Disclaimer: I do not own Kamen Rider or any of its series. They are owned by Toei since 1971.
A lot has happened over the last chapter and I do mean a lot. I do apologize for some parts of Chapter 5 if they seemed rushed. I was trying to add more to the chapter, but it kept dragging on, and I wanted to get the next chapter up and running. I've been re-watching Wizard again to get the juices flowing again, but I am starting to get the feeling of updating Shinkenger and even start a Gokaiger fanfic too, while also fitting Wizard in as well. Two things I wanted to mention, the characters are all speaking in Japanese, even though the text I write is in English, and the line when Will makes mention of beautiful women being monsters is meant as sarcastic humor, something that will be explained in the Ch 7. Also, the scene with Will waking up with Yuki will be explained in a much later chapter, but not yet, and the backgrounds and descriptions of the four new Phantoms will also be explained in the next chapter, I wanted to introduce them in a sudden fashion. I am glad that people are loving the story so far and it's going to keep going from here.
Chapter 6: The Dark Wizard meets the Ringed and Ancient Wizards
The three riders charged into battle with their weapons ready, followed in part by Satyr, who charged alongside his cohorts Roc, Leviathan, Behemoth, and Cherufe, along with the two Talos Automos.
Beast ran to fight Leviathan and Behemoth, using the Dice Saber to fight them. Swinging and stabbing at Leviathan, whose weapon blocked his stabbing attack. When he tried to attack again, their weapons were fighting one another, they were locked in their weapons grasp. This gave Behemoth the opportunity to attempt a charging attack at Beast. Beast sensed the charge at the last moment, and with his sword locked in Leviathans weapon, he jumped off the ground and used his right foot to kick back Behemoth, knocking the Phantom back. After Beast regained his footing, he spun his sword around, unlocking the weapons grip, and allowing Beast to thrust a stab into Leviathan. Leviathan was knocked back by the attack.
Necromancer ran towards Roc and Cherufe with the Blast Scythe, slashing at both of them, while the two Phantoms back stepped at his attacks. As Necromancer backed them into a corner, the Phantoms grabbed his scythe and pulled him towards them, striking him with their weapons and knocking him back. Before he could even get back up, one of the Automos had come up from behind him, getting its hammer ready to strike. Rolling to the side to get out of the hammers strike, he ran to back to the two Phantoms, strike kicking Roc, and punching Cherufe, retrieving his scythe back. Though he continued to fight, the hand he threw the punch with was throbbing in medium pain.
Wizard fought Satyr using the WizarSword, fighting each other blow for blow when the sword met Satyr's cane. Haruto took a large strike at Satyr's cane, breaking it in half. Satyr could only smirk, the cane was meant to be a dual wielded weapon, using the left side of the cane to strike Haruto. Haruto retaliated by kicking Satyr back and slashing him with the sword a few times.
The battle continued onwards as the three wizards continued to fight the Phantoms, often switching their combatants, until finally the three were back to back of one another, surrounded by the phantoms. Meanwhile, Shunpei, Koyomi and Rinko watched the battle from a distance.
"These guys are good. Really good actually" said Haruto.
"You said it. Necromancer, you got any ideas?" Kosuke asked, hoping that Necromancer had an idea on how to deal with them.
"I do, but it would be easier if we didn't have all four of them trying to attack us at once!" Will replied.
"While that would things easier, right now we have to deal with four of them. What do you have in mind?" asked Haruto, his hand ready at his ring belt.
"Mind if I ask why are you asking me what we should do?" Will asked in response, questioning why they are asking him what to do, but also how to get out of the mess.
"They came alongside Satyr, we assumed that you might have an idea of what they can do?" Kosuke answered, while both of this hands were on his saber.
"Alright, let's see, Roc is sensitive to anything that can affect his flight. Cherufe gets a lot slower if he's not lit ablaze, but get him angry, and, well you don't want to know. Leviathan and Behemoth both have nasty tempers, well at least Behemoth does, Leviathan I'm not sure about though, I've never understood how he works. But with Behemoth, he has a short temper, but when he can't attack his target, he gets ticked off." Will responded, hoping they would get the hints. "You think we can do this?"
"Oh, I'm way ahead of you! Right Kosuke?" said Haruto, pulling out the Water Dragon Ring.
"Don't have to tell me twice!" Kosuke replied, pulling the Chameleo Ring.
"We split on three, then we attack" said Will.
