Kamen Rider Date A Live

"Ok!"

How should I put it... even though it's a name and surname I've thought about for a long time, saying it out loud like this is something that makes me feel embarrassed in every way.

"Shido!"

"...Tohka! Yatogami Tohka!"

Tohka's satisfied smile contrasted sharply with Shido's blushing face, which was as red as a boiled crab.

However, seeing the girl so happy just from having a name, Shido felt a mix of emotions. Just then, a sudden change occurred! A fierce killing intent suddenly emanated from the area!

"Danger!!"

At the crucial moment, Shido didn't care about hiding anymore and summoned his belt to transform instantly! As he stood in front of Tohka, a loud "crackling" sound rang out, and the classroom wall was instantly destroyed.

Even Tohka didn't see it; a flash of blue light appeared in an instant!

Eyes' Tip

Congratulations to Shido for completing the Truth or Dare event! The reward is agitω's Battle Instinct Fusion.

The Fourteenth Chapter: My Date, My Name, and the First Appearance of Darkness (The End)

The Fourteenth Chapter: My Date, My Name, and the First Appearance of Darkness (The End)

As the smoke dissipated, what appeared before Tohka was not the golden armor she had seen before. The armor on her body had changed from gold to blue, and the shoulder armor on her left shoulder had also changed. Her left arm was also covered with a layer of blue armor. A faint aura swirled around her, and she held a halberd with mysterious runes on its blade in her hand.

That's right, this is agitω's storm form!

"Shido...you, you are..."

"I'm sorry, Tohka, I didn't mean to hide it."

Shido turned around and looked at Tohka. Only then did Tohka realize the difference between this armor and the one from last time.

The color of the belt's core had changed from gold to blue, and the compound eyes on the helmet were no longer dark red, but a bright red. However… beneath those red compound eyes, there was an apology that even Tohka could sense.

“I’m not trying to deceive you. Tohka believes that the ‘armored man’ is one of your kind, so he won’t kill you. So I will use my human side to prove my thoughts and actions! Even in my human side, I will never hurt you! Tohka.”

“Shido…” Tohka’s face showed an extremely complicated expression.

"It's okay if you can't accept it. I just hope I can help you."

"..."

agitω resolutely turned around, summoned a mechanical tornado, transformed it into a soul tornado, and flew towards ast.

"Good luck in your first battle!"

Yes! This can be considered Shido's first battle. Last time, he fought entirely on instinct, which allowed him to unleash 100% of Agitω's power. But now, although Shido has 10% of his fighting instinct fused with Agitω, that 10% only improves his current combat experience. It's impossible for him to completely crush AST again like last time!

Not to mention that he could control the "Soul Tornado" as if it were his own arm, just like before, and perform a series of actions such as: big spin, right angle turn, fast descent, cobra maneuver, etc., without his body tilting at all!

The reason why this happened was because Agitω's light power and Soul Tornado's light power were perfectly synchronized. It could be said that Agitω was like a part of Soul Tornado. With Shido's current control over the light power, he could only avoid being thrown off when flying at high speed.

Despite saying all that, agitω was already in front of ast. He knew that things had come to this point, and there was no point in being afraid. All he could do was to believe in himself again and in the weapon in his hand!

"It's that armored man from last time! Everyone on high alert!"

Everyone in AST drew their lightsabers and aimed them at Agitω, except for Origami, who sensed something was wrong the moment Agitω appeared. If the last person was an invincible master, then this one was at best a rookie with powerful equipment but no idea how to use it!

While agitω and the others were still wary of each other, Origami suddenly rushed out, raising her lightsaber high and slashing down diagonally! agitω couldn't react in time and was struck in the left shoulder!

To Origami's great surprise, her left shoulder only made a piercing "clang!" sound, without being cut open even a crack. In the instant she was struck, agitω felt regret and apologized to Origami in her heart. With a flick of her right hand, she took the other end of the Storm Halberd with her left hand and slashed down at Origami with both hands!

Although Origami blocked the attack with her lightsaber, the blade that struck the lightsaber didn't hesitate for a moment, slicing it in half and striking Origami's Free Domain! The sharpness of the Storm Halberd surprised everyone! Before agitω could even gasp, she swung her arm, and the Storm Halberd penetrated even deeper into her Free Domain. Origami, left with no other option, had to retreat temporarily.

"Origami! You know what you're doing..."

"Captain, my Freedom Domain is only 12% damaged. Be careful of that halberd; it seems to have a natural advantage against energy weapons. Also, the armored man is much weaker than when we first met, so we're not without a chance."

"Is that so? But Origami, you're not allowed to do that again! Do you understand?!"

"……Understood."

"We've been discovered..." agitω's face beneath the mask was full of bitterness, because now, it was going to be difficult to fight.

'Fine, then let's go all out!' Having figured things out, agitω's spirits lifted, and then his belt began to glow, first with a fleeting white light, then changing to blue.

Beep beep beep beep beep beep!

The moment the belt turned blue, all the AST members' monitoring devices sounded alarms, and something astonishing happened! A blue dot of light clearly appeared on the monitoring devices that observed the spirit's power, pointing directly at the armored man!

"The armored man is also an elf? But why wasn't he there last time...?"

'Only…'

"…war!"

"What…" All the members of AST were stunned by agitω's sudden outburst.

"Wind—Spear!"

As agitω uttered the word 'wind,' a wisp of blue wind instantly enveloped the Storm Halberd. At the same moment, Shido thrust forward, and the wind compressed on the halberd burst forth, transforming into a wind spear 1 meter wide and 3 meters long!

agitω knew that he had almost no combat experience. His only advantage was the 'Philosopher's Stone' in his belt, which allowed him to convert the power of light into spiritual energy! Also, although he was only observing, the combat techniques of the 14 predecessors could serve as a valuable reference!

