Chapter 15: I, Will Stay True, To My Convictions

Tassel: Minna-san... My name is Tassel... Oh! 

He rushes closer to the camera.

Tassel: We've got a terrible situation on our hands here!

He then crouches at the camera's level.

Tassel: Very terrible!

A book opens a pop-up page to show a theater-like scene. Shows what happened from the previous chapter.

Tassel: Out of all the locations from many realms Calibur and his goons have sent to Wonder World, five of them created pillars of light. If one more were to activate, the giant book in the center will open, connecting Earth to Wonder World, and granting the Megiddo and Bular incredible power! Touma has finally regained his memory, but now Kento has fallen to Calibur's blade!

At the Northern Base

Touma, Emma, Elise, Leon, and Azari were in the infirmary, where Kento lays unconscious on a bed.

Elise strongly holds Kento's hand while Touma sat next to him worried about him. Emma comforts Touma while Azari comforts Leon.

Touma then opens the first page of his pop-up book.

Touma: The three of us would always read this book together...

He then remembers Him, Kento, and Luna reading the book together.

Touma: But, even so... I still end up forgetting about the promise I made.

He then closes the book and a small tear sheds from Kento's closed eye.

Emma: It appears that Kento was under the impression that you died from the incident 11 years ago.

Touma: He carried the burden all on his own... Like he always does.

Leon: But he was thrilled to discover that you had survived. He said that the three of you still had a chance to keep the promise you made.

At the Megiddo Base

Zooous: All that's left... is one more.

Legeiel: Once that door opens... The power of many realms will be ours for the taking.

Zooous and Bular started laughing while Storious smiled.

Storious: That is... If the Swordman of Lighting doesn't appear again.

Kagero: No matter... All we need is a Holly Sword, after all.

[Jaaku: Indeed, you do. And one you have.]

Back to the Story

Rai, Icchi, Kaito, Laura, Gaius, Elliot, and all the other students of Class VII were all in the lobby grieving for Kento.

As Touma, Elise, Emma, Leon, and Azari enter the room Icchi rush to them.

Icchi: How's Kento-senpai?!

Touma: He's still unconscious.

Kaito: If we don't do something, then his soul will be consumed by darkness!

Touma: There has to be a way to save him!

Rai: Only Calibur knows how to with the Sword of Darkness!

Kaito: Our Holy Swords and Wonder Ride Books are what created those pillars in the sky.

Touma then realized something.

Touma: Just like 10 years ago! 

Everybody in the room was shocked to hear what Touma had said.

Touma: Back then, a door opened at the center of six pillars of light!

Rai: Did your memories come back?

Touma: Yes. They said that connecting six realms would allow them to obtain great power.

Rai: So they only need one more pillar before the book at the center opens!

Leon: We have to put a stop to them.

Icchi: I'm gonna avenge Kento myself!

Gaius: Hey! He's not dead yet.

Elise: Alright, let's band together and beat them!

Jusis: Elise, it's not that simple.

Leon: Only one location remains. The Lighting Realm and the center.

Touma: Then the last pillar would need... the Sword of Lightning!

Kaito: Either that or... Calibur's Sword of Darkness

Touma: Then the answer is simple. We defeat Calibur, and take his Holy Sword! That way we can save both Kento and the six realms!

Touma then rushes out the door. Leon then follows him. As Icchi was about to follow them Rai stops him, he also mentioned that his injuries are still healing. But Leon still left the room.

Rai: Those brats! You can't just run off without a plan!

Laura: Your one to talk, Uncle Rai!

Then all the book Elise holds started to glow.

Elise: Oh no, we got a problem!

In the Lighting Realm

A Megiddo Goblin arrives in the Lighting Realm. He opens his book making the area of the Lighting Realm disappear into Wonder World.

Kagero then appears

At the Northern Base

They watch the book.

Rai: Damn it... He's gonna finish this himself!

Elise: Then we should get going! Let's go!

She was about to exit the room. Gaius stops her.

Gaius: Elise, you have to stay here!

