[EARLIER]
Haruhito is seen entering into his room after dealing with today's events. Once he entered, he looked around to see it looked plain and bland. All it had was bed and some book shelfs. Although it seemed okay, the Kamen Rider felt the need to do some redecorating and renovations.
Haruhito: "Well... could make a few changes."
Reaching behind him, he pulls out a ring which is revealed to be the Create Wizard Ring. Placing the ring on his right hand, he hovers the ring over the belt buckle, activating the magic ability.
[Create! Please!]
Raising the ring in the air, a rainbow-colored magic circle appears before the whole place is soon engulfed in a magical, rainbow-colored tornado. After a few seconds, a bright flash of light appears and when it disappeared, it is revealed the room had gone through mass revisions. The place was more spacious and had extra rooms, resembling that of an apartment.
(A/N: There are no windows.)
Haruhito: (smirks) "Much better."
With his task done, Shio went to get freshen up and then go to bed for tomorrow's event.
[PRESENT TIME]
In present time, Haruhito is seen lying in bed after reminiscing after today's events. It had only been the first day and already he was forced into a fight. If this was Caine's idea of an adventure, then he dreaded on what other 'games' he had in store for them. This made the Kamen Rider mentally prepare himself for any and all conflicts he may be forced to deal with. However, right now, all he wants to do is sleep on it and hope for the best by tomorrow.
Haruhito: (sigh) "Well... hopefully nothing crazy will happened tomorrow."
With that, Haruhito closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep.
[DREAM SEQUENCE]
Haruhito is seen dreaming when all of a sudden, his eyes snap open to the sound of a sudden voice shouting at him.
???: "Wake up my host! We must have words to speak!"
Quickly turning around, Haruhito looks up to see his Phantom, the Infinity Wizardragon.
He blinks and now finds himself in a familiar dark void before turning to face his Phantom.
Haruhito: (confused) "Infinity Wizardragon?"
Infinity Wizardragon: (nods) "Indeed. I've become aware of how we ended up in this 'Digital Circus' as that AI Ringleader calls it."
Haruhito: "Yeah. Though I'm still not sure of I'm the right guy for this. Honestly, I feel as though this is more for something that Ex-Aid should be dealing. This is a video h=game after all.
Infinity Wizardragon: "You're right. This does seem like her kind of forte but regardless, we're stuck here. I hope you find us a way out of here as fast as possible. I have a feeling things will only get crazier and I don't wish to lose my sanity."
Haruhito: (sigh) "Believe me. I'm doing everything to hopefully get us back home. Right now, the best we can do is make sure we do everything to help the others and survive this place."
Infinity Wizardragon: (nods) "Indeed. It appears you're waking up now."
Haruhito: (nods) "Right. See you next time partners."
With that, Infinity Wizardragon disappears from his view. Suddenly, a bright flash of light appeared before Haruhito before he soon woke up back into the real world.
[DREAM SEQUENCE ENDS]
Back in the real time, Haruhito opens his eyes to himself back in his bedroom. Yawning, he sits up and stretches his body before looking around, seeing his bedroom. Honestly, he first through everything about the 'Digital Circus' was a lie but then he remembers it isn't. Sighing his get off his bed and gets ready for the day.
Haruhito: (yawns) "Why do I have a feeling things are gonna go crazy today? I wonder how Pomni is doing."
He still remembers yesterday how on how scared and traumatized the jester was. After remembering what happened to that Kaufmo character, he hopes nothing bad will happen to Pomni as well. After getting dressed and brushing his teeth, Haruhito opens the door where he's met by Ragatha.
Ragatha: (smiles) "Oh, good morning Haruhito! Did you sleep well last night?"
Haruhito: (nods) "Yeah. Slept like a baby."
Ragatha: (smiles) "That's great. Oh! We should wake up Pomni. Everyone else woke up except her. Come on, let's get her."
The Kamen Rider nodded as they approached Pomni's door. Ragatha did a few knocks and after a few seconds, the door opens to reveal a tired Pomni.
Pomni: "Mmm... what? What time is it?"
Ragatha: (smiles) "It's morning. Come on. The others are waiting."
Pmni: (sigh) "Alright."
She follows the two as the trio had to where everyone else is.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
The scene shifts to show the stage of the ADC where Caine is giving the announcement of today's adventure.
Caine: (smiles) "Good morning my little superstars! Glad you've all come for today's next adventure! Given what happened well... yesterday... we'll start out something small. Perhaps a simple one where our new friends here can get a feel of the circus. Sound fair?"
Jax: (shrugs) "Fine, as long I still get the chance to make others miserable."
Haruhito: (annoyed glare) "Of course you would."
Ragatha: (nods) "It would me a nice change of pace."
Gangle: "I could use a break from our more dangerous adventures."
Kinger: "As long as it's nothing too well.. scary."
Zooble: "I don't care. Just a long as I don't come apart again."
Pomni: "Uh... sure... I guess...?"
Caine: (smiles) "Excellent, for today we're going on a little adventure!"
Bubble: (smiles) "WooHoo!"
Twirling his Caine, a puff of smoke appears behind the group where we see a basketball court.
Caine: (smiles) "It will be a basketball game!"
A basketball theme song plays in the background.
Caine: (smiles) "The winner will choose today's menu! And even dessert!"
However, Zooble didn't seem happy about this new 'adventure' giving her nature and apperance.
Zooble: (glares) "What? No! I hate basketball! And any sports in general, because I keep falling apart!"
The AI Ringleader then points a finger at her.
Caine: "Then in this game you'll be the goalie..."
Zooble: (wide eyes) "What?!"
The others seemed worried while Jaz looked ready to burst out laughing.
Caine: "...Against Gangle!"
Gangle: (wide eyes) "What?!"
Caine snaps his fingers a everyone, except Pomni, are divided into two teams.
Caine: "Zooble with Jax and Kinger. While Gagle will be with Ragatha and Haruhito."
Haruhito: "Uh what about Pomni?"
Caine: "Because we have an odd number in our group, Pomni you'll sit out and be the cheerleader!"
Pomni: "What?!"
