KKD: Finally back after... I forgot how long. But now, with me playing Fire Emblem Heroes (fun game with my best unit being a 5-star Hinoka) I figured it'd be good to return to this old concept. Since Awakening had a hopeful message in it, I figured this Rider crossover fit well, much better than Kiva (no offense to Fennikusumaru). You'll see what I crossed over with this in a bit. For now, let us begin.

"RRRAAAAAAHHHHH!"
It just seemed like a battle like none before. A blue haired lord (clad in blue with some silver armor) was fighting against a dark haired and tanned skin sorcerer, the former wielding a familiar blade known as Falchion while the sorcerer fought using the power of a single tome to make his hands spark with a dark lightning at him. The two went at it for a while until two armored figures joined in the fight.
The first of them being a male in a mostly black bodysuit with silver trim (a cloak-like appearance around the legs), red on his helmet, chest, wrists, and ankles, all while having a mystic theme to him, including having dragon designs etched into his shoulders, a strange silver belt with a buckle featuring two levers on either side of a gold-trimmed black hand design, and a loop of rings on his left hip (with a ring on each hand). He wielded some sort of strange weapon that had the same gold-trimmed hand as some sort of attachment to this weapon that seemed to be a sword, but could easily flick down and turn into what appeared to be a gun of sorts firing off silver bullets engulfed in fire.
The second figure was a female that was also clad in a black bodysuit, with the exception of having short white gloves reaching up to the wrists. The armor adorning her body being mostly golden with the left shoulderpad designed with the head of a lion, and the chest having its mane, the right shoulderpad having just a tuft of hair. Even her helmet looked like that of a lion's with a silver mouthpiece, green eyes, and red gem in between. Her black and silver belt was somewhat similar to the male's, but the centerpiece in the buckle had the face of a lion emerging from what appeared to be cage doors with two odd pieces hanging off the sides with indents in each, and on her own black ring loop, compared to the refined gemmed rings the male figure used, are the female's own rings which were all hexagonal with somewhat pronged edges, different flatter designs that also showed more detail in them, and all black instead of silver. Her weapon of choice appears to be a form of rapier in the same gold and silver as her own attire, but having a die inside of the hilt that would spin, and an indent similar to those on her belt buckle.
As the sorcerer fired off a few dark fireballs at the blue haired lord, the golden lion armored female helped him dodge before thrusting her rapier at the dark man, who swiftly dodged. Yet this left him open to a few shots from the black and ruby-clad man with his gun. However, the shots missed at first as the sorcerer seemingly vanished.
"Where'd he go?!" the female gawked as the blue haired lord looked above them.
"Up there!" he shouted, the three looking up to see their foe creating another sphere of dark magic, firing it down upon them as they all dodged in time, the jewel-clad man firing fiery silver bullets back up at the dark-skinned man, who just vanished again.
"You fool!" the sorcerer scoffed as a sudden burst of blue lightning hit the lord, knocking him down to his knees, as he struggled up with Falchion after the smoke cleared.
"Chrom! You alright?" the gold-clad female checked to make sure, as her male partner looked to see the dark man forming another sphere of dark magic, cackling loudly as he prepared to launch it.
"DIE!" he shouted, firing the sphere as the red and black armored man swapped rings on his right hand, using the levers on his buckle to flip the hand (currently set on the right handed side) twice to reset it on the right side again, switching rings on his right hand to a ring with an orange jewel with silver helping it depict a dragon holding a shield, holding the ring out in front of his buckle.
=DEFEND! PLEASE=
Thus, when he was in front of his allies, the man in black, silver, and red armor held out his right hand, creating a barrier between him and the blast. Once it dissipated, the armored man glared at the sorcerer from under his helmet, the latter also glaring his red eyes at the warrior as Chrom and the gold-clad female stood up, standing side-by-side with their ally, Chrom standing in between the two armor-clad beings.
