wind running behind them. "Hey, is it ture that Twilight Velvet's alive-" Wind asked before Mist turned to face her. "Silence!" She shouted at Wind before she turned and walked off. "Just because Velvet is alive, does not mean Arabia Night is too. Velvet and the two paladins of darkness are our enemy." She and Starlight went off and what Mist told left Wind with a loss of hope that Arabia could be alive. She saw Surge walked pass her and didn't say a word. But even what Mist told her, she knows who to ask IF Arabia is alive. Meanwhile in the throne room, Master Logos is sitting alone with someone. "So you finally show yourself..." He said to the one in the room with him, Tassel himself. "Viktor." "I'd prefer if you called me "Tassel" now though..." Tassel told Logos. Back at the Northern Base, both Flash and Twilight was holding and looked at their Primitive Dragon books as they sit on the stairs. Terra walked up to them as they continue look at those books. "You both figure something out about these two?" He asked them as he pointed at the two books. "See..." Flash spoke. "Whenever we lose consciousness we see this white dragon." Told him as he and Twilight remembers what they saw before everytime the Primitive Dragon takes hold of them. "And she always looks incredibly sad." Twilight said as they both remembers how sad the dragon looked. "So, will something happen if we help this dragon?" Terra asked. "We don't know." Twilight said. "We don't know how to help either. But we should still try and talk to her." "Oi, oi, you better not be planning something crazy." Terra said. "By the way-" Fluttershy was about to asked something before Beat interrupted. "Y-yes?" She asked and let Fluttershy continue. "Can Sacred Swords even be sealed?" She asked what the rest of the girls wonder too. "Dunno." Beat answered. "The Sword of Shadows can." Light told them. "Really, why?" Rainbow asked. "The Sword of Shadows was one of the first to be created, wasn't it?" Flash asked Light. "This will take a while." Light said and everyone wanted to know what that means. We then see the place around became a page of a book as Light tells them a story. "In a time long past, a woman connected the three worlds..." We see Wonder World with ponies, humans, and all kinds of mythical creatures. We then see a woman standing on the edge of a cliff with her arms out before five people and ponies appeared behind her. "...allowing five humans and one pony to cross over into Wonder World. One of the humans would come to form Sword of Logos." The human in a red robe shine. "Another remained behind to be Wonder World's protector." We are then back at the Southern Base and sees Tassel. Tassel can feel attention in the air as Master Logos gave a grin. We return back to Northern Base and Applejack wonder something. "So there were five humans and one pony... That leaves us with three more humans and five ponies." Applejack said. "Those three humans and the one pony were allured by power and absorbed a portion of the Omniscient Tome's power." Light continue. "One of those ponies became absorbed enough of it to gain the magic of the earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi." "Wait, isn't that-" Terra realized something. "And isn't that one pony-" Sunset was about to ask. "Correct." Light answered the two before they finish. "The tree humans became the Megido. That's were our long conflict with them began. While that one pony became the first alicorn, Faust and protected her kind." At the Megido lar, Legeiel and the other two as he was in pain as a book floated out of his chest. Legeiel caught the book once it was out. The book's light die down and it has Legeiel's symbol and name on the cover. Storious walked over and took the book. "Just you wait, Swordsman of Fire and Paladin Ember...!" Legeiel shouted as he is filled with even more rage. Everyone was both shocked and surprised to hear that the three Megid leaders were once human. Pinkie soon popped up from the ground and walked over to Light. "And so? Where's the Sword of Shadows come in?" She asked. "It was a special sword created in Wonder World during that conflict." Light told them. "It was entrusted with a strong wish." "A wish?" Rarity asked when she heard that last part. "If the Sword of Light ever came to be misued, it had the power to seal it." Light told them. "Hence, why the Sword of Shadows can seal other Sacred Swords." "Mom..." Shining said as he and the others are planning she is going to do something like that. "She was being serious." Each of them didn't know what to do if Velvet does seal their swords, for they need them to protect the world and defeat the Megido. "Maybe someone's trying to misuse the swords, so she's trying to seal them first!" Twilight assumed. "If so, all we need to do is work together without having to seal them!" "Uh I don't think your mom is in the mood to talk if we find her, Surgecube." Applejack said. "And it's not necessarily." Light said and Twilight looked at her and saw that she had a sad look on her face. At the Southern Base, Tassel is having a talk with Logos. "This world was entrusted to you, while Wonder World was my responsibility..." He told Logos. "To help maintain balance between the worlds. That was the pledge I made with the first Master Logos." "The mere self-satisfaction of hypocrites..." Logos said. "Something I did not pledge to." "What are you after?" Tassel asked Logos. "I will obtain the Omniscient Tome..." Logos told Tassel as he got up from his throne and remove his hood. "...and claim its power for myself. I will reforge this dreadful world and Equestria anew...And become its ruler." "Neither humanity's or Equestria's fate is not yours to toy with." Tassel told Logos. "Of course it is!" Logos shouted as he found it funny. "That right is mine. So I will exploit all I have. The swordsmen. The paladins. The Megido... And now you." As he turned to face Tassel, his face is the same as the guy who brought Flash and Twilight to where Storious stole the Forbidden Tome. That man was and still is, Master Logos. He holds up a book as he faces Tassel and it shot a red beam at him. When Tassel got shot, he began to fade away. When he was gone, Logos turned and walked back to his throne. At Fantastic Books, Flash, Soarin, Shining Armor and the girls were gathering their things just when Terra and Beat came through the Book Gate. "Oi, have any of you seen our Swordswoman of Light?" He asked them. "Sorry, Light left a while ago." Sunset told him. "Where are you going?" Beat asked. "To look for mom." Twilight answer her. "If she's alive, then Arabia might be alive too. On top of our promise to find Star, I need to ask what's going on." "Not only that, but both Tirek and Chrysalis could know who the true traitor is." Shining said as and the others headed for the door. "Alright!" Terra shouted to them for them to stop before thet left. "I'm coming too." After he said that, they all went out to find Velvet. Meanwhile in what looked to be a tunnel, Chrysalis was wrapping a bandage on Velvet's waste. "You sure that she is here?" She asked her. "Trust me, she is." Velvet said. She had a vision of them and Light in their rider forms and fighting. As soon as Chrysalis was done the three walked out before Velvet spoke up. "You're here..." She, Chrysalis, and Tirek turned to see Light walked up to them. "Swordswoman of Light." "You say that like you've been waiting." Light said. "Because we knew you'd come." Velvet told Light. "So you have seen something." Light assumed. "That's why we must seal the swords." Velvet said. "I am the sword that guards this world." Light told them. "I have a duty is to set the Sword of Logos straight and return the world to how it should be. I can't afford to be sealed." "Then our goals are at odds." Tirek said as he, Velvet, and Chrysalis took out their Wounder Ride Books and opened them up. Jaaku Dragon Wonder Paladin They then place their books in their drivers and Velvet ready her sword. ~Jaaku Dragon ~Wonder Paladin They press the button on their drivers and their books opened up for them to transform into Kamen Rider Calibur, Shade, and Umbra. "So we stand opposite." Light said as she took out her Wonder Ride Books. X-Swordswoman She then placed it in her Saikou Driver and press the button with her sword to transform into Kamen Rider Saikou. Release the Radiance! ~X-Swordswoman! Episode One Saikou charged and swung her sword at Calibur, only for Calibur to dodge the attack and clashed blades with her. Then both Shade and Umbra clashed blades with Saikou when Calibur ducked under one of her attacks. Saikou dodge each of their attacks before she clashed blades with Calibur. Little did the four of them know that both Mist and Starlight is there and they opened up their Wounder Ride Books. Konchuu Daihyakka Wonder Paladin Mist then place the book in her sword as Starlight place her book in her driver. "Henshin." They both said as Mist pulled the trigger on her sword and Starlight press the button on her driver and they both transformed into Kamen Rider Sabela and Steam. Paladin Stand! FLY! SMOG! STING! STRAM! ~Konchu-chu Daihyakka! ~Wonder Paladin! As Saikou pushed both Calibur and Umbra back, both Sabela and Steam charged at them and try attack them. But they dodged their attacks and moved aside. "The Sacred Swords must not be sealed." Sabela told Calibur and her two paladins before she looked at Saikou. "We will be retrieving the Sword of Shadows." "Assuming you can beat me to it!" Saikou told them before she charged at them. The three of them then clashed blades before Steam took Saikou's arm and knocked her back. They try to slash her, but she ducked their attacks. Shade and Umbra charged and clashed blades with Sabela and Steam as Calibur clashed blades with Saikou. Sabela kicked Shade back as Steam pushed Umbra back as they lock blades. As Saikou and Calibur clashed blades with one another, Sabela and Steam jumped back and Sabela pushed the button on her sword that released smoke everywhere. Noroshi Vapoursect From within the smoke, Sabela and Steam got behind Saikou and raised their swords. "Insect Shot!" They both declared as they strike Saikou and her sword was sent flying and it landed not far but near Calibur. "We are prohibiting your light powers." Steam said. When they went for the sword, Saikou press the button on her driver and switch to Episode two. Get Moving Saikou ~Ultimate Arm Saikou went pass the others with her arm blade out and grabbed her sword. She then charged at the five riders. She clashed blades with both Shade and Umbra before she clashed blades with Calibur and Sabela and kicked Steam back. She try to strike Calibur, but she ducked her attack and cartwheel kick Saikou back. Shade and Umbra fought off Sabela and Steam while Saikou and Calibur fought. But Sable jumped over Shade and struck Calibur from the back. Calibur then clashed blades with Sabela before she jumped back from Saikou's attack. Saikou then thrust her blade arm at Sabela before she struck Calibur. Calibur stumbled before she clashed blades with Sabela and pushed her aside. As she got between both Saikou and Calibur just as they were about to strike her, she pressed the button on her sword three times and a burst of smoke covered her and she became a puff of smoke. Noroshi Vapoursect Illusionary Smokescreen Strike! Sabela reformed and started butterfly wings and came down on both Saikou and Calibur, just as the riders and the girls arrived. "Light?!" Sunset asked when they saw Saikou. "This is where you were?" Twilight and Shining Armor looked at Calibur who is their mother as she is fighting Saikou. "Looks like we get to have more fun!" Shade shouted as he and Umbra clashed blades with Steam. "Mom...!" Twilight said as she watched her mother fight Saikou. "Leave this to the rest of us." Beat told Twilight and Flash as she and Terra ready their swords and the girls and Shining puts on their drivers. "We've got a bone to pick with someone." Terra said as he. "The rest of us will help Light." Shining said as he and the girls place their Paladin Ride Books in their drivers. They then charged into battle as they transformed into their rider forms. Buster charged at Calibur, Slash went for Sabela, and while Drake, Whirlwind, Quake, Reverb, Shine, and Aqua took on Shade, Umbra, and Steam. "Velvet, stop this!" Buster shouted as he brought his sword down but she dodged it. Sabela step back as she clashed blades with Slash. Drake, Shine, and Reverb took on Shade while Whirlwind, Aqua, and Quake took on both Umbra and Steam. "You're in my way!" Sabela shouted as she fought Slash. Flash, Twilight, Sprit, Soarin, Spitfire, Lightning Dust, and Pinkie watch them fight, but Twilight watched her mother out of all of them. She watched Calibur swiped and knocked Buster back. She took out the Jaou Dragon book while both Shade and Umbra took out dark purple Wonder Ride Books that has a rider covered in shadows and the title saying "Jaou Paladin." They then place those books in their drivers before Calibur raised her sword and press the button on her driver with it and both Shade and Umbra press the button on theirs and their books opened up. Jaou Dragon! Jaou Paladin! Shade's and Umbra's Upgrade forms is similar to Calibur's, but they have two gold dragon heads with red eyes on their forearms and shoulders with a black dragon head on their helmets. The Calibur symbol on their book like chest plate is has a mix of gold, dark purple, and black. After they pushed back the others, they aim right at Sabela and Steam. Jaou Finishing Strike! They send black dragons to attack both Sabela and Steam. Just as they hit the wall the dragons turned into orbs of darkness and they began to feel pain while they were in them. "I must say, Night Light was selfish to leave us out what he was doing." Shade said as he enjoyed the new power. The three then slashed their swords and send a slash waves everywhere. Saikou moved infront of Flash, Twilight, Sprit, Soarin, Spitfire, Lightning Dust, and Pinkie Pie to protect them from the attack. Release the Radiance! "You good?" Saikou asked the them. "I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you..." Sprit prayed as she had her eyes closed when the attack came right at them. The others were out of their rider forms as they slowly got up from the ground after they were hit by the big attack. "These three have gotten stronger..." Terra said as looked at the three. Saikou was about to charge at them before Twilight grabbed her shoulder to stop her. "Trust me." Twilight told Saikou as she and Flash walked closer to Calibur. "Mom!" She called out to get Calibur's attention. But she still had her back to her own daughter as Twilight continue. "Arabia is alive too, right? We're going to find Star, right? Me and my friends promised that the four of us would always be together, remember?" Calibur then transformed back to Velvet before she turned to look at Twilight. "I haven't forgotten." Velvet told her daughter. "I know you promise Arabia, Sprit, and Star that. But, it doesn't mean a thing if the world is gone. And as for Arabia, even I don't know if she is." "What do you mean?" Flash asked. "Please explain things to us!" "I..." Velvet said but stop as if she didn't know how to explain it. "I saw the future." She finally told them. Everyone could not believe what Velvet just said. "Our future is set in stone." "That's impossible. It's not true..." Beat said. "Maybe being in the darkness make you hallucinate!" Rainbow shouted. "Yeah, you've just been seeing things in the darkness!" Terra shouted. "I believe in mom." Twilight said. "Twilight..." Sprit said after a bit of silence. "So please...Tell us what happens in the future." Twilight asked her mother. "Both worlds are doomed, no matter what we do." Velvet answered. "Our only saviour is the future where the swords are sealed." "Wait..." Flash spoke up. "I'm sure we can change that future together." Both him and Velvet said at the sometime. Both him and Twilight was shocked that Velvet knew what he was going to say. ""By finding the true enemy and defeating the Megido, we can save the world." That was you were going to say next, right?" Velvet asked. They didn't say anything for that is what Flash was about to say next. "I've seen this one too. I've seen countless futures! But...Not a single one had a glimmer of hope." She remembers a future where the riders losing a battle against Storious and the Megido, Equestrians trying to help but had all their magic taken by the Megido. And as they are on the ground, the Sacred Swords glowed and shot up to the sky with four other swords around a magic circle with the Wonder Ride Books in the center of it. The swords merged with the books to form the Omniscient Tome and opened up and the two worlds merged with Wonder World before they all began to fade from existence. As the riders, the main six, seven, and young stood up, they too began to fade. We then see Velvet in the darkness alone as she woke up, like it was all a bad dream. Velvet even saw a future where Arabia is alive and with the riders, along with Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis. Ready to fight Storious and the Megido. They fought them at their best and won as Storious fade away. But when they were defeated, their swords glowed and the same thing happen in her last vision. She then saw a futer with both Surge and Wind are back with them but Zooous is in the Northern Base as they charged at him and the same result happened. She even saw herself try to stop the riders from fighting the Megido, but with no luck. And Master Logos was there before the same results happened. No matter how many times she wakes up from those visions she keeps seeing the same ending with everything being erased from existence. It felt like she was losing her mind as she keeps seeing the riders and her kids either feeling or dying and the worlds fading from existence. She lay in the darkness as she is broken from seeing all those horrible futures. "You two are about to go berserk again shortly." Velvet told Twilight and Flash. "But don't worry...You'll undo your transformation before hurting anyone." "What...?" Flash asked as he can't believe it. "Saving the world means sealing the Sacred Swords." Velvet said. "It's the only way...to put an end to this story." She said as raised her sword and press the button on her driver and the book open up as she transformed back into Calibur. Jaou Dragon! Everyone looked down in disbelief over what Velvet just told them. They wondered if there really is no way to save anything. Terra looked at Calibur and her two paladins with a mad look as he and Rainbow, and Applejack stood up from the ground. "You don't get to decide that!" He shouted as he charged at Calibur and transformed back into Buster, Quake, and Whirlwind. The six clashed blades with one another. Twilight looked at her mother with this look of belief of one she just told. Flash saw this look on Twilight and felt the same way. "It can't be..." Twilight said as Slash, Reverb, Shine, Drake, and Aqua came in and helped Buster, Quake, and Whirlwind fight Calibur, Shade, and Umbra. Calibur clashed blades with Buster and Slash, Shade was pushed back by Quake, Reverb, and Aqua, and Umbra did her best to dodge Shine, Drake, and Whirlwind. Soon Saikou charged in and joined the fight as Calibur knocked Buster back before she clashed blades with Saikou. Each rider gave it their all as they fight, but Calibur and her two paladins proven to be stronger than them. "Why, mom...?" Twilight asked as Calibur kicked Slash into Reverb and Whirlwind. Shade then slash both Aqua and Drake just as Shine and Quake was struck by Umbra. Each of them weren't doing so well against the two Paladin of Shadows and Calibur as they took heavy blows. Calibur slashed Slash and she fell to the ground as she transformed back to Beat and her Wonder Ride Book fell out of her sword. Beat was knocked away from her sword as Calibur closed her book before she pressed the button on her driver and opened it up again. "This marks the first." Calibur said as she flipped her over and stabbed the Sword of Echoes. Jaou Finishing Strike! The symbol on the sword went black as the tip of the Sword of Shadows touched it and drak chains wrapped around it before they went into the sword. Just as Shade knocked Reverb back, she transformed back to Fluttershy as her Wonder Ride Book went black. This meant Calibur sealed the Sword of Echoes and both Beat and Fluttershy can no longer transformed into Slash and Reverb again. Everyone was shocked to see what they just saw. "Why...?" Twilight asked as Calibur turned her attention to the others. "The next will be you, Terra." Calibur said as she walked toward Buster. Neither Twilight or Drake could not believe that this is their mother who was so kind and loving. The one who took care of them for years. The one they lost along with Arabia a year ago. "You came back to us..." Twilight said with despair in her voice. She and Flash then put on their drivers and took out their Dragonic Knight and Dragonic Paladin books. Buster saw that Flash and Twilight took out their Wounder Ride Books and was worried. "DON'T!" He shouted to them before Calibur charged at him and clashed blades with him. "Henshin..." They both said as they placed their books in their drivers and transformed into Kamen Rider Saber and Ember, Dragonic Knight and Dragonic Paladin forms. They charged pass Buster and Saber clashed blades with Calibur to push her back as Ember blast Shade and Umbra with fireballs to push them back. Dragonic Knight! The burst of power when Saber and Calibur clashed blades set off the sprinkler system. "I thought we could fight together again..." Ember said to Calibur just as the two Primitive Dragon books came flying to both her and Saber. "I thought you could help me finally keep my promise I made with my friends...!" She said just as the two Primitive Dragon books knocked their Dragonic books out of their drivers and they switched to their Berserk Forms. ~PRIMITIVE...DRAGON! A dark pulse of energy went everywhere when they transformed and as the sprinklers continue to spray water on them, both Saber and Ember let out a roar. Calibur, Shade, and Umbra then vanished before Saber and Ember could attack them. With them gone, Sabela and Steam were released from the orbs and land on the ground before they went for the Hanselnuts to Gretel book and picked it up. "We will be retrieving this." Sabela said just before she turned to smoke and left. Steam however stayed behind because of what Calibur said before and it made her worry. She then turned into smoke and left as she thought about what she heard. As both Saber and Ember were still roaring, something was happening inside their minds. Both Flash and Twilight was back in that forest from before and it was still raining. Flash was standing but Twilight was on her knees because of what her mother has become. Flash kneeled down to comfort her as it continues to rain. The white dragon from before walked up to them while they are on their knees. "Is she sad as well?" She asked before she holds out her claws to them. Both Flash and Twilight looked at the dragon before Twilight looked back down and the dragon lower her claws when they didn't take them. The white dragon then turned and walked away from them. The place glowed bright as outside their minds they transformed back to Flash and Twilight and they fell to the ground. "Flash!! Twilight!!" Their friends shouted before they went over to them and check on them. "Did you both do that yourselves?!" Terra asked them as he wonders how they transformed back without hurting anyone. "No..." Beat said as she holds her sword and sees that her swords power has been sealed up. "SWORD OF ECHOES!!" She cried out to her sealed sword. They all watch Beat cry over her family sword is now seal and can no longer be used. Meanwhile, Mist holds Beat's book as she and Starlight walks down the street. Logos is in the throne room with a smile on his face while in the meeting room, Surge and Wind are having a hard time of what they should do next. Tirek and Chrysalis were satisfied over sealing one of the Sacred Swords while Velvet knew this is only just the beginning. Twilight was feeding so down all this as she didn't know what to do next. The Story Continue > Volume 1, Chapter 27: Sorrow, Turn It Into a Smile. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Within the Megido lar. Storious is working on a dark spell circle, with the book that Legeiel created himself in the center of it. "This forbidden technique will add a new page to your book..." Storious told Legeiel as the circle gets bigger as he worked on it. "To draw its power to its absolute limits. There is no going back now." "The Swordsman and Paladin of flames... Saber...! Ember...!" Legeiel said with so much rage in his voice as red dark aura cover both him and his book. You both are mine... You both are mine!! You both are mine!!" He shouted as he began to change. Meanwhile in the Northern Base, Beat is examining her now seal sword as the others told Spike, Cozy Glow, the CMCs, and the Young Six what happened the other day. "I can't believe that Velvet saw into the future and she thinks that sealing the Sacred Swords is the only way to keep the world safe." Spike said with disbelief. "Is she sure that there is no other way?" Ocellus asked. "We're not sure." Rarity said as she was worried about the future. Twilight was lost in her thoughts as she thought about her mother telling them that she came back to save the world from absolute destruction when she, Tirek, and Chrysalis were here in the base. "But did my mom really did see the future?" Shining Armor asked. "Yes. What she saw was a number of potential futures." Light answered. "It's another hidden power of Kurayami." But what does she intend to do after she's sealed all our swords...?" Beat asked as she pulled out her sword from the computer. "Mom's going to fight alone..." Twilight said in a sad tone. "To save the worlds from destruction... While shouldering everything..." "Probably. That would be just like her." Terra said from the top of the balcony. Then both Flash and Twilight took out their Primitive Dragon books and looked at them. "Don't worry Twi." Flash said to her. "We will fight by her side this time." "Before that, we need to do something about that Ride Book." Light told them. "Otherwise you two won't be saving anything." "About that..." Flash spoke up. "When we last transformed, me and Twilight saw the white dragon again and she asked us is Twilight was sad too." "That was the first time she'd ever called out to us." Twilight said. "She was worried about me." "So that means the dragon in the book does have emotions?" Gallus asked. "And actually quite kind!" Flash said. "We just want her to open her heart..." "We want to save her from that sorrow..." Twilight added. "...and help her smile." Just then, Sunset came in with Twilight Sparkle from Equestria, her Spike and Smolder in their dog forms, and another dog that looks bigger than Spike and Smolder with blue fur, red eyes, and white ears. This dog is Dragon Lord Ember as a dog. Twilight even carried a long case that look like it hold something important. "Mind if we help?" Princess Twilight asked as she placed the case on the table and opened it. In it is a staff made of blue stone with a big red crystal stone at the end of it. It is the Dragon Lord Scepter. "We managed to figure out most of the mural back in the dragonlands and given what, uh Sun...rest? Told us and what we heard before we came in, it can help." Ember said. "So far, the mural showed us the dragon you both saw before and all the dragons saw at the dragon Lands." Princess Twilight explained. "It was happy before when it had friends from different creatures. But because of how a dragon ages different, she lost all her friends. But we don't know what happened after because the rest fade over time. But we found out that the dragon staff can connect to other dragons." She took out the staff. "We might be able to help if you want." "Good, because me and Flash are going to transform with these by choice..." Twilight told their visitors. "...so we can talk to her." "That's crazy!" Terra shouted as he ran down the stairs. "What if it possesses you both entirely?" "Even so we still-" Flash was about to tell him other wise before Light spoke up. "I'll put my trust in you. Do what you will." She said. Everyone agreed with Light as they trust Flash and Twilight and knows with the help of Princess Twilight and Ember, it might work. "We all believe in you two!" This world Spike said. Terra just slammed down on the floor before he walked over to them. "Alright then!" Terra shouted. "Give it your all, you both hear? I'll stop you if you both lose it." "Hold on..." Twilight said. "We're going to transform in Libération." "You mean that place in the back Surge was training in?" Rarity asked and Twilight nodded yes before she and Flash looked at the doors where the Libération is. "No one should get hurt if we're in there." Flash said. "Ember was it? You and Princess Twilight can join us in there if you want, but it might get rough in there." In the Megid lar, Legeiel's book was completed as its cover is golden yellow with red spine and the symbol is red as well. "It's finished." Storious said as holds it up before Legeiel took it back. Legeiel! "Now, put on a show for us..." Storious told Legeiel. "And brandish your new powers." Legeiel smile as he opened up his book to reveal his new story and form. Awaken the Legend Megido who rules over all mythical beasts! He closed his book and place it back inside himself. The power surge through him as he felt before he transformed into his new Megido form. His Legeiel Forbidden form. After his transformation was completed, he laughed at the new power he holds. Back at the Northern Base, within the Libération. Somehow in there Princess Twilight, Spike, Smolder, and Ember were back to their original forms as if the Libération has Equestrian magic within it. Now that Princess Twilight is an alicorn, she a barrier around her and the three dragons as Ember ready her staff, while Flash and Twilight had their drivers on as they took out their Wounder Ride Books. Brave Dragon Wonder Paladin "We will save you!" Sci-Twi declared as the two Primitive Dragon books landed in their drivers and they placed their books in them and they transformed Berserk Forms. Get! Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! PRIMITIVE...DRAGON! After they transformed, they started to attack Twilight's barrier as they were out of control. Twilight did her best to hold the barrier up and the three dragons were terrified as they saw the skeleton dragon covered in white flames. But they knew they had to help Saber and Ember, so they swallow their fears and Ember use her staff glowed and it created lines to the four of them before it shot two of them at Saber and Ember. They roared as the princess and the three dragons enter their minds. As the four of them enter their minds, their were see through before they saw the young white dragon as Flash and Sci-Twi walked up to her. The only thing different from last gew times is that it stop raining. They kneel down to look at her. "Sorry about before." Sci-Twi said to the dragon before she and Flash hold out their hands, ready to take its claws. "You don't have to be alone anymore." Princess Twilight said to the dragon. "Yeah, we are all friends here." Spike said with a smile. "You don't have to be sad at all." "Even though you..." Smolder was about to add what the dragon did before its eyes glowed white before she transformed into that skeleton dragon. The dragon then fire at both Flash and Twilight and the two felt the flames. Outside their minds, Saber and Ember began to attack each other and not the barrier before they transformed out of their rider forms and fell to the ground. "What happened?" Smolder asked. "I-I don't know..." Ember said. "But I didn't just felt sorrow from that dragon, but rage..." Princess Twilight was about to ask Spike and Smolder if they had as well before she noticed Flash and Sci-Twi looked to be in pain. "Are you both okay?" She asked them as they hold the Primitive Dragon books. "That felt like we was actually getting burnt...!" Flash said as he holds his arm. "We got to try again...!" Sci-Twi shouted as she and Flash place their books back in their drivers. "Henshin!" They shouted before thet transformed back to their Berserk Forms. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! ~PRIMITIVE...DRAGON! As they were back in their Berserk Forms, they didn't attack Twilight's barrier but each other. Ember tired again with her staff and they enter their minds again. This time the place is foggy and both Flash and Twilight were kneeling infront of the dragon. "Please, can you tell us why it is you're feeling sad...?" Princess Twilight asked as Flash and Sci-Twi hold out their hands again. "Please...We just want to help..." Flash said to the dragon before its eyes glowed again and it happened again. They transformed out of their rider forms and fell to the ground again. But they show no sign of stopping as they got up and try again. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! As they went back, dragon did it again and Flash and Twilight fell to the ground. So they tried again. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! "Henshin!!" They shouted louder than before. But as they enter their minds again, the samething happened. They fell to the ground as they were knocked out of their rider forms. They got up and tried again. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! The same result happened again and they tried again. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! Both Flash and Sci-Twi roared, lay on the ground for a bit of rest, but no matter how many times they keep going back in it always in the same way. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! "Maybe we should take a break..." Spike suggested as he and the others noticed both Flash and Twilight were almost out of energy. But Flash and Twilight didn't stop and try again. Everyone waited outside the Libération for them to get control of those books. "It's already been an hour since they went into Libération..." Beat said. Just then, Spike's book shine and he took it out. "Not good!" Spike said as he they knew that this was bad timing. In the city, people were running away from as Legeiel unleashed his new power just to get Saber's and Ember's attention. "Show yourselves, Swordsman and Paladin of Flames!!" Legeiel shouted as he continue to attack everything in site. Back in the Libération, inside Flash's and Twilight's minds. They both fell to the ground as they enter their minds again and stared at the dragon. "ENOUGH!!" Ember shouted with frustration. "I am the dragon lord and I demand that you tell us why are you so sad all the time!!" But the dragon didn't obey. "Listen..." Sci-Twi said to the dragon. "We just want...to save you!" The dragon looked at them. "Save me...?" The dragon asked before her eyes glowed and she became the skeleton dragon. "Humans like you would never get it! And you! You are no dragon lord of mine!" She then breath flames at them all. Both Flash and Twilight did their best to hold their own as the flames were shot at them. But as they did, they can hear the dragon's thoughts. "Where is everyone...?" Is what they heard before they transformed out of their rider forms. "Did you guys hear that too?" Spike asked. "That was..." Both Twilights said. They soon exit the Libération and Princess Twilight and tge three dragons returned back to a human and dogs as they came out. Fluttershy, Human Spike, Cozy, the Young Six, the CMCs, and Beat were the only ones there and the kids had their squire swords out. "Flash! Twilight!" Fluttershy called out as she went over to them as they rest on the floor. "Did you save the dragon?" Beat asked them. "About that..." Flash said as he took deep breaths with Sci-Twi. "She just wouldn't listen." Smolder said. "Where's everyone? And why do they have their squares out?" Sci-Twi asked. "A Megido showed up in the city..." Fluttershy answered. Within the city, Buster and Spike's square swung their swords at Legeiel. Only for him to caught their swords and threw them right into Saikou, Shine, and Sweetie Bell's square. Just as Whirlwind, Quake, and Apple Bloom's square jumped in to try and strike him, he swung his sword and knocked them back before he kicked Aqua and Shine back. He then slashed all four of them and they stubble back. "I got no business with you lot!" Legeiel shouted. "Tell me where the Swordsman and Paladin of flames is!!" He demanded as he send a huge slash wave that turned into a tornado right at them and they were sent flying back and to the ground. "This guy's way more powerful than before...!" Buster shouted as he struggled to get back up. "Don't worry, Flash and Twilight are on their way here!" Scootaloo's square told them. And just as she said, both Flash and Twilight ran up the street to where they are. "Those words were weighty..." Twilight thought what the white dragon said as they way to the fight. "What was she trying to tell us...?" "Mama, where are you?!" A little girl called out as he is lost. "Where did you go?! Mama!" Both Flash and Twilight stopped and heard the little girl call out. "Mama! Where did you go?!" Then they both remembers what the white dragon asked. ("Where is everyone...?") They both then realize why the white dragon was so sad. "That's it...! That must be it!" Flash said to Twilight as they looked at each other before they ran over to the little girl. "You'll see your Mama again." Twilight told the little girl. "She's right, just make sure you don't give up!" Flash told the little girl. "Flitter!" The girl's mother called out as she ran to her and hugged her. "Thank goodness! Thank goodness." Flash and Twilight were happy to see this little girl was found and knew what do next. "We'll definitely save that dragon too." Flash said to Twilight before they continue on to help their friends. Back with the fight, Saikou, Shine, and three of the Squares raised their swords as Legeiel came at them and clashed blades. Legeiel pushed them back before he kicked Buster back and clashed blades with Aqua in her Upgrade forms. Then all of them try to strike him just as he struck first and knocked them to the ground. "You both are finally here, Swordsman and Paladin of Flames!" Legeiel shouted as he turned around and everyone saw Flash and Twilight arrived. "There will be no trace left of you after I'm done!!" He powered up his sword and send a tornado right at them. "Steel yourself, and hope will find you!" Twilight shouted as she and Flash took their Dragonic Knight and Dragonic Paladin books as the tornado came at them. They place them in their drivers and Flash draw out his sword as Twilight pressed the button on her driver. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! "Henshin!" They shouted as they transformed into their Upgrade forms just before the tornado could hit them. Don't miss it! ~DragonicKnight! They knocked the tornado away and Legeiel charged at them. They clashed blades with him before they blocked his attack with their swords. They ducked under one of his attacks before they stuck him before he struck back and they fell to the ground. They quickly got back up as the two Primitive Dragon books floated infront of them. The two books possessed them and knocked their Dragonic Knight and Paladin books out of their drivers and made Saber place his sword back in his driver before he drew back out as Ember pressed the button on her driver and they switched to their Berserk Forms. ~PRIMITIVE...DRAGON! They roared as a dark pulse went everywhere. "How insolent!" Legeiel shouted as charged at them. Saber and Ember pounced on Legeiel and grabbed hold of his head as they beat on him with their swords while he try to get them off. "Me, Spike, and Sunset will hold Flash and Twilight back." Saikou told the others. "The rest of you take Legeiel!" "Right then. Leave it to us!" Buster shouted as he and the others charged at Legeiel just as Saber use the blade on his helmet to slashed Legeiel. Saikou, Spike's Square, and Shine grabbed Saber and Ember while the rest kept Legeiel busy. Buster and Quake dodged an attack from him, while the CMCs' Squares attack him from behind. From behind a pillar, Surge walked out from there and saw what is going on. And he was not the only one here, Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis came to see the fight as well. On top of a rooftop of a building is Starlight, whi is watching the fight. "Flash! Twilight, wake up!" Spike shouted as he, Shine, and Saikou hold down both Saber and Ember. From within their minds, Flash and Twilight ran through the forest untill they found the white dragon that it's in that skeleton dragon. They remember what Gallus asked about the book have emotions as they face the dragon. The dragon breath fire at them just to try and get them out. As then flames hit them, they try to get closer to the dragon as they remember what Twilight promise to save her from that sorrow and make her smile. They walked closer to the dragon as ot keeps breathing fire at them. They made it through the flames while outside their minds, Saber and Ember knocked the three that hold them down off them and struck them before they kicked them to the ground. "Now the transformation will be undone." Velvet told Tirek and Chrysalis. Back within Saber's and Ember's minds, both Flash and Twilight made it through the flames and got near the skeleton dragon. "Where is everyone...?" The dragon asked the two. "Where did they go?" They got close to the dragon's head and gave it a hug. Back outside their minds, both Saber and Ember stopped in place and just lowered their heads and arms. Velvet was shocked to see that what she predict didn't happen. "Why...?" Velvet asked. Surge noticed that Saber and Ember didn't move a muscle. "Flash and Twilight are desperately trying to find an answer!" Saikou said when everyone noticed Saber and Ember stopped moving. "Until then, we gotta stop Legeiel!" Buster shouted as he, Aqua, and Whirlwind clashed blades with Legeiel. "Spike, you and the girls watch over them!" "Move it!!" Legeiel shouted as he headbutted Buster in the head knocked him into the others before he charged at Saber and Ember. Saikou, Shine, Quake, and the Squares block his path. Saikou and Shine kicked him back before the Squares and Quake slashed their swords at him. Legeiel struck back and knocked them to the ground before he clashed blades with Buster when he charged at him. He then slashed down on Buster then kicked him into Aqua and Whirlwind. The others try to get him from behind, but Legeiel blocked their attacks and strike them before he slashed them. As they fell to the ground, Legeiel raised his sword and a big surge of power went into it before he stabbed the ground that send a powerful shock wave at the riders. The squares jumped out of the way as it hit them. The riders fell to the ground and was knocked out of their rider forms. Legeiel then put up a barrier around the Squares before he turned to Saber and Ember before he charged at them, ready to end them. Just before he could struck down Saber, Blades in his Upgrade form and Steam blocked the attack just in time. The others were surprise to see them here and especially that Steam just save Saber and Ember. "Surge! Starlight!" Terra called out when he saw them. Both Blades and Steam pushed him before they slashed him a few times. "We too will watch over Flash and Twilight's resolve!" Blades declared. "There is something I want to find out and I need both Flash and Twilight alive to get it!" Steam shouted. "Move out of the way!!" Legeiel shouted as he charged at Blades and Steam. The three clashed blades before they ducked under one of his attacks and thrust their swords at him. He try to thrust his sword at them, but they dodged him. Blades grabbed his arm and hit his elbow with his sword's handle before Steam kicked him in the back of Legeiel's knee. Legeiel grabbed them both and pulled them around and twisted their arms before he punched Blades then kicked Steam before he slashed both of them. Meanwhile inside both Saber's and Ember's minds. Flash and Twilight continue to hug the dragon before Twilight spoke in a soft tone. "Can you tell us why you've been sad all this time?" "A long time ago, dragons and humans got along and lived happily together." The dragon told them as the background show dragons and humans living together in complete harmony. "But then one day, the humans who were scared of us started hunting down all my dragon friends..." The background change to show humans hunting the dragons. "...until most of my friends vanished and I was the only one left." We then see some dragons dead but one. Both Flash and Twilight began to cry over this dragon's story as they saw what she has been through. "Where are you? Where'd you all go?" The dragon's memories asked. "I couldn't find my friends that vanished anywhere..." The dragon told them as the background show the dragon looking for his friends before the background changed again that the dragon was glowing white. "I became all alone..." Then it changed to see that dragon's wings for withering away and she looked weak till it changed to it as a skeleton. "That's not true." Flash told the dragon. "Your story hasn't ended just yet." "And we believe we know where the friends that vanished went." Twilight said and what they said made the dragon wonder what they meant. "It was then the sleeping dragon, exhausted from searching for her friends suddenly hears two voices." The background change to show the skeleton dragon resting. ""You're not alone."" The area around the dragon began to change that grass grew round her. ""Your friends are right here by your side."" Flash continue their story. ""And those who survived, were saved by the alicorn Faust. She save them from the humans by taking them to a magical land called Equestria."" ""It's true, now please listen carefully- What do you hear?"" Twilight continue the stoy as more grass grew round the dragon. "The dragon responds: "The sound of the wind, like its laughing!"" The winds blew around the dragon to make it lift its head. ""The water's singing, and the earth smells nostalgic."" Flash continue as the grassy area change to water around the dragon. ""And the fire..."" Both Flash and Twilight said. ""It feels so warm."" The sun shines down on the dragon. The dragon the were hugging turned back to its young white dragon. "They're all my friends? And did they really have been saved?" The young dragon asked. "That's right!" Twilight told the dragon as she and Flash kneeled down. "And those dragons have made a mural that tells their stories. But there unable to finish yours because they couldn't find you as well." "But that doesn't mean that they forgot you." Flash told the dragon. "So many of your friends are right here in nature too!" What they told her made her smile bright. "Thank you for finding my friends!" The dragon said to them. "Do you think..." Twilight started. "...we could be your friends too?" They both asked the dragon as they hold out their hands to her. The dragon smile as she took their hands and accepted their friendship. Then the background show the skeleton dragon meeting to dragons made of fire ans becoming friends. The young dragon then flew up into the sky with two red fire dragons. Outside their minds, Blades place his King Lion Daisenki book in his Booster. King Lion Daisenki Splashing Reading Blades's shoulder cannons power up. "Lionic Full Burst!" He fired at Legeiel as Steam became a puff of smoke and attack him. ~Lionic Burst! Legeiel caught both attacks before he pushed Steam into Blades and send the blast right at them. The blast knocked them to the ground and they transformed out of their rider forms. Terra caught Surge while Applejack caught Starlight just when Princess Twilight, her Spike, Smolder, and Dragon Lord Ember arrived. Legeiel turned his attention back to Saber and Ember and went for them and the riders charged at him to stop him. Legeiel knocked Terra back when he swung his sword down while Surge, Rainbow, and Rarity try to hold him but he knocked them down before he caught Light and Applejack when they try to kick him. The squares broke through the barrier and try to help, but Legeiel threw Surge, Rainbow, and Rarity right at them to knock them to the ground. Legeiel then kicked Terra when he charged at him before he punched Surge and Starlight and they were all on the ground. Legeiel then took aim at Saber and Ember as he power up his sword. "Disappear from my sight!!" He shouted as he send a powerful shock wave at them. When it hit an explosion covered them but a bright glow shine within the flames and everyone saw it. "That's...!" Surge said when and the others saw the light. Within the flames and glow, both Saber and Ember are unharmed as they see Flash and Twilight holding hands with the white dragon. Behind them, they can see the stone mural from the Dragon Lands becoming restored and shows both the skeleton dragon holding claws with a red fire dragon. A pulse of power put out the flames and both Flash and Twilight stood tall. Twilight's hair hand a red stripe next to the white one and in both their hands are the two Primitive Dragon books and two new Wonder Rider Books. The other book is bright red and the title of it says "Elemental Dragon" with a dragon head and claw on the cover. "What?!" Legeiel asked as he was shocked to see that they survived. Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis watched as they saw this. "Flash... Twilight..." Surge said as he and the others saw Flash and Twilight hold the new books. "You both really did save her!" "That red stripe in her hair really lights up Twilight's eyes..." Rarity whispered to herself. Both Flash and Twilight holds up their Primitive Dragon books and their Elemental Dragon books. "Please fight by our side." Twilight whisper to their books before she and Flash open up the cover of their Elemental Dragon books. Elemental Dragon And now, join hands with that primordial power to become the mystical beast that will save all! They then close those books before they open up their Primitive Dragon books and place the Elemental Dragon books in them. Elemental Dragon Get! They raised their books up high before they placed them in their drivers and Flash draw out his sword as Twilight pressed the button on her driver. Flash's book open up to show a dragon claw just as the Primitive Dragon book's claw looked like it was shaking claws with the other. Twilight's had a red dragon head looking up at the skull dragon as the two lock both claws together. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! Their books glowed and they stood in a library with flames surrounding them as giant versions of their books landed behind them and Flash's sword was covered in flames. "Henshin!" They shouted as Flash slash his sword and huge flames covered Twilight and they transformed into new rider forms. ~CRACKING! CRUNCHING! BONE! ~Flaring ~Flaring ~Burn ~SHAKE HANDS!! ~ELEMENTAL DRAGON! More and more elements makes for a formidable bond! Ember's new form is similar to Saber's, only she had red dragon head looking up at her helmet with the dragon skull and the claws on her holding to each other and the red dragon's wings make a the bottom of a cloak while she had bone dragon wings as a cape. Legeiel scoffed at their new forms. "It doesn't matter what form you take! I am invincible!" He shouted. Saber and Ember took a battle stands before they charge at Legeiel just as he send slash waves at them. They dodged each slash as they were running in the air on flames before they send a slash wave right at him. They flew in the air around Legeiel as water flow behind them. They went up high before they came down with a spin before they slashed Legeiel. Legeiel step back from those attacks before he send a bolt of lightning right at Saber and Ember. They use their swords to blocked the lightning before they send their own back at him. Legeiel did his best to block them, but they broke through his defense and he was sent flying up in the air before he crashed to the ground. "What was that?!" He asked as he struggled to get back up. "How are two mere humans this powerful?!" "Legeiel..." Ember spoke. "Weren't you a human as well?" She asked him. "How laughable!" Legeiel shouted. "I-" He was about to tell them otherwise before his head started hurting. He then saw six humans and one pony in Wonder World. "It's beautiful!" He heard his own voice said that. He then saw himself with Zooous and Storious with calm smiles on their faces. "We're the very first humans to lay eyes on this place!" His memory self said to both Zooous and Storious before they looked over to a man that looked like Tassel but he hand a flower chain around his head while he wears robes. He looked at the three and smiled before giving them a nod. "No way..." Legeiel said as he the memories came to him, like he forgot them but they came back. "It's a lie... LIES!! IT'S ALL LIES! I'm not some human!! I am a chosen one who stands above the rest!!" He then charged at Saber and Ember just as they charged at him. Their swords burst into flames as they clashed blades with one another with a burst of flames when they clash. They continue to clashed before Legeiel spun around them and try to get them from behind, but they blocked his attack before they spun around and slashed him. Legeiel brought his sword up and clashed agenst Saber's arm. He pushed him back before he and Ember slashed and kicked him back before they slashed him again. They then spin kicked Legeiel when he try to strike them and slashed him before thet clashed blades. They pushed him back before they kicked him that cause them flip back. They then charged at Legeiel and slashed him as they passed him. They then became a green tornado as they move fast as the wind and struck Legeiel a few times before they burst out of the ground knocked him back as they back flipped. Legeiel yelled in pain as he started to glow before a burst of power emerged from him. "What's happening to him?!" Both Spikes asked when everyone saw what is happening to Legeiel. "They've used a forbidden technique." Light told them. "He can't be saved. Put him to rest." She told both Saber and Ember. They both hear what Light told them and nodded to her. Saber then placed his sword back in his driver just as Ember place her sword in her holder. "How this story ends, is ours to decide!" Saber declared as he pushed the cover of the book and Ember pulled back the claws on her book for their finisher. BETTER & BETTER FINISHING PASSAGE Saber then drew out his sword as Ember pressed the button on her driver and the claws rejoin the other claws. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! ELEMENTAL COMPILATION SLASH! "All Creation Slash!!" Saber and Ember declared their finisher before they send a multicolor slash waves at Legeiel that send him a few feet back before he hit the ground. As he stood up before sparks went off him and a spirit of his human self appeared and gave a smile on his face as he is happy that his torture is at an end. Legeiel then dropped his sword before he exploded. From not too far, Storious watch the hole fight from the start. "Legeiel." Storious said. "It seems your story has come to an end." He gave one last look before he walked away. Saber and Ember took out their books and transformed back to Flash and Twilight. Elemental Dragon Thank you! The dragon lord staff glowed and Princess Twilight, Spike, Smolder, and Ember were brought to inside Flash's and Twilight's in their Equestrian forms. They along with Flash and Twilight saw Tassel hold the young white dragon's claw. "You truly are amazing, Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle!" Tassel told them. They were confused by Tassel for this is the first time they meet Tassel. "I'm sorry, who are you...?" Both Twilights asked Tassel. "My name is Tassel." He introduced himself to them. "Thank you..." He said as he patted the young white dragon on the head. "...for saving this dragon's soul when no else could. I'm sure you've made that girl happy too." Sci-Twi knew who he was talking about. "That girl?" Flash asked. "You mean Star?" Sci-Twi asked Tassel. "Please Mr. Tassel, can you tell us why are the Megdio doing all of this?" Princess Twilight asked. "Both worlds is currently on their way to disaster." Tassel told them before he looks at Flash and Sci-Twi. "You need to find her as soon as possible!" The white dragon walk over to Spike, Smolder, and Ember and gave all three a hug. "You three look like my friends from long ago." The dragon said to them as they hugged her back. Ember was still getting used to it. "Well I'm glad we remind you of your friends." Spike said. "Yeah. I guess you aren't so bad." Smolder said. "And I'm so sorry for yelling at you before." Ember said to the dragon. "I just want to help you like a great leader would have." "And I'm sorry for yelling back." The dragon said to them. "And happy to have friends again and happy to know that Faust did save our kind." Was the last thing she said before went back out of their minds and their friends came over to them. "You both did it!" Human Spike said as he, Cozy, Fluttershy, Sprit, Beat, the CMCs, and the Young Six came from the Northern Base. "That new forms was amazing!" Sprit shouted as she flew around. "You were all POW, then you were SLASH SLASH, and the you were BANG BANG!!" "You saved the dragon." Beat said to them. The others joined them but Surge and Starlight were gone. "Those passages in the forbidden tome were mistaken." Flash told everyone. "What the dragon desired wasn't ruin." "That's right, it was her friends and family..." Sci-Twi said. "...and the reason why the dragons in the Dragon Lands were afraid, was not the dragon it self. It was the bad memories of their ancestors rising in their minds." Everyone smile at the thought of the dragon now save and is now finally happy once again. Twilight hold up her Primitive Dragon book and Elemental Dragon book. "We're not alone either." Before Surge and Starlight left, they got one last look at the group and how they celebrated. "Flash... Twilight." Surge said. "I've also steeled my resolve." He then walked away. "Got to say..." Starlight said to herself. "Those two really are something. I knew these two will help me get some answers I'm trying to find." She then walked away. Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis saw the hole fight before Tirek looked at Velvet. "You said that Saber and Ember will transformed back shortly. But they didn't and they gotten stronger before they destroyed Legeiel." Tirek told her. "Yes. Why didn't you see this coming?" Chrysalis asked Velvet. "Even so, the future won't change." Velvet told the two. The Stoy Continue > Volume 1, Chapter 28: Writing the Past, Drawing the Future. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We open to the Northern Base, the group had returned there to talk. Princess Twilight, Spike, Smolder, and Dragon Lord Ember went back home to Equestria. "Flash, Twilight, well done on overcoming Primitive Dragon." Beat told them. "What that dragon was searching for all along..." Flash said as he and Twilight looked at their Primitive Dragon books. "...waw her friends." "Once we learned of her sad tale, it naturally took from in our minds..." Twilight said as she and Flash remembers their talk with the dragon. "We told her a tale of how her old friends were saved by the alicorn Faust and meeting new friends." "Which became these here Elemental Dragon books." Applejack said as they remember their awesome new forms. Both Flash and Twilight nodded yes by Applejack's comment as they placed both their Primitive Dragon and Elemental Dragon books on the table. Terra patted the both of them on the back. "Now you two can join us on the frontlines again!" He told the two and they were happy to be. "Plus, you two defeated Legeiel!" Sprit said as flew around. "And with him gone, that just leaves Zooous and Storious!" "I get the feeling that they will not make it easy to do so." Spike said. "But guess what, me and Smolder found out that we can switch between our human forms to our dogs and vice versa." "It's true!" Smolder said. "We've been practicing for a few days and once we show them not to mess with us, they'll be sorry." "No, the fight still isn't over just yet, even if we defeat them." Light said. "We still have a foe lying within the organisation." Twilight said. At the Southern Base in the throne room. Master Logos is sitting in his throne as he laughs with delight before he looks at a book. "The time for the Omniscient Tome's draws near." He said as he looks at the book with a gem on the cover. Near a warehouse Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis were there to discuss what to do next. "I say we go for the Sword of Lightning. It has no wielder so it will be so easy to seal away!" Tirek said. "One problem. Velvet's daughter is entrusted with that sword and she won't give it up so easy." Chrysalis told him. While the two argued, Velvet was thinking about how saving the world means sealing the Sacred Swords and it's the only way. "No faltering." Velvet said. "We...will fulfill my desire." We open to Ocellus's home were we see, her and her family eating breakfast together. "Ocellus, you've been looking a little different these days." Her mother said to her. "I do?" Ocellus asked as she checked herself. "Something look weird, mom?" "No, no- You look more resilient." Ocellus's mother told her. "Those new friends influences maybe?" Ocellus understood what her mother what saying. "I've certainly been through some crazy with my new friends." Ocellus said as she remembers all the stuff she and her friends have been through with the riders and even tge stuff they told them before they met. "Probably helped me grow a little!" "That's good to hear." Her mother said. "By the way, can you do me a favor? It's for work." ""Our true enemy is within the Sword of Logos."" Terra repeated. The group is talking about how they're going to find the true enemy is. "That's what your father said?" He asked Twilight. "Yes." Twilight answer. "That was when he entrusted it to me and Flash." She remembers her father asking them to take his place and find the truth. "He also said this: The resone Arabia's uncle; Sombra betrayed his friends was the path he chosen will save the world and lead to true peace." Flash said. "It's what THEY told him and his two paladins." Beat then took out her sword from the computer and looked at it. ""The path I've chosen will save the world."" Beat said. "Velvet said the same." "That would mean Sombra caught a glimpse of our worst possible future when he had Kurayami." Sunset said. "That would also mean that both mon and dad saw those same futures too, right?" Shining Armor asked. "The fate those bearing the title of Calibur, I suppose." Beat said as she sat down after she placed her back in the computer. "I guess our biggest mystery is who "they" are supposed to be." Terra said. "The easiest answer would probably be..." "Master Logos." Twilight said. "Not necessarily." Beat said. "The organisation has a council of high-ranking "sages". These are four sages with a high degree of authority. The organisation's policies must go through them for approval." "Regardless, the organisation has been unmistakably corrupted down to its roots." Light said. "Who can say if they're out to protect or destroy balance in the world?" "And right now, both Surge and Wind are still trapped there." Sprit pointed out. Meanwhile in the Southern Base, both Surge and Wind are in the meeting room to talk. "Surge. I'm leaving." Wind told him. Surge looked at her with a bit of shocked and surprised. "Even though Velvet is alive..." Wind thought back when she try to ask Mist about if Arabia is alive. Mist told her that Arabia is gone but Wind didn't believe it. "Very well." Surge told her. "But Flash did say Velvet seeks to seal all Sacred Swords. Beat's has already fallen victim. You also might-" "What are you on about?!" Wind shouted. "It's Velvet and she might know if Arabia is alive!" She then made her way for the exit before she stop to say one last thing to him. "I'll be fine." She then walked out. With Wind gone, Surge looked down and thought about what to do next. "It's time I also steeled my resolve." Surge said to herself. At the Northern Base. Ocellus walked out from the Book Gate while the others were thinking. "Twilight..." She said. "I got something important to ask..." "Something important?" Twilight asked. "What is it?" "Well, uhh... About that..." Ocellus said but having a hard time getting the words out. "Uhm..." "What's wrong? Not looking like yourself there missy." Terra said. "My mom works at the same place your mom used to work at and she wanted me to ask you this." Ocellus said. "She wants me to ask you if you can write a sequel to Living by the Sword. Her boss said that Velvet has a peculiar charm to it that really speaks to the heart. But I know very well that you've been busy enough as it is... Yeah it's your mom's work, but it still seemed unfair to ask..." "I'll write one." Twilight said after a bit of silence. "A sequel to Living by the Sword." "You sure Twi? At a time like this?" Rainbow asked. "Now is exactly the time to be writing it..." Twilight said. "That tale about us. Mom would have done when she is in her right mind. This tale will began from my and Sprit's encounter with a mysterious girl named Star." "That sounds like a great start." Sprit said as she and Twilight remembers the first time they met Star. "Meeting Star made me love books even more!" Twilight told the others as she remembers the when she, Arabia, Sprit, and Star spend time together. "When I first spent my time with them, it felt like I could see my future. Like, I could be a novelist like my mom or become a rider like my father. But then that happened." She then remember the attack that happened 12 years ago when Sombra was Calibur, Star was sucked into a vortex, and when her father saved her, her mother, and Shining. "After forgetting about the incident... I started having that same dream of it on my birthday again and again. The dream felt so oddly realistic so, I thought just maybe, it was something that actually happened. Because of that, I started to rely on science to and stop believing in magic." "But soon after, Equestrian magic was brought here by Sunset and you met us!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "During the Friendship Games and the hole Midnight Sparkle thing. And soon we went after to Camp Everfree for a school trip where we got our geos and we had great fun after all that!" "It was the craziest things that happened to us!" Applejack said. "I would never dreamed about seeing real magic and be able to use it." Twilight said. "But now I'm so happy to have met you girls. But even then, I still continue having that dream on my birthday." "And when that day on your 17th birthday..." Flash said as they remember that when the Megido first attack and made the Mall and the area around it disappeared with both Flash, Twilight, and all those people with it. They remember the Golem Megido telling them that books are power to them and how the world will be theirs to rule in accordance to those books. "Books should bring people joy." Twilight said. "So me and Flash couldn't sit still while the Megido were using them for evil." She, Flash, and Sprit then remember when Rekka appeared and Flash drew it out from the ground. That's when he first transformed into Kamen Rider Saber and fought the Golem. "And there I was, happy to see Twilight again but also panicking away..." Sprit said. "While Flash fought and beat that Megido." "I mean, I just desperate." Flash said. "But for some reason, my body just moved like this was all natural to me." "Probably because you and Twilight are fated to obtain power." Light said. "Our fate?" Twilight asked as she and Flash remembers Light told them that before. "Exactly." Light said. "Hence, why Rekka chose you." She told Flash. "It's certainly true that Flash and Twilight managed to draw out the Burning Sword's hidden power together." Beat said as they remember Rekka glowing bright and was able to separate the victims from the Megido for a short time. "We were just going with the flow then too." Twilight told them. "It's a bit late and all..." Gallus said. "These Sacred Swords and Wonder Ride Books things are super mysterious! I kind of want to know more about them!" "Me too!" Silverstream shouted. "Yona want to know about swords and books too!" Yona shouted. "Count me in." Sandbar said as Ocellus nodded in agreement. "I would love to know about them too." Cozy Glow said. "Do you even have to ask?" Smolder asked as she also want to know too. "I'll take it from here then." Light said. "For starters, the Wonder Ride Books are portions of the Omniscient Tome. They're what the individual pages turned into after being scattered by the conflict with the Megido. To reform the Omniscient Tome, the Megido created imitations of the Wonder Ride Books..." She explained to them. "...known as the Altar Ride Books. At first, they were decaying teleported city blocks to create their Alter Ride Books. But now..." "I see new books are coming in steadily." Storious said as he looked at the pile of Alter Ride Books. "We still have plenty of humans and creaters from Equestria connected to Wonder World after all." Zooous said. "Not to mention... This one's been doing good work." He looked at the Charybdis Megido who was reading a book. "You mean me?" The Charybdis Megido asked Zooous before it stood up and Zooous put his arm around it. "Unlike Desast, you're nice and loyal to us." Zooous told the Charybdis. "It's an honour, Zooous-sama!" Charybdis said. "That being said..." Zooous said. "That Legeiel went and got himself killed." "Is that an issue?" Storious asked him. "Nope." Zooous said as walked over to Storious. "Not at all. The books are still coming in. Once we've gathered the Sacred Swords too, we'll finally be able to remake both worlds as we please!" "Once both worlds and Wonder World have become one, death certainly will come for all of humans and Equestrians." Storious said. "However, the energy of their fear and despair will continue to remain...and continue to provide us limitless power." "So many people and creaters from Equestria like Soarin's mother and Pipsqueak to suffer for their ambitions." Twilight said in a sad tone. "It's unforgivable." "Hey, thanks again for saving my mom." Soarin said. "I don't know what I would do if she was gone forever." "But now, the Sword of Logos also seek to restore the Omniscient Tome, rather than just the Megido." Light said. "The Sword of Logos was originally formed to protect the world's balance." Terra said. "To ensure the Wonder Ride Books would never again be gathered to reform the Omniscient Tome...is why we distributed them between North and South." "But now those at the Southern Base like Ruby Mist have forgone the mission and its principles..." Beat said. "...and are trying to gather the Wonder Ride Books into a single place." "The nine they've stolen from us and are now at the Southern Base." Flash said. At the Southern Base, Mist and Starlight stands before Master Logos as he sits on his throne with the nine stolen Wonder Ride Books floating around it. "The Wonder Ride Books and Sacred Swords." Logos said. "As we thought, the key to gathering them was Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle." "Yes. It is as you said." Mist said. "Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle has continued to obtain new powers." "What truly mysterious man and woman." Logos said. "You ordered them isolated from the Northern Base swordsmen..." Mist continue. "...such that they would evolve even further, correct? However, won't they soon become a real threat to us?" "The other swords which intertwined Rekka should naturally awaken before long." Logos told Mist. "They'll fulfilled their role. It's about time we rid ourselves of them." He looked to the side and two men walked out. One has bright orange skin, drak orange hair, light blue eyes and on his red uniform is a sun. The other has black skin, pure white hair, dark blue eyes, his red uniform has a killer whale surrounded by a sonic wave, and this man carried a Sacred Sword. It's the Sacred Sword of Time: Jikokuken Kaiji. "Sonic Wave...!" Mist said with a smile when she saw the man with the Sacred Sword. "Sunburst...!" Starlight said when she saw the other. Somewhere in the city. Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis were out for a walk till Velvet stop and Wind run up to them. "Velvet...?" Wind asked when she saw her. "I've finally found you! Now you can tell me if Arabia is alive and where she is! Then we can fight together again!" She ran over to Velvet. "We can't." Velvet told Wind. "As for Arabia, I can't tell you if she is." "But why?" Wind asked. "Becoming strong like her has been my goal so-" Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis took out their Jaou Dragon book and Jaou Paladin books as they face her. She stepped back when they pulled them out as they placed them in their drivers. Jaou Dragon Jaou Paladin "Wind, I'm sorry..." Velvet told her as she hold up her sword. "But we're sealing your blade too." "Guess we should thank you for saving the trouble of coming for you." Chrysalis said as they pressed the button on their drivers and they transformed into their rider forms. Jaou Dragon! Jaou Paladin! They then brought their swords up and brought them down just as Wind dodged them in time. Wind was about to take out her sword before Shade and Umbra try to strike her, but she jumped back to dodge them. "Please just stop!" Wind shouted as quickly jumped on Calibur's back. Calibur got her off and spun around to strike Wind, but she back flipped and dodge the attack. Wind rolled out of way as they swung their swords at her again. "You're kidding me... Why?!" She shouted as they charged at her. Wind pulled out her sword and clashed blades with them. Each time time they clashed blades, Wind stepped back or dodge each time they try to strike her. Wind quickly pulled out her Wonder Ride Book and open it. Sarutobi Ninja-den Wind then close her book and place it in her sword before she split her sword in two. Twin Blades Divide "Henshin!" Wind shouted as she charged at the three and she transformed into Kamen Rider Kenzan. ~Hayate, the Sword of Zephyrs! Kenzan rolled behind them and hold Calibur's arm when she try to strike her. "Where is Arabia!?!?" Kenzan shouted before she was pushed back and then strike a few times by both Calibur and Umbra. Little did any of them know, Desast was watching them. "Here I was following this pleasant scent..." Desast said. "...and what do I find but the Calibur I killed, rampaging with both a Shade and a Umbra." He watch Shade kicked Kenzan to the ground. Kenzan jumped back up and kicked Calibur back before she dodge her when she thrust her sword forward. "He smells of...the mother of the Ember! This has gotten even more interesting!" "We got a Megido!" Spike shouted as he had his book out and a page popped up to show them what's happening. The page show them Desast and it also showed them Kenzan fighting Calibur and her two paladins. "Velvet! Tirek! Chrysalis! Wind!" Flash shouted when the page showed them. "Ok, let's move!" He and Twilight grabbed their Primitive Dragon and Elemental Dragon books before heading out. "Wait, I'm coming too!" Spike shouted as he, Smolder, Rainbow Dash, and Sprit followed them. Back at the fight, Kenzan got thrown at a bunch of junk by Shade and Umbra. Kenzan quickly got back up just as Calibur swung her sword at her and she blocked before she ran and flipped over some junk to try to get some distance from them. But they went after her and when Calibur jumped over the junk, she clashed blades with Kenzan when she brought her sword down. "Please stop!" Kenzan shouted as Calibur pinned her against a wall. Kenzan pushed her back before she try to punch her but Calibur caught the punch as Kenzan pushed her back. Calibur pushed Kenzan aside and to the ground. Both Shade and Umbra charged at Kenzan just as she got up and brought their swords down on her, but Kenzan blocked their attacks with her swords as they came down. They broke through her block and knocked her on of her swords out of her hand. Calibur then struck Kenzan a few times before she kicked her far and to the ground. Calibur then closed her book before she pressed the button on her driver for her finisher. Jaou Finishing Passage "That's the second." Calibur said as she brought her down one of Kenzan's two swords. Jaou Finishing Strike! The emblem turned black before the hole sword went dark. "My Twin Wind Sword..." Kenzan said as she saw one of her swords be sealed. "Why did you do this, Mrs. Velvet?!" "Forgive me, Wind." Calibur told her. "This is the only way the world can be saved." She walked to her to seal the other sword before Flash, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and two squares stood infront of Kenzan. "Stop this Mom!!" Twilight shouted. "Tell us more about the futures you saw! Then we-" "Flash." Calibur stopped her from continue. "I'm sealing your Sacred Sword as well." "Looks like she's not in the mood to talk." Sprit said as she hids behind a lamp poll. "But we're not going to let it happen!" The Square that sounds like Smolder shouted as she ready her sword as did Spike's Square ready his. "Alright." Twilight whisper. "Then we'll have to stop you for now." She told them as she, Flash, and Rainbow Dash took out their Wounder Ride Books. Flash and Twilight open up their Elemental Dragon books to reveal the story within. And now, join hands with that primordial power to become the mystical beast that will save all! Wonder Paladin After Flash and Twilight close their Elemental Dragon books, they took out their Primitive Dragon books and open them up to place the Elemental Dragon books in them. Elemental Dragon Get! They place them books in their drivers before Flash drew out his sword as Twilight and Rainbow Dash pressed the button on their drivers. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! "Henshin!" The three shouted as Flash slash his sword and both flames and wind covered both Twilight and Rainbow Dash as they transformed into their rider forms. ~CRACKING! CRUNCHING! BONE! ~FLARING ~FLARING ~BURN SHAKE HANDS!! ~Elemental Dragon! More and more elements makes for a formidable bond! ~Wonder Paladin! Saber, Ember, Whirlwind, and the two Squares charged at Calibur and her two paladins just as they charged at them. Their sowrds glowed as they clashed agenst one another. Saber and Ember took on Calibur, Whirlwind took on Umbra, and the two Squares took on Shade. Saber and Ember threw rocks at Calibur they hold each other in a lock. They broke free before they stuck Calibur with lightning as Whirlwind moved as fast the wind and slashed Umbra while the two Squares overpowered Shade. Both Saber and Ember use wind to push Calibur back a bit before she slashed at them with darkness. The five of them were able to overpower as they pushed the three back. Saber place his sword back his driver as Ember pulled the claws on her Primitive Dragon book just as Saber pushed the cover on his book back twice before Ember pressed the button on for their finisher. BETTER & BETTER FINISHING PASSAGE ELEMENTAL COMPOSITIONS STRIKE! Saber, Ember, Whirlwind, and the two Squares jumped high and came down with a five powerful Rider Kicks at Calibur, Shade, and Umbra. Their kicks landed and they were sent tumbling to the ground. "I'm sure there's a way to save the world without sealing the swords!" Saber shouted. "No, there isn't!" Calibur shouted as she, Shade, and Umbra got up from the ground. "I've seen all our potential futures... Just the same as my husband and Sombra must have..." "Dad and Sombra?" Ember asked when she heard that part. "And believe us, Sombra did see it and told us!" Shade shouted. "And so did your father when he took the Sword of Shadows and that's why we betrayed the guild!" Umbra shouted. "All to save the world from absolute destruction." "But because Sombra chose his methods poorly, he died without fulfilling his wish!" Calibur told them as they stood up. "That why I've returned and brought back Tirek and Chrysalis! I'm sure it was Night Light that sent me back here... To save this world's future in his place!" The three closed their books before they pressed the button on their drivers for a finisher. Jaou Finishing Passage Jaou Finishing Strike! They charged at the five before they slashed them. Flames covered both Saber and Ember as wind covered Whirlwind and the two Squares jumped out of the way. Both the flames and wind surrounded the three before they gathered above them and formed a flamnado before they struck them as it cane down. It sent them flying high into the wall and as they fell to the ground, they transformed out of their rider forms. Saber and the two paladins transformed back to Flash, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash as the Squares vanished and both Spike and Smolder came out from where they were hiding and they all came over to Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis. "Regardless of how you feel about this..." Velvet told them. "We will fulfill this mission we've been entrusted." The three stood up. "Even if it costs my life." The three then walked away from them. "Mom!" Twilight called out as they walked away but they continue on as Rainbow Dash helped up Wind from the ground. "WHY?!" Wind shouted to Velvet as they walked out of sight. "WHY DAMMIT?!" She knocked Rainbow off her and she slammed her fists on the ground. "I'm... I'm gonna get even stronger... Arabia... If I do, I'm sure you'll... tell me if Arabia... is alive or not..." "Wind..." Flash said as he and the others felt sorry for her. Wind got up and hold on to her sword that didn't get sealed as she lipped over to her other sword and picked it up as she walked away. Desast lower his sword down and walked away after he saw the hole thing. Soarin and Spitfire came just as the fight was over and saw everything and felt sorry as well before they looked up and saw Wonder World. They haven't seen it for a while, so they shook their heads before looking back up and saw nothing. They both figured that it was just their imagination. They soon returned to the Northern Base and told the others what happened. "Sorry Ocellus... looks like Twilight's not in the mood for writing right now." Sandbar said. "I know..." Ocellus said as she looked at both Flash and Twilight that are on the stairs. "No..." Twilight said. "I'm gonna start it. To close this tale..." She and Flash stood up from the stairs. "To save those suffering from books... And to return those after being turned into Megido... I will spin the tale of my and Flash's fight alongside our friends. They're separated from us right now... but Surge, Wind, my mom, Tirek, and Chrysalis will be a part of it." "Twilight..." Sunset said after hearing all that. Everyone agreed with her as they know they need one another to save the world. "Your mom won't be alone this time." Flash said. "We have to fight together to be able to change our doomed future! And as promised, we'll save your friend Star. Only we can decide...how this story ends." "The Omniscient Tome is mine." Logos said to himself as look at his book. "All that's left is the begin that connects our worlds." He began to laugh maniacally. The Story Continues > Volume 1, Chapter 29: At That Moment, the Swordsman Made His Move.  > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Up on a rooftop, we see botn Rarity, Sweetie Bell, and Surge looking out to the city. "The last time I met Flash and Twilight here..." Surge spoke as he remembers the last time they were here and how Twilight was talking Star told them about a dragon and how she and Flash wanted to save it. "Everything they said was ridiculous, like declaring they'd a dragon inside that story." "Yeah." Rarity said but just when she about something, Surge continue on. "But in the end, they really did save the dragon, and overcame Primitive Dragon's berserk state." He said as he remembers their new Elemental Dragon form. "Flash and Twilight are amazing. And now...It's my turn." Rarity and Sweetie Bell looked at him and wonder what he meant by that. "So you're saying..." Rarity said and Surge nodded yes to what she's about to ask. "My heart's settled on fighting alongside you, Flash, Twilight and the others." He told Rarity and Sweetie Bell. "Finally! You'll add a hundred people's worth of strength!" Rarity told him. "Now let's hurry and go back to everyone, Darling!" "But before that, I need to settle things as a swordsman of the organisation." Surge told them. "Alright." Rarity said before she looked at Sweetie Bell. "Sweetie, you go back and tell the others that I'm going with Surge are going to tell the organisation that he's leaving." She turned back to Surge. "I'm not going to let you go alone. Who knows what might happen if you tell them that you're leaving the organisation." "Okay. We'll have eclairs waiting for you then!" Sweetie Bell told Surge. Surge kneeled down to Sweetie Bell and hold her hands. "Thank you." He before he looked at Rarity. "Both of you." Rarity nodded before the two headed off for the Southern Base. At the Southern Base, in the throne room. Mist and Starlight stands before Master Logos as he sits in his throne. "The soul dwelling within the tale of sorrow has now been saved, creating Elemental Dragon as a result." Logos told the two. "Next is the book resting in the Northern Base." Both Mist and Starlight bowed. "Understood." They both said. "I am looking forward to this." Logos said with a smile on his face. "And what of Calibur and her paladins?" Mist asked. "Left to their own devices, more swords may be sealed." "Not a problem." Wave said as he and Sunburst walked out. "Simply defeat her and claim the Sword of Shadows." "Sonic Wave...!" Mist said with a smile when she saw him. "Precisely." Logos agreed with Wave. "What's important are the swords. The swordsmen themselves are expendable." He said to himself. At the Northern Base, Sweetie Bell told everyone that Surge is coming back and Flash ran down the stairs. "Is Surge really...?" Flash asked and Sweetie Bell nodded yes. "He said he's gonna join forces with us again!" Sweetie Bell told them. "That's good to hear...!" Twilight said. "Yeah, total joy..." Rainbow Dash said as she holds her Paladin Ride Book that is partially darkened. "I can't believe that I have to not use this or I won't use it anymore!" "Why's he not with you then? And where's your sister?" Terra asked Sweetie Bell. "He wanted to settle a few things apparently and Rarity went with him just to make sure he's safe." Sweetie Bell answered. "What do you mean by "settle"?" Sunset asked. "You don't think he..." Terra asked as he sounded worry. "Agreed. It's possible." Beat said. "W-wait, hang on..." Fluttershy said. "What is it?" "Surge's going to try uncover the true enemy on his own!" Flash said. "And Rarity went with him knowing that and to make sure he doesn't get killed!" Twilight said as we see both Surge and Rarity walk through a hall in the Southern Base. "We got to go to the Southern Base!" "I mean, we'd love to but..." Terra said. "The connections to our Book Gates have been long severed." Beat finished what Terra was about to say as she took out her Book Gate. "With their barrier up, there's no other way." "No, there actually is." Light said from the top of the stairs and everyone looked up at her. "That old friend of mine went to see Master Logos at the Southern Base recently." "An old friend of a thousand year old Sword of Light...?" Beat asked. Both Flash and Twilight thought for a moment before they knew who Light who she was talking about. "Could it be..." Both Flash and Twilight said to each as they thought about Tassel. "There should be a path of light he made to pass the barrier." Light told them. "Humans can't usually use it, but you can with me there. But that means only one can go." "I'll go!" Flash volunteer. "Oi, I can't keep up here!" Terra shouted. "Off we go here." Light said as she puts on her driver and took out her Wonder Ride Book and open it. Gold or Sliver? She then placed the book in her driver and pulled out her sword from it as the book open up and her body turned into dust and went into the sword as she transformed into the Sword of Light. Release the Radiance! ~Who is the Shining Sword? The sword flew down to Flash after she transformed. "I'll look for the entrance. Make sure you don't let go." The sword told Flash. "Ok!" Flash said before he took hold of the handle. Just before it took off, Twilight held on to Flash with Sprit in her pocket. They were whisk away out of the Northern Base real fast and the others were both shocked and surprise by that. "The sky sure feels great!" The sword shouted as they fly through the skies. "Wait, hang on!!" Flash shouted as he and Twilight hold on for dear life. At this point, Twilight now knows how Spike felt when he did this. Meanwhile in the Southern Base, both Surge and Rarity was being careful not to get caught as they saw Mist go through a door. "Where is she headed...?" Rarity asked. "Let's find out..." Surge said as they walked down the stairs and followed Mist. Mist walked down a hall before she stopped and turned to three red ribbons on a wall. Mist then hold up her Book Gate and open it. Book Gate Open the Gate Surge and Rarity watch as a Book Gate open up from those ribbons and Mist walked through it before it closed behind her. Surge and Rarity went over to the three red ribbons on the wall as Surge took out his Gattrike Phone. He placed his phone on the wall and both him and Rarity listen closely to what's on the other side. "Today's the day you tell us, Sophia." They heard Mist say and they were shocked to hear that. "Sophia is through here...?" Surge whispered. "So it was Mist that kidnapped her." Rarity whispered before they continue to listen. "Tell us where the book containing the secret art of generating humans lies." Mist told Sophia. "I have no intention of telling you." Sophia responded. "And I've tired to hearing that." Mist told Sophia as she walked closer. "This is your final warning. No more." Mist soon left Sophia in that room and walked down the hall. Surge and Rarity came out from where they were hiding when Mist left and Surge went up to the wall. "Sophia... I'm sorry for being blind all this time..." Surge said as he felt sorry about all this. "I promise I will save you." "To think, these ruffians were the ones who took Sophia..." Rarity said before they went on their way. "There's the entrance!" Saikou said as the three made it to the South Pole. "Can you go a bit sl-" Twilight was about to ask before they went down. "Wait, that way?!" The three as they crashed infront of the Southern Base. "Here's the path of light." Saikou said as Flash and Twilight hugged each other to keep warm. "I-it's bloody freezing...! It's so cold, cold, cold...!" Sprit shouted from Twilight's pocket as she shivered. "Let's go!" Saikou said as the sword created a hole in the barrier and they stepped through. In the throne room, Surge kneeled down infront of Master Logos while Rarity is hiding behind a pillar. "Master, I have something to report..." Surge said. "What is it?" Logos asked him. "The traitor within our ranks is Ruby Mist!" Surge told him. "She has Sophia captive!" "Sabela is a sword most loyal to our cause." Logos said. Surge raised his head after he heard what Logos just told him. Rarity eyes widened by that as well. "With all the Sacred Swords and Wonder Ride Books gathered, the Omniscient Tome will be restored for the first time in 2000 years. And its grand power will be mine." "Wait! That goes against our organisation's principles!" Surge shouted. "Principles?" Logos asked him. "Those are utterly meaningless. And your paladin can come out from where she's hiding." After Rarity came out from her hiding spot, Logos continue. "I will lead both this world and Equestria to their rightful path. That right belongs to me." "Twilight was right about you..." Rarity said. "You're the true enemy... Your the traitor..." "Are the sages aware of this...?" Surge asked only for Logos to laugh at him. "I had those decrepit fools eliminated." Logos told them as he looked at the empty seats next to him. "How could you...?" Surge asked. "Those who betray our organisation's sense of justice must not be forgiven!" He shouted as he stood up and had a angry look on his face. "Even if that person is the Master himself...!" He and Rarity took out their Lion Senki and Wonder Paladin books out. Lion Senki Wonder Paladin They place them in their drivers before Surge draw out his sword as Rarity press the button on her driver and their books opened up as they transformed into their rider forms. Unsheathe the Current! Paladin Stand! ~Lion Senki ~Wonder Paladin "I made a vow to the Sword of Currants, Nagare that I would protect this world's balance!!" Blades declared. "And I promise to protect my friends with flare and dazzle!!" Aqua declared as they ready their swords. Before they could charge at Logos, a sword stopped them. "You stand before his holiness." Wave told them. "This is no place for fools to brandish their swords." He used his sword and slashed the two. Jikokuken Kaiji "You two should have never poked your noises where they don't belong." Sunburst told them. "Who are you two?!" Blades asked the two. "The Swordsmen closest to the Master: Sonic Wave and Sunburst." Wave answered Blades. ""Wave and Sunburst"...?" Aqua asked. "Otherwise known as, Kamen Rider Durandal and Kamen Rider Stream." Wave told them as he and Sunburst took out their Wounder Ride Books and opened them. Ocean History The many lives resting beneath our deep blue waves continue to weave our history from times past into the present. Wonder Paladin They close their books and Wave place his book in his sword while Sunburst place his in his Paladin Driver. Wave then hold up his sword and separate the blade from the gard before he rotated his arms and place his blade back in to where it's in its spear mode and the book open up. Sunburst press the button on his driver and his book open up. Their books glowed and they stood in the middle of a library with water surrounding them as giant versions of their books opened up behind them and Wave slashed his sword as a school of fish covered them. Reversing the Edge of Time Paladin Stand Time. Time, time, time, time, time... "Henshin." They both said as they transformed into Kamen Rider Durandal and Kamen Rider Stream. EMBODIES OUR BEING! ~OCEAN HISTORY-EEEEEAH! ~Wonder Paladin! The ocean goes splish and splash! Stream form look similar to Durandal, but his helmet had only the trident on it with no fin with two others on the shoulders. Their are shark fins on the forearms and his sword has a white blade with a black handle with a ocean blue stone in the gard. Both Blades and Aqua ready their swords when they saw them transformed. Durandal took out his blade out of its guard as Stream press the button on the handle on his sword as did Durandal. Kaiji Erasure In a splash of water, the four was out of the throne room and in a different part of the Southern Base and both Blades and Aqua are on the ground and hurt. "What just happened?!" Blades asked as the two struggle to get up. "Weren't we just in the throne room?!" Aqua asked before they looked around and saw that both Durandal and Stream were gone and they were in a different room. "How did we...?" Just then, Durandal and Stream appeared behind them and they clashed blades with them. "Rebellion against the Master is a grave sin!" Durandal declared as they clashed blades. When he brought his spear down on them, Blades and Aqua jumped out of the way. "Now you will pay with your life!" He and Stream brought their swords up and clashed blades with Blades and Aqua. "I already laid my life down long ago!" Blades told Durandal while they lock blades before Durandal and Stream pushed them back and they struck them with their handles and pushed back. "But it was for a virtuous organisation I believed in!" He then took out his Wonder Ride Book and placed it on the tip of his sword to scanned it as did Aqua with hers. Lion! Hmm, hmmm! Paladin! Hmmm, hmmm! As he did that, Durandal and Stream did what they did before with their swords. Kaiji Erasure Blades and Aqua then send two slash waves right at them only for them to be where they were after a splash of water. Durandal and Stream then press the button on their swords again for them to appear next to them before they stuck them. Reset Kaiji The two fell to the ground after that attack before they got up. "Was that teleportation?" Aqua asked. In a different part of the base, a door of light open up and the Saikou dragged Flash and Twilight through it. "I'm sure Surge and Rarity will be wherever Master Logos is." Twilight told Flash and Saikou. "Likely." Saikou agree with Twilight before they went to go look for them. Meanwhile back at the fight, Durandal took out his blade from the gard and both he and Stream pressed the button on the handles. Kaiji Erasure They then appeared behind Blades and Aqua before they struck them from behind. When they try to strike back, they disappear and reappear behind them again before they slashed them before they disappear again. They were infront of Blades and Aqua when they reappear before they slashed them again. While this happening, a ripple happened and made Flash, Twilight, Sprit, and Saikou appeared in a different place like they were fast forward. "What just happened?!" Sprit asked. "How'd we get here...?" Flash asked as they are confused by what just happened. In the throne room, Logos had an evil grin on his face. Back with the fight, Durandal and Stream reappear behind Blades and Aqua as Durandal place his blade back in the gard and they both press the button on the handles again. Reset Kaiji They then slashed both Blades and Aqua from behind and they stumbled forward by their attacks. "I can't read where their attacks will come from..." Blades told Aqua. "How can we defend or attack...?" Aqua asked Blades. "I don't know! Think!" Blades respond as they face Durandal and Stream. "There has to be a way!" Meanwhile Flash, Twilight, Saikou, and Sprit sneak their way through the base as they look for Surge and Rarity. Soon a ripple happened again and they appear on the second floor. "Again?" Twilight asked as Saikou glowed and she returned back to her human form. "Something odd's going on." Light told them. "But we gotta keep moving." Twilight said. "Let's split up. Me, Flash, and Sprit will go this way." The three headed off. "Alright, this way for me then." Light said as she went the opposite way. Back with the fight, Blades and Aqua scan their books with their swords again. Lion! Hmm, hmmm! Paladin! Hmm, hmmm! Learning Flash! They send slash waves right at Durandal and Stream, but a ripple cause them to disappear just before the two slash waves hit them. Kaiji Erasure Blades and Aqua appeared in a different part of the room while Durandal and Stream reappear behind them as Durandal place his blade back in the gard and press the button as did Stream pressed the button on his sword. Reset Kaiji They then slashed both Blades and Aqua from behind and delt a huge amount of damage that they transformed back to Surge and Rarity before they fell to the ground. Flash and Twilight came down the stairs where Surge and Rarity to find them on the ground. "Surge!! Rarity!!" Both Flash and Twilight called out when they saw them on the ground. "Don't tell me..." Sprit said as she is afraid that they're dead. Just before Flash and Twilight could get over to them, Durandal and Stream caught their attention. "So you've come, Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle." Durandal said as Flash and Twilight took out their Elemental Dragon Books and drivers. And now, join hands with that primordial power to become the mystical beast that will save all! They close their Elemental Dragon books and took out their Primitive Dragon books to place those books in them. Elemental Dragon GET! They then place their books in their drivers before Flash drew out his sword as Twilight pressed the button on her driver and their books opened up. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! "Henshin!" They both shouted as Flash slash his sword and flames covered Twilight as they transformed into their rider forms. ~ELEMENTAL DRAGON! More and more elements makes for a formidable bond! Saber and Ember ready their swords before they charge at Durandal and Stream. They clashed blades before Durandal and Stream pushed Saber and Ember back into a different part of the base. Durandal and Stream swung their swords at Saber and Ember but they ducked under their attacks before they clashed blades with them. Durandal thrust his sword forward at Saber as Stream try to strike at Ember, but they dodged their attacks before they clashed blades. Durandal spun Saber around and punch him in the face as Stream kicked Ember in the stomach before they struck them with their swords. "What did you do to Surge and Rarity?!" Ember asked the two. "A simple passing of judgement on a traitor and trespasser." Durandal said as he took out the blade from the gard. He and Stream pressed the button on the handles and they appeared behind them. Kaiji Erasure Durandal then place his blade back in the gard and press the button on the handle. Reset Kaiji Just as Saber and Ember turned around, both Durandal and Stream swung their swords at them just as they turned into flames before they reformed a few feet away. "They cut us...?" Saber asked. "What were those attacks...?" Ember asked. "Judgement time has come for you too." Stream told them as Durandal took out the blade out of its guard and they pressed the button on the handles. Kaiji Erasure A ripple of water made them disappeared and reappear infront of Saber and Ember. Just before they slashed them, Saber and Ember turned into water just as they made contact. Just as Durandal and Stream try to strike them when they reformed, they turned into air to dodge their attacks. When Durandal and Stream try to strike them again, they brought up rocks to block the attacks. "They cut us again...?" Ember asked as she and Saber felt the attacks. "I see. What meddlesome powers." Durandal said as he pulled out his blade out again and press the button again. Kaiji Erasure Saber and Ember saw that both Durandal and Stream was holding Surge and Rarity hostage. "Hand over ever Sacred Sword and book in your possession." Durandal demand. Just then, both Surge and Rarity regain conscious and saw Saber and Ember with Sprit floating near them. "Flash...! Twilight...! Sprit...!" Surge and Rarity said when they saw them. "Surge! Rarity!" All three of them shouted to them before Durandal and Stream took the two by the neck. "Now, your swords and books if you will." Durandal said as he and Stream hold Surge and Rarity. "Don't do it!" Sprit shouted to Saber and Ember. "The world needs you two!" Both Saber and Ember knows they can't give up Rekka, Ikazuchi, and their books. But if they don't, they might kill Surge and Rarity. Saber then placed his sword back in his driver before he and Ember closed their books before they took them out of their drivers and transformed out of their rider forms. Durandal and Stream let go of Surge and Rarity and let them fall to the ground. "What are you doing here...?!" Surge asked them while he and Rarity are on the ground. "We came to help." Flash answer Surge. "WHY?!" Surge shouted at them. "We made a promise!!" Twilight shouted at him. "All of us will always trust and help each other... as family-in-arms, and friends." "I always trusted in the organisation..." Surge said. "The organisation was everything to me... Even family... But, all of it... It was all a delusion... What the hell have I even been fighting for ALL THIS TIME?!" He began to cry as all everything that he known about the Sword of Logos have been for nothing. "I don't want to be a liability. Take Rarity, leave me, and just fight! Destroy the organisation! Just destroy it all..." "Are you..." Flash spoke up. "Are you seriously saying that?" He asked Surge only for him not to answer. "ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS?!" "OF COURSE I DON'T MEAN IT!!" Surge shouted. "I'm just frustrated... I want to make things right in the organisation... I WANT TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT!" "Not quite." Flash told Surge. "WE will set the organisation straight. Right?" "Flash..." Surge said as he looked up to him. "Your time is up." Durandal told them as he and Stream ready they swords to end both Surge and Rarity. "WAIT!" Both Flash and Twilight shouted just before Durandal and Stream could end Surge and Rarity. They looked at them as Flash took off his driver with his sword still in it. They were too focused on each other, they didn't see Sprit fly off to find Light. Twilight then pulled out Ikazuchi before she and Flash place their drivers and the sword on the floor. "Twilight... Flash..." Rarity said as she them did what just did. "Why? Why are you doing this for someone like me?!" Surge asked them. "Even now..." Flash spoke. "We still want to fight alongside you, Surge!" "But..." Surge spoke as Flash and Twilight gave a smile. "You're strong." Flash told Surge. "Your conviction and pride as a swordsman are unmatched! I like that part of you. That's why we can't afford to let you die here. Let's go home...back to our friends." Surge began to cry over how his friends care about him. Soon both Flash and Twilight place their Wounder Ride Books on the floor, and they saw Sprit returned behind the two riders as she pointed to the side where Light was and ready to transform. "Everything's alright." Flash told Surge. "Believe in us." Just then a ripple happened again their drivers, books, and the sword vanished. Kaiji Erasure Reset Kaiji When Flash and Twilight looked, they saw them infront of Durandal and Stream. "Take your last breath, Swordsman of Water." Durandal said as he ready to kill Surge. "But we had a deal with them!" Stream told Durandal, but he didn't listen to Stream as brought his sword down. Release the Radiance! Saikou came in and blocked his attack and pushed them back. "Let there be light!" The sword shouted as it shine bright before the Shadow appear. ~Who is This? Saikou Second Chapter The shadow born from the light: Shadow! The shadow the clashed blades with both Durandal and Stream before it slashed both of them. "Surge! Rarity!" Both Flash and Twilight shouted as they went over to them. After they helped them up, they picked up Flash's driver, Ikazuchi, and the Wonder Ride Books up. "Get your Book Gate out!" Saikou told Surge. "Understood!" Surge said before he took out his Book Gate and open it. Book Gate Open the Gate "Let's go guys!" Sprit shouted to them as the Book Gate appeared and open up. "Everyone's waiting!" Reset Kaiji Just before they could go through it, a ripple happened again and both Flash and Twilight felt pain go through them. The others saw both Durandal and Stream behind Flash and Twilight as they into Surge's and Rarity's arms. "Flash! Twilight!" Both Surge and Rarity shouted as they caught them and saw a cut on their backs. "Flash!! Twilight!!" Surge shouted. In the hidden room in the base, Sophia put her hands together as she pray for her friends. "Please stay safe everyone..." Sophia prayed. When she opened her eyes, she saw Calibur here and she slashed her sword and destroy the barrier that kept Sophia prisoner. When it was down, Calibur walked over to Sophia. "Calibur. Night Light?" Calibur closed her book in her driver and took it out to transform back to Velvet. "Ember?!" Sophia shouted in shocked to see Velvet as Calibur. "Why are you...?" Velvet walked over to Sophia. Back with the others, Flash and Twilight were on the ground as Surge and Rarity hold them. The Shadow took out the X-Swordswoman book and open up. X-Swordswoman Episode One: Fight with all the colours! The shadow closed the book and place it in the Saikou Driver before it hit the button with the sword. Release the Radiance ~X-Swordswoman! Episode One: With Saikou now in her rider form, she charged and clashed blades with both Durandal and Stream. They lock blades before Saikou pushed them away from the others before Durandal and Stream pulled back and thrust their swords at Saikou. Saikou pushed them back before she brought her sword down on them but they dodged her attack. Durandal then pulled out his blade from the gard before he charged it from its spear mode back to sword mode. Sword Interval He then pulled out the blade out of its guard and put it back in as Stream place his sword in the hold on his belt and press the button. Saikou close the book on her driver before she opened the cover and press the button with her sword for the finisher. Finish Reading The Most Colourful! Ocean Immediate Slash!

Flash said before he and Twilight hold up their Elemental Dragon books to them. "Use these..." Blades and Aqua took their Elemental Dragon books from them and Aqua nodded to Blades. "Alright...!" Blades said as he puts his sword back in his driver and both he and Aqua closed their books and took them out of their drivers.

Blades drew out his sword as Aqua press the button on her driver and the two books opened up. Better Better Unsheathe! Better Better Stand! Both Blades and Aqua glowed as the two Elemental Dragon books power up their element of water. ~Elemental More & More! Their entire bodies turned into a giant flow of water as they attack both Durandal and Stream. ~Sharing-mental More & More! ~Better-mental More & More! The two flows of water flew in the air as both Durandal and Stream rolled on the ground as the two flows of water grabbed Saikou, Sprit, Flash, and Twilight and escaped through the Book Gate. ~Ele-Better! "You aren't getting away!" Durandal shouted as he try to chase after them but the Book Gate closed before he could go through it. They soon returned to the Northern Base with Light and Surge carrying Flash while Rarity carried Twilight through the door. "Flash! Twilight!" Spike shouted when he and the others saw them and everyone ran over to them. "Surge! Rarity, what happened?!" "We'll explain later! Flash and Twilight needs help first!" Surge shouted. "No, normal treatment won't help." Light told them. "I'll do what I can." She said as she hold her hands over both of Flash's and Twilight's wounds on their backs as they glowed. "Flash, Twilight, are you both feeling alright?" Sunset asked them. "Flash and Twilight would never die!" Surge said. "But if they follows us, we're finished." Light told them. "True. The Northern Base is completely vulnerable without its barrier!" Terra said. Everyone didn't know what to do if they can't defend against the Southern Base. "Do not worry yourselves." Sophia told them as she walked out to the balcony on top of the stairs. "Sophia!" Terra shouted when they all saw her. "Sophia...!" Surge said as he and Rarity were shocked to see her here. "The barrier has already been raised." Sophia told them. "Nothing will be able to breach our Northern Base." The Story Continue > Volume 1, Chapter 30: Bonded, Even When Apart.  > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As we open to the meeting room in the Northern Base, we see Surge stand infront of his friends as they wait for him to say something. Surge took a moment to find his words before he finally spoke. "The true foe was Master Logos. He declared that: "With all the Sacred Swords and Wonder Ride Books gathered, the Omniscient Tome will be restored for the first time in the 2000 years. And its grand powers will be mine."" "Looks like you were right Twilight." Spike said. "Now we know exactly who our enemies are." Flash said to others. "And it was all thanks to Surge and Rarity!" Pinkie Pie shouted with excitement. Everyone looked at Pinkie Pie for a bit before everyone smile but Surge, who looked down with a sad look on his face. "So the organisation truly was void of justice." Light spoke up. "Sombra and Night Light's betrayals make more sense with the Master behind them." Terra said. "We're making an enemy of the entire organisation by taking on Master Logos." Shining Armor pointed out. "But now we have Sophia and Surge back with us." Twilight said. "Not only that, but we have each other!" Silverstream said with excitement. "Thanks to Terra's training, we gotten stronger!" "Yep, and both Spike and Smolder are trying to put their switch to human to dog into battle." Apple Bloom said. "Exactly. And I'll have our swords in top condition." Beat said. "Let's stop Master Logos together." Flash said to everyone in the room before he turned to Surge. "Right, Surge?" When he pat Surge's shoulder, Surge stepped back. "I'm so sorry!" Surge shouted as he bowed. "I obsessed over my belief in the organisation, rather than trying to trust you all... Even so, I ask that you allow me to fight by your side once again!" "Surge..." Flash said. "It's fine." Rarity told Surge. "The organisation was a family to you, weren't they?" "Still..." Surge said. "But you have us now!" Pinkie Pie shouted with joy. "Right, Surge?" "Come on, was that even necessary?" Light asked. "Exactly!" Terra shouted. "We're counting on your help in the fight to come, Surge!" "Now you're free to go all out, Surge!" Beat said as she brought Surge his sword. "Blades." Sophia spoke up with a smile. "Everything's alright, Surge." Flash told him. "All of you..." Surge said as he began to tear up. "That's right!