The AI Ringleader snaps his finger and Pomni goes up in a puff of smoke. When it clears, it shows Pomni now in a cheerleader outfit.
The group had mixed reactions seeing Pomni as a cheerleader, but Haruhito couldn't help but blush a bit seeing that the outfit had made her look adorable in his view.
Ragatha: (laughs) "OMG, look at her!"
Gangle: (worried) "Ugh... I don't think Zooble is going to like Caine's idea."
Jax: (grins) "Hahahahaha! Freaking hilarious! Hey Pomni, looking real good in that outfit! Pretty sure a certain-ack!"
Annoyed by Jax, Haruhito karate chopped him on the back of the head, causing the purple bunny guy to fall face first on the ground.
Haruhito: (annoyed sigh) "Shut up Jax. You're not helping."
On the other hand, Pomni was blushing in embarrassment due to the fact she was now waering what's considered in her eyes an embarrassing outfit.
Pomni Thoughts: (embarrassed thoughts) "I'm gonna die! What a shame! Please Earth swallow me whole!"
Caine then turns his attention back to Haruhito.
Caine: (smiles) "You know the drill my young Wizard! It's time to dress up!"
Rolling his eyes, Haruhito puts on the 'Dress Up' Wizard Ring and hovers it over his blet buckle.
[Dress up! Please!]
A red magic circle appears under him before it begins going up. Once the magic circle goes up, Haruhito is engulfed in a flash of light before showing him now in a blue basketball outfit. In his left hand shows the basketball as he begins spinning it on his finger.
Caine: (smiles) "Now let's get our game on!"
========== (Scene Change) ==========
The scene shifts where we see the group playing basketball. The two teams are seen neck and neck...
...just kidding, both Ragatha and Haruhito are winning the game while Jax and Kinger are losing badly.
Ragatha: "Over here! I'm open!"
Jax: (glares) "For the love of- quit screwing around and play the game properly Kinger!"
Kinger: (nervous) "You don't have to yell."
Ignoring them, Haruhito zips past the two and throws to ball towards Ragatha. Catching it, she jumps and throws the basketball into the hoop. Zooble tries to stop the ball, but she misses by an inch, and it enters the hoop, thus scoring a point.
Caine: "And another point for Blue team! It looks like Red team needs to step it up if they wanna win their prize!"
The AI Ringleader is seen playing as the referee while pointing towards the score board.
Blue Team: 15
Red Team: 4
Jax: (annoyed growl) "How are you this good?! This total Bull-[Dong!]!"
Haruhito: "I was good at playing basketball during my High School days. Not my fault you suck."
Jax: (glares) "No fair! I bet you're cheating! You must be using your magic to give you an edge!"
Haruhito: (scoffs) "I'm not. If I was, I'm sure Caine would've noticed and called me out. And even if I was, I don't need it to beat a sore loser like you."
Hearing this caused the others to laugh.
Zooble: (laughs) "Wow Jax, might wanna put an ice pack on that burn."
Jax shoots a glare at Zooble before suddenly an idea popped into his head in order to get back at her. Just as the basketball was thrown and it was heading towards him, Jax seemingly sidestepped and allowed the ball to hit Zooble, causing her to break apart again. The purple bunny guy laughs as he looks at Zooble with a mischievous smile.
Jax: (mischievous smile) "Oops! Sorry Zooble. Didn't see you there."
However, Zooble didn't have time for Jax's BS as she glared angrily at him.
Zooble: (glares) "[Boink!] you Jax! I'm gonna [Honk!]-ing kill our when this is over!"
Meanwhile, Pomni is seen forced to do her part as she's waving her Pom Pom's in an attempt to do her 'cheerleading' gig.
Pomni: (embarrassed blush) "Uh... go Blue team! You're doing great! I believe in you! You can do it! Goooooo... Blue Team!"
She jumps as she continues to wave her Pom Pom's. Eventually after a few more games, the game ended which showed the final score.
Blue Team: 20
Red Team: 9
Caine: (smiles) "It appears that Blue Team has won! As promised, they now have the choice to choose whichever meal and dessert they want!"
Later we see everyone on the table, all of them chatting as they eat food that's made of 3D. However, not everyone was enjoying the place as Pomni stares at her plate of food in front of her. Her mind still wrapping around the fact that she's trapped in this prison with apparently no way out. As her mind is racing with thoughts that plagued her mind, Haruhito took notice of her expression and looked worried.
Haruhito: (worried) "Pomni? Are... you okay?"
He gently touched her shoulder... only for him to jerk back when he saw the Jester stand up and let out an agonizing scream.
Pomni: (agonizing scream) "AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I WANT OUT! I WANT OUT OF THIS [Boink!]-ING CIRCUS! I WANNA GO HOME! I WANNA GO HOME! I WANNA GO HOME! LET ME OUT! WHERE'S THE EXIT?! WHERE'S THE EXIT?! WHERE'S THE EXIT?! WHERE'S THE EXIT?! WHERE'S THE [Beep!]-ING EXIT?! SOMEONE GET ME OUTTA THIS NIGHTMARE!"
Unable to take all of the craziness, Pomni runs away, leaving the others behind. The other's saw this as some tried to stop her.
Ragatha: (worried) "Pomni wait!"
Haruhito: (concerned) "Hold on!"
Gangle: (worried) "Oh no. Do you think she'll be alright?"
Jax: (shrugs) "Meh. Who cares? I mean it's not like we've dealt with mentally broken individuals before ya know."
Without warning, Haruhito slammed his foot on Jax's crotch, causing him to yell in pain.
Jax: "Gah!"
He clutches his groin with both his hands tightly before looking at the Kamen Rider.
Jax: (glares) "What was that for?!"
Haruhito: (rolls eyes) "Oh get up you big baby. Your fine."
========== (Scene Change) ==========
The scene shifts to show Pomni barge into her room. She looks around, desperate to think of a way to get outta the circus. Her eyes darting everywhere as she begins to once again lose her mind. Pomni then begins thrashing her own room and starts throwing the blocks all over the place before finally making her way towards one of her walls and kneels down in front of her. She lets out a crazed mutter as she states at the wall blankly.