"This is it! Our final battle! You're one of us now Logan, Lora, and no 'destiny' can change that.
"Of course," the girl, Lora, nodded as she prepared her rapier, "With our combined might, we can keep these fools from bringing forth the despair they desired to bring."
"Right. After all… in the face of this great evil… we are… the final hope," Logan nodded, shifting his weapon into its sword mode.
"Now let's kill this dastard and be done with it," Chrom added.
"Now… it's showtime!"
The three begin to approach the the sorcerer who began to cackle.
"Ha ha ha! Why do you resist? You are no hopes for anyone, final or not. Despair shall come to all, and all shall end in despair," the sorcerer scowled.
"You're wrong, Validar!" Chrom shouted, rushing in, blade slashing at the sorcerer, who deflected the strikes with his magic.
"Gya ha ha! Fools! Struggle all you want! You cannot unwrite what is already written!" Validar scoffed, preparing his tome once more as the threesome rush in, "The Fell Dragon shall rise again, and bring forth the ultimate Sabbath on all mankind!"
After one or two strikes from each of the three combatants, the sorcerer, Validar, launched another blast of powerful dark magic, which Logan swiftly defended.
"Well, I guess we should go all out… right Wizard?" Lora checked with Logan, naming his hero form, as she slipped on a blue ring with a golden lion design that had red eyes and a cyan crystal in its head.
"Yea. It's Lunchtime, Beast," Wizard smirked, naming Lora's hero form, as he pulled out a silver ring with a diamond, the designs looking very regal in it making it look like a crown.
Wizard placed his ring on his left finger while Beast placed hers on her right as she went first, slamming it into the side of her buckle before removing it.
=HYPER! GO! HY-HY-HY-HYPER!=
With the sound of a lion roar, a golden magic circle appeared before Beast as it phased over her along with a golden aura chimera, her black bodysuit turning blue, with the torso now having the lion more prominent on the chest with red eyes and mouth, a new crest over her red eyes, golden mouthpiece, and blue helmet to match the mane. And in place of the rapier, she now wielded a blue and gold pistol with an elongated ring spot, and lion designs all over it. Then, Wizard flipped a switch on his belt, making the hand design go to a left handed one as he flashed his left hand over the buckle, creating a glittery white pulse
=INFINITY! PLEASE! HI-SUI-FU-DO! BOU-ZABA-BYU-DOGON~!=
After a burst of the glittery white magic via the circle and a flying crystal aura dragon, Wizard's bodysuit was now a brilliant silver, and the ruby was replaced by a beautifully cut diamond look, having added guards to his hips, a high collar and broad pointed shoulder pads, a small gold, silver, and ruby dragon at the base of his neck, and his helmet was like his ring in which it was resembling a diamond and a beautiful crown.
Despite what happened, all Validar could do was laugh.
"Seriously?! A change in appearance will do you NOTHING to stop the Fell Dragon! Despair is imminent! There is no hope left!" Validar scoffed.
"You're so wrong, Validar!" Beast growled, preparing her gun, Chrom wielded Falchion, ready to strike as Wizard walked slowly, stood between his compatriots, and simply held up his Infinity Ring hand.
"...Ore ga saigo no kibou da," he muttered as he did so.
Validar scoffed at this as he launched more spells at Wizard, but none of them did a thing to the armored mage… or rather Dread Fighter.
"Koi! Dragon!" Wizard shouted as the crystal dragon appeared again, shapeshifting into a sort of sword-axe hybrid weapon, held in the sword position, the crystal shattering to reveal the red guard that was the dragon's wings, the silver head, golden neck, the same hand symbol on one side, and even the dragon's tail was the blade, and Wizard grabbed it by the handle for sword mode before flipping it over.
=TURN ON!=
Wizard then charged in with his AxCalibur (its white wing beyond the red glowing a rainbow of colors), slashing at Validar as Beast blasted him from her position and Chrom readied Falchion. After Beast launched a few blasts at Validar, Wizard slashed using his AxCalibur and Chrom joined in using Falchion, both knocking the sorcerer back a bit.