Elise: What, again?

Gaius: Look after Kento.

Elise then went along with Glise's request.

He and Rai went for their weapons.

As they turn around to see Kaito and Laura holding them and giving them to them.

Laura: Let's do this... For Touma... and for Kento.

Kaito: I shall stay behind and fulfill my duty.

The two of them took their weapons

Rai: I'll leave you to it, then. Let's move, kids! Icchi!

Icchi: Alright!

Everyone except Kaito then exits the base.

Kaito then places two big blank books in the capsule under the main computer.

In the Lighting Realm

Touma and Leon made it to the scene with Emma and Azari behind them.

Leon: You were once a swordsman chosen by a Holy Sword! Why are you doing this?

Kagero: I've cast everything aside, all in the name of obtaining the universal truth.

The two girls were shocked to hear

Touma: Is that why you're sacrificing all these people? Even Kento?!

Kagero: They are all necessary sacrifices.

Touma: Then we'll stop you!

Kagero: Is that so?

He then brought out his book and placed it over the scanner

Jaou Read!

He then placed it in the driver. Then he used his sword handle to press the button of his driver opening the book.

Then Touma and Leon insert their books in their drivers.

Rekka/Nagare Batto!

Kagero, Touma, and Leon: Henshin!

Kagero then merged with Jaou Dragon.

Jaou Dragon!

Calibur: Such feeble powers won't be enough to stop me.

Touma merged with Brave, Storm, and Wukong, while Leon merged with Senki, Peter Pan, and Pegasus.

Fantastic Lion~!

Crimson Dragon~!

Saber: We will stop you. And we'll save Kento!

They charge straightforwardly to Calibur.

With Kento

Kento remains laying in bed.

Until he starts to open his eyes.

He then got up from bed, to see the book next to him. He then opens it...

Kento: Luna... Please protect Touma...

When Elise enters the room, she sees that Kento was gone.

Elise: Gaius-san is going to be so upset. Kento! Where are you?!

With Saber

Saber and Blades were thrown a few meters away.

Calibur then places his book over the scanner.

Hissatsu Read!

Jaou Dragon!

Dark energy covers his blade.

Kurayami Hissastsu Geki!

He then slashes downward.

Before the energy slash came in, an earth wall come in and blocks the attack. The wall then got destroyed to reveal Buster, Kenzan, Laura, and Gaius have arrived at the scene.

Buster: Calibur! No, Kamijo... I've got a mountain of questions for you! 

Gaius: But first, you're gonna tell us how to save Kento!

Calibur: Don't bother. He can't be saved.

Saber: What?!

Calibur: Once someone is consumed by the power of darkness, their very existence shall vanish.

Saber: Then we'll just get the sword to do it after we've defeated you! We'll use its powers to free Kento from the darkness ourselves!

Calibur: Do you really think you will be able to?

Saber and Blades get back up on their feet.

Saber: You're right we can!

He then sheaths his sword back in his driver and pressed the trigger.

Hissatsu Dokuha!

Buster: When men get fired up, there's nothing we can't do!

Then he places his Wonder Ride Book on the scanner.

Jackun-to-Domamenoki!

Kenzan: I'll prove to you how strong Kento is!

Then he places his Wonder Ride Book on the scanner.

Kobuta 3Kyoudai!

Blades sheaths his sword into his driver.

Blades: This is for both Kento and the realms!

Hissatsu Dokuha!

Saber unsheaths his sword.

Rekka Batto!

Calibur closes his book and pressed the button with his sword.

Jaou Hissastsu Geki!

All the swordsmen throw their own element energy slash at Calibur.

But as the energy slashes made their way to Calibur, he absorbs the energy and summons Jaou Dragon and his four golden dragons ramming the Sword of Logos members.

You are over.

The explosion caused them to fly a few feet away. Blades struggles to get back up. Gaius, Laura, Azari, and Emma came in to help them up.

Buster: Didn't I say you still needed healing?!

Calibur: This ends here.