Pomni: (crazed mutter) "Exit... Exit... Exit... Exit... Exit... Where is the [Beep!]-ing Exit..."
As the young Jester was muttering as her sanity is now fully broken, she had unconsciously began drawing on her bedroom walls with a red crayon.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Back with the others, all of them seemed worried for Pomni when she ran off like that... except for Jax but he currently doesn't matter.
Ragatha: (worried) "Oh gosh. Poor Pomni. We need to help her."
Gangle: (worried) "And we need to make sure she doesn't go through an abstraction."
Kinger: (panics) "Oh no! Does this mean we have to deal with another Kaufmo incident?!"
Zooble: (sigh) "I don't wanna deal with that again."
Haruhito: "Guys enough. We can focus on that later. Right now, we should focus on finding and helping Pomni. She needs us right now."
Of course, Jax being the total A-Hole that he was, said some cruel things about not caring about Pomni.
Jax: (snickers) "Oh yeah? And why should we? We barely know her. If she abstracts, then we could always replace her. Not like any of us are gonna miss her to begin with."
*POW!*
Just then, Jax was sucker punched in the face and fell to the ground hard, courtesy of Haruhito.
Haruhito: (glares) "Be quiet Jax. You're not helping."
Jax groans in pain as he rubs his face before looking at Haruhito.
Jax: (groans) "You jerk. Did you really have to hit me so hard? You know just because you got magic powers doesn't mean you have the right to act like top dog around her."
Haruhito: (annoyed glare) "Oh yeah? Well at least I'm not some selfish jerk who bullies others to make him feel good about himself."
Jax: (rolls eyes) "Oh please. At least I don't have a monster living inside me that's just ready to burst out and kill us all."
This caused one of Haruhito's eyebrows to twitch before speaking again.
Haruhito: (annoyed glare) "At least I still have my ding dong between my legs unlike you."
That seemed to trigger Jax as he tried to tackle the Kamen Rider in anger. After, due to being the more proficient and experienced fighter, Haruhito was able to grapple and then pin Jax to the ground. The purple bunny guy screamed and growled at him, but the young Japanese man had a strong grip on him. It was only until Ragatha intervened as she tried to stop the two.
Ragatha: (glares) "Stop it you two! This isn't the time to be fighting amongst ourselves!"
Jax: (glares) "He started it!"
Haruhito: (glares) "Last time I checked, you're the one who tried to tackle me to the ground!"
Ragatha: (glares) "I don't care who started it! Trying to kill each other isn't going to solve our problems so just stop! Please!"
Both males glared at each other before Haruhito was forced to let go of Jax. The rabbit man dusted himself off but not before glaring back at the Kamen Rider.
Jax: (glares) "Jerk."
Haruhito: (glares) "[Honk!]-hole."
Ragatha: (glares) "Boys, enough."
The two males still glared angrily at each other before turning away from each other. It was then Caine spoke up to give his thoughts on the situation.
Caine: (smiles) "Well now that that's over with, let's all focus on helping our friend Pomni. But first, you gotta help me clean up this mess. I'm planning our next adventure for tomorrow."
Sighing, Haruhito turns to face the others.
Haruhito: (sigh) "I'll stay here and help with Caine. The rest of you go help Pomni."
Deciding not to argue with him, they all agreed as the group left to go to Pomni's room while Haruhito goes to help Caine.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Back in Pomni's room, the whole place began to look like Kaufmo's bedroom with writing all over the wall. In front of a wall shows Pomni who has written the word 'Exit' multiple times.
Right now, she's having a mental breakdown, questioning as to why she ended up in the circus and why she can't escape.
Pomni: (mental break down) "Why... Why the [Bing!] did I have to put on that headset? If I had known this would happen to me then I would never have to be in this Digital Hell. I... I... Oh-Oh God... Why was I brought in here? There HAS to be a REASON."
Her eyes dart around all over her room, seeing that she was doing the exact same thing Kaufmo once did. But she was just too focused on her own crisis to even care.
Pomni: (mental break down) "Am-Am I being punished? Was I bad person before? I... I don't think I was... but... did I deserve it? Did I deserve this?"
Tears stream down her face as another horrifying thought crossed her mind.
Pomni: (horrified) "Do I even have a family...?! Are they even... looking for me...? Do they... even care?"
Losing her mind even more, Pomni begins letting out an insane laugh.
Pomni: (insane laugh) "Oh... Oh God... And if they've already given up trying to find me... a-and everyone here practically can't stand each other... I'm... all... alone..."
In an instant, Pomni had lost all sanity as she screams at the top of her lungs, demanding to know why she was forced to stay in the Digital Circus what's essentially all of eternity.
Pomni: "THEN WHY EVEN BRING ME HERE?! IF NO ONE OUTSIDE CARES ABOUT ME, AND NO ONE IN HERE IS GOING TO CARE... THEN WHAT'S THE POINT?!?!?!"
She continues to scream and pound the wall with sheer ferocity until all of a sudden, Pomni begins to glitch violently.
Pomni: "Ack!"
Catching her breath, she looks down at her hands at are pressed against the wall and is horrified to see black glitch stains begins to appear before morphing her hands into black claws.
This causes her to panic in realization that she's now abstracting.
Pomni: (horrified) "No...! No... Oh GOD! NO!!!"
Her entire body soon begins morphing and abstracting as Pomni desperately tries to stop her mutation.
Pomni: (horrified) "NO! GOD!!! I DIDN'T MEAN IT!!! I'M SORRY!!!"
She clutches her head, screaming in agony as the abstraction begins taking over her entire body.
Pomni: (horrified) "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! MAKE IT STOP! SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP! HELP ME! PLEASE!"
She tries to move and get to the door, but instead falls down as her body continues to violently twitch and glitch.
Pomni: (pleas) "SOMEONE! ANYONE! SAVE ME! JAX! RAGATHA! GANGLE! ZOOBLE! KINGER! CAINE! I DON'T WANNA GO!"