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
"Water, Dragon! Jabajaba, Bashan! Zabun, Zabun!"
"Chameleo! Go, Cha-Cha-Cha-Cha-Chameleo!"
In Water Dragon mode, Haruto took on Roc and Cherufe, kicking and striking the two, while also dodging their attacks. The effects of the Water form managed to lessen the heat coming from Cherufe, however Roc was still a hassle. Roc kept beating his wings, flapping the wind furiously at Haruto, with Cherufe adding his fire to the wind gusts.
"Very Nice! Blizzard! Fabulous!"
The Blizzard ring went into effect immediately, blowing not only the blizzard snow at them, but blowing the heated wind as well. The combination became a gust of water, splashing at Roc and Cherufe, soaking Roc's wings and cooling off Cherufe's flame.
"My wings! They're soaked! My precious wings!" screamed Roc, whose wings dripped while he tried to flap them.
"Forget your wings, I'm cooling my ass off! I need the heat, why is it so damn cold!?" shouted Cherufe, whose body was cooling like lava when it hits water.
Haruto continued to attack the Phantoms while he had the chance, the water serving as an excellent distraction. Using the WizarSword and kick attacks to fight them.
Beast activated the Chameleo Mantle to fight Leviathan and Behemoth, slashing with the Dice Saber at Levithian, while also deflecting the Phantoms attack. When Leviathan managed to get a few hits in, Kosuke used Chameleo's special attack, swinging the mantles tail around and around, whipping at the Phantom, until he managed to knock the Phantom off its feet. Behemoth came up from behind Kosuke, who quickly turned around to block the charging Phantom with his sword and knocking him back. Kosuke used the invisibility effect to disappear, moving around Behemoth, and whacking him with the sword.
"Where did he go?! What is it that keeps hitting me from behind?! ARGH!" shouted Behemoth, whose temper was starting to flare up.
"Hey, behind you!" Kosuke announced, slashing the Phantom hard enough to knock Behemoth on top of Leviathan.
"Get off me! You weigh over a ton, try losing some weight!" Levithian said, trying to get its partner off.
"You're not the one who just got hit like a whack-a-mole! And what's your problem with my weight!?" replied Behemoth, who also struggled to get up.
Necromancer went to go deal with Satyr, the two fighting each other blow for blow with their cane and scythe. At one point, Satyr's cane locked with Will's scythe, the two warriors were staring face to face with one another. Satyr used this to his advantage, pulling out the cane side that was free and striking Will with the weapon.
Will stepped back, letting go of the weapon. Satyr threw the scythe to the side, charging at Will with his cane. He too charged at Satyr, kicking the cane out of Satyr's hands when he deflected the attack. Satyr threw some quick jabs at Necromancer, while Necromancer kicked and threw a few quick punches as well. However, the punches were again starting to injure Will's hands.
Within a quick moment, Satyr jabbed Will in the gut, kicking him back to the ground. Will looked at Satyr charging at him, picking up his cane, ready to strike him. Will held out his hand, somehow managing to summon his scythe to his hand, blocking the attack, before the two were locked in the heat of the fighting once more.
"Pretty good Necromancer! You've improved!" said Satyr.
"Oh really? Because I thought I was still warming up for you!" Will replied keeping his stance up, but began to notice the ground shaking. One of the Automos was coming from behind him, at least that is what he could see from the window reflection nearby. This was something he had to decide on at that moment, if he kept his scythe locked in battle, then the Automos would clearly be able to strike, but if he tried to stop the Automos then Satyr could attack him or even one of the civilians?
The two kept their blades locked, and Will decided to take the hit from the Automos, all to keep fighting Satyr. The Automos was behind him, ready to use its hammer. Just as the hammer was coming at him, he didn't feel anything hit him. He slightly turned his head to see Haruto standing in between him and the Automos, blocking the attack with his sword.
"Necromancer, you defeated these things last time, do you think you could do it again?!" shouted Haruto, who struggled to keep the Automos at bay.
"I used my Fracture ring, hang on!" Will replied, reaching for the ring on his belt.
"NO!" screamed Satyr, who swatted the ring from Will's hand, the ring flew from them landing right near Koyomi. "I will not let you destroy them again!"
"I lost the ring!"
"Oh great! How are we supposed to defeat these things now?"
"Remember what I told you the last time, use heat and pressure to take them down!"