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she went over to the table and brought him a pastry box. "How about this?" She opened the box to show Surge it's filled with desserts. Everyone but Surge was amazed by the desserts that were in the box. "I did promise we'd have these waiting." "You haven't had one before right?" Applejack asked Surge. "Serious?!" Terra asked in shocked by that. "His first eclair!" Beat said in surprise as Light walked up. "My first too." Light said as she reached to take one, only for Rarity to slap it away. "Surge's first." Rarity told Light. "Here you go!" Pinkie Pie said as she offered him some. Surge didn't take one as everyone told him to try one. "Come on! How about this then!" Beat said as she grabbed Surge's arm and made him take one. "Say aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" Sprit said as they hold one up to his mouth. With it so close to his mouth, Surge took a bit of the dessert. "And?" She asked as Surge eat that one bite. "It's... kind of salty." Surge said and everyone laugh. "Salty?" Sandbar ask as they laugh. "That's right! I got something for the rest of us..." Pinkie Pie said as she back up. "Pinkie?" Sunset asked Pinkie back up before she ran to the back. "Hang on, what's up?" "Secret! Hey Rarity, I could use a hand." Pinkie Pie respond before she and Rarity went to the back. What ever she has planned, they decided not to question Pinkie Pie. At the Megido lar, Zooous was itching to fight Surge. "He's mine this time." He said to himself. "The Swordsman of Water appears to have returned to the Northern Base." Storious told Zooous. "I got a bone to pick with him." Zooous said with a furious tone in his voice. "Sorry, but the Sacred Swords come first." Storious told Zooous. "By joining this world and Equestria with Wonder World, we can remake the world as we see fit." "Fine by me." Zooous said as he stood up and a rainbow bubble appeared. It shows him Pinkie Pie and Rarity in the book shop. "I'll get them." At the book shop, Rarity helped Pinkie for what she has planned, she heard something and when she look up at the ceiling she saw Wonder World. She freaked out when he saw it just as Pinkie Pie went back through the Book Gate. Back at the Northern Base, the others were disgusting about what they're going to about Master Logos as they get Sophia up to speed. "Master Logos has the two sword-wielders Ruby Mist and Sonic Wave, along with their paladins Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst at his command." Flash told Sophia. "But we think that this Starlight is up to something because she helped us before." Sunset pointed out. "Ruby being the Swordswoman of Smoke makes her a pain, since physical attacks don't work." Terra added as he remembers when he and Beat first fought her and Starlight. When they try to attack them, both Sabela and Steam kept turning into smoke and attack back. "Sonic Wave; Durandal attacks by teleporting." Surge told everyone as he remembers when he and Rarity face Wave and Sunburst and each time they try to attack them, they somehow moved to one place after Durandal took out the blade out of its guard and they were some place else. "I was powerless against them... Sorry Flash and Twilight. It was my fault that-" "It's all right." Twilight told Surge. "Me and Flash are fine thanks to Light." "His techniques are puzzling since I've never seen his sword before." Light told them. "But it wasn't just those two teleporting." Sprit spoke up. "When we were trying to find you two, a ripple kept happening and we ended up in a different place. Like down the hall or on the second floor, like time was moving forward for us." "It's likely the Sword of Time." Beat said after hearing what they said. "There's a Sword of Time?" Gallus asked. "So he and Sunburst can manipulate time?" Cozy asked. "Not exactly, based on what I've heard..." Beat said. "I don't know much either." "Is Sword of Time a new sword just made?" Yona asked. "Whatever his powers, we'll get him next time." Flash said. "Right, Surge?" Surge nodded in agreement. "Master Logos already possesses a portion of the Omniscient Tome." Sophia told them. "Each successor has inherited its great power." "The Megido are likely getting closer to the Omniscient Tome as well." Twilight told Sophia. "Missing people are still increasing..." Spitfire told them. "The same goes for the creatures in Equestria..." Sunset added. "We'll definitely save the people and creatures who've been turned into books." Twilight said. "Right now only the Sword of Light can separate them but..." Beat said as she looked at Light. "Flash and Twilight can too." "At the time, we were just fixated on saving them." Flash said as he and Twilight remembers how Rekka glowed when they separated the victims from the Megido. "Did Rekka respond to both your feelings...?" Beat asked both Flash and Twilight. "Whatever it is, I'm sure Flash, Twilight, and Rekka can save them." Surge looked at Flash and Twilight with a bit of a jealous look on his face. "I'm gonna check up on a friend of mine I lost contact with." Light told them as she headed for the door. "Hang on, we can't separate Megido without you!" Terra shouted at Light. "My friend is crucial to our victory." Light told them. "Besides, didn't you just say Flash and Twilight could do it?" She asked before she walked out. "Yeah, but..." Surge said but Light was already out. "We must prevent the Omniscient Tome's restoration at all costs." Sophia told them. "Those who now reside here are the true Swordsmen who will protect the world. Buster, please find and bring Kenzan back to us. I will meet with Calibur and her two paladins." That last sentence surprised everyone. "Oi, Sophia..." Terra spoke up to her. "I won't be as reckless." Sophia told Terra before he could finish. "Please trust me." "Alright. Leave Wind to me." Terra said as he picked up his sword and headed out just as Pinkie Pie came in. "Speaking of which, where has Cadence gone?" Sophia asked. Everyone wonder why she wants to know. "Turth be told, I entrusted something important to her." "Something important?" Sunset asked. "Do y'all mean that fancy key you gave her?" Apple Bloom asked Sophia, who nodded yes before she glowed a bit and felt pain in her chest. "A Megido has appeared." Sophia told them. "I will go." Surge said before he headed out. "Surge! Me and Twilight are coming too!" Flash said as he and Twilight followed Surge out. In the city, a Megido was howling to the sky, along with a see through one next to it. It's the Neko Megid. The two had a group of people corner and frightened. Surge, Flash, and Twilight ran to them with their drivers on with their books in them. "Henshin!" They shouted as Flash and Surge drew out their swords and Twilight pressed the button on her driver and their books opened up. Unsheathe the Current! Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! With Surge in his Lion Daisenki form and both Saber and Ember in their Elemental Dragon forms, they ran up to the Neko Megid and try to strike it, but she jumped over and behind them before she kicked them back. The second Neko Megid then burst out dark energy and then the pony counterparts of the people and even Flash Sentry and Princess Twilight appeared as the second Megid became solid. When they turned to face the two Megido, they were gone. The two Neko Megid jumped behind the three and stuck them to the ground. "How dare you interrupt our crafting!" Both Neko Megid told them before they swung their staffs and send slash waves at the riders. Blades blocked one of them as Saber and Ember slashed back as the two Megido continue to attack. Blades was knocked back before Saber and Ember gathered the flames around them and the slash waves before they send them at the two Megid. Both Neko Megid hissed at Saber and Ember as the two riders charged at them. "Flash and Twilight are amazing!" Blades said when he saw what they did. "When did they..." Saber and Ember clashed blades with the two Neko Megid before they spun around the two riders and try to strike them from. Both Saber and Ember ducked under their attacks and try to sweep their legs, only for the Neko Megid to jump over them and clashed with the two riders. Saber and Ember then pushed the two Megido to the ground with the help of their pony counterparts. The two Megido got up and clashed clashed blades with the two riders. "They're even stronger I remember..." Blades said as he watch them fight. "I also need to-" He placed his sword back his driver as the two Neko Megid jumped over Saber and Ember. They flipped back before they hiss at both riders and ponies. Saber and Ember charged at the two Megid and try to slash them, but they jumped over them to dodge their attacks. But Blades caught both of them before they could land and all three crashed on to the ground. The two Megido try to get away, but Blades hold on to them as they struggle to get him off. "Flash! Twilight, there's a regular homo-sapiens and a equestrian trapped within these Megido, right?" Blades asked as he tried to hold on. "Right. We gotta save them by separating them!" Saber said as he and Ember ready their swords as Rekka began to glow bright and its flow to Ember's swords. "Your swords are glowing!" Princess Twilight shouted when she saw them glow. "Do it!" Blades shouted as Saber and Ember charged at the two Megid and just before they were about to strike them, they saw people and ponies trapped in the chains on the two Neko Megid. The three riders and two ponies were shocked to see that as the trapped people and ponies called for help. Both Saber and Ember stopped before they brought their swords down as they fear they might hurt the people and ponies if they strike. "Why are-" Ember said as she and Saber fell to the ground when they try to stop just as the two Neko Megid got free from Blades's grip and back kicked him. "That's right, we made these from humans and Equestrians." One of the Neko Megid told them. "What will happen if you attack us I wonder?" The second Neko Megid asked sarcastically. "How cowardly...!" Both Blades and Flash said. ""If I asked him who the cowardly one really was, fighting because he didn't trust his friends...what kind of face he make~?"" The first Neko Megid said like she was quoting something someone said before. "What...?!" Blades asked when he heard what they just said. "That's what she saying." One of the Neko Megid told them before they glowed and turned into the human and pony they have. It was Rarity of both worlds as they fell to the ground. "Rarity...?" Blades asked when he saw her and her pony counterpart. "Why...?!" Saber, Ember, Flash, and Princess Twilight asked as they were shocked to see them. Both Raritys looked at them with confusion before they transformed back into the Neko Megid and stood up. "Now what~?" The second Neko Megid asked. Blades was getting furious with this news. "How...How dare you do this to her!!" Blades shouted as he drew out his sword and charged at the two Megido. "Wait!" Saber called out to Blades as he ran to stop him. "If you cut it down, Rarity will-" He tried to tell Blades just before he could strike and push him back. "Nice of you to notice~" Both Neko Megid told Saber before they kicked off of his back and leap over the two. Those kicks caused both Saber and Blades to fall to the ground while the two Neko Megid run away after they stuck Ember back. "You two are not getting away!" Blades shouted as he and Saber quickly got back up and try to go after them, only for Zooous to get in the way and struck them back. "No one's going to save her!" Zooous shouted. "MOVE!" Blades shouted back as he charged at Zooous. When he got close, Zooous slashed his sword and struck Blades. "Especially not you!" Zooous shouted as clashed swords with Blades before he struck him again. Blades was knocked to the ground as he transformed back to Surge infront of Saber, Ember, Flash, and Princess Twilight. "Surge!" Saber said as he and the others checked to see if he's okay. "Your Sacred Swords are mine!" Zooous declared as he charged up his sword with power before he send a slash wave right at them. Saber and Ember quickly stood infront of the slash that is coming at them and try to block, only for a dome to form around. "Once I've had my fun with you that is." He said before he walked away while the dome cept them in place. Soon the dome vanished and the Megido got away. As both Saber and Ember transformed back to Flash and Twilight, Surge yelled out in frustration as he slammed his fist on the ground. "Surge..." Twilight said as she and Flash got concerned for him. Back at the Northern Base, Beat had her Gatrike Phone out and Twilight told them what happened. "This has taken a turn for the worse." Sophia said with concern. "Equestrians have been brought here when their counterparts have disappeared whenever those Megido appeared!" Beat said. "They are turning people and ponies into accessories." Twilight told them over the phone as she, Flash, their pony counterparts, and Surge went to look for the two Neko Megid. "Also Rarity-" Surge quickly took her phone before she could finish. "Where is Light?!" Surge shouted into the phone. "She's not back, and we can't reach her." Beat answer Surge. "The others are out and helping search the city though." Inside Tassel's house, we see Light in there looking for Tassel. "Strange..." She said. "Did something happen?" "What is she doing at a time like this?!" Surge shouted before Twilight took her phone back. "What's wrong Surge?!" Flash asked him. "Same to the two of! Why are you so calm?!" Surge asked the four. "We need to save both Raritys as soon as possible!" "We know that!" Both Twilights told him. "Do you really!?" Surge asked. "She'll be erased if we don't split her from the Megido right?! And Light isn't-" "Surge, calm down!" Flash told him. "That's right, you two can save them can't you?" Surge asked. "You both can?" Pony Flash asked his human counter and Sic-Twi. "But we've never completely separated-" Sci-Twi said before Surge interrupted. "FINE, I'll save her then!" He shouted as he ran ahead of them. "Wait, Surge!" Flash called out as they went after him. Back at the Northern Base, Sophia and Beat heard everything over the phone and were concerned. "Please excuse us!" Sic-Twi told them before she hung up. "Surge's too on edge. Not that I can blame him." Beat said to Sophia. "For now, all we can do is believe in them." Sophia said. Surge is running through the park as he remembers how Flash's sword can separate the victims of the Megido. "Me too...! I promise to save Rarity." He said to himself as he ran. The two Flashs and Twilights lost Surge as they looked around for him. "Surge..." Human Flash said as he worry about Surge. Zooous returned to the Megido lar as he sits in a chair. "Why didn't you finish-" Storious was about to ask before Zooous interrupted. "Let me have a bit more fun dammit!" Zooous shouted before he stood up. "My blood is crying out...! It's telling me to pulverise them thoroughly first!" "Hands off!" Wind shouted at Desast as they walked on the beach. "You wanna get stronger right?" Desast asked Wind as he followed her. "Shut it." Wind told him in response. "Follow me if you want strength." Desast told Wind. "I told you to shut up!" Wind told Desast as she is getting annoyed by him, only for him to laugh in return. "You'll come around." Desast said before he sensed someone coming, so he vanished. "Wind!" Terra called out as he ran to her. "The true foe is Master Logos. We need your help!" He told her when he got close. Wind didn't respond for she has a lot of things on her mind. "I know it's hard, but you shouldn't side with Velvet right now! We don't know if Arabia escaped the darkness too! Come with us!" "Terra you old fart, didn't you tell me to make my own choice?" Wind asked him. "So leave me alone!" She shouted before she took out her sword and try to strike Terra, only for him to block the attack with his sword. "Wind, you idiot...!" Terra said as he pushed her back. Wind turned and walked away from him. Meanwhile on top of a building where Arabia used to go in the city, both Raritys were on their own. "Did we really..." Pony Rarity asked as they were afraid of what happened. "...attack those people and ponies? Please tell me we didn't..." Her human counterpart couldn't answer her because even she knew it's true. "Rarity!" Surge called out as he found them. "Surge..." Human Rarity said when they saw him and he looked out of breath. "I knew you's be here!" Surge said as walked over to them. "Are you alright?" "I'm not alright at all!" Human Rarity shouted as she hugged Surge. "Naturally..." Surge said as he holds her. "Please help us, Surge..." Both Raritys asked. "I will-" Surge was going to tell them before Zooous spoke up. "I said you're not saving them!" He shouted. When Surge turned, he saw Zooous standing on top of the shack. "Zooous...!!" Surge shouted with anger. "Why Rarity...?!" "Isn't it obvious?" Zooous asked him. "She's the perfect bait drawing you lot out." Surge stared at him with anger in his eyes. "Feel free to try acting the savory again, like a prince atop a white horse. It's time I paid you back!!" He back flipped down as he transformed into his Megdio form and looked ready to fight. "Like I need your permission to save Rarity!" Surge shouted as he charged at Zooous while he took out his driver and place his Wonder Ride Book in it and transformed into his King Lion Daisenki form. King Lion Daisenki Unsheathe the Current! Both Blades and Zooous clashed blades to get one over on the other. Both Raritys watched Blades fight Zooous as they clashed blades, but then they felt pain inside them as the Altar Book inside them glow. Both Raritys then transformed into the Neko Megid and purred. The two Neko Megid attacked Blades from behind, causing him to bumped into the wall. After they attack him again, Zooous try to strike him only for Blades to duck under him before one of the Neko kicked him back. Zooous then charged in and clashed blades with Blades as he made him walked back. The two Neko rolled and try to sweep his legs, only for him to jump back to dodge their attack before he pushed back Zooous after they clashed blades. Then both Nekos and Zooous strike at Blades as he used his sword to block their attacks. "I promise, I WILL save Rarity!" Blades declared as he struggled to hold them back before they pushed his sword down. He then blocked another attack from the three Megido. He looked at his sword and hoped that his sword would glow like Rekka. "There's no light..." He said before they broke through his defense and each one struck him, causing him to roll on the ground. He quickly go up and took a battle stands before looking at his sword. "Is my desire not strong enough?!" He shouted before he charged at Zooous and the two Megido before he clashed blades with Zooous and pushed him back. Blades pulled his sword back before he clashed his sword against the Nekos's staff, knocked them to the ground before he grabbed them and pushed them back to pind them to the wall. He pushed his sword agenst hoping it would separate both Raritys from the two Megid, but nothing. "Why won't it glow?! WHY?!" He asked before the two Neko Megid push his sword off them and kicked him back as they back flip off him. The two Nekos jumped on top of the shack and looked down on Blades. "Seems like the girl in me things you're pretty useless on your own~" One of the Neko Megid told Blades and that made him frustrated. "Your opponent is me!" Zooous shouted as he clashed blades with Blades then struck him to the ground. "Get out of my way!!" Blades shouted as he quickly got back up and fired his Lionic Booster at Zooous. Zooous slashed his two blades in an X to knock away the blast. "Moves I've seen before aren't going to work!" Zooous shouted. "What?!" Blades asked before he clashed blades with Zooous. Each time they clash, Blades took a step back as Zooous took a step forward. Zooous then spun around and strike Blades two times before he pind him to the wall. "I'm fundamentally different from you humans!" Zooous shouted as he kicked Blades before he beat on him repeatedly then threw him right into a wall and Blades fell to the ground. "I simply get stronger to fight even stronger opponents! That's the way it's been now and forever!" He shouted as he kicked Blades as he struggled to get up then grabbed him to pick him up. "Me losing to you just meant I had new prey to get stronger with!" He told Blades before he threw him to the ground. "You've never stood a chance of winning!!" Zooous shouted as he struck Blades when he try to get back up, causing him to transform back to Surge. "It's the exact same resone your mentor died by my hand." Zooous told Surge. The thought of his mentor falling by Zooous made Surge in rage as he struggled to get up. When he got up, he charged at Zooous with sword in hand and tackle Zooous. From the top of another building, Velvet, Chrysalis, and Trek watched Surge fight. "Following Ice Shard's sacrifice, Surge also..." Velvet spoke as their fight was taken to blow the building and Zooous beat up Surge with no mercy. "This too, is for the world's sake." "Is this really what you wanted?" Sophia asked. "I didn't wish for this." Velvet answered. "The future's just been decided." "Besides, he brought this upon himself." Trek said as Chrysalis nodded in agreement. "Even so-" Sophia spoke up. "Saber and the others will not give in." She told them as Surge was sent to the ground by Zooous again. "Begone!!" Zooous shouted as he charged and ready to end Surge. As he brought his swords down on Surge, Flash brought down his sword to block Zooous's attack just nearly in time. Flash and Twilight then pushed Zooous back, just as Spike's, Smolder's, Sandbar's, and Ocellus's Squares and Quake came in and took a battle stands. "Flash. Twilight..." Surge said when he saw them. "We're saving both Raritys, aren't we?!" Twilight asked as she and Flash charged at Zooous with the Squares and Quake as they transformed into Saber and Ember, Elemental Dragon forms. ~Elemental Dragon! Each of them clashed blades with Zooous as they ganged up on him. "We WILL save them!" Saber said as they made Zooous step back with each clash. Just as both Saber and Ember brought their swords up, they started to glow bright. Saber and Ember charged at the two Neko Megido and jumped at them ready to strike. "It's pointless." Velvet said. "The future won't change." Both Saber and Ember slashed both Nekos and as they step back from the damage from the attacks, both Raritys separate from them partly but quickly returned back in them. "Rarity!" Surge called out when he saw her. "It didn't work..." Ember said when both Raritys didn't separate fully. "Never mind, one more time!" Saber said as he ready his sword while Zooous knocked back the Squares and Quake back. "No you don't!" Zooous shouted as he charged at Saber and Ember to stop them as he clashed blades with them. He then pushed their swords back before he slashed them a few times before they stumbled back from another attack. "Flash! Twilight!" Surge, the Squares, and Quake called out as Saber and Ember rolled on the ground and Surge transformed into his King Lion Daisenki form. Unsheathe the Current! Blades charged and clashed blades with Zooous, along with Quake and Spike's and Sandbar's Square. They pushed him back before they swing their swords and struck him. Blades then swung his sword at Zooous, only for him to knocked his sword away. Zooous then struck each of them a few times to cause them to fall to the ground. Both Ocellus's and Smolder's Squares strike Zooous in the back before he turned around and blocked their attacks, then flipping them over his shoulder. "Come on, what's worng?!" Zooous asked Blades as he picked him up to punch him in the face to causing him to fall to the ground. Zooous then kicked him so hard that cause him to crash at a tree. Blades saw his sword where it was knocked away and crawled over to it, only for Zooous to stomped his hand when Blades try to reach for it. "Weren't you gonna beat me down?!" He asked as he beat Blades to the ground. ""How weak!"-" Both Neko Megid shouted as they pinned down the Squares and Quake. "-is what she's saying~" The one with human Rarity inside her said. ""Why did expect anything. What a disappointment~"" "Y'all lying!" Quake shouted. "Rarity would never say anything like that!" Blades lay on the ground and thought back to everytime Rarity supported him. "I'm so sorry, Rarity..." Blades said. "Get up!" Zooous shouted as he grabbed him. "I'm so weak and pathetic..." Blades said to himself as Zooous made him stand up. "I can't save anything...!" He quickly grabbed Zooous and pinned him to the tree. "Flash, Twilight, please save Rarity!!" "Surge...!" Saber said when he and Ember saw what Blades was doing before they quickly got up and charged at the two Megid. "This time for sure!!" They both shouted as they raised there swords and they began to glow bright. Pegasus Flash Sentry flew in and knocked the two Neko Megid off the Squares and Quake as Princess Twilight use her magic to chained them up. "Flash!! Twilight!!" Both Raritys called out from within the two Megid. "I see them! There's still time!" Ember said as they ready to strike as Zooous knocked Blades away and he transformed back to Surge as he hit the ground. Both Saber and Ember stopped and saw that Zooous was about to end Surge. "Go cry to your mentor on the other side!" Zooous told Surge as he jumped high in the air. "Seeya!" He shouted as he came down. "Surge!!" Saber and the others called out as they stood infront Surge and hold up their swords to block the incoming attack. Surge watch as they took the hit and the Squares were destroyed while Saber and the two paladins transformed out of their rider forms as they fell to the ground. "Yup, you all are a blast." Zooous said as the two Neko Megid broke free from the chains and rolled over to him. Flash, Surge, Twilight, and Applejack crawled over to each other but stop to face Zooous. "Alright, we'll take it from the top again." He told them as they scold him. "Do your best to struggle." "Bye nya~" Both Neko Megid told them as they turned to leave. "You okay, Surge?" Flash asked Surge. "WHO CARES ABOUT ME?!" Surge shouted with anger towards himself. "WHY?!" He shouted when he looked at Flash and Twilight. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TWO SAVE RARITY?!" "Surge..." Flash said as they know that Rarity would not like that they sacrificed Surge to save her and her pony counterpart. But now they must find a way to save both Raritys before it's too late. > Volume 1, Chapter 31: Believing in Strength, Strength Believed In. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the Southern Base, Master Logos is sitting in his throne as Storious stands beside him. "It seems the Northern Guardian has returned." Storious told Logos. "No matter." Logos respond with a small smile to Storious. "Her return assists the gathering of the swords and books, if anything. Next is Northern Base's power." "Northern Base's power?" Storious asked as he walked around Logos's throne. "Another portion of the Omniscient Tome, not unlike this one." Logos said as he holds a red book in his hands. "So the North possessed one too." Storious assumed. "Our Zooous is currently up to something interesting." He told Logos before he sense someone coming. "Farewell, then." He said before he vanished. The four who Storious sensed is Mist, Starlight, Wave, and Sunburst. As soon as they approached Logos, they kneeled down to him. "We're here to report that the traitor and Megido were-" Mist said before Logos spoke up. "Do not touch them. Leave them alive." He told the four infront of him before he vanished. "But why...?" Mist asked after Logos left. "His trust in you is faltering." Wave told Mist as he stood up and walked away. "Apologies, Wave..." Mist said to herself before she smiled. "I will make you proud next time." "Logos knows something, Sunburst." Starlight whispered. "One way or another, we're going to find out what it is." "It's easier said than done." Sunburst whispered back. At the Northern Base, Fluttershy and Beat is patching up Surge when they returned back. "I..." Surge said with a blank stare on his face. "-couldn't do anything..." "Surge, don't let yourself falter!" Beat told him. "Beat is right..." Fluttershy said. "You did the best you could. Don't go and blame yourself." "What exactly happened back there?" Sprit asked. "I saw the fight from behind a tree and you said that you can see them." She pointed to Flash and Twilight. "When Rekka lit up, I could see them." Twilight answer Sprit. "Me too." Flash said. "They called out to us just as we got close." They remember both Raritys called out to them from within the two Megid. "How is that even possible?" Princess Twilight asked. "It might have to do with Rekka's awakening." Beat answer her. "You two should be able to save them." She said as she looked at human Flash and Twilight. "If so, then why did you bother saving me?!" Surge asked both of them and sounding upset. "Why didn't you save Rarity instead?! If we don't hurry she'll-" He tried to grab Flash, only for him to hit his head on the table. "You need to rest." Both Twilights told Surge. "And don't worry Sweetie Bell." Flash said to her, who had a very worried look on her face. "We promise we'll find her." "Just say it already...!" Surge shouted. "Say that I'm a liability...!" Somewhere in the city, both Raritys were sitting next to a wall and out of breath. "I beat the crap out of the water swordsman." Zooous bragged before he did a back flip. "Who knows? He might even be dead already!" Both Raritys looked at Zooous with anger. "You're lying...!" Human Rarity said to Zooous before she and her pony counterpart try to get up. "The book's nearly done." Zooous told them as they glowed purple. "NOOOOO...!" Both Raritys screamed out. Meanwhile back at the Northern Base. Flash kneeled down to face Surge, who is holding his head. "You're not a liability." He told Surge. "We said that you're strong, didn't we?" "I'm always only ever being saved by you and Twilight..." Surge said as he remembers the times that he's been saved. "You two have been getting stronger and stronger... While I'm just... As I am...What was the point of me even coming back here?!" Both Flash and Twilight looked at Surge as they felt bad for him. "Take it easy Surge-" "I'M SCARED!" Surge shouted and intrupt Soarin. "I never had parents... Even the mentor who raised me as his own perished..." Surge said as he looks at Nagare on his lap. "And now-the organisation I thought as family has... I'm tired of losing things precious to me...!" "Blades..." Sophia said as she is worried for him, as are the others in the room. "Even then-" Surge said with his face in his hands. "Even then I'm still COMPLETELY USELESS!!" He shouted as he grabbed Nagare. "We're all swordsmen!!" Flash shouted at Surge was about to throw Nagare down, but Surge began to cry as he holds tight to his sword. "Me and Twilight are just the same. We're also afraid. Even so, I wield my sword-" He paused to let Surge gather himself. "-belive we can save them! Aren't you the same?" When Flash asked that, Surge pushed him down as he stood up. "I'm different from you, Flash..."Surge said as he grabbed his coat before he walked away. "We only made it this far thanks to you and everyone else by our side!" Sci-Twi shouted to Surge as he left. "Is Surge going to be okay?" Apple Bloom asked her sister. "He just had his confidence shaken, sugarcube." Applejack told her little sister. "He needs some time to himself." "How's things back in Equestria?" Sunset asked Princess Twilight. "I just told them what happened to Rarity." Princess Twilight said as she gave Sunset back her journal. "They said that Spike was going after Zooous for what he did, but they're keeping him from doing that and getting him killed." "I've never seen Surge like this..." Beat said when Surge left. "Blades has always been a swordsman with an exceedingly strong sence of justice." Sophia said. "Hence, why he's unable to forgive himself." "Surge will be fine." Flash said. "He will be back." Just then, Sophia glowed and felt pain as a sign. "Saber, paladins, a Megido has appeared!" Sophia told them. In the city, the two Neko Megid had terrified people cornered and ready to did what they did to people and ponies