He lifts his sword while the blade gains dark energy. 

Saber: No!

Saber quickly gets up and charges at Calibur. He then jumps to hit the sword, but Calibur dodges it and as Saber lands, he slashed his sword upward.

Emma: Touma!

Gaius: Novelist!

The Megiddo then comes into the scene and charges straight toward Blades and Azari.

Jaou Hissastsu Geki!

As he charges dark energy on his sword, Espada comes in and attacks the Megiddo. Espada pushes the Megiddo away from Blades and Azari then slashes it, then Calibur sends his energy slash, causing the Goblin to explode, the energy slash went through the Megiddo to Espada.

The energy slash caused an explosion on Espada.

Blade: Kento!

Saber: Kento!

Buster: Kento!

Kenzan: Kento-senpai!

The explosion caused Espada to revert to his normal form. Saber rushes to Kento

Calibur sword and book start to glow creating a purple pillar of light.

Everyone was thrown out of the taken realm.

Blades then revert back to his normal form and crawls all the way to Kento.

Blades: Why did you do that?

Kento: We're family... Why wouldn't I...? More importantly-

Leon: I know! I will carry out my duty! And... I will save you!

Kento: Guess that's just how your mother raised you, huh?

Leon smiles

Leon: After all... I am only half homo sapien.

Everyone was touched by Leon speaking up, not as an elf, but as a true human.

Elise then comes into the scene.

Elise: Kento! There you are! Geez, you're crazier than I-

Saber: Elise! Please... take care of Kento!

Both Saber and Leon got up on their foot. The two rush out of the scene and Kento blacks out.

All six pillars glowed.

Calibur: At last, the door opens.

He turns around to block Blades' attack. He pushed him aside, Saber comes in but Calibur dodged him. Then the other available swordsmen come in.

Kento: Everyones-

Elise: They're giving their all.

Emma: Touma...

Azari: Leon...

Gaius: Icchi...

Laura: Uncle Rai too.

Elise: And so should you, Kento.

She holds his hand.

Buster slams his sword but Calibur clashes against it.

Kento: Ogami... has always been blunt, rough with his words...

Calibur then Buster off.

Kento: But he looked after me...

Kenzan jumps in

Kento: Icchi's cheerfulness...

Kenzan clash against Calibur.

Kento: Always brought a smile to my face... Even if he's a bit much at times... Daishinji always helped maintain our swords for us...

[Flashback]

One day, Kaito was repairing Kento's sword.

[End of Flashback]

Kento: But I never properly thanked him... Leon...

Calibur slashes Blades' chest.

Kento: He's always serious and stiff... But his passion and strength rival no other...

Leon: "Kento, we're not just comrades... We're family..."

Saber blocks Calibur's attack with his sword and threw him off him and swings his sword horizontally.

Kento: Touma...

Kento starts to cry.

Kento: Touma's...

Emma: Touma! Hurry! I don't think he can hang in any longer!

Saber: Kento!

The pillars then create a colossal white book in the Earth Realm

At the Megiddo Base

Zooous and Bular laugh evilly. Legeiel smiles with an evil grin.

Storious: And there it is.

With Saber

Saber: The door to the universal truth...

Calibur then kicks him in the stomach. He then swings his sword in a circle at the other swordsmen forcing them to revert to their normal forms.

All except Saber.

Saber: No you don't!

He then sheath his sword in his driver.

Hissatsu Dokuha!

He then unsheathed it.

Rekka Batto!

And tries to slash Calibur. But the Swordsman of Darkness dodged it then he sheaths his sword in his Hissatsuholder

Kurayami iai! 

He then slashes Saber.

Shuutoku Issen!

The attack was so strong that it reverted Saber back to Touma

Emma: Touma!

Calibur: You aren't strong enough to protect anything.

(Flashback)

Touma tries to save Luna but failed in the end.

Luna: Touma!

Luna gets sucked into the book.

(End of Flashback)

Luna: "Touma!"

Touma: No...

Touma struggles to get back up. But instead, he crawls for his sword.