She manages to stand on her knees as she tries to reach her hand out to the door while shouting out the name of the last person in hopes he will save her. Pomni cries profusely as she shouts out Haruhito's name.
Pomni: (cries) "Haruhito, help me! Please! I don't wanna be locked up forever in this Digital Hell! HARU!!!"
Behind her, Pomni's body begins to twitch violently until suddenly something burst from her back, showing that she has wings emerging from her back.
Pomni lets out and agonizing scream as the process was too painful for her to handle. Then, her eyes rolls back and her head jerks back, as glitched black tentacles erupt from her mouth before wrapping her in some kind of cocoon. After a few seconds, the cocoon begins to violently move before it's turn open, revealing Pomni in a new and more monstrous from due to being abstracted. When the figure rose up, it let out a howl of laughter that sounded both inhumane and demonic at the same time. The last thing that was shown in Pomni's room was an evil smile with razor sharp teeth and rainbow-colored eyes.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Eventually the group (minus Haruhito) had all made their way to Pomni's room in hopes of calming her down.
Ragatha: (worried) "Oh I hope Pomni's ok."
Jax: (rolls eyes) "Will you calm down Raggedy Ann? I'm sure she's fine. I mean, just how bad to do think she'll be?"
Ragatha: (glares) "Jax what is wrong with you today? Pomni is one of us and we have to make sure she doesn't end up like the others... like Kaufmo before she came here."
Jax: (raised eyebrow) "Why do you even care? Didn't she leave you for dead?"
Ragatha: (sigh) "That may be so, but she was scared. We all acted the same way when we first arrived here and witnessed abstractions. Though I did indeed feel hurt that she left me, I can't blame Pomni for why she did what she did."
Zooble: (glares) "She's right you know. Besides, you shouldn't be the one to talk. You should've helped him get away when Kaufmo abstracted. Instead, you ran away... like a coward."
Jax scowled at Zooble in anger before the rest of the group had finally made it over to Pomni's room, all of them standing right in front of her door.
Jax: "So who's gonna help the baby?"
Gangle: "Jax, that's not very nice."
Jax: (rolls eyes) "Oh shut up Gangle. Like anyone cares about you."
He shoves her to the ground, causing her comedy mask to break again.
Gangle: (cries) "No... my comedy mask..."
She begins crying again as both Ragatha and Zooble looked at him with disapproval.
Zooble: (glares) "Really?"
Jax: (shrugs) "What? It's not a big deal. She's probably got a hundred more back in her room."
Ragtha: (glares) "That didn't mean you had to push her. (sigh) Forget it. Let's just focus on making sure Pomni doesn't go insane. We don't need her to become abstracted on the first day here in the circus."
Jax: (rolls eyes) "Relax Doll face. You're worrying too much. Sure, Pomni may be having a mental break down, but I doubt she's got turned into a freakish monster."
He walks over to the door and pulls out Pomni's key before inserting it into the keyhole. Turning the key, he hears a click, indicating that the door was now unlocked. Before opening the door, Jax decided to test fate when he smirked at the others.
Jax: (smirks) "Besides, what's the worst that could happen?"
Just as he placed his hand on the door handle, he, along with everyone else, flinched in fear and backed away when banging happened repeatedly on the other side of the door.
Kinger: (nervous) "Uh... what was that?"
Ragatha: (worried) "Pomni? Are you... alright in there?"
Without warning, the door had burst open, catching everyone off guard. Looking at the entrance, everyone felt an inhumane chill go down that spine when he heard laughter, the kind of laughter you would hear from a sadistic monster. Hearing footsteps approaching, the circus gang all look up, seeing Pomni now being fully Abstracted from mental insanity.
When they saw 'Pomni' emerged from her room, everyone was utterly horrified when they saw she had become completely Abstracted and turned into a monster. 'Pomni' looks down at the circus gang, grinning sadistically seeing her new prey.
Zooble: (horrified) "H-Holy [Boing!]!"
Gangle: (horrified) "EEEK! She's been abstracted!"
Ragatha: (horrified) "Pomni?! What happened to you?!"
To their fear, they see the now Abstracted Pomni let out a sadistic, evil laugh.
???: (sadistic and evil laugh) "Pomni? Oh, I'm nothing like that pathetic loser. Call me... The Jester! Hahahahahahahahahaha!"
This shocked everyone to see Pomni's abstracted form is capable of intelligent speech. When it came to Abstraction, they all knew that those who suffered that kind of condition had lost all form of intelligence, essentially making them mindless monsters. So, hearing that Pomni's abstracted for is capable of speech made then realize she seems intelligent.
Jax: (shocked) "What? She can still talk?"
Gangle: (shocked) "That's never happened before."
Kinger: (terrified) "Run for it!"
Kinger desperately tries to run away to safety, but the self-proclaimed 'Jester' wouldn't let him escape so easily. Instead, she sprouted what looked like a pair of bat wings that look abstracted with multicolored eyes spread all around it. She takes to the air and chases after the feeling Kinger. Opening one of her palms to reveal her clawed hand, she swoops down and slashes behind Kinger, causing him to fall to the ground. She then grabs him and throws him back to the others. Looking down, we see Kinger glitching violently as the others are horrified to see what happened to him.
Ragatha: (horrified) "KINGER!"
Everyone rushes over to help him but look up to see Jester approaching them with a sadistic smile on her face.
Jester: (sadistic grin) "So... who's next?"
Jax was the first to speak, opting to run and leave the others for dead.
Jax: (terrified) "Oh [Beep!] this! I'm outta here!"
He tries to run, only for him to slam into a wall. It's revealed they're now at a dead end with Jester looking at everyone with a malevolent smile on her face, laughing evilly as she prepares to make them feel pain unlike anything they've experienced before.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Elsewhere, Haruhito had finished helping Caine clean up the place.
Haruhito: (sigh) "Is that it?"
Caine: "Yup! Thank for the help my Wizardly friend! Now I should get ready for tomorrows adventure soon!"
The Kamen Rider nods before asking another question.
Haruhito: "You said you would be giving us another adventure for tomorrow. I details I should know about?"
Caine: (smiles) "Well I'm not gonna spoil the fun for obvious reasons but I can tell you it's gonna involve something sweet."
