It had been only a couple of days since the first battle and within that time, news had spread like wildfire about the former Queen of Mean and her ex-boyfriend becoming superheroes. While this had done little to soothe the nerves of some of the students, others were starting to see Sunset as a changed woman, finally. But this was only the beginning of the story, as there were more surprises in store.

It was after classes the day that the story had spread and Flash and the girls were outside as Rarity was getting set up for their practice; she had brought along her rapier in a case to school that morning, explaining to Principla Celestia and Vice Principal Luna that it was an instrument she had planned on trying to practice with in the band room, setting down the case and opening it up as she spoke, "There are many different fighting styles, dearies. Fencing is one of those styles, but it is for the most advantageous and skilled warriors, such as yours truly."

Sunset looked around nervously before she looked at Rarity, holding her own metal rod tightly as she asked, "Uh, Rarity? Don't you think this is a little overkill for us to be learning expert fencing so early?"

Flash had a metal rod as well, looking at Sunset as he reminded her, "We can't forget Sunset, this is gonna be essential for us as Riders. We can't forgo training for our own selfish reasons."

Fluttershy looked up from the book she had been reading, entitled Lost Memory, and spoke up: "Flash is right, Sunset. You never know when the next monster is gonna come up. Plus if you start training now, your growth as a Rider will expand and you'll get new powers."

"Exactly, so we can't just wait around for the Megid to attack again. We have to be vigilant, cautious, looking around all corners at all times," Rarity agreed as she got her rapier sheath on, grabbing her sword by the handle and drawing it expertly before she twirled it and held it so the blade was vertical in the air, her face set in determination as she smirked at the two Swordsmen. "Now, en garde!" She ran at them quickly, swinging at Sunset's stomach area.

Sunset yelped in surprise and jumped back, blocking it quickly out of instinct and kicking at Rarity.

The fashionista blocked calmly with her bare arm before she spotted Flash moving in from the side and blocked an attempted strike with her rapier, continuing to battle the two with grace and skill and easily dodging their poor attempts at attacking with swipes, smirking lightly as she increased her speed and accuracy.

Pinkie watched in amazement as she pulled a bag of popcorn from seemingly out of nowhere (It's Pinkie Pie, don't question it) as she spoke up, "Wow, Rarity wasn't kidding about her fencing experience." She popped open the bag and munched a few kernels.

"No doubt," Rainbow agreed as she also munched on some of the popcorn.

Rarity soon stopped the training as she saw that she had left quite a few shallow cuts on both of their bodies. "Oh, dear." She chuckled nervously, sheathing her sword and continuing, "I think you both have had enough for one day. But tomorrow morning, I expect you to be here at 6:30 a.m. sharp so we can continue our practice and our lessons. Understood?"

Sunset and Flash looked at each other before they groaned, passing out on the spot and collapsing on the ground.

End Theme

Meanwhile, Storious was watching Calibur pace around in concern, feeling a bit worried himself as he stroked his chin in thought and muttering, "I didn't expect that two of the ten true Seikens would choose their new wielders already... but we have no need for concern." He looked up at his companions. "We as well have one of the Ten, plus the Sword of Voids on our side."

A second Rider walked out, based on the motif of a phoenix and held their sword readily before looking at Storius. "I expect you also have your Megids at the ready?"

Storious nodded and smirked a bit. "And the newest host has been chosen. The Sword of Currents hasn't found its host yet, so I expect there will be no problem for them."

That night, Rarity was pulling a late shift with designing a new outfit out of an unknown creative inspiration, sipping a latte as she worked and listening to some Japanese music as she worked. Recently, she had discovered her love for how energetic the Tokusatsu music was, especially those from Fluttershy's Toku shows. One song she was listening to was a newly released song, liveDevil.

As she listened to the energetic tunes, she couldn't help but dance along slightly, humming to the music as she twirled around, looking at the outfit and smiling brightly as she spoke to herself, "Oh, that looks wonderful! The navy blue leather of this jacket matches perfectly with the deep red undertones." She looked down upon feeling something rubbing her leg and saw her Angora cat, Opalescence, purring in agreement.

"Oh, thank you, Opal. I promise, it's nothing too fancy. Just an idea I had gotten after a recent dream." Rarity told her, thinking back on her dream from the previous night.

Rarity was asleep in her bed, shifting slightly as she got a vision of a blue lion, an ACTUAL blue lion, standing alongside a Rider that looked like it had the lion motif as well, nodding to her.

Rarity jolted out of her thoughts when she heard a set of footsteps coming down the steps, looking over to see her younger sister rubbing her eyes blearily.

"Sweetie Belle, precious dear, what's wrong?" Rarity wondered, going to her sister and kneeling beside her.

Sweetie looked at her and blinked slightly before she spoke: "I had this really weird dream, Rarity. I saw the school and the city looking like they were burning away, like pages in a book, there were bubbles floating around the place that wouldn't pop and there were these two monsters that were attacking people."