What Shido didn't know was that the reason he was so agile in battle despite his lack of experience was because agitω's evolutionary instincts were not diminished in the slightest.

Although surprised by Agitω's sudden attack, AST was no pushover. While the whistling sound of the 'Wind Spear' was indeed astonishing, it was too monotonous, a single linear attack, and easy to dodge. Having learned from their previous experience, the AST members immediately scattered in all directions. But was it really that simple? Never underestimate your opponent! That's a truth indeed.

The 'Wind Spear' exploded instantly, turning into countless wind fragments. However, even though they were fragments, they were still sharp wind blades! This time, all AST members were hit. However, because the impact was so widespread, even the most severely damaged AST members' random domains only suffered about 4% damage.

This was exactly what agitω had anticipated. After all, his real purpose in detonating the 'Wind Spear' was not just to avoid destroying innocent buildings, but to use countless blue wind fragments to obscure ast's vision!

"Whoosh—" came the sound of something moving at high speed.

"Boom!" The sound of an object exploding.

"Ah—!" came a girl's scream.

"What's going on! Damn it! All members, get out of this area immediately! Watch out for the enemy!"

Captain Ryoko of AST (finally, her name appears...) has never felt so aggrieved. Ever since that mysterious armored man appeared last time, she has been very unlucky. After returning to base from the last battle, she was reprimanded by her superiors for being beaten back by someone who wasn't an elf! Moreover, almost all of her weapons and equipment were destroyed, and she was given a thorough dressing-down.

And you say we're too weak! If you're so capable, go fight it yourself! All you care about is money, right?! That sound of something being destroyed just now, it was probably equipment being destroyed. Now my boss is going to nag me endlessly. Please, have mercy on me!

Six seconds passed, and when most of the debris finally dissipated, the AST had arrived with more than ten people, but now only four remained. (Among those who were not destroyed were Ryoko, Origami, and two passersby.) The equipment of the others, except for their flight devices, had all been destroyed.

"Damn armor..."

"Should we continue playing?"

"what!"

"You can't beat me, that's the situation now. With only four of you armed, you think you can fight me bare-handed?"

"Ugh... just like last time... Origami, retreat! Don't let me launch another impulsive attack. Let's go back and devise a battle plan. Everyone retreat!"

The four people who had only weapons left looked at agitω warily, and only flew away slowly after everyone else had retreated.

"Is it over...?"

agitω exhaled a long breath from under the helmet, regulated its breathing, and flew back to the classroom.

As Shido deactivated his transformation, he jumped off the "Soul Tornado" and walked towards Tohka. Their eyes remained locked on each other. Bathed in the twilight sunlight, against the backdrop of the dilapidated room, the scene resembled that of an ordinary girl (who could be so strong as to wait for her lover's safe return from the battlefield) waiting for his return—a scene imbued with an indescribable romance.

"Tohka... I think I should keep my word. Even my human side will never be your enemy."

"Shido... well, you kept your word. And, if it's you, Shido, I... might be willing to believe you..."

Tohka smiled. Even though it was just a smile, Shido himself was completely captivated by it, utterly mesmerized.

"...Ah. Tohka, this might be a bit sudden, but for our next meeting, could we—go on a date?"

"Shido, what is a date...?"

Before Tohka could finish speaking, she suddenly disappeared without any warning, as if no one had been there at all.

"Gone?! Vanished?!"

"Shido! Don't be surprised, you should know, right?"

Just then, Kotori's voice came through the long-silent headphones. Her reminder made Shido realize that spirits could experience the phenomenon of being lost. Tohka should have already returned to that unknown other world.

"Shido, you did a great job this time! As for everything else, let's head back to 'Fraxinus'..."

(Shido! Beware of danger! His/her messenger has arrived!)

Suddenly, the sound of "Yes" echoed in Shido's mind. Gone was his usual goofy demeanor; instead, a hint of panic crept in.

"There is... Ugh—whoa! What is this feeling?! Okay, it feels like something bad is coming out of... coming out of my body! Waa ...

As soon as Eyes-kun finished speaking, a nauseating black light appeared around Shido's waist! Simultaneously, his belt suddenly materialized, and after the black light completely enveloped Shido, silhouettes of Agitω emerged from within it. The Earth Form and Storm Form, which had already appeared, appeared in succession. Next, the phantoms of Shido's unused Flame Form and Trinity Form also appeared!

But the black light still hadn't left Shido's body. At that moment, a crimson-colored phantom armor appeared (that, that form was...), but vanished instantly. Then, the black light seemed to try to leave Shido's body, but for some reason, only a third of it left (Shido was too weak), transforming into an ominous, dark green emblem of light! The emblem then transformed into a ball of light, and then into a humanoid shape.

Despite the excruciating pain, Shido was shocked when he saw the dark green humanoid figure!

"How...how is this possible! There should only be one me in this world! It's...it's him!"

Lecture

Blue beyond the spirit

Storm Form

Appearance: stormform Color: blue

Height: 180cm Weight: 58kg

Speed: 100m/4.5s; Jumping power: 50m

Punching power: 7t (left), 3t (right) Leg power: 10t

Visual acuity: 10km; Hearing: 10km

Weapon: Storm Halberd; Ultimate Skill: Storm Whirlwind (30t)

This form, Agito's Agile Form, embodies the power of wind. While the Storm Form is faster, its power is slightly lower than the other two forms (similar to Kuuga's Azure Dragon Form). Its left arm is specially enhanced, granting it the ability to manipulate wind. Its signature weapon is the Storm Halberd, and its finishing move is a whirlwind attack where the halberd is rapidly spun and then suddenly thrust at the enemy.