Touma: I will protect them.

He tries his best to get back up.

Kento: You can do it, Touma... I believe in you...

Touma finally gets back on his feet.

Touma: I'm going to save Kento and the realms!

All of a sudden, Brave Dragon Wonder Ride Book and Rekka start to glow.

At the Northern Base

The book flip to the third page.

(Scene Change)

The gray large Wonder Ride Book glows red and starts flowing around the base and shooting itself out the base.

Kaito smiles.

(Scene Change)

It creates a large aurora in the sky that travels all the way to the city. 

Where it floats to Touma.

Calibur: That's...

Touma recognized it.

Touma: The book... from before...?

Luna: "I know you can do it, Touma!"

Kento recognized that voice.

Kento: Luna... Luna...!

Touma: Luna?

He then reaches for the book and grabs it. Then all of a sudden, he was sent to the void. Brave was floating next to him.

Touma: Brave, where are we?

[Brave: I feel like I know where we are, but, I can't remember.]

???: You two are in a special kind of void.

Touma and Brave then turn to see a swordsman...

???: Long time no see, Brave

Touma: Who are you?

[Brave: Touma, this is Ryuga. One of my many previous partners.]

Touma: Where are we? I know we're in the void, but...?

Ryuga: This is a special void where a new Saber is to be introduced to the previous Sabers.

Then more swordsmen appear behind Ryuga.

Ryuga: We are your predecessors, Touma. We are the previous Swordsmen of Flames. We were all once Brave's partners.

[Brave: It has been long since I have seen my previous swordsmen. My partners. My friends. Everyone from Ryuga to...]

Ryuga: We don't have the time, old friend.

He then turns to Touma.

Ryuga: Touma, what we are giving you and Brave a new power. We are going to combine all of our power with yours. Once you insert the book into the driver and you will gain all of our power and it will convert your form to nothing that we have even gained.

Touma returns to reality as he opens his eyes to see the book in his hand.

Dragonic Knight!

He then opens the cover page.

"Dodekai ryu o dohade ni norikonasu dokyuu no kishi no dramatic battle..." (A dramatic battle of the class of knight who flashily rides a huge dragon...)

He unsheaths his sword and the book opens.

Rekka Batto!

He got sent to the flaming library.

Touma: Henshin!

He swings his sword to make the flaming X.

Don't miss it!

As Brave came out of the book a shining armor floats around Touma

 (The knight appears. When you side,) Do-metallic Armor! (The knight appears. When you side,) What a metallic Armor!)

The armed merged with Touma and Brave.

(You have no grief and the flame is bright) Do-hadenikku Booster! (You have no grief and the flame is bright.) What a stylistic Booster!)

He transforms into...

Kamen Rider Saber Dragonic Knight!

(Ride on dragon, fight.) Do-hakuryoku Rider! (Dragonic knight.) Dragonic Knight! Sunawachi do tsuyoi! (Ride on dragon, fight.) What a dauntless Rider! (Dragonic Knight.) Dragonic Knight! In other words, he's very strong!)

Everyone was amazed at Touma's new Saber form.

Saber: Brave... This new power.

[Brave: You have unlocked a new power, Touma. You now have the power of all Sabers before you.]

Calibur: So you've obtained a new power... but it's no use!

He then sends a dark energy slash, but the flames around Saber took the attack as his own and send it back to Calibur.

Saber: You said you didn't need any friends...

He walks straight toward Calibur. Calibur slashes Slash, but the armor protects him. Saber then blocks Calibur with his left arm and pushes Calibur away with his sword.

Calibur charged at Saber, fortunately, a firewall appear in front of Saber.

Saber: But the only reason I can fight is because I have my friends by my side!

Rai: Go for it, Novelist!

Icchi: For Kento!

Leon: Go!

Azari: Go!

Gaius: Go!

Laura: Go!

Emma: Go!

Elise: Go!

Dragonic Booster!

Calibur sends a dark energy slash to Saber, but Saber punches it to be destroyed with his Dragonic Booster.