"Time to end this!" Chrom scowled, reeling back his blade, "Beast! Wizard! NOW!"
"Saa, Main Dish da!" Beast smirked, opening the jaw of her blue ring, revealing the red inner mouth as she prepared to place it in the spot below the mirror device in the position the gun's hammer would be in while Wizard held his weapon so the hand design was facing Validar.
"Finale da," Wizard responded as Beast placed her ring in the place on her gun, causing the mirror to light up, revealing a lion face behind it, and Wizard high-fived the hand on his Ax.
=HYPER!=
=HIGH TOUCH! SHINING STRIKE!=
With that, Beast aimed her gun at Validar as Chrom prepared his blade while Wizard swung his AxCalibur around as it got bigger and bigger.
=KIRAKIRA! KIRAKIRA! KIRAKIRA! KIRAKIRA!=
After a few swings made it giant sized, Wizard leaped into the air, ready to slash down on Validar with his AxCalibur.
"NOW!" Chrom shouted, rushing in as Beast let her ring out of her gun.
=MAGNUM STRIKE!=
Beast then fired her finisher attack, creating a golden aura chimera that leaped out and chomped on Validar before Chrom slashed at him with Falchion before Wizard finally came down with his AxCalibur, delivering a massive blow to the sorcerer as he stood frozen in place.
After a huge explosion, Wizard's AxCalibur reverted to its normal size as Validar fell to his knees, and then to the ground, still emitting dark magic. Still, Beast and Wizard sighed with relief as they looked at a panting Chrom. They all smiled at each other until Wizard noticed something.
"Grah! This isn't over!" Validar managed to growl with glowing red eyes before summoning one last orb of dark magic and aiming it at Chrom, "DAMN YOU ALL~!"
"ABENAI!" Wizard shouted, confusing Beast and Chrom before the armored Dread Fighter pushed the two aside and stood in between them and the sphere, taking the impact of the blast, the area turning white for him.
After a bit, the armor faded from Wizard's body, revealing a man with brown hair, brown eyes, and wearing a black cloak black gloves, all over a white shirt, light brown pants, black boots, and some silver trim. On the cloak's back, it has four circular patterns in red, blue, green, and yellow, all inside a silver circle. This man collapsed to the ground, drained of energy as Beast's armor faded, revealing herself to be a woman with purple hair in a ponytail, blue eyes, and wore a similar cloak to Logan, but the cloak is trimmed mostly in gold and had a different pattern on her back. Lora rushed over with Chrom to help Logan to his feet, all three panting.
"Logan!" Lora responded in a panic.
"Are you alright?" Chrom asked, holding up Logan's head.
"Ugh… y-yea, I'm fine… but… what about Validar? Did that attack…?" Logan grunted as Chrom and Lora helped him up.
"That's the end of him."
Logan just panted, struggling to regain himself as he looked up and saw the remains of Validar fading away in a pillar of purple smoke and dark magic.
"Thanks to you two, we carried the day," Chrom started, "We can rest easy now. At long last..."
However, before Chrom could finish this, Logan gripped his head in pain as his heart rate suddenly spiked, vision blurred and pulsing red as he tried to slow his breathing, and his ever increasing heartbeat rang in his head along as the voices around him were muffled. He gripped his head tighter, and his hyperventilating got the attention of Chrom and Lora.
"Logan?" Lora asked, backing up a bit.
"...What's wrong?" Chrom asked, about to help Logan, who grunted in his hyperventilation when he stood up, "Hey, hang on-"
*SHANK!*
Chrom grunted in pain as Logan seemed to regain himself finally, stepping back to find a bolt of lightning magic pierced through Chrom like a sword or dagger. What's worse for Logan as Chrom steps further back, is that he saw the residual sparks of electricity coming from his own hand, indicating that he jammed it through Chrom himself.