Bubble: (smiles) "And sticky!"
For some reason, hearing how Bubble phrased the last part made it sound inappropriate.
Haruhito: "O... kay then?"
Before he could question further, he senses something was wrong. Looking over, he narrows his eyes, feeling a sense of foreboding and danger in their direction.
Haruhito: (narrowed eyes) "The others are in trouble. I need to go."
Acting quickly, he pulls out the Connect Wizard Ring and then places it on his right finger before hovering it over his buckle, activating it.
[Connect! Please!]
A magic circle appears in front of him and reaching inside, Haruhito pulls out the Machinewinger. Hopping on it, he reeves up the bike and rides of to where the others were.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Back with everyone else, all of them looked at the new Abstracted Pomni with continued fear and terror in their eyes. Their backs were pressed against the wall as Jester prepares to 'murder' then all via abstraction.
Ragatha: (pleads) "Pomni stop! Please! I know you're still in there! Fight it! Fight it and come back to your senses!"
In response, Jester lets out a malicious laugh.
Jester: (malicious laughter) "Hahahahaha! You must be really stupid aren't you! Pomni isn't here anymore! For she is now suffering eternal torment just like you will all be!"
The Abstracted Pomni raises her right hand before he eyes glow demonic red, and her hand is covered in an abstracted ball of mass.
Everyone was frozen in terror, unable to move as they're now facing their doom. Giving an evil grin, she raises her hand, preparing to infect them and turn all of them into Abstracted monsters.
Jester: (evil grin) "Don't worry. Soon you'll all be just like me. We'll all be abstracted and then we're gonna find Caine and turn this circus into a nightmare he'll never forget!"
She laughs manically as she prepares to attack them. However, just before she could get the chance, she hears the sound of a motorcycle coming up behind her. Before she could react, Haruhito arrived just in time as he rammed his bike at Jester, sending her flying to the side. Everyone looks up and are shocked to see Haruhito glance at them while on his Machinewinger.
Haruhito: "You guys okay?"
Ragatha: (nervous nod) "Yeah. You came in just a nick of time. Thought we were almost done for."
However, they were interrupted by Jax to glared at Haruhito jealously.
Jax: (jealous glare) "Seriously? You have a motorcycle too?!"
Zooble: "Ignore him. He's being an idiot."
Just then, Haruhito hears a groan and turns to face Jester to glares murderously at him.
Jester: (murderous glare) "YOU!"
The Kamen Rider widens his eyes in both shock and horror as he recognizes who she really is.
Haruhito: (wide eyes) "Pomni...?"
Ragatha: (fearful nod) "That's her alright. She's been abstracted, turning into... well that."
Gangle: (scared) "She even got Kinger."
She points over and the Kamen Rider sees the King Chess Piece glitching violently as he looks back at him and reaches his hand out for help.
Kinger: (glitch tone) "P̵̥̺̑ͅ-̶̫̃P̶̻̜̋͛-̸̭̄̐Ṕ̸̤͚͗̕ḷ̵̻̈͛͝ē̸͚̤̙͝ȧ̸͓s̷̢͓̈͋̂e̷͉͂̿.̸̳̭̫̅̚.̵̠͎͂̚͘͜.̸̼̊͊͌ ̷̼̐h̷̢͈̓-̵̭̯̙̊͋́h̴͙̋̑̒e̷͍͉̎ḷ̵́̎̍p̶͇͝.̶͎̈́̀͝.̷̘͆͆͋.̴̡̱̓ ̷̞͖̜̿m̸̥̒̀̐é̷͕̩.̸͖̱̘̈́͑͆.̸̽͜͝.̴̗͙̗̍̿̂"
The Kamen Rider glances over to see Kinger now a glitching mess, the same way Ragatha was on his first day. Horrified at what Pomni had become, Haruhito gets off and de-summons his Machinewinger, preparing to face the Abstracted monster.
Jester: (glares) "So you're the Wizard that little Jester had been so fond over. How annoying you're getting in the way of my fun. Don't worry, I'm gonna make sure I RIP YOU APART IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE!!!"
She lets out a demonic screech and dashes towards Haruhito. He dodges to the side and spin kicks her to the other side of the room.
Haruhito: (glares) "Everyone get outta here! I'll handle Pomni and try to get her back to her senses!"
Just then, Caine comes over to ascertain the situation and is shocked to see the Abstracted the Pomni.
Caine: (horrified) "Oh no! Pomni's been abstracted!"
Jax then runs over and grabs the AI Ringleader as he pleads with him to do something.
Jax: (panics) "Pomni's been abstracted! Quick Caine! Get rid of her!"
Caine: (nods) "I'm on it! Sorry Pomni but into the cellar you go."
Before Caine could do anything, Haruhito was quick to grab Caine and pulls him towards him as he glares at him.
Haruhito: (glares) "Absolutely not! Caine you are NOT putting her in that cellar! There's gotta be another way to save her instead of locking her up! Got it!"
Caine nods nervously before Haruhito threw him to the ground, The AI Ringlearder cured Kinger and got him back to normal while Gangle looked at the Kamen Rider in worry.
Gangle: (worried) "How are you going to save her?"
Haruhito: (narrowed eyes) "I have an idea... but I need to weaken her first."
With no other choice, everyone began to leave so both Haruhito and Jester can face each other.
Ragatha: (worried) "Be careful alright?"
Haruhito: (nods) "I will. No go!"
Ragatha then left to join the others as Jester mocks him.
Jester: (mocking tone) "It looks like your friends have abandoned you. Such a shame really since I won't have the chance to make them hear your screams."
Haruhito: (glares) "Give me back Pomni."
Jester: (laughs) "Pomni? You still care for that little [Beep!]? Hahahahaha! What makes you think she'll want anything to do with you? It's funny really since she cried out for your name but now never showed up to save her. Fore shame really since you left her to suffer."
The Kamen Rider glares at her angrily as he clenches his fists tightly due to this new information.
Jester: (laughs) "Besides, your precious Pomni isn't here no more! For I am the Jester!"