before. "Become our accessories!" Both Nekos said to the people they have corner before they hold out their hands and those people were absorbed by them onto their bodies. "Humans, oh you lovely humans!" They both shouted excitedly before they heard someone coming. "We're taking both Raritys back for sure this time!!" Both Twilights shouted as they along with both Flashs arrived and charged at the two Megido. Meanwhile, Surge was walking alone wearing a light brown shirt. "Me, strong...? ME?" Surge thought to himself as he walked. Surge thought about how Flash told him that he and Twilight are just the same and that they're afraid. "I am NOT the same as the...!" He thought to himself just when he heard something. He knew what it was so he runs towards it. Saber and Ember, in their Elemental Dragon forms lean to the wall to dodge the two Neko Megid as they jumped over them. The two Nekos rolled on the ground when they missed them before both Saber and Ember charged at them and was about to slashed them. But the people and ponies that have been turned into the two Neko Megido's accessories called out in fear, and that caused both Saber and Ember to stop. The two Nekos took this opportunity to strike both riders back with their claws. After Saber and Ember stepped back, the two Megido strike them again. But when they tried again, they ducked under their attacks moved behind them. "Here~" The two Nekos said as they glowed and turned into the two Raritys as they fell to the ground. "Rarity!" Saber, Ember, Princess Twilight, and Flash shouted when they saw them. Both Raritys were sweating as they looked at their friends with very concern looks on their faces. "Where's Surge?!" Human Rarity asked them. "We're sorry..." Princess Twilight said as Saber and Ember kneel down to them. "You're kidding..." Human Rarity said as she and her pony counterpart got the wrong idea. "Please tell me you're kidding us!" The Nekos then switch back and grabbed both riders and the two ponies before they kicked them back the laughed. As they got up, Zooous came with a flipped and stuck both Saber and Ember that caused them to stumble back and fell to the ground. "What happened to our little Swordsman of Water?" Zooous asked as he clashed blades with Saber and Ember. When he swung his swords at them again, they ducked under the attack. When he brought his swords down on them, they brought their swords up to block the attack before the two riders burst into flames. Elemental Dragon The two balls of flames multiply into a few as they flew pass Zooous before they came down, gathered to reform Saber and Ember, and struck Zooous back and to the ground. "Did he run away scared after getting beat by me?" Zooous asked as he was getting up. "Never! Surge would never be afraid of you!" Saber shouted at Zooous just as Surge arrived in his original clothes. "He'll be here. I believe in him!" "Belive in him?" Zooous asked. "Don't think he thought the same for you two, though!" "No, he does!" Ember shouted. "That's exactly why he's distressed! That's just the kind of guy he is!! So until he's ready, we'll keep believing in him!!" They both raised their swords as they started to glow bright before they charge at Zooous. When they brought their swords down, they clashed blades with Zooous. They struck him when they went pass him before clashing blades again. They spun around and struck Zooous back before they went for the two Neko Megid. Just when they were about to strike them, they quickly switch to Raritys and miss them. "Flash! Twilight!" Both Raritys said to them. "Rarity!" Both the two riders and the two ponies kneeled down to them. "Help us!" Both Raritys asked them before Zooous. But just before he was about to strike Saber and Ember, they transformed into a burst of flames. Elemental Dragon "Too easy!" Zooous shouted as he power up his blades and struck the the two riders just as the flames reformed. Both Saber and Ember slammed into and fell to the ground as they transformed back to Flash and Sci-Twi. As their ponie counterparts helped them up the two Neko Megid took control again. "Moves I've already seen aren't going to work again!" Zooous told them. "It's over for you both, Swordsman and Paladin of Flames!" Zooous charged at them, ready to end them. Surge couldn't let Zooous hurt his friends, so he charged in as he transformed into Kamen Rider Blades: King Lion Daisenki and picked up Rekka from the ground. Unsheathe the Current! Surge blocked Zooous's attack before he could strike them. "Surge!" Both Flashs and Twilights said when they saw him. They watch as Blades use both his and Flash's sword to push Zooous back. "Come to die have we?!" Zooous asked as Blades begins to clash blades with him. Zooous knocked back an attack from Blades before he struck him a couple of times. When Zooous try to strike him again, Blades brought both swords up to block the attack. But Zooous broke through the defense and struck Blades, causing him to step back. "Surge...!" Both Flash and Twilight shouted when got struck. Blades got up and place his sword back his driver and press the button on the handle as did the same with Rekka on his holder before he drew them out. Final Page! Rekka IAI Unsheathe the Current! Single After-Reading Flash! He connect the two swords in an X formation as he build up power of both water and fire. He then send two powerful slashes right Zooous and the two Nekos. The two slashes turned into a bright light to blind the Megido so Blades could grab Flash, his pony counterpart, along with both Twilights and escape. When the light die down and the smoke clear, Zooous saw they were gone and he yelled out in frustration. On the steps of stairs outside of a building is Surge taking a breath as both Flashs and Twilights sat next to him. "Surge-" Human Flash spoke up as Applejack, Sweetie Bell, and Spike came up the stairs. "Thanks for that." "We saw what happened." Sprit said when she flew out from Sweetie Bell's pocket. "Those cat monsters are really sneaky. You almost had them before they kept on switching back and forth." "There has to be a way to stop that Megido from doing that." Sweetie Bell said, sounding really worried. "I really don't want to lose my sister..." "I just don't know what to do..." Surge spoke with an upset tone. "Y'all are still on that?" Applejack asked him before he slowly got up from the stairs. "Flash..." Surge said as he stood up. "Please face me in duel." Everyone but Flash was surprised by what he just asked of Flash. "I am a swordsman. Swinging a sword is all I'm good for." They felt bad for Surge as he doubt himself. Surge slowly turned around to look at human Flash. "Please cross swords with me." They soon went to the roof where the Twilights, pony Flash, Applejack, Sweetie Bell, Sprit, and Spike are on the sidelines all while human Flash and Surge face each other and had their swords at the ready. It wasn't long before the two clashed blades agenst each other to begin their duel. Soon Surge pulled back before he continued to clash blades with Flash, causing him to take a few steps back. Flash soon blocked an attack from Surge and they lock blades. Flash soon pulled back his sword before he swung it at Surge, only for him to duck under the attack. Surge then swung his sword around and clash Flash's sword to push him back. The two continue to clashed blades as the others watch in anticipation while they fought. They dodge or counter each other attacks with best they can. Flash soon spun around and clash swords with Surge and the emblem on Flash's sword began to glow before the hole blade glow bright. Surge was shocked to see it glow before Flash pulled back and clash swords with Surge again. "I can sense both Flash's and Twilight's emotions in each of his strikes...!" Surge thought as they fought. "Everything that Twilight burdened with... Flash's desired to stay by her side and help her and others..." Flash brought his sword down as Surge blocked his attack. "I will never give up!" Flash thought as he try to break Surge's defense. Surge soon pushed Flash, causing him to stumble forward and Surge rolled forward. When Surge faced Flash, Nagare's emblem begins to glow bright like Rekka before the hole blade glowed bright. The others were shocked and surprise to see Nagare is glowing bright, including Flash. Flash soon charged at Surge and the two began to clash blades over and over again. Each time they clashed, their swords send a small shockwave with each clash. Soon Surge brought his sword down on Flash as he brought his sword up to block the attack. But then Flash hold down Surge's arm so he can have Surge sees his sword is glowing like Rekka. They looked at each other and smile at this news. "Surge..." Flash said as both their swords glowed bright together. "We will always believe in you." He told Surge as the others nodded in agreement. Soon both Flash and Surge lay on the ground as they are exhausted while the others checked on them. "At least we know that Nagare might be able to separate people and ponies from the Megido." Spike said. "Flash." Surge spoke up. "Thank you so much." "No-" Flash said. "Thank you." "I guess this means we will be able to save my sister?" Sweetie Bell asked with hope. "We just need to come up with a plan to do it." Both Twilights told her. In an ally, Zooous in his human form front flipped in and did some parkour down the alley. On the ground of the ally are the two Raritys and looked to be out of energy. "Are we going to die...?" Both Raritys asked as they could feel the book inside them is almost complete. "Not exactly." Zooous answer them. "You both will just become a part of Wonder World. Who knows? Dying might actually be preferable!" Back on the roof. "Rarity has always been cheering us on, all the time." Surge said. "Even when she's fighting alongside us. She's always got a smile on her face, doesn't she?" "Sure does." Applejack answered. "Always been that way. I known Rarity longer than anyone. I met her when we are you little kids. She's always been the nice and clean gal and at first, she didn't like me because of the farm work I do. One day, her folks had to be at the hospital for the day and our moms knew each other. You can imagine how much she didn't want to stay at a farm for a day." She chuckled at the memory. "But after I showed her how fun it can be when you work at a farm, she completely forgot that she was getting dirty. Ever since than, we've been friends and." Each of them smile about how Rarity is so generous and so kind. Surge however felt more towards her than anyone. "She's like a beautiful jem and a sun us." Surge said with a smile. "Always warm, shine like a diamond, and is always generous." Both him and Flash struggle to get up from the ground, but Sci-Twi and Applejack helped them up. They looked at one another and knew that together, they can save both Raritys. They along with Spike's and Sweetie Bell's Square came to an open clearing where Zooous and the two Neko are. "Took you long enough!" Zooous shouted at them. "Your swords are mine after I beaten you this time! All to create the ideal world of Megido!" He parkour as he transformed into his Megido form. "Not happening." Both human and pony Flash told him as each of them got into a battle positions. "In the name of Nagare, the Sword of Currants..." Surge spoke. "We'll take back that smile." Both Twilights and Applejack said. "Without fail!" Both Spike and Sweetie Bell shouted. "Henshin!" Each rider shouted as they took out their driver and put them on before they took out their Wounder Ride Books. Elemental Dragon King Lion Daisenki Wonder Paladin Get They then place their books in their drivers before Flash and Surge draw out their swords and both Sci-Twi and Applejack press the button on their drivers to open up their books. Unsheathe the Flame! Unsheathe the Current! Paladin, Stand! Giant versions of their books appeared behind them and open up. "Henshin!" They shouted as they transformed into their rider forms. ~Elemental Dragon! ~King Lion Daisenki! ~Wonder Paladin! More and more elements makes for a formidable bond! Each rider and the two Squares ready their swords as they took battle stands with both the two ponies before they charge at Zooous and the two Megido. Zooous charged at them before they clashed blades with each one of them. Saber and Ember clashed blades with him from one side, Quake and the two Squares clashed blades with him from the other while Blades and the two ponies took him from the front. Saber, Ember, and Spike's Square clashed blades with Zooous while Blades scanned his booster with his sword. Special hmm, hmm, hmmmm! Concluding Flash! Blades then thrust his sword and send a huge wave of water at Zooous while Saber and Ember kept him in place. Both Saber and Ember turned into bursts of flames before the wave got near and it hit Zooous. The wave pushed Zooous back while Princess Twilight blast him with magic, Quake, Pegasus Flash and the two Squares slashed their swords at him. Soon both Saber and Ember reform behind Zooous and struck him. When Zooous stumbled forward, both Surge and Quake kicked in the chest. The three clashed blades with each other before both Squares came in and thrust their swords in Zooous's side. Zooous try to strike them but Princess Twilight teleported them out of his attack as Blades try to strike him. Each rider and pony clashed with Zooous as they fought. Zooous try to strike at Sweetie Bell's Square, but she stepped aside causing him to roll on the ground before he turned clashed blades with Saber, Blades, Ember, and Quake. Each of them pushed him back before they kicked them. Zooous was getting enraged by them over powing them. Both Saber and Blades place their swords in their drivers and press the button on the handles before they drew them out. Unsheathe the Current! King Lion Finishing Slash! Unsheathe the Flame! Elemental Compilation Slash! As Zooous charged at them and as he was about to strike them, both Saber and Blades swung their swords as they were powered up as they clashed with Zooous. Zooous try to break through their attack, but the two overpowered him and stuck him back. Ember, Quake, the ponies, and the Squares kept Zooous busy while Saber and Blades turn their attention to the two Neko Megid. As they charge at them, the two Neko switch to the two Raritys before they got close. "Don't stop! Cut us down!" Human Rarity shouted to them as her pony counterpart nodded in agreement. "Rarity!" Saber called out. As both him and Blades looked at the two Raritys, Zooous strike the others and change at Saber and Blades. He struck both of them while their guards were down as both Raritys transformed back to the Neko Megid and laughed. "Looks like they've finally given up.~" The Neko with pony Rarity said. "Definitely not!!" Saber, Ember, Princess Twilight, Flash, Quake, the Squares and Blades shouted. They all got up and Blades looked at Zooous. "Flash, Twilight, you both get Rarity...while the rest of us stop Zooous!!" He, Quake, Princess Twilight, Flash, the Squares charged at Zooous. "Go!" Saber shouted before he and Ember charged at the two Neko Megid while the others took on Zooous. Both Saber and Ember swung their swords at the two Neko Megid, but they ducked under their attacks and dodge another attack. Blades and the others clashed blades with Zooous and try to get a strike in. "You can't stop me!" Zooous shouted at them before he was struck by Blades and Quake. He grabbed Blades when the Squares try to strike him. "Don't make me laugh!" He then struck Blades before he kicked him into Quake and Spike's square. After they rolled on the ground, Zooous charged and brought his swords down as Blades brought his sword up to block the attack. "Enough pointless struggling!" "I suppose I am just pointless struggling." Blades said before he pushed Zooous off. "EVEN SO-" He swung his sword and struck Zooous. "Flash, Twilight, and Rarity-" Saber and Ember stepped back as they blocked attacks from the two Megid. "They never gave up. They kept on believing in me, no matter what!" Blades shouted as he grip his sword tight. "So what?! You're still a weakling!!" Zooous shouted as he charged at Blades and locked swords. Blades pulled and clashed blades with Zooous. When he thrust his sword forward, Zooous dodge it before he flipped over Blades. When Blades turned around, Zooous struck him a couple of times before Blades try to strike back. But Zooous flipped over Blades to dodge the attack, but Blades quickly turned and try to strike Zooous. Only for Zooous to strike him first before they clashed and lock blades. "They're why I can't afford to even give up on myself!" Blades told Zooous before he blast him with his shoulder cannons. While the others kept Zooous back, Blades join Saber and Ember in fighting the two Neko Megid. As Saber and Ember clashed their swords against the two Neko Megid's staffs, Blades came in as they were pushed back. "Let's go Surge!!" Saber shouted to him. "Right! Like the Northern Winds and the Sun!" Blades declared. "We're going to free our friend this time!" Ember told the two Neko Megid. "We already said it's pointless!" Both Neko Megid told them. Blades swung his sword around as water gether around before he shot it at the two Neko Megid. The two Megidos used the people and the ponies they turn into accessories to block the attack. But then both Saber and Ember came down over their block and slashed them. As they step back from their attacks, the books on their chests glow bright from the damage and both Raritys were fully separated from them. As soon as the Nekos saw them, they quickly grabbed them and put them back in them. "Well that's a shame~" They said before they switched to Raritys. "Rarity!" Saber, Ember, Quake, Blades, the Squares, and the ponies called out to them. "I think it's over for us..." Both Raritys told them before both Neko Megid took back control and laughed maniacally. "It is over for those two!" They told them. They knew that they didn't have much time before they lose both Raritys forever as the sun is setting. Zooous swung their swords at Saber and Ember to make the step back before they got struck. "Doesn't matter how many times you try, there's no saving them!!" Zooous shouted at them. After hearing what Zooous just told them, Blades was getting angry. "Flash and Twilight can definitely do it!" Blades shouted to them and bot Saber and Ember. They looked to him and under their masks, they smile to him. "Right." Both Saber and Ember said. "As long as we're here...!" All three ready their swords with both Squares and Quake before they change at Zooous. They clashed blades with Zooous a few times before they struck him. "We will save her!" They all told Zooous as they clashed blades with him. As they lock blades, both Rekka and Nagare began to glow bright and Rekka's power flow over to Ember's sword before all therr broke through Zooous's defense. As Zooous stumbled back from their attacks, both Neko Megid ready their staffs. Both Saber, Ember, and Blades could see both Raritys inside the two Neko Megid looking at them. "Thank you..." Both Raritys told them. ""Thank you" is something you say with a smile!!" Saber told them. "Lift up your head, Rarity Bell!" Blades told them. Both Raritys cry before they gave a smile. "We promised we look out for each other, didn't we?" Ember asked as the others nodded in agreement. "Surge..." Human Rarity said with a bright smile with her pony counterpart. "Flash... Twilight... Applejack... Spike... Sweetie Bell..." Both Raritys said. "It's time for you to disappear!" Both Neko Megid told them as they were about to change at them, but they stop all of the sudden. From within them, both Raritys were holding them back from hurting their friends. "Both Raritys are-" Sweetie Bell's Squares said. "We decide-" Both Saber and Ember said. "-how this story ends!!" All of them shouted as they charged at the two Neko Megid. Both Saber's, Ember's, and Blades's swords glowed bright together as they all slashed their swords at them. The power of both Rekka and Nagare was enough to send both Raritys flying out from the two Megid. Human Rarity puts on her driver and quickly transformed into Aqua: Lioness Daisenki and grabbed pony Rarity as they land on the ground but when she landed, Aqua dropped the key Sophia gave her sister, her friends, Spike, and Cadence. "We're saved!!" Both Aqua and Rarity shouted. Aqua put down Rarity as she spun around and blast the two Neko Megid as the others gave one final strike to destroy them. With the two Neko Megid gone, Princess Twilight, Pegasus Flash, and unicorn Rarity returned to Equestria. "Now you've done it...!!" Zooous shouted as he got up. "Zooous, I must thank you!" Blades told him as energy flow off of him, Saber, and Ember. "You've helped me grow stronger! However-" Both him and Saber place their swords in their drivers and press the buttons on them twice as Ember, Aqua, Quake, and the two Squares place their swords in their holders as they press the buttons on their swords. All of them jumped high in the air for a seven Rider Kick. King Lion Finishing Passage! King Lion Finishing Strike! BETTER & BETTER FINISHING PASSAGE! ELEMENTAL COMPILATION STRIKE! All of their kicks landed as Zooous did his best to block them. But they were able to overpower him and knocked him back and as he was sent flying back, he exploded and he crashed into ground as he was covered in flames. "It's not over...!!" Zooous shouted as he got up while he is still on fire. "Not yet, not yet, not ever!!" He shouted as an X glowed from his chest and his eyes glowed. They were focused on Zooous, they didn't see Storious there and picked up the key. "An unexpected prize." Storious said as he looked at the key. "We'll finish this another time." His hole body turned into a black cloud and circled around Zooous before they vanished. "Rarity!" Blades called out to Aqua before they transformed out of their rider forms and both Spike and Sweetie Bell ran over to them. "Are you alright?" He asked as Sweetie Bell gave her sister a big hug. Rarity hugged her little sister back before she gave Surge a warm smile. "Thank you all!" Rarity said to him and her friends. "We did it Surge." Flash said as he patted Surge on the back. "Yes, Fla-" Surge was about to call him Flash but stopped himself. Flash hold up his ear and wonder what he was about to say. "Flash!" He shouted in his ear and made him jump before they shook hands. "I'm so glad that we did it!" Spike said with joy. Each of them join in for a group hug as they laughed with joy. "You all are my family!" Surge told his friends. As they all laughed with joy, Velet watched them from not too far. "Again...?" Velet asked as she watched them. "Another future I haven't seen...?" She asked as turn to leave. "THEY'RE DONE!!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she jumped high in the air when everyone came back to the Northern Base. After she landed on the ground, she gave everyone pins with their faces on them. "Here!" She said to Beat as she gave her and Sophia one. "Badges for all our Northern Base friends!" "You made these?" Soarin asked as he looked at his. "He had a little help from me of course." Rarity told him. "They are so cute!" Cadence said as she looked at hers. On the table are more badges with the Sword of Logos and the other riders on them. Even ones with Velvet, Tirek, Chrysalis, and Arabia on them. "It will be like this soon." Twilight said as she and the others put their badges with the others on the table. "Master Logos' next target is likely..." Sophia thought as she looked at everyone in the room. Meanwhile in the Southern Base in the throne room. A thunderstorm was happening outside as Logos sat in his throne. He smiled as someone approached and kneel before him. This person had a Paladin Driver on and she looked a lot like Sunset. Within Tassel's house, a bird made of light approach Light as she was looking for Tassel and land in her hand. "Viktor's been weakened after receiving one of Master Logos' attacks. He'll be back once his power is restored." The bird told Light. "That's what happened?" Light asked the bird. "Henshin!" She said as she transformed into Kamen Rider Saikou before heading out. ~X-SWORDSWOMAN The Story Continue > Volume 1, Chapter 32: My Thoughts, Crystallized. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the Southern Base, Terra returned and place his Sacred Sword on the table with the others. "Surge!" Terra said before he walked over to Surge. "You did good while I was away!" He told him as he gave Surge a pat on the back. "Yes, though not on my own." Surge said as he looked at Flash, Twilight, Spike, Sweetie Bell, Applejack. "Us and Surge got through it." Flash told Terra as they remember how both his and Surge's Sacred Swords glowed bright together as they attack both Neko Megido and freed both Raritys. "And I'm very grateful for what you all had done for me." Rarity spoke up. "Nice." Terra said before he turned to the kids. "As for all of you, you all have progressed wonderfully. Keep it up and those Square Swords will become Paladin Drivers in no time!" After hearing that Spike, Cozy Glow, the Young Six, and the CMCs were excited to become Paladins. "Guess we're getting closer to giving Master Logos a beatdown." While they all talk, Beat was inspecting Rekka. "No rush though!" Beat shouted. "The Sword of Currants reacted to the Sword of Flames! First, we need to puzzle out this phenomenon!" She was sounding exciting as she spoke. "Do remember that it's only a matter of time before the Master's servants comes for us." Sophia told them as she step out the balcony. "The Sacred Swords, Wonder Ride Books along with the portion of the Omniscient Tome in the Northern Base possesses, are in danger. "What of the formidable barrier surrounding the Northern Base?" Storious asked Master Logos. At the Southern Base in the throne room, Storious and Logos were alone and talking. "Breaking the barrier will be like tearing up spider's web." Logos told him. Storious chuckled as he walked around Logos' throne before he sat on the arm of the throne. "What say I lend you a hand?" Storious asked Logos. "I happen to have a beast that hasn't han his fill of trouble." He told Logos before he walked up and hold up the key he found when it was dropped. "Not to mention finding an opportunity to try this key." He said before he walked out. As Storious left, Logos stood up and went outside and on top of the Northern Base. It was there the book he had glowed and fly out of his hand as it opened up. Then in one hand was a bow of light and in the other is a arrow of darkness. "Now then-" Logos said as he took aim with the bow and arrow. "Let us begin." He fire the arrow as he begins his move. "So what happened to Wind?" Sprit asked Terra as Pinkie hand him a pin. "Sorry. I couldn't convince her." Terra answered. "She's never been a good listener." He looked at the pin and the picture of him Pinkie made was a cute anime chibi of him like the rest of the others. "Is this supposed to be me?!" He asked as he stood up. Meanwhile outside, the arrow Logos shot hit the barrier of the Northern Base and it rain multiple arrows from within the barrier as it was destroying it. From inside, the place shook as the barrier outside was being destroyed. "Sophia, what was that?!" Sunset asked as everyone try to keep their balance. "Someone is assaulting the barrier!" Sophia told them. "Most likely Master Logos. I must hurry to restore it!" She told them before she turned and went into a different part of the Northern Base. In this large room was the Northern Base's portion of the Omniscient Tome on a pedestal as Sophia walked over to it. As she waved her hand over it, it opened up and glowed as she worked to restore the barrier. Meanwhile back in the meeting room, a Book Gate open up from the top of the stairs as Mist, Starlight, Wave, Sunburst, and a red cloak figure came through it. "Good-day." Mist said to everyone in the room. "Surge!" Flash shouted as each rider grabbed their swords and they took battle stands. "Hear us, traitors of Northern Base..." Mist spoke up. "By Master Logos' decree, we will be taking your swords and Wonder Ride Books." Wave told them. "They must have broken the barrier." Shining Armor said. "Yeah but, who's the girl in the cloak?" Rainbow Dash asked. "All of you, can you hear me?" Sophia's voice called out to the riders. "I am speaking directly using the Northern Base's powers. Slash, bring your swords, your paladin, Rainbow Dash, Cadence, and the children to my location. Wait, the Megido have also broken in!" In another part of the base, both Storious and Zooous have entered the Northern Base but Zooous looked completely different. "Understand? We'er here for the Northern Base's powers." Storious told Zooous. "I ain't taking orders from you!!" Zooous shouted with rage as he try to attack Storious, but Storious put up a force field the block is attack. But the feedback damage the hallway there in. "WHERE ARE YOU, SWORDSMAN OF WATER?!" Zooous shouted as went off to find Surge. "We must protect the Northern Base's power, no matter what!" Sophia told the riders. "Let's split up." Beat whispered to the others. "Me and Rarity will take the Megido." Surge whispered. "Me and Applejack will come with." Terra told him. "Enough