Haruto didn't know what he meant by those words, but he listened closely, and managed to put the pieces together. "I get it! Kosuke, use the Buffa Mantle and lure that other thing here too!"
Kosuke nodded in response, luring the second Automos towards the fight.
"Haruto-san, what exactly is it that you intend to do?" asked Kosuke
"We are going to heat them up and break them down!" Haruto replied, holding up the Flame Dragon ring.
"Good thinking Haruto-san! I get what you are planning!"
"Necromancer, try to lead Satyr away, we'll deal with these two. Think you can manage that?"
"With pleasure!" Will responded, unlocking the blade lock and slashing Satyr a few times with the scythe, then leading the Phantom away from the fighting.
Haruto used all his strength to push the attacking Automos back from him, knocking it back into its double.
"Flame, Dragon! Bou-Bou! Bou-Bou-Bou!"
"Very Nice, Special! Fabulous!"
"Buffa! Go, Bu-Bu-Bububu-Buffa!"
Haruto used the Drago Skull fire-breath on the Automos, noticing the two statues were starting to become red. The bodies were beginning to heat up, as if they were about ready to melt.
"Kosuke, do it!" shouted Haruto, watching Kosuke spin the disk on his saber and inserting the ring.
"Four, Buffa! Saber Strike!" using the Saber Strike to summon four bison's to charge right into the Automos at full speed. The bulls charged through them, breaking the statues like glass. The two watched as they fell to pieces.
"NO! NOT AGAIN!" Satyr screamed again, distracted by the sight of his creations being destroyed again, and also noticing his Phantoms lying on the ground beaten.
"It's always the same with you Satyr, you always underestimate your outcome before it happens. Like I've told you, no matter where you go, in the end, I'll be there waiting for you and I will stop you!" Will said in a forceful yet empowering tone.
"Oh keep thinking that wizard! One day, I will find a way to beat you, I will find a way to break you and your spirit, even if it means the end, Phantoms, Mist!" proclaimed Satyr as a mist surrounded him and his Phantoms, disappearing into the wind.
The three Kamen Riders powered down and walked towards each other. The first formal introduction to between the three.
"That was quite a good show wouldn't you say?" Will asked, trying to somewhat lighten the mood. In all fairness he was actually somewhat nervous at this point introducing himself to them.
"I'd say it was ok. Pretty interesting way you entered the fight by the way." said Kosuke
"Thank you. So which one is Wizard and which one is Beast?" Will asked.
"I'm Kamen Rider Wizard, Souma Haruto" Haruto replied.
"And I'm Kamen Rider Beast, Nitoh Kosuke" replied Kosuke.
"Well allow me to introduce myself as well. I'm Kamen Rider Necromancer, William Athos, or Will for short. Great to finally meet you Haruto and Kosuke." Will added. "Glad to see you guys received my message last night, I almost got worried you never received at all?"
"Interesting, we were a bit suspicious about the message. We didn't know if it was real or not, and what exactly did you want to talk to us about.
"I kinda figured you'd question the validity of the message, and the fight just now answered most of what I wanted to talk abou…"
"Haruto!" said Koyomi, who came running with Shunpei and Rinko to the three. Koyomi appeared to be holding something.
"Ah Koyomi, glad to see you guys are ok." replied Haruto.
"So is this the foreigner from yesterday?" Rinko asked.
"It's him, he's the guy who sort of hit on Koyomi yesterday!" answered Shunpei.
It took Will a moment to realize that Koyomi was the girl in the store from yesterday. At that point he felt embarrassed
"About that, I feel awful about that, and Koyomi was it, I greatly apologize for my actions. As I explained in my message, there were some outside forces involved."
Koyomi didn't say a word to Will. She just looked at him, as if she were studying him.
"What do you mean by outside forces?" asked Haruto, who was somewhat interested in what he meant by these forces.
"Well it basically….Ah God damn it!" yelled Will, whose left arm started throbbing as he explained.
Rinko looked at his arm, checking if there were any wounds.
"You've got a nasty cut on your arm. Went right through your sleeve. No need for stitches, but definitely needs to be looked at." said Rinko.
"I must have nicked it from one of Medusa's hair snakes, or from Satyr? I don't remember much?" Will said, holding his arm.
"Let's take him to the shop and patch him up. Then will you tell us what we need to know?" asked Haruto.
"I'd be more than happy to tell you guys." Will responded, following them to the antique shop, where he would tell them everything he knew.