To his surprise, Jester fired a pair of laser beams from her eyes, forcing him to dodge out of the way. He rolls to the side before glaring back.
Haruhito: (glares) "Tsk. Guess I have no choice then."
He pulls out and slips on the 'Driver On' Wizard Ring before hovering over his belt buckle, thus brining out his driver.
[Driver On! Please!]
With the Wizardriver manifested, he pulls out the Flame Wizard Ring and slips it on. Holding the driver, he switches it to left had, initiating the transformation announcement.
[Shabadoobi Touch Henshin! Shabadoobi Touch Henshin!]
Haruhito: (glares) "Henshin!"
He hovers the ring over his driver, thus activating the transformation.
[Flame! Please!]
Casting his hand to the left side, a red magic circle appears before it starts moving towards him and then begins engulfing Haruhito in a fiery inferno.
[Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi!]
The transformation was soon completed, showing Haruhito in his Flame Style Wizard form. He then pulls out the Connect Wizard Ring and switches his Wizardriver to right hand mode before hovering the ring over it, activating the magic sequence.
[Connect! Please!]
A magic circle appears beside him, and he reaches inside to pull out his WizarSwordGun in sword mode. Twirling the weapon, he gets into a fighting stance as Jester readies her claws.
Haruhito: (glares) "Now then... it's showtime!"
(BGM: Kamen Rider Wizard - Opening FULL [Life Is Showtime] By Shou Kiryuin)
https://youtu.be/crr1r-a80HA
The background music is heard as Jester lets out a demonic screech.
Jester: (demonic screech) "DIE!"
She charges and tries to slash at him. However, Haruhito rolls out of the way and slashes against Jester. Engulfing his left fist in fire, he delivers a right hook towards Jester's face, sending her to the side. He then does a spinning back kick against her before switching his WizarSwordGun into gun mode and then fires at her repeatedly. Jester screams in pain before flying away with her abstracted wings. She then fires her laser eyes, trying to incinerate Haruhito. However, the Kamen Rider reacts by also manifesting his magic wings and takes to the air. This shocks Jester to see that he can fly but then she scowls as she charges at him.
The two do an ariel battle as they fly all over the circus while launching both energy and elemental attacks. Jester opens her mouth, firing what looked like barf made of glitched abstraction. The Kamen Rider raises her hand and launches a torrent of flame that burns it away. He then switches his weapon to gun mode and fires at Jester, staggering her enough for the Kamen Rider to use on of his special attacks.
Haruhito: (glares) "Let's see you handle this."
Switching his WizarSwordGun to sword mode, he holds it sideways and then flicks the thumb to open the palm. He then places his left hand on the palm, the Flame Wizard Ring activating the special attack.
[Flame! Slash Strike!]
The blade was soon engulfed in fire and red magic circles as Haruhito twirls the blade.
[Hii! Hii! Hii! Hii! Hii! Hii!]
Gripping the weapon with both hands, he flies down and slashes downwards against Jester, causing her to scream and crash onto the ground. The Kamen Rider lands down gracefully and turns to face the abstracted Pomni who is seen climbing out of the crater, glaring murderously at Haruhito.
Jester: (murderous glare) "You [Honk!]-ing [Boing!]-hole! Stand still so I can kill you!"
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Meanwhile, the others are seen watching the battle unfold with looks of worry and fear.
Gangle: (scared) "Oh this is bad. Should we be worried? Should we help Haruhito?"
Jax: (glares) "What are you nuts?! No way! You've seen how dangerous Pomni is now that's she's been abstracted! Besides if Haruhito does end up dead, I'm sure Caine can just use his mojo to lock her up in that cellar. That's how it worked every time."
Ragatha: glares) "Jax! How can you say that?!"
Zooble: (rolls eyes) "Oh don't bother. Jax is like this because he's jealous that Haruhito has magic powers and he doesn't."
Jax: (glares) "I'm not jealous!"
Zooble: (scoffs) "Could've fooled me."
Kinger, who was now back to normal thanks to Caine, is terrified at the implications that all of them are gonna die.
Kinger: (terrified) "What are we gonna do?! We're going to die!"
Ragatha: "Calm down Kinger. I'm sure everything will be fine. I'm sure Haruhito has this... I hope."
Of course, that didn't calm him down. If anything, it just made him more paranoid and scared to the point of insanity. Ragatha then looked over at where Haruhito continued to fight against the abstracted Pomni and she had a worried expression on her face, hoping that everything will be fine in the end.
Ragatha Thoughts: (worried) "Oh Haruhito... please be safe... and save Pomni if you can..."
*MUNCH!*
Confused, they look over to see Caine eating a bowl of popcorn. The AI Ringleader sees them all looking at him, causing him to give a confused look.
Caine: (confused) "What? This is a good show so might as well enjoy it."
Everyone except Jax looked at him with looks of disapproval.
Ragatha: (disproval) "Really Caine? Haruhito is out there fighting against Pomni to save her and you're eating popcorn while treating this like a movie?"
Caine: (shrugs) "Why not? It's not like we can do anything right now. So might as well just enjoy the show. Isn't that right Bubble?"
Bubble: (smiles) "You got that right!"
He then pulls out a box and opens it to reveal an Ice Cream Cake.
Caine: "Anyone want some Ice Cream Cake-"
Bubble swoops in and eats the entire Ice Cream Cake in one gulp. Caine was knocked down and glared angrily at Bubble.
Caine: (glares) "Ugh! You parasite!"
Ignoring both Caine and Babble, the rest of the gang continued to watch at the battle, hoping it'll end soon and Haruhito will survive long enough to save Pomni...
...except for Jax but he doesn't matter.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Back with Haruhito, he's seen continuing the fight against Jester before doing a back flip to avoid another claw swipe. Furious, Jester manifests what looked like four spider-like appendages with razor sharp edges and manipulates then to impale Haruhito. However, the Kamen Rider reacted quickly and pulls out the Defend Wizard Ring. Slipping it on, he switches his Wizardriver to right hand and hover the ringer over it, activating the ability.
[Defend! Please!]