whispering. Hand over your swords, now." Mist demanded. "Refuse, and we'll have to resort to force." Wave told them as he and Mist took out their swords and both Starlight and Sunburst took out their Paladin Ride Books. "I've heard everything." Light said. When they looked at the doors when they open, they saw Light had returned. "Light! You're back!" Fluttershy said when she and the others saw her and she walked infront of them. "The Swordswoman of Light? We'll taking you too." Wave told Light. "We'll see about that. Let there be light!" Light declared as she brought out her sword and glowed bright to blind Mist, Wave, Starlight, and Sunburst. "Now! It's a promise!" Twilight shouted as the others but Flash, Shining Armor, and Sunset ran out to do their jobs. "We will protect the Northern Base!" Flash told Surge. "Of course. It's a promise!" Surge said as he clash swords with Flash before he went to go stop the Megido. "Let's move!" He shouted as they head out. Just before the light die down, the cloak figure jumped down and tackle Sunset as a Book Gate open up and the two tumble through it to somewhere else. "Sunset!" Twilight called out before the Book Gate close and vanished. "The impudence...!" Mist said with annoyed tone as the four walked down the stairs. Wave and Sunburst going down one, Mist and Starlight on the others. "Fine then..." Wave spoke. "...will be the Sword of Flames and Light." They took out their Wounder Ride Books and open them up. Konchuu Daihyakka Wonder Paladin Ocean History Wonder Paladin Flash, Twilight, Shining, and Light stood back to back as they four riders from the Southern Base came down the stairs as they place their books in their transformation devices and activate them. "Henshin!" They shouted as they transformed into Kamen Rider Sabela, Steam, Durandal, and Stream Signal the Change Paladin, Stand! ~Konchu-chu Daihyakka ~Wonder Paladin! Reverse the Edge of Time Paladin, Stand! ~OCEAN HISTORY-EEEEEAH ~Wonder Paladin! As they took the last steps down Flash, Twilight, Shining, and Light took out their Wounder Ride Books and open them up before they place them in their drivers. "You're not getting them!" Flash told them. X-Swordswoman Dragonic Paladin! Elemental Dragon! Get! Meanwhile Surge, Rarity, Terra, and Applejack ran down the hall before a wall exploded in front of both Terra and Applejack. Zooous was the one who burst through and he slammed both Terra and Applejack by their heads to the wall and knocked them out. Both Surge and Rarity stopped and looked back to see Terra and Applejack on floor and out cold. "Terra!! Applejack!!" They both called out to them before they saw Zooous. "There you are, Swordsman of Water!!" Zooous shouted as he looked ready to attack. "We will defeat you here and now!" Surge declared as he and Rarity took out their King Lion Daisenki and Daisenki Lioness Paladin before they place them in their drivers and transformed into their rider forms. King Lion Daisenki Daisenki Lioness Paladin Unsheathe the Current! Paladin, Stand! Both Blades and Aqua charged at Zooous before they slashed their swords at him. After they struck him, Zooous grabbed them both but they got free from his grip and struck him again. Zooous turned and kept on throwing punches at the two. While Zooous kept both Blades and Aqua, Storious took this opportunity to go further in the base. Meanwhile back the meeting room, Saber and Ember in their Elemental Dragon forms was struck by Durandal and Stream while Saikou and Drake in the Dragonic Paladin form fought Sabela and Steam. When they charged at them, both Durandal and Stream struck them back before they went to help Sabela and Steam. "You exploited and hurt Surge and everyone else!" Saber shouted at them as he and Ember clashed blades with Sabela and Steam. "Everything is for the Master!" Sabela respond to him before she and her paladin swapped again and attack both Saikou and Drake while Durandal and Stream attacks both Saber and Ember again. Sunset and the cloaked figure fell through the Book Gate to what looked to be a forest. They both rolled on the ground before they quickly got up and took a battle stands. "All right! Who are you and are you a Swordswoman or a Paladin?" Sunset asked the cloaked figure but she didn't get an answer as the cloaked figure charged at her. The figure threw a few punches as she dodged each one before the cloaked figure spin kicked Sunset in the stomach. Sunset was set flying back a few feet back before she hit a tree. Sunset took a moment to composed herself before she rolled out of way when the cloaked figure try to stab her with a sword. Sunset quickly puts on her driver and took out Wonder Paladin Ride Book. "Henshin!" She shouted as she pressed the button on her driver and transformed into Kamen Rider Shine. Paladin, Stand! ~Wonder Paladin! "What's your problem?!" Shine asked the cloaked figure as she ready her sword. "I'm taking back what you've stolen from me." The cloak figure told her in a very familiar voice. Shine didn't have time to figure out why she sounds familiar as they clashed blades with each other. Shine then pushed the cloaked figure before she try to punch her. The cloak figure was stronger and highly skilled as she knocked Shine's sword out of her hand then flipped her over into another tree. "What are you talking about?!" Shine asked as she got up. "I never stolen anything from you and I never even seen you before in my life!" The cloak figure charged at her and the two clashed blades with each other before the cloaked figure leg sweep Shine then kicked her in the chest. Shine stepped back a bit before the cloaked figure struck her a few times with her sword. After one last slash, Shine was sent flying back as she transformed back to Sunset before she hit the ground. The cloak figure brought her sword up, ready to finish off Sunset. But when she brought it down, Sunset quickly grabbed her arms to stop her and at that moment, Sunset's magic allowed her to see into this mysterious person's memories. When she was done, Sunset looked at the cloaked figure with a shocked look while she stared back with anger. "You...you're-" Back at the Northern Base, Saber and Ember clashed blades with Durandal and Stream as they continue to fight. "What does Master Logos even want with the Omniscient Tome?!" Ember asked. "That isn't for you to know!" Durandal told her as he and Stream pinned both her and Saber to the railing of the staircase. "The Master will wield that power justly. We are on the side of justice!" Saikou and Drake fought Sabela and Steam but heard what Durandal told Saber and Ember. "Then why are the Megido with you?" Saikou asked him before she blocked Sabela's attack with her sword. "Aren't you collaborating with them?" She asked Sabela. "What did you say?!" Sabela asked before Saikou pushed then struck her as Drake kicked Steam back. Both Durandal and Stream pulled both Saber and Ember around before they struck them. "Do not falter, Mist." Durandal told Sabela. After Saikou and Drake helped Saber and Ember up, they got ready to charge at Durandal and Stream. But before they did, Durandal pull out the blade from its guard and pressed the button on the handle as Stream place his sword in his holder on his belt and press the button to send a ripple everywhere to slow down time while they move normally. Kaiji Erasure As both Durandal and Stream walked around them, they saw how it would have happened if they took them head on. Once they were behind them, Durandal place the blade back in the guard and both him and Stream pressed the button on their swords to restore time and all four of them missed the two. Reset Kaiji As the four were confused by what happened, both Durandal and Stream struck them from behind and they fell to the ground. "Me and Sunburst will handle this ourselves. You both go retrieve the other swords." Durandal told Sabela and Steam. "I understand, Wave." Sabela said as she hold up her sword and both her and Steam turned into smoke. Noroshi Vapoursect As Saber and the others got up, they saw the two smoke clouds about to fly away. "Wait!" Ember and Saikou called out before Durandal hit the floor with the bottom of his sword's handle. "Do not anger me any further." Durandal warned. Meanwhile, Blades and Aqua continue to fight Zooous in the hallway as they swung their swords at him and struck him. Just before Zooous could strike back, he punched a wall that caused smoke to kick up to blind both Blades and Aqua. As Zooous walk closer to them, they brought their swords down on him but he blocked them with his arms and pushed them back by charging at them. After he knocked them into a wall, they quickly jumped back from before he got close to them and punched them both in the stomach. Zooous then knocked back Aqua before he grabbed Blades and repeatedly attack him again and again. After he kicked Blades in the chest and knocked him into Aqua, they both transformed back to Surge and Rarity as they hit the floor. As they slowly got up, Zooous roared out as if the power he has now is too much for him. "Swordsmen, Paladins, can you hear me?" Sophia's voice called out. "Sabela and Steam are currently Slash's swords!" We see Beat holding Ikazuchi, along with Cadence, PinkiePie, Rainbow Dash, Cozy Glow, the Young Six, and the CMCs are in a different part of the base while both Sabela and Steam stood on a staircase. "Get back, all of you." Beat told the others while she hand Ikazuchi to Cadence as Sabela and Steam walked toward them and Beat took a battle stands. "Beat... Pinkie Pie... Rainbow Dash..." Surge said when Sophia warned them. "Should I turned them into Megido along with your Paladin again?" Zooous asked mockingly. "Maybe that'll motivate you to get serious!!" He shouted as he a wall that caused both Surge and Rarity to be knocked back. "Human lives aren't your plaything!!" Rarity told Zooous. As Zooous were looking at Surge and Rarity, both Terra and Applejack ran regain consciousness and charged at him as they transformed. ~Gekido, the Sword of Tremors! Wonder Paladin! Both Buster and Quake came up to Zooous and swung their swords at him, but he ducked under their attacks when he saw them. "Terra! Applejack!" Both Surge and Rarity called out as Buster and Quake clashed their swords at Zooous. "Get going you two!" Buster shouted as he and Quake pushed Zooous back a bit. "But-" Surge try to protest as Quake kicked Zooous in the chest before Buster grabbed him. "Y'all have got more important things to do than beating this guy, right?!" Quake asked as she and Buster ram Zooous into a wall. Zooous pushed them off him before Buster swung his sword and knocked Zooous down. "We'll take it from here!" Buster shouted as he and Quake charged at Zooous and all three burst through the wall and outside. "Terra!! Applejack!!" Both Surge and Rarity called out as they watched them fall outside before they headed to help the others. In another part of the base, Durandal and Stream struck Saber and Ember as their fight were taken out of the meeting room and on top of a staircase. When they struck them again, they were sent over the railing and to the bottom floor. Both Durandal and Stream turned and clashed blades with Saikou and Drake before Durandal and Stream thrust their swords at them and they fell backwards down the stairs. "Is that all the resistance you can offer?" Durandal asked as the down riders got back up as Durandal pull the blade of his sword out of it's guard and press the button on handle. Kaiji Erasure In a ripple, both Durandal and Stream dissaperd and reappeared behind the four on the ground floor. Reset Kaiji Elemental Dragon Both Saber and Ember turned into bursts of flames and surrounded both Durandal and Stream. The flames came back together and reform Saber and Ember and was about struck Durandal and Stream. Kaiji Erasure In a ripple, they disappear before Saber and Ember could strike them. Reset Kaiji Durandal and Stream reappear next to them and struck both of them that caused them to transformed back to Flash and Twilight as they fell to the ground before Durandal and Stream dissaperd again. Kaiji Erasure Reset Kaiji Both Durandal and Stream stood tall as Flash and Twilight were on the ground. "Flash! Twilight!" Both Saikou and Drake called out before they turned their attention to Durandal and Stream and charged at them. When they were getting close, Durandal pull out the blade out of its guard and pressed the button on handle again. Kaiji Erasure A ripple cause him and Stream to disappear and reappeared behind Saikou and Drake. Reset Kaiji Both Flash and Twilight were affected by that ripple and they could see what looked to be both Durandal's and Stream's attacks before they could do as they fought Saikou and Drake. When the two got struck, they rolled on the ground and stopped next to Flash and Twilight. "Were those their movements" Twilight wonder. "You saw them too?" Flash asked her. "Me and Shining will stall them. You two figure out their powers in that time!" Saikou told them before she and Drake got up and charged at Durandal and Stream. As they fought, both Flash and Twilight struggle to get up and watched them fight. Meanwhile, Surge and Rarity made their way up some staircase as they were on their way to Beat and the others are. They ran down a hallway before they opened doors to where Sophia, Beat, and the others are. "Beat, Rainbow, everyone, are you all alright?!" Rarity asked as she and Surge ran over to them. Beat and Rainbow Dash are laying on the floor as they're injured. "Sorry, the swords and Wonder Ride Books..." Beat said. "I'm sorry, we should have rushed here sooner." Surge said. "There's no time for hesitation." Sophia told them as a screen showed what was happening across the base. "Buster and Quake have been defeated by Zooous!" One screen show them Saikou and Drake fighting Durandal and Stream while the other showed Terra and Applejack out cold outside. Everyone had a worried looks on their faces before Spike's book went off and he took it out just when a Book Gate open up where they are and Sunset fell out with cuts and bruises. As Fluttershy and Yona help Sunset, Spike opened the book and it showed them Zooous. "Look! He's on his way!" Spike shouted and once Sophia heard him, she quickly grabbed the portion of the Omniscient Tome and walked over to the group. "I entrust this power to you all." Sophia told them as she hands the book to Cadence. "This is a portion of the Omniscient Tome. For the sake of the world's balance... You must take this and your Sacred Swords, and run." "What about you?" Ocellus asked. "I will slow Zooous-" Sophia said before Zooous burst through the wall, dragging both an unconscious Terra and Applejack before he threw them at the group. "Terra!! Applejack!!" Surge and the others shouted, Apple Bloom sounded the most worried for her sister. "I'm going to consume you all, along with the Northern Base power!!" Zooous shouted before he charged at them. Sophia quickly stepped infront of the group and put up a barrier infront of them just before Zooous could reached them. Zooous repeatedly strike the barrier to try and break through as Sophia did her best to keep it up. "Now, quickly!" Sophia shouted to the group. "But... We can't just run and leave you!" Surge said. "Blades! For what purpose do you wield your sword?!" Sophia asked Surge. Surge pondered went Sophia asked. Zooous continue to strike the barrier and it was beginning to crack before he gave one last strike to break it down. Zooous roared as he was about to strike Sophia where she stood. But just when he was about to strike, everyone saw Surge and Rarity had their swords out and blocked the attack. "Henshin!!" They shouted as they transformed into Kamen Rider Blades and Aqua: King Lion Daisenki and Lioness Daisenki. ~King Lion Daisenki! They both pulled their swords back before they pushed Zooous back. They then swung their swords and struck him a couple of times. When they swung their swords again, Zooous duck under their attacks and struck them. He punched a couple of times before they try strike him, only for Zooous to flip Aqua over him and grab Blades he flipped him over. Blades crash on top of Aqua when Zooous flipped him. Back with the fight between Durandal and Stream against Saikou and Drake. Both Flash and Twilight watched the fight from where they are as each one clashed blades with each other. Saikou and Drake dodged both Durandal's and Stream's attacks as both Flash and Twilight watched carefully as they can see Durandal's and Stream's movements. "Those attacks aren't teleportation..." Twilight said as she and Flash figure out the sword's power. They remember when they were at Southern Base to help Surge and when ripples happened to cause them to be in a different place. "If so-" Flash spoke up as Durandal and Stream struck both Saikou and Drake. Durandal then pulled out the blade out of its guard and pressed the button on handle. Kaiji Erasure In both Flash's and Twilight's eyes when that happen, they saw a ripple effect happened around both Durandal and Stream just as Saikou and Drake was about to strike. They disappear and saw images of them moving behind them before a ripple made it look like they reappear behind them before they struck them that caused both Saikou and Drake to transformed back to Light and Shining. Reset Kaiji Both Light and Shining rolled on the ground after that attack. "You're all identical to that Swordsman of Water." Durandal told them. "Always shedding tears, like the pathetic traitor he is." Both Blades and Aqua were struck a few times by Zooous. He then struck them down to the floor as they transformed back to Surge and Rarity. "Kneel before my blade!!" He told them as Flash and Twilight glared at him. Durandal and Stream approached both Light and Shining before Flash and Twilight stood in their way. "Surge is NOT weak!" Flash shouted at him. "He'd throw away his life for his friends..." Zooous was about to go after the others, but both Surge and Rarity grab hold of his leg to stop him. He pulled his legs back before he picked up both of them, then smacked them in the face. As Zooous turned back to the group, both Surge and Rarity stood up and charged at him. When they try to strike him, he dodged them and they stumbled forward. Zooous then knocked them to the ground when their guard was down. Even after then, they struggle to get back up. "I absolutely refuse run away!!" Surge shouted. Back with Flash and Twilight, Flash place his sword back in his driver. "There's no stronger a swordsman!" Twilight shouted before she and Flash pulled both their Primitive Dragon and Elemental Dragon books. Elemental Dragon Get! After they place the Elemental Dragon books in the Primitive Dragon books, they place them in their drivers. Flash then draw out his sword as Twilight pressed the button on her driver and their books opened up. "Henshin!" They both shouted as they transformed into their rider forms. Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin, Stand! ~CRACKING! CRUNCHING! BONE! Flaring~ Flaring~ Burn~ SHACK HANDS!! ~ELEMENTAL DRAGON! "It doesn't matter how many times you try!" Durandal told them before Saber and Ember charged him and Stream. Durandal quickly took his sword and out the blade out of its guard and pressed the button on handle. Kaiji Erasure As a ripple cause time to slow down time for Saber and Ember, Durandal and Stream move normally as they walked around them. But for Saber and Ember, after they miss them when they slashed their swords, they can see both Durandal's and Stream's movements as they walked around them. So they waited for the moment when Durandal place his blade back in the gard and resume time. The moment he did, they quickly spin around blocked their attacks. Reset Kaiji Once they pulled back, both Saber and Ember struck both Durandal and Stream causing them to step back. Durandal was both shocked and surprised that Saber and Ember was able to block and counter attack him and Stream. While Stream was a bit intrigued by it. "We made a promise to Surge..." Saber said. "That we'd protect the Northern Base! That's why... You're going down right now!" Meanwhile, Surge was punched in the face by Zooous to cause him to fall to the ground. He he fell, he remembers something from his childhood. "Can I become a strong swordsman like you?" A young Surge asked his master. Surge remembered how he copy the moment of his master as they trained. Zooous then kicked Surge while he was down. "Surge." A memory of his master spoke. "The path of a swordsman has no end." Zooous then struck Surge in the stomach as he remembers what Sophia asked him. "Blades! For what purpose do you wield your sword?!" Surge then fell to the ground, injured as he came to a realization. "I realize my purpose a long time ago..." Surge said to himself. "I've just...lacked the necessary resolve...!" He tried to get up, but he fell. "Surge!" Rarity called out when he fell and she rushed to him. "You've done enough!" Beat told him before he try again to get up again. When he got to his hands and knees, he looked towards the group and gave them a smile. "What I need to be protecting right now..." Surge spoke to them. "...are the friends and family I've made!" Rarity helped him up as he used his sword to balance himself as he rose up. "Anyone can get stronger as long as their friends are with them! The world I live in means something because my loved ones are here too!" He struggled to stand as he balanced himself with his sword. "That's why I...I need to protect my loved ones right here and now! And become a strong swordsman!!" He declared as he stood tall with Rarity, for she has been inspired by his words. And at that moment, the tome in Cadence's hands glowed bright before it floated out of her hands and struck Zooous back. The glowing orb then fly down next to both Surge and Rarity before it took form of a new Wonder Ride Book and landed in Surge's hand. "Northern Base's power has become a Wonder Ride Book!" Sophia said when she and the others just saw. Power from said book flow over to Rarity as a copy of it form in her hands. Both their books were white with crystal blue and white lions on the cover. Both Surge and Rarity pulled the switch on the side of their own book to open them and reveal the story within. TATEGAMI HYOUJUU SENKI: The battle-worn sliver mane carving a path through the blizzard for the countless beasts heeding his path! "By Nagare, the Sword of Currants..." Surge said as he hold up his sword before he placed it in his driver. "With dazzle and style..." Rarity whispered. "...that we WILL protect our loved ones!!" They both declared as they turned their books to their sides before they place them in their drivers. Surge then draw out his sword as Rarity press the button on her driver and the wheels in their books spun around and opened up. Unsheathe the Current! Paladin, Stand! DEPLOY THE MANE! Giant version of the book open up behind them as two lions made of ice jumped out those books. "Henshin!!" Both Surge and Rarity shouted as Surge slashed his sword and ice covered Rarity and they both transformed into their new rider forms. SPEARHEADINGTHE CHARGE IS: TATEGAMI ~HYOUJUU SENKI! GAO!! LONG GET! Aqua's new forms is similar Blades' but it had crystal blue up her arms and legs with lion heads on the shoulders. Her book like chest plate is pure white with Blades's symbol in the middle while the rest of her armor is pure white. Even her sword's blade was crystallize blue. "They look so fluffy and shiny!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she and the others are amazed by both Blades' and Aqua's new forms. Zooous, however, roared as he charged at them. Meanwhile, Durandal and Stream took a moment before they charge at Saber and Ember. "Durandal. Stream-" Master Logos' voice called out to them before they could clashed blades with Saber and Ember. "That will be enough." He told them. "Very well." Both Durandal and Stream said. "But not until they stopped drawing breath!" Durandal shouted as he turned and raised his blade to strike Saber. But Master Logos wave his hand over the Southern Base's portion of the Omniscient Tome and it glow bright. Just before Durandal could clashed blades with Saber, he disappeared, along with Stream. Both Saber and Ember were looking around to see if they were trying get them by surprised, but nothing. So they took out their Wounder Ride Books from their drivers and transformed back to Flash and Twilight before they fell to their knees from exhaustion as Shining Armor and Light went over to them. "You both did it, Flash and Twilight!" Light told them. "The rest is Surge's and Rarity's..." Twilight said. "But we know they'll win." Meanwhile, both Blades and Aqua blocked Zooous' punch with their swords when he got close to them. They then struck Zooous on the side to make him step back before they slashed him a few times with their swords. When they swing their swords upwards, a flake of snow kicked up as Zooous was struck by them. More snow was kicked up as they struck him again. The flacks of snow looked to be coming off their swords with each slash. "I sense it..." Both Blades and Aqua thought. They slashed their swords again and struck Zooous again. "This power is the crystallisation of our predecessor swordsmens' wishes...!" With each strike they could see the swordsmen of water before Surge copy each strike along with each Paladin of Water as well, including themselves. Zooous stood up after another attack from Blades and Aqua before he burst through a wall. Blades and Aqua pulled down a switch on the side of their book and the pinwheels in the center of them spun around before they stop and the red arrow on them glowed. BEASTS OF THE GREAT SKIES They then pushed forward the switch on the top of their books. TATEGAMI GREAT SKIES STRIKE! Ice burst off their backs before they gathered on their backs to form wings. They then lift off the ground and took off after Zooous. Zooous crawled outside of the base with Blades and Aqua flying after him. Zooous soon crawled up before he shot a couple of fire balls at Blades and Aqua, but they flew out of the way before jumped higher on the outside as he continued to throw fire balls at them. Blades and Aqua continue to dodge each fire ball as they fly after Zooous who is climbing higher on the base. Zooous then throw a piece of a pillar at them before he fired another Fireball at them. Both Blades and Aqua dodge both before they continue to fly after him to the top. Zooous broke a statue on the base and threw it towards them. Both Blades and Aqua sliced and diced the statue the pieces before they send those pieces right back at him. One of the pieces hit him and send him flying as more pieces struck him while in the sky. Soon both Blades and Aqua flew at him while a giant snow flake form behind them before they rider kicked at full speed. Those kicks send him straight down into the ice and under the water. While under the water, Zooous try to swim away as Blades and Aqua dive into the water before they flipped the switch on their books and the pinwheel spun around again before they pushed the switch on the top. BEASTS OF THE GREAT SEAS TATEGAMI GREAT SEAS STRIKE! The wings on their backs turned into shark fins and tails as they froze the water around them before sending sharp shark teeth right at Zooous. Zooous could not out swam the teeth as it launched him out of the water and he crashed on the ground as Blades and Aqua leap out of the water. "Zooous!" Blades shouted. "You chose the vile path of a monster! Something the collective wills of our swordsmen would never lose to!!" He then place his sword back in his driver. Zooous stood up and roared like a mad beast as Blades and Aqua pushed the switch on the top of their books for the finisher. FINISHING CHILL Blades then draw out his sword as Aqua press the button on her driver to make the pinwheel in their books spun around. Unsheathe the Current! Paladin Chill Strike! Both their swords glowed bright as they prepared to strike. They then charged at Zooous as he went over to a giant sword like peg that is attached to the Northern Base's chains and lift it out of the ground before throwing it at them. Both Blades and Aqua dodge and cut the giant peg in half as they continue to charge at Zooous. TATEGAMI ICE FANG SLASH! As soon as they reached him, they slashed him as they passed and multiple ice pegs followed them and cover Zooous. Zooous stood between the ice pegs frozen solid before the sun shine down and his human spirit was shown reflecting off the ice. "Aren't you both strong." Zooous's human spirit said to both Blades and Aqua before smiling. "See you around." Were his final words before the ice shattered and Zooous exploded. Soon both Blades and Aqua transformed back to Surge and Rarity before Surge stab the ground with his sword. "Shishou..." Surge whispers the name of his late master. "I've done it...!" Rarity gave Surge a warm hug as she was proud of him. "Surge!" The voice of his master called out to him. When they turned around, they saw Shishou smiling at Surge. "You've discovered what it truly means to be strong." Shishou told him. "Of course you did, as my beloved pupil! And Rarity, take good care of him for me." They both nodded as Surge shed a tear of happiness to see his master. His master then patted Surge's head as he once did when he was just a boy before he vanished. "We vow to bring their necks the next time." Wave said to Master Logos as he, Mist, Starlight, Sunburst, and the cloaked figure returned to the Southern Base and kneel before him. "It's no issue." Master Logos told him. "That power has now morphed into a Wonder Ride Book..." On a table next to Logos are the Wonder Ride Books they stole from the others, even Terra's main book. And infront of him are the Swords of Lightning, Tremors, and Echoes. "...making it easier to obtain." Mist and Starlight thought back to when they were at the Northern Base and they saw Zooous dragged both an unconscious Terra and Applejack behind him as they took the Sword of Tremors. Back at the Northern Base, the riders returned to the meeting room as Surge and Rarity sneeze as they stood outside for too long. "Excuses us." Rarity said. "You both did it, Surge." Beat told him. "Yes! And we kept our promise." Surge said to Flash and Twilight before he and Flash fist bump before he sneezed again. "That desired to save one's loved ones will lead to saving the world, some day." Sophia thought to herself. "Those very same desires from your predecessors...Blades. They're now yours to inherit and pass on." Meanwhile within the Northern Base, Storious unlocked a door and walked into a room with a larg white book on a pedestal in the center. "Now there's a most fascinating book!" He said as he took the book with a mischievous grin. The Story Continues > Volume 1, Chapter 33: Still, the Future Can Change. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Southern Base's throne room, Mist and Starlight kneels down infront of Master Logos as he sits in his throne. "Our plans are progressing smoothly." Logos told them as he place his hand on the Southern Base's portion of the Omniscient Tome. "Sabela and Steam, please gather the remaining Sacred Swords... Additionally, we're finished with the Swordswoman of Wind. That failure is undeserving of her sword." "As you wish, Master." Both Mist and Starlight said to Master Logos. Meanwhile somewhere in the city Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis are alone to talk. "In the future I saw..." Velvet started. "Surge fell by Zooous' hand and Rarity was lost..." She told them as she remembers how it was not she saw it and how the riders saved both Raritys. "So why did it end with them saving her and beating Zooous?" Tirek asked. "Perhaps the Sword of Shadows isn't all seeing as we believed it to be." Chrysalis said in a disbelief tone. "Regardless, how this ends still..." Velvet said as she grabbed her sword. But the moment she touched the handle, the Sword of Shadows gave her a vision. She saw Master Logos holding Ikazuchi as he walked towards her. It showed her knocking the sword out of his hand and then her sealing the it. "I..." She said when she had that vision. "We're sorry!" Rarity and Sweetie Bell said to Sophia at the Northern Base while everyone else was cleaning up after what happened. "I gave my sister the key you gave us when it was my turn to keep safe because I wanted to go to the pool with my friends, Button Mash, Rumble, and Tender Taps. Along with my mom..." Sweetie Bell explained. "And I lost it after me and my pony counterpart were saved." Rarity said. "That's alright. Don't worry yourselves." Sophia told them with a smile just as Light came through the door. "We're back!" Light said. "Light! Are Terra, Applejack, and Sunset alright?!" Surge asked in a worried tone. "They're fine. I did what I could with my power." Light answered him. "The rest is up to modern medicine." In the hospital Terra, Applejack, and Sunset are recovering from what happened at the Northern Base. Apple Bloom, Big Mac, and Granny Smith were in the room where Applejack is resting. "That's good." Fluttershy said with relieved. "Light, did you manage to find your friend in the end?" Twilight asked. "I was curious too. Who's this "old friend" of yours?" Flash asked. "He's one of "The First", named Viktor." Light told them as she picked up a broom. "He watches over Wonder World." She said as she inspected the broom. "The First?" Surge asked. "Viktor?" Sprit asked. "He's putting his body back together after Master Logos attached him." Light told them, which confused the others. "Or so the brid said." She told them. "Brid?!" Everyone but Sophia asked in complete confusion. "I'll introduce you sometime." Light told them. "Hang on, we just have more questions now!" Beat said. "Oh that's right..." Pinkie Pie said as she remembers something. "Here, Light. A badge of our friendship!" She took the broom from Light and replaced it with a badge. "How interesting." Light said as she is amazed by it before she saw four more in Pinkie's hand. "And those four?" She asked. "We need to bring Wind, Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis home and join forces." Surge told Flash and Twilight. "Master Logos will be chasing them." "Me, Flash, and Shining will get my mom, Tirek, and Chrysalis." Twilight said. "We won't leave them alone this time." Sprit flew over and land on Twilight's shoulder. "I'm coming with you!" Sprit told her. "Your mom is like a second mom too me. I don't want to lose her again too." "Me and Rarity will look for Wind." Surge told them as Rarity came down the stairs. "Blades. Aqua..." Sophia called out before they were about to head out. "Please exercise caution. That power you both have obtained may itself be a target." She warned them. "Me and Rainbow Dash will tag along." Light said as she stepped up. "Yeah!" Rainbow Dash said. "You'll need all the help you can get." "But, Flash and Twilight..." Surge said as he looked at them as they gave him a smile. "We'll have Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis with us." Flash told him. "We'll call if anything happens." He said as he and Twilight headed out. After they left Surge, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Light headed out to find Wind. At the Southern Base in its Libération, Wave had his shirt off as he swing his sword as he is training. After how Saber and Ember was able to counter him and Stream back at the Northern Base, all he could think about is getting pay back. "Wave..." Mist said as she watched him practice. "During the previous battle, me and Starlight witnessed a Megido infiltrating the Northern Base... If the Master truly is colluding with them..." "What nonsense." Wave told her. "But the timing was too convenient! What if they planned..." Mist try to say before Wave interrupted her. "Do not anger me! Carry out the Master's orders." He told her before he went back to training. "Very well, Wave..." Mist said with a bow. Meanwhile in the Southern Base's meeting room, Starlight and Sunburst were alone as she told him what she saw back at the Northern Base. "I can't believe that the Megdio were there at the same time as us." Sunburst said. "Yes, I couldn't believe it either but they were there. I believe that the Swordswoman of Light was telling the truth, and that means we can't trust him." Starlight said before the cloaked figure that attacked Sunset came through the doors. Both Starlight and Sunburst quickly acted like nothing was going on as the cloaked figure took off her cloak and it was Sunset Shimmer. "I almost had her." This Sunset said as she remembers how she had the other Sunset on the ropes before she tackled her and took her Book Gate to escape. "Next time, she won't be so lucky and I will take back the life she stole from me." Meanwhile under a highway bridge, Wind is eating a cup of noodles before she heard someone coming. So she quickly grabbed her sword and clashed blades with Desast before they both pulled back. "At least your skills haven't dulled." Desast told her. "How long are you going to keep this up?" Wind asked as she went back to eat her noodles. "How about you? How long's this lost puppy act going on for?" Desast asked Wind, but she didn't answer. "That Swordswoman of Lightning..." He said as he sat down next to her. "Just forget about her. Come with me." Wind stop eating and looked at him. "You aren't going to get stronger like this." He told her. "You're unbelievable." Wind told him as he chuckled. Meanwhile in the park Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis walked up to a tree Velvet's daughter and her friends once played by with her sword sitting on it. They turned to see Flash, Twilight, Sprit and Shining here and walking to them. "Flash, Twilight, Sprit, Shining..." Velvet said when she saw them. Twilight was holding the pop-up book in her hands. "We have nothing to talk about." She told them as turned her back to them and picked up her sword. But she stopped and noticed that Twilight and Shining are smiling at her. Meanwhile Surge, Rarity, Rainbow, and Light were still looking for Wind. "I can't sense her sword, so how are we going to find her?" Light asked. "Good ol'fashioned questioning! Leave this part to me!" Rainbow Dash told her as something past Light that got her attention. As Rainbow Dash and Rarity was asking around about Wind, Light was following a cart. "Huh? Light?" Surge asked as he noticed she was gone. "I see. Thanks." Rarity told the person she and Rainbow was asking as Surge went off to look for Light. When they turned to tell Surge and Light what they found out, they were gone. "Seriously?! Where'd those two go?!" Rainbow Dash asked. Back in the park, the group was sitting under the tree. "We've been waiting to have a chat with you. Especially you two." Shining said as he looked at, not only his mother, but Tirek and Chrysalis. "We never got to sit down proper after I got my memories back." Twilight told her mother, but still they gave no response. "This is similar to where the four of us played, laughed and made memories, wasn't it." Sprit said as she flew around the tree. "It is, but then..." Twilight said as she remembers that day. "Everything changed that day, 13 years ago." She remembers how she, Arabia, and Sprit lost Star all those years ago. "Shining came to get me and Star to take us home. But then, the attack..." She remembers when Sombra what Calibur and attacked. She remembers how Star was being sucked into a vortex and how she try to hold on to Twilight. "If I had kept my promise to Star that day..." She remembers how she couldn't hold on much longer and she lost her friend. "It was a promise..." She said. Both Tirek and Chrysalis looked away as to not let them see their looks of regret as they felt sorry for what they have done. Velvet looked down and saw the three pins with her, Tirek, and Chrysalis on them next to Twilight. So she picked up the one with her on it and looked at it. A part of her wants to go back and help them, but she's afraid of the future if she does. "Twilight, we are going to find her." Flash told her. "Like that guy told us, she's still alive and we have to find her to save our world and Equestria." Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis were a bit surprised to hear what Flash just said. "So please Velvet... We need you three. We want to fight by your side. We still believe that your still yourself, Velvet, just as you've always been. You even saved Sophia for us..." "Sophia connects our worlds." Velvet told them. "Master Logos created her to be an artificial imitation of Star. She's crucial to the restoration of the Omniscient Tome." Flash, Twilight, Sprit, and Shining could not believe it. "Sophia is an imitation of Star...?" Shining Armor asked as Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis was getting up. "We're done talking." Tirek told them. "Our foul future unavoidable..." Chrysalis told them as Velvet picked up her sword. "Don't decide that on your own!!" Twilight shouted as she stopped them from leaving. "You're just keeping yourselves in the loop, and try to shoulder everything AGAIN!! I..." Twilight started to cry. "...don't want to lose you again, mom...!" Flash and Shining held her back before she looked away from her mom. "Whatever future you saw..." She looked down before she looked at her mom. "Explain it properly to us at least!!" Velvet looked at her children and was scared to tell them what she saw. The world being erased, and both her kids on the ground as they began to vanished. She carried out to them as they were being erased with the world. "I..." She spoke in a scared tone before she realized that this was in her visions. "We're out of time." She told them before a lightning bolt struck the ground. When the electricity dispersed, they can see someone with his hood up walk towards them holding, not only the Southern Base's portion of the Omniscient Tome but Ikazuchi the Sword of Lightning. "Having a nice lunch? Mind if I join in?" Master Logos asked them. Meanwhile under a highway bridge, Mist arrived and both Wind and Desast saw her. "My, how you've fallen." Mist told Wind. "Once a outstanding swordswoman for the Northern Base...is now friends with a Megido?" "And I heard the true enemy is Master Logos?" Wind asked sarcastically. "No wonder you always looked shady!" She told Mist. "Silence." Mist respond. "I'm taking your Twin-Wind Sword." "Stay outta this." Wind told Desast as she took out her sword. "Strength is justice." She said as she place her Sarutobi Ninjaden book in her sword. "Henshin!" She shouted as she split her one sword into two and slashed them as she, surprisingly, transformed into Kamen Rider Kenzan. She somehow un-did the seal that was place on her sword. ~Hayate, the Sword of Zephyrs! Mist had her sword out as she place her Konchuu Daihyakka book in her sword. Single the Change! "Henshin." Mist said as she pulled the trigger and the book open up as she transformed into Kamen Rider Sabela and charged at Kenzan. ~Konchu-chu Daihyakka! The two clashed blades as they fought. Kenzan swung her sword down as Sabela dodge it before they clashed blades. Kenzan then spin kicked Sabela back "Flash Sentry. Twilight Sparkle." Master Logos said as he looked at them. "Pleased to meet you both..." He then took off his hood and show his face to them. "...but it's not our first time." Flash, Twilight, and Sprit were shocked to see the face of Master Logos as thet seen it before. "You're from..." Sprit said as she, Flash, and Twilight remembers the time they first came to the Southern Base and he let them to where Storious was. "This is Master Logos." Tirek said in dark tone as he, Velvet, Chrysalis, and Shining glared at him. "You're the one...?" Twilight asked as she looked at him. "What do you want with the Omniscient Tome?!" "Create a world where both humans and Equestria's creatures can enjoy life." Master Logos respond. "You're lying!" Velvet shouted. "You'll use that power to obliterate both worlds!" "How rude." Logos said. "I'm simply creating a world free of conflict. The screams of humans and Equestrians will be replace the birds chirping at dawn. Doesn't that sound nice?" He asked with a wicked smile. "I think we have a different definition of nice!" Sprit shouted as she hide in the tree. "What the hell are you saying...?" Flash asked in an angry tone. "Both worlds inhabitants are but pawns on my chessboard." Logos told them. "Now, your Sacred Swords if you will." He said before he slash Ikazuchi and a bolt of lightning nearly hit them. But they all rolled out of the way before it could. "How dare you!!" Twilight shouted at him. "We humans and the Equestrians..." She, Flash, and Shining took out their drivers, as well as their Wounder Ride Books. Elemental Dragon Dragonic Paladin! "...are NOT your pawns!!" Both her and Flash shouted. "I will seal all the swords in your possession!" Velvet told Logos as she, Tirek, and Chrysalis had their drivers on and took out their Wounder Ride Books before placing them in their drivers. Jaaku Dragon Wonder Paladin After each of them place their Wounder Ride Books in their drivers, they activate them and their books opened up. Kurayami, the Sword of Shadows! Paladin Stand! Unsheathe the Flame! Paladin Stand! "Henshin!!" They all shouted as Flash and Velvet slashed their swords and they all transformed into Kamen Rider Saber, Ember, Drake, Calibur, Shade, and Umbra. ~Elemental, Dragon! ~Dragonic Paladin! ~Jaaku Dragon! ~Wonder Paladin! "Seeking vengeance for Sombra?" Logos asked the riders. "Him along with you two were quite the obedient and loyal pawns." He said as he looked at Shade and Umbra. "You two and him believed my words, and sacrificed the girl for w-" "That's enough from you!!" Calibur interrupted him as she, Shade, and Umbra charged at him and clashed blades. "The reason why that girl vanished..." Logos continue as he pulled back and when he swiped the sword up, electricity caused them to jump back. "...was because you two and Sombra brought that chaos 13 years ago!" He then clashed blades with them. "Sombrw threw that girl to her death." "Sacrificed Star...?" Ember asked when they heard him as Calibur and her two paladins pulled back and try to slash at Logos. But he stepped back from their attacks before ducking under another. Then the Southern Base's portion of the Omniscient Tome open behind him as he grabbed Gekido from it and struck them with it. He swung it again and cause them to slide back next to Saber and his two paladins. Gekido, the Sword of Tremor "This started with you tempting us...!" Umbra shouted. "It was because of you that Star, Arabia, and my family were torn apart!" Calibur shouted at Logos as he smiled. "Because of you, Star's gone...!" Ember realized. "Even if she returns, I'll simply exploit her again." Logos told them. Each rider was angry at Logos because of the kind of man he is before they each charged at him. Each of them brought their swords down, but Logos easily struck them first and made them step back. Both Saber and Ember they dodged one of his attacks and try to strike him. But he blocked them as Drake and Shade charged at him. Logos dodged them when they thrust their swords at him, before he struck the four of them with the two swords he has a few times before they fell to the ground. "My husband will never come back now..." Calibur said as the others were getting up. "So I will save Star at least!" She declared. "We're taking Star back!!" Ember shouted as she, Saber, and Drake got up and they all charged at Logos. Logos quickly brought both swords up as the riders brought theirs down and they clashed. As they struggle to get one over the other, Rekka began to glow and send power to both Saber's and Ember's books in their drivers. They both saw this, as did Drake, Calibur, Shade, Umbra, and even Logos and they all wonder what was happening. Sprit, who was watching the fight, saw the pop-up book open on its own and before a shock wave of power knocked the others off balance. As a result, the riders transformed out of their rider forms as multiple rainbow bubbles floated over the place. They all looked around as they were some how in Wonder World. "What was that...?" Flash asked. Sprit flew over to Twilight as they all looked at the pop-up book and their eyes widened over what they are seeing. "That's..." Twilight said as the pop-up book turned into what looked to be a fracture in reality itself. Inside the fracture is a little girl with bright yellow hair with a star braid in it. Twilight and Sprit looked closer into the void and they quickly recognized that little girl. "Star...!" They both said, surprising the others. "It can't be..." Tirek said with doubt of what he and the others are seeing. But it was true, that little girl sitting in the void is Twilight's and Sprit's long lost friend, Star Shine. "Star!!" Both Twilight and Sprit to her as they ran toward the void. Star turned to see her her two old friends there and smiled. "Twilight! Sprit!" Star shouted with glee as she ran to them. They continue to call out to each other as they were getting close. But just as they were about to reach each other, the fracture quickly fixed itself and closed before returning the riders and Logos to the real world. Twilight fell to the ground as she try to stop herself when it closed. "Star... Star...!" She and Sprit called out. "Star!" Both Flash and Shining went over to them and try to comfort Twilight. Both her and Sprit saw that the fracture was gone and they were back in the real world. "We knew you were still out there..." Twilight said as she began to cry. "Star...!" Sprit few towards the pop-up book and try to look for the page it open itself up too. "Come on! I saw the page, what happened to it?!" Sprit quickly flipped through as she desperately search for the page. "I've laid eyes on something interesting." Logos told a speechless Velvet, Tirek, and Chrysalis before he walked away while both Twilight and Sprit cried their eyes out over their lost friend. Desast lay across a beam as he watched Kenzan continue to fight Sabela, but was getting bored. Kenzan front flipped before she clashed blades with Sabela when she landed. When Sabela thrust her sword forward, Kenzan dodged her attack and brought her sword down just as Sabela quickly brought her's up to block the attack. Kenzan then kicked Sabela back before she charged at her. color=#be4343]Noroshi Vapoursect Sabela turned into smoke and vanished before Kenzan could strike her. Smoke streams flew everywhere as Kenzan try to strike one of them. The smoke quickly gether around Kenzan before they reform back to Sabela as she got Kenzan on her back. "My how weak, miserable, and pathetic you've become." Sabela told Kenzan. "I'm NOT weak!!" Kenzan shouted before she spun around to try and get Sabela off her. Sabela jumped off Kenzan as she fell to the ground. Sabela put her foot down on Kenzan's arm and chest. "The Master has no further use for you." Sabela told Kenzan as she pointed her sword at her. ""What good is a failure of a swordswoman?", he said." She brought her sword up and ready to end Kenzan. "Calamity Strike." Desast called out his attack as he jumped down and send a slash wave at Sabela. Sabela dodge the incoming attack as Desast land on the ground. He quickly turned and send another slash wave at Sabela as she back flipped to dodge it. "You..." Kenzan said as she is shocked that he saved her. "That stench..." Desast shouted. "It reeks of an awfully delightful hatred. It absolutely tickles the nose." He approached Sabela as she brought her sword up from keeping him from getting closer. color=#be4343]Noroshi Vapoursect Sabela turned into smoke just as Desast thrust his sword at her. The smoke stream flew around, and Desast waited before he turned and struck Sabela just as the smoke stream reformed behind him. Sabela rolled on the ground after she got struck before Kenzan ran at her and they clashed blades. Desast then charged at Sabela after she clashed blades with Kenzan and struck her. Kenzan slide under Sabela's attack when she swung her sword as Sabela step back from an attack from Desast. Then all three began to clash blades with each other before both Kenzan and Desast part ways when Sabela slashed between them. They then flipped at her from both her sides before they struck her together. "Oi, oi, you copying me?" Desast asked Kenzan. "No way! I was faster!" Kenzan shouted before she charged at Sabela. Noroshi Vapoursect Sabela turned into smoke just before Kenzan could strike. Multiple smoke stream flew around and just as they gathered behind Desast, he struck them and Sabela fell back. "How is he predicting my attacks?!" Sabela asked as Kenzan charged at her. "Move!!" Kenzan shouted as she pushed Desast out of the way. "You will face judgement together!" Sabela told them as she pressed a button on her sword for a finisher. Super Noroshi Vapoursect Bugs flew around and struck Kenzan a few times before spider legs from Sabela's back webbed Kenzan up. Billowing Insect Dance Flash! Just as Sabela was about to deliver the final blow, Desast ran in and cut Kenzan free from the web before he took the hit as he exploded. Kenzan was surprise that Desast sacrificed himself before Sabela charged at her. Just before she could reached her before, a blast of water caused Sabela to jump back. Both her and Kenzan saw it was Surge who shot that water blast as he ran over to Kenzan. "Wind, are you alright?!" He asked as he had his sword out and stood infront of Kenzan. "One nuisance after the other..." Sabela said. "I vow by Nagare, the Sword of Currants..." Surge said as he holds his sword up before he placed it in his driver and took out his Tategami Hyoujuu Senki book. TATEGAMI HYOUJUU SENKI "...that I will protect my loved ones!" He declared as he opened up the book to reveal the story within. The battle-worn sliver mane carving a path through the blizzard for the countless beasts heeding his path! He turned the bool to its side before he placed it in his driver and drew out his sword to make the pinwheel in the center spin. "Henshin!" He shouted as he slashed his sword and he transform into his final form. Unsheathe the Current! DEPLOY THE MANE! SPEARHEADINGTHE CHARGE IS: TATEGAMI ~HYOUJUU SENKI! GAO!! LONG GET! Sabela charged at Blades and swung her sword ar him as he ducked under her attack. The two then began to clash blades with each other as Kenzan stood up and took out the book from to transformed back to Wind. "Surge helped me...?" Wind asked as she watched Blades and Sabela fight. Sparks went off as the two clashed blades before smoke covered them. FINISHING CHILL! Ice froze the smoke as Blades drew out his sword for his finisher. Unsheathe the Current! TATEGAMI ICE FANG SLASH! Blades burst from the ice as Sabela attack him with spider legs. He blocked each leg and froze them before he send ice shards right at her. Sabela rolled on the ground after that attack. "You trampled over the bonds my friends shared..." Blades told Sabela. "Now face your retribution!" He shouted before he flipped the switch on the side of the book until it stopped on the yellow arrow. Beats of the great lands! He then pushed the switch on top of the book as a lion's mane made of ice formed on his back. TATEGAMI ICE LANDS STRIKE! He then stab the ground with his sword and the area around Sabela froze, even her feet. Blades then change at Sabela and struck her while she was frozen in place. But when he turned around, she was gone. Sabela got out and transformed back to Mist before she walked away. When the fight was over, Wind turned and leave. Rainbow Dash and Rarity dragged Light to the same spot where Surge is. "Oh there he is!" Rainbow Dash shouted when she saw Surge before they ran over to him. "Why is it so cold?" Rarity asked as they felt a chill. "Light, what is that you're holding?!" Surge shouted as he saw Light hold a bowl of soup. "The guy told me to blow on it before eating." Light said before she blow on the soup. "Wait, now's now the time..." Surge snapped out of it as he noticed Wind was gone. "Wind!" He called out. As Wind walked away, her shadow stopped on its own as Desast rise from it. "Hey now, where's my thanks for bailing you out?" Desast asked Wind, but she didn't even stop to look at him. "Don't remember asking you to." Wind told him. "I'll get strong enough to never have to ask for help." "And how will you do that?" Desast asked her. "I'll go wherever you are going, just like you wanted." Wind answer him. "Then in the end, I'm going to beat your ass." She declared as she pointed her sword at him. She then continue to walk as Desast began to laugh. "Sounds good!" He shouted. "This is going to be fun!" He cought up and put his arm around her. "Don't you think?" "Hands off." Wind told him as she pushed him off her. "Embarrassed?" Desast asked as he continued to follow her. Back in the park, the group were still shocked by what they just saw before Twilight walked up to her mother. "We can avoid our worst future." She told her mom. "I think that's what Star's telling us!" Velvet thought about it for after what happened. "Please promise you'll fight with us! If you do, we can definitely save the world!" Twilight she told the three. "A day will come when all of us can smile again." Flash said as he walked up next to Twilight. "Maybe Flash and Twilight really can..." Velvet thought before she, Tirek, and Chrysalis walked away with no response to them. "No, I won't let them." She thought as they left. "Mom!!" Twilight called out before she looked down and saw that her mom dropped the pin. She picked it up when she saw it. "Even if we do, you and your bother are going to..." Velvet thought as she thought about her vision of her kids disappearing. "I'm the only one who can save them...!" Sprit flew over to Twilight and sat on her shoulder. Twilight and Shining watch their mother walked away with Tirek and Chrysalis. Back in the Northern Base, Sophia enter the room where Storious stole the white book. "They did take the book..." She said with a worried tone. Meanwhile in the Megido lar, Storious looked at the book he stole with a wicked grin as he looked behind him. He was creating his own Sophia with the power of that book. Meanwhile at the Southern Base, Logos was in a room with multiple platforms floating around. "I never imagined the girl connecting our worlds to appear." He said to himself as he picked up a familiar black book up from a pillar. "It's time to open the Book of Ruin once more and give Sunset Shimmer her rider." The Story Continues Next Volume.