Spicy!

Calibur sends another energy slash, luckily Saber broke it again. Calibur was shocked to see this.

Saber: Your strength may come from casting everything aside, but for me... No... For us...

He then opens the mouth of his Dragonic Booster.

[Brave: Our strength...]

Saber brings out Brave Dragon Wonder Ride Book

Saber: Comes from wanting to protect the people we hold dear to!

He then placed it in the Booster.

One Reading!

Brave Dragon!

Saber goes to an attack stance.

He then presses the button.

Flame Spicy!

He shoots fire out of the emblem of Rekka. Calibur does his best to block the attack, but the blast threw him a few feet away.

Dragonic Booster!

Unknown to him the monk watches behind him.

???: So you overcame all the trials...

Saber: Our convictions will become our strength!

Calibur gets back up.

Calibur: You're too late. The universal truth is already within my grasp.

Jaaku appears out of his book grabs Calibur by the shoulder and flies to the colossal book in the sky.

Saber then presses his book three times which summons Brave out.

[Brave: Touma, get on my back!]

Saber: Alright!

Saber jumps onto Brave's back and they chase after Calibur and Jaaku.

"The knight appears. When you side, you have no grief and the flame is bright ride on dragon, fight. Dragonic knight."

Everyone smile as they cheer for Saber and Brave.

Brave shoots fireballs at Jaaku then Brave charges at Jaaku and slashes his sword at Calibur.

Calibur: One day you will understand. 

[Jaaku: Some things in these realms can only be obtained when sacrifices are made.]

Saber then slashes Calibur five times.

Calibur starts his finisher

Jaou Hissatsu Dokuha!

Saber: The ending of this story... Is ours to decide!

Saber sheaths his sword into his driver and presses the trigger

Dragonic Hissatsu Dokuha!

He then unsheathed his sword.

Rekka Batto!

The two Riders charge at each other.

Kurayami Hissastsu Geki!

Dragonic Issatsu Giri!

Saber/Brave: Divine Flame Draconic Slash!

Their sword clashed against each other.

Saber went through Calibur causing Calibur to explode. Kurayami was the only thing that survived.

Saber: Brave, we need to close the book.

[Brave: Leave it to me!]

Brave then shoots a fireball at the book creating a barrier around the book.

Kento smiles at the whole thing, but he passed out.

(Scene Change)

Touma searches for where Kurayami landed.

Kaito then enters the scene.

Katio: Touma! It's Kento...!

Touma's worried expression got bigger as he rushes to Kento. He sees that everyone is gathered around Kento as dark auras surround him.

Touma: Kento!

He kneels down to Kento.

Kento: Touma...

Touma: It's okay... Kento... Luna's alive!

Both of them started to cry.

Kento: I know... I heard her too.

Touma: The three of us were supposed to be together forever! I failed, I couldn't save someone again...

Kento: No... You did save me. And not just you... You all saved me. You saved my soul...

Touma couldn't accept that he was going to lose his childhood friend.

Touma: Kento...!

Kento: I just wish... I just wish I could have kept fighting alongside you. I'm grateful... for everything. For everything, you've done for me... Please... Protect this realm... This realm is our home, please protect it.

Touma holds Kento's hand.

Touma: I promise!

Rai: We won't let you down!

Icchi cries like a little boy.

Kaito nods.

Leon: Of course!

Elise: I promise too!

Emma: We all promise you!

Kento smiled a little, and then he turns to Alangina.

Kento: Alangina... Please help Touma... Protect the Realm.

[Alangina: I will... My friend...]

The dark energy around was on the verge of taking its toll. Touma flipped him on his back.

Touma: Kento...! Kento...!

Kento: Touma... Touma!

The dark energy has finally made it and Kento's eyes turn red.

Touma: Kento!

And in the end, Kento disappears. Alangina also disappears, because without a swordsman the Spirit of the Wonder Ride Books can't appear physically.

(Scene Change)

Kurayami remains plunged into the ground where its dark aura surrounds it.