Rarity's eyes widened as she listened, her thoughts going fast, 'Sweetie Belle must have received a vision of the next battle. But if that's the case, who could have possibly sent them?' She hugged her sister and consoled her with a soft voice, "Relax, Sweetie Belle. I promise you there's nothing to worry about. It may have just been a bad dream, after all. But if it turns out your dream is accurate, I won't let any monsters hurt you." In her mind, Rarity knew she had to get this information to the others.

The next morning, Flash and the HuMane Six met at Sugarcube Corner where Rarity relayed the message about Sweetie Belle's recent dream and her own vision.

Pinkie ate a cupcake in one go and spoke afterwards, "Ooh, ooh! I think the blue lion has something to do with the next Rider we could get! Maybe one with a lion theme and a cool rapier like Rarity's got and-" Her mouth was covered by Rainbow's hand in the next instant.

"Yeah, Pinkie Pie? Maybe we should let Fluttershy make the list. She knows more about the Riders than we do," Rainbow suggested.

Fluttershy smiled as she looked at Rainbow and told her, "Well, I think what Rarity and Pinkie are describing means that Blades is the next Rider that's gonna show up."

Sunset looked pensive as she thought it over and muttered, "But this doesn't make sense. Flash got his powers after a dream, I received my powers from Princess Celestia, and Rarity got a vision about Lion Senki. So why would Sweetie Belle have a dream about the Megid?"

Applejack shrugged a bit. "Hard t'say, sugarcube. But I reckon if Sweetie's having some weird dreams about this mess, we oughta be on our guard. For all we know, the next attack might be right outside and we wouldn't even notice until-"

A loud BOOM stopped the sentence as Sunset guessed, "Until that happens?"

"Darn tootin', Sunset," AJ confirmed, the seven racing outside and gasping as they saw the carnage.

Everything looked exactly like Sweetie Belle had described in her dream; burning buildings like pages, parts of Wonder World showing in the area, and the Ari and Kirigirisu Megids ready to attack people.

Flash looked at Sunset and shouted quickly, "Go time!"

"Got it! The rest of you, get people to safety!" Sunset instructed her friends as she placed her SworDriver on her waist and opened Brave Dragon up. "Brave Dragon!"

Flash put his Driver on his waist and opened it as he also flicked open his Ride Book. "Kin no Buki, Gin no Buki!"

Both of them placed their respective Ride Books in their Drivers and drew their swords out. "Rekka Battou!/Saikou Hakkou!" "Henshin!" They performed their signature poses and changed into their forms respectively, although Flash stepped it up a notch: "Brave Dragon~! Rekka Issatsu! When the dragon of valor and Kaenken Rekka meet, the crimson sword will penetrate evil!/Who is this? Saikou Nishou: A silhouette born from within the light! Shadow! A blinding light emerged from the Kougouken Saikou as a shadowy Kamen Rider Saikou appeared next to Sunset.

"Let's go!" Saikou ran forward with Saber behind him, the two starting to fight the Kirigirisu Megid and the Ari Megid respectively, now doing a little better with the training they had gotten in.

Meanwhile, the rest of the HuMane Five went around, saving the lives of other people and ushering them inside the buildings that they could get them into.

Rarity suddenly heard a familiar scream and looked around, seeing her little sister surrounded by a group of Shimi that had been summoned by the Megids.

"SWEETIE BELLE!" Rarity immediately ran over, drawing her rapier and starting to fight the Shimi bravely, countering each attack with one of her own skilled attacks.

Sunset was having a tough time against the Ari Megid, grunting as she pushed it back, but that was when it did something unexpected: The Megid started to split into multiple copies. "HUH?!"

Pinkie Pie did a double take from where she was watching on the sidelines and shouted, "That's freaky-deaky!"

"That's the story of The Ant and the Grasshopper!" Fluttershy called to her in response. "The ant queen should be easy to find if it's glowing!"

Flash jumped back from a cross slash the Kirigirisu Megid tried to deliver, blocking another strike as he shouted, "Easier said than done!"

Rarity knocked down another Shimi and growled angrily while she fought, thinking about all the worries she had when it came to protecting her little sister and shaking her head as she muttered, "No... I promised Sweetie Belle that I would protect her, and I will keep that promise no matter the cost!" As she slashed the next Shimi to attack her, her rapier suddenly glew in a bright blue pillar of light as a loud lion's roar was heard.

Sunset looked over in surprise, "That light!"

Flash heard the roar, "That's a lion's roar!"

Rarity watched as her rapier turned into a Seiken SworDriver with a blue handle on the sword, a blue Wonder Ride Book appearing in her free hand with a stylized lion on the front cover, roaring as the title read Lion Senki. "Lion Senki... my power as a Rider," she whispered before equipping her Driver, opening the Ride Book proudly. "Lion Senki! This blue mane marks a new history of the noble king's battle…" She closed the book and locked it into the middle slot on her Driver, a larger version of Lion Senki appearing behind her as she drew her sword, the book opening with her motion. "Nagare Battou!" She held it in a rapier style as she smirked. "Hen... shin." She slashed in a horizontal line, allowing the water to fly forth as the blue lion circled around her and created her armor in a blue flash, the water splashing against her helmet to form her visor. "Lion Senki! Nagare Issatsu! When the King of Beasts and Suiseiken Nagare meet, the azure sword peels its fangs!" She posed elegantly to the Driver announcement.