Soon Haruhito is covered in a dome of fire and the abstracted spider appendages are burned, destroying them. Putting his WizarSwordGun away, the Kamen Rider rushes at Abstracted Pomni while manifesting two daggers made completely out of condensed fire. She tries to swipe at him, but Haruhito boosts up and gets behind her. Before Jester could react, the Kamen Rider raises the daggers and impales both of them into her back. This causes her to scream in agony, especially when feeling the burning sensation, like lava being poured into her.
Jester: (agonizing scream) "ARGH! YOU STABBED ME! YOU ACTUALLY STABBED ME!"
Before she could scream anymore, the two impaled fire daggers explode, sending her flying and crashing into a wall. With her now down, Haruhito felt now was the time to put her down so her can save Pomni.
Haruhito: (glares) "Time for the finale."
Reaching behind him, he pulls out the Kick Strike Wizard Ring and slips it on his right hand. He then switches the Wizardriver to left hand before back to right hand.
[Lupachi Magic Touch Go! Lupachi Magic Touch Go!]
He hovers the ring over his driver, activating the magical ability.
[Very Nice! Kick Strike! The Best!]
Fire manifests and surrounds his right leg before doing a run and them a front flip. Haruhito does some acrobatics before jumping in the air and doing a rider kick.
The attack connects and Jester screams as she engulfed in fire. Turing around, he sees that the abstracted Pomni was now on the ground and unconscious, giving the Kamen Rider the opportunity he needed to save her.
(Background Music Ends)
Running over to her body, Haruhito flips her over and grabs her right hand. He pulls out and uses the Bind Wizard Ring. Hovering it over his driver, he activates the ability.
[Bind! Please!]
Metal chains appear and bind Pomni's abstracted body to ensure she doesn't escape. Now putting his plan into motion, the pulls out the Engage Wizard Ring and slips it on her finger.
Haruhito: (whispers) "I hope this works."
He switches the driver from left hand and then right hand before hovering the ring over it.
[Engage! Please!]
Soon a familiar magic red circle appears and Haruhito begins to levitate. Hovering about it, the Kamen Rider enters and goes into Pomni within her mindscape.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
When Haruhito entered into Pomni's mindscape, he looked around to see what the whole placed looked like the Digital Circus, only to see that the whole place was dark in a black and white setting. It had an ominous vide, one equivalent to that of being in a horror movie. He shook his head as he focused more on the task at hand.
Haruhito: (shakes head) "Forget it. I made a promise so let's go find Pomni."
He begins running, using his magic in order to pick up her signature. Eventually he was able to sense her and made it way to that direction. After a minute or two of running, Haruhito stops and widens his eyes to find Pomni. She was at the stage, but he sees her being bounded by abstracted tentacles. However, he becomes scared when he sees that all color from Pomni is drained from her, now showing a character in black and white like some early to mid 1900s cartoon character. She also bears an emotionless expression, showing nothing but loneliness and despair.
Haruhito: (wide eyes) "Pomni!"
He was about to run over to her, but he dashed to the side in order to avoid a laser beam. Looking at the source of where that attack came from, Haruhito sees Jester descending from the ceiling with her wings unfurled.
Jester: (sadistic grin) "Did you really think this would all be so easy? Fool! As if I'll let you take my most prized possession. How else will I wreak havoc on that miserable Circus."
Haruhito: (glares) "I don't have time for this."
Pulling out the Dragorise Wizard Ring and lsipping it on, he had already switched his Wizardriver to left hand before going back to right hand.
[Lupachi Magic Touch Go! Lupachi Magic Touch Go! Lupachi Magic Touch Go!]
Haruhito: (glares) "Let's see how you deal with this. Come now, Dragon!"
He hovers the ring over, activating the magical ability.
[Dragorise! Please!]
Raising his hand up, a familiar red magical circle appears which summons his Phantom called the Infinity Wizardragon. The Phantom looks at Jester and roars, much to her shock.
Jester: (shocked) "What?! Is that freaking Dragon?!"
Haruhito: "Take care of her while I rescue Pomni."
Before Jester could react, Infinity Wizardragon tacked her and sent her flying to the other side of the circus. While that was happening, the Kamen Rider runs over and tries to free his Jester friend.
Haruhito: "Pomni, hang on. I'm gonna get you outta here."
However, just as he was trying to free her, Pomi finally spoke up, catching his attention as she spoke in an emotionless tone.
Pomni: (emotionless) "What's the point? No one cares about me."
This causes the Kamen Rider to look at her confusion, wondering why she would say such a thing.
Haruhito: (confused) "What? Why would you say that? Of course there are people who care about you."
Pomni: (emotionless) "No there isn't. Not here nor in the real world. I might've had a family or even a lover, but they must've given up on me and moved on. And everyone in this circus can't seem to stand each other. I'm all alone here in this Digital nightmare. So, what's the point in fighting when all it will bring me is pain and misery."
She then looks directly into Haruhito's eyes, her emotionless look leaving a haunted expression on her face.
Pomni: (emotionless) "Just go. Leave me here to rot. Maybe it's better for the others if they don't have to see me anymore. All I've done is being nothing but trouble since I got here... especially towards you."
Hearing horrified Haruhito to see her fall easily into despair. However, remembering his promise he made to her, he refused to give up and tried desperately to free Pomni.
Haruhito: (shakes head) "No! I refuse to give up! I didn't come her just to see you suffer. I made a promise I would save you. To give you hope when in despair and I intend to keep that promise no matter what. So, I'll save you Pomni. Even you say you don't want to."
Pomni: (emotionless) "But-"
Haruhito: (glares) "But nothing!"
He gently grasps her face as the two look at each other at eye level.
Haruhito: (glares) "You say there are people who don't care about you. You say you bring nothing but trouble. But you're wrong! You DO have people who care about you. The others at the Circus have suffered just as much as you did, lost friends and loved ones to Abstraction. And yet in spite of all that, they still found the will and courage to not give up hope. And what about me? What makes you think I didn't care about you? If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't be here to save you right now and instead I would've let Caine lock you up in that cellar. Pomni please. Come back to us... to me and help me free you from their prison you made yourself."