"No… Wh-What have I done?! ...Ch-Chrom, I… I'm sorry, I-" he started while Lora stared back the whole time in complete shock.
"This is not your... your fault…" Chrom grunted out as he seemed to feel the last of his energy fading from him due to the still jolting bolt in his chest, "Promise me… you'll escape from this place… please, go…"
With these few words, Chrom collapses to the ground, the bolt dissipating as Lora just stood there, looking very horrified of what happened as Logan got down on his knees next to Chrom's still form.
"No… no no! Chrom! CHROM!" he cried out, tears falling from his eyes, feeling great remorse for what happened to his friend before screaming to the heavens in despair, "CHROOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
As the howls of despair reached above, Validar's laughter echoed in the air.
How did this ever happen? Why did this happen? Or did it? ...Yea, it's really confusing now, isn't it? My name is Logan, and yes, I'm the same Logan who became the hero in this story known as Wizard, and this story is rather complicated… but I'll take what I can to recall the events as best as possible. And the events as I remember them, happened about two or three years prior to this event, which I saw as a sort of vision… and while I didn't know it yet, I'd vow to prevent this from happening, ending all the despair brought by Validar and the threat of the Phantoms… as I bring forth the new Awakening of Hope.
(Cue Opening Theme Song: Hero by Skillet)
*As the instrumental begins we see our lead, Logan, floating in darkness for a bit until he rose his hand and his Flame Style Wizard Ring appeared on it, and he appeared in the field with Chrom, Lissa, and Frederick helping him up*
I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
*The Shepards are seen fighting against some brigands, Logan casting spells and slashing his sword with them*
Losin' my faith today
(We're fallin' off the edge today)
*We make a quick cut to a later part where we see Emmeryn crying, our focus on the tear*
*Logan struggled to his feet as he glared up at the Phantoms coming his way, most in silhouette, as he recalled something from the past where he was in despair, purple cracks forming on his body*
I am just a man
Not superhuman
(I'm not superhuman)
Someone save me from the hate
*Logan then stared out at the armies against the Halidom of Ylisse, standing with Chrom, Lissa, and the Shepards as they looked past the forces.*
It's just another war
Just another family torn
(We're falling from my faith today)
*We get a glance at the villains including Gangrel, Aversa, Validar, and a figure wearing a black, gold, and purple cloak floating behind them before we cut back to the heroes, as Logan flips his Wizardriver into position and flashes his Flame Style ring across it, transforming into Wizard.*
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world we live
*Suddenly, Wizard and Chrom were on the battlefield, fighting together with their blades, Wizard casting magic spells as Lissa healed them and Frederick attacked the brigands on his horse*
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero (save me now)
*Wizard quickly transitioned between forms by passing through their magic circles, Water Style splashing one Phantom aside before leaping up, going Hurricane Style to kick another Brigand and then suddenly stomping down as Land Style, causing rocks to scatter and hit more foes*
I need a hero to save my life
A hero'll save me (just in time)
*Wizard turned to see a figure in blue wearing a mask as the figure faced off against Chrom, both clashing the Falchion at each other*
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero (save me now)
*Wizard is then seen riding Wizardragon into battle, blasting more Phantoms aside before he's seen staring at Chrom and a woman holding a child as he turned to Lissa, smiling*
I need a hero to save my life
A hero'll save me (just in time)
*After several attacks at the screen, Wizard posed alongside Lissa, Frederick, and Chrom as the title "Fire Emblem: Awakening of Hope" appeared above and behind them.*
KKD: And that folks is my new story. I hope you're excited for it as I'm gonna get back to this soon. If you have any suggestions such as possible pairings (bar Chrom, Lissa, Lora, and Logan as I have plans for them), let me know in your reviews. Until then, this is KKD Silver signing out. Jaa ne. Man it's good to be back.