Fluttershy bounced excitedly and squealed, "Kamen Rider Blades has arrived!! WHOO!!"

Rarity held the Suiseiken Nagare at the ready with her shout of "En garde!" before she charged into the fray, striking down Shimi easily.

Sunset grinned brightly before she refocused on her battle, knocking away some of the Ari Megid clones.

Flash finished off the Kirigirisu Megid and caught the Wonder Ride Book that it released, looking at it. "Jakkun-to-Domamenoki? Maybe..." He looked at Sunset. "Sunset!" He threw the book to her quickly.

Sunset caught the book and looked at it. "Nice, a new power!" She opened it quickly. "Jakkun-to-Domamenoki! A mysterious story about a bean suddenly obtained by a boy becoming a huge tree..." She sheathed her sword, loaded the Book in the third slot, and drew her sword again."Rekka Battou! When the two books stack, the sacred sword gains power! Wonder Rider! Dragon! Jakkun! With two elements, the blade is sharpened!"

She swung her vine around and knocked out the various Ari Megid clones, spotting the real one a few feet away. "Aha! Gotcha!" She lassoed it with her vine as it tried to escape and slashed it down with a few strikes, knocking it to the ground before she slashed the Shimi down that Rarity had been handling.

"My turn to help you!" Rarity shouted as she spun around and sheathed her sword, pressing the trigger. "Hissatsu Dokuha!" "I swear upon Nagare, the Sword of Currents, that I shall protect my loved ones!" "Lion! Nagare Issatsu Geki! Water!" She readied a water bubble from her lion head and fired it at the Ari Megid. "Leo Cascade!" She jumped into the air and posed in a flying side kick, rocketing down at the Megid and kicking through it before she landed cleanly, standing upright and facing away from the explosion as Sunset and Flash joined her.

Sunset looked over and caught the blue Book that flew from the Ari Megid and looked at it. "Peter Fantasista, huh? Nice." She dehenshined with the other two as they regrouped with their friends.

Rarity went to Sweetie Belle and helped her up. "Are you alright, darling?" she asked out of concern.

Sweetie looked at Rarity and nodded before she spoke, "That... was... SO COOL!!" Her voice squeaked as she hugged her big sister.

Rarity hugged Sweetie Belle back and smiled, fighting back tears as she whispered, "It's alright, Sweetie. It'll be alright now."

The rest of the group smiled as they either watched the sisters hug or the city return to normal.

Sunset saw Sandalwood laying where the Megid had been and looked at the group, pointing him out, "He needs to get to Nurse Redheart."

"I'm on it!" Pinkie called as she zipped over, picked Sandalwood up, and zoomed away.

The kids looked at each other and rolled their eyes with a smile. Typical Pinkie..

Soon after, they were all back in Sugarcube Corner, having a celebratory treat.

Applejack ate a bit of her apple tart and looked at the team as she spoke, "Well, since we're gonna be knowin' about these attacks now, we'll need a way to keep in contact."

Flash smiled and pulled out a few bulky cell phones. "I talked with Vinyl Scratch about it and she provided these to me," he explained, "they're supposed to activate a Ride Machine when the right button is pressed."

Rainbow shook her head. "Wait, wait, wait. How did Vinyl know about us being Riders? Is she one too?"

Flash looked at Rainbow. "I don't think so, not yet anyway," he guessed. "More than likely, she knew from a dream like I knew from my dream."

Fluttershy shrugged and spoke up, "It wouldn't surprise me if she was a Rider." She pulled out a notebook that she had written in, showing a list of the ten Seiken Riders and having a couple of names by some. "We know Sunset is Saber, Flash is Saikou, and Rarity just became Blades." She wrote Rarity's name in by Blades as she continued, "That leaves seven of the Seikens left to be claimed, not to mention three other Seikens that have potentially dangerous powers if they land in the wrong hands."

Sunset nodded. "So which Seiken will be claimed by whom next?"

Fluttershy closed her notebook, responding to her friend, "That's for the Seikens themselves to decide."

Author's Note

It is indeed, Fluttershy. As we know from the base show, the Seikens are confirmed to have their own voices, said by Tetsuo Daishinji/Slash himself, so it would be no surprise that the Seikens could even potentially choose their new wielders. Also, yes. Lost Memory is one of Touma Kamiyama's books. I plan on having the Riders properly meeting him in the future and I do plan for Vinyl to be a Rider as well. It makes sense since she's practically a master of beats and stuff, and she did help against the Sirens, so she'll play a big part there. We're also introduced to Falchion in this episode, and Sunset and Flash's new forms, Dragon-Jakkun and Saikou Shadow respectively, along with Rarity making her debut as Blades. Who do you guys think Falchion and Calibur will end up being? What do you believe is the strongest point for each of the HuMane Six and Flash to be Riders? Let me know in the comments, please!