Hearing this made the Pomni widen her eyes as some color began to return to her. Haruhito smiled at this, but then suddenly he was yanked away and thrown off the stage. Doing a back flip, he lands on the ground and sees Jester glaring down at him while Infinity Wizardragon lands behind him protectively. He can clearly saw his Phantom gave that Abstracted monster a good thrashing as he sees both cuts and bruises all over her body.
Jester: (glares) "That may have been a neat track of yours but not enough! Why are you working so hard to save this worthless weakling?! All she's ever done since coming to the circus is bring chaos and misery to all the other Circus members! They don't care about her! If anything, it'll me more convenient for them if they just got rid of her! One less 'Bad Seed' to ruin their lives!"
Haruhito: (glares) "So that's what this is? That you think Pomni is inferior to you? Let me tell you that she's a lot better than you in every possible way! I believe in her!"
Pomni was able to look at Haruhito it wide eyes while Jester was outraged hearing this.
Jester: "You dare compare me to a mere insect! What does she have that I don't?!"
She charges at him, but Infinity Wizardragon blasts her away with a beam of energy.
Haruhito: (glares) "It not what she has, but it's what I promised her. I promised her that no matter what happens, I would be there for her. I promised that that I would protect and comfort her whenever she needs it. But above all, I promised Pomni that when she falls to despair like she is in right now, I would be her shining beacon of Hope!"
Hearing all this had a dramatic effect on Pomni as color began to return to her. She clenches her fists and then began to slowly struggle in order to get out of her bindings. What Haruhito had said had indeed given her hope and now wants to find a way out of her predicament. Meanwhile, Jester scowls after hearing Haruhito's speech.
Jester: (scowls) "What good is hope when all there is nothing but evil?! I've seen what this girl's been through and none of it was even good! Like all humans, you don't care!"
Haruhito: (glares) "Hope is what makes humanity grow! Without it we would be dead! It's true I've seen humanity at its worst, but I've also seen then when they were at their best! And just like Pomni, she does have people who DO care about her!"
Jester: (angry roar) "Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!!!"
She fires her laser beams, but Infinity Wizardragon uses his wing to block the attack. He then summons and uses the Connect Wizard Ring, activating its ability.
[Connect! Please!]
A red magic circle appears, and the Kamen Rider pulls out the Machinewinger before morphing it and jumping on the back of Infinity Wizardragon, the vehicle connecting and now riding his Phantom like a mount.
Haruhito: (glares) "Because of that... you will never defeat me!"
Controlling his Phantom, Infinity Wizardragon roars at it attacks Jester. The abstracted monster tries to flee but is knocked to the ground, Before Haruhito could continue the attack, Jester glanced over at Pomni and did something that horrified the Kamen Rider.
Jester: (glares) "IF I CAN'T HAVE HER, THEN NO ONE WILL!!!"
She manages to raise her hand and suddenly abstracted tentacles appeared. Without warning, they begin to wrap around Pomni and choke the life outta her, causing her to struggle breathing.
Haruhito: (wide eyes) "NO!"
While his Phantom deals with Jester, he rushes over and tries to free Pomni.
Pomni: "Haru...?"
Haruhito: (nods) "Yes! I'm right here but you need to fight! Fight it!"
Pomni: "I... I can't... I..."
Haruhito: (pleads) "You must Pomni! POMNI PLEASE! YOU CAN DO THIS! I KNOW YOU CAN!"
As he tries to free her, the abstraction continues to engulf Pomni at a rapid rate. Far too fast for Haruhito to stop. In a last-ditch effort, Haruhito shouted one last thing in order to Pomni to give Hope another chance.
Haruhito: (pleads) "YOU'RE NOT ALONE ANYMORE!"
By now, Pomni was completely engulfed and now covered in abstraction. Haruhito looked horrified as he tried to dig in and get Pomni. However, just as all hope seemed lost, he was soon surrounded by a pinkish aura which soon condensed and turned into a familiar Wizard Ring called the Hope Wizard Ring.
The Kamen Rider's eyes go wide at the sight of a familiar ring hovering in front of him.
Haruhito: (wide eyes) "Wait... isn't this...?"
He was familiar with the ring since his parents told him about it and how it helped bring his mother back. Seeing that as a chance to save Pomni, he takes the ring and slips it on. He then switches his Wizardriver to right hand mode, making it go on standby for the magical ability.
[Lupachi Magic Touch Go! Lupachi Magic Touch Go! Lupachi Magic Touch Go!]
Haruhito: (nervous) "I hope this works."
He hovers the ring over the driver, activating the magical ability.
[Hope! Please!]
Raising his hand out, a magical pink circle appears in front of him before emanating a pink wave of energy. To his astonishment, he watches at the abstraction black masses all begin to dissolve, especially the mass surrounding Pomni as she's now free from her bindings. She gasps and opens her eyes as Haruhito caught her and held her close.
Haruhito: "I got you. You're okay now."
Pomni: (shocked) "I... Where... what happened?! Am I dead?!"
She looks around frantically before her eyes land on Haruhito.
Pomni: (shocked) "Haru?"
Haruhito: (smiles and nods) "Yeah. It's-OOF!"
Pomni grabs Haruhito and wraps her arms around her waist, hugging him tightly and crying loudly. The Kamen Rider's eyes soften seeing this and hugs her back. On the other hand, the abstracted monster known as Jester saw everything that happened and was shocked to see what Haruhito had done.
Jester: (shocked) "What?! That's impossible!"
She screeches in rage, catching their pairs attention. Knowing they needed to get outta here, Haruhito grabs Pomni and they try to make a break for it.
Haruhito: (glares) "Come on! Let's get outta here!"
While running, Infinity Wizardragon swoops in and lands as the pair get on and fly away to leave. Jester gave a murderous glare, unwilling to allow them to leave this place.
Jester: (murderous glare) "No! I won't let you leave! I won't let you take her!"
She unfurls her wings and chases after them. While riding, a familiar red magic circle appears right in front of Haruhito and Pomni before it transformed into a portal.
Haruhito: "That must be our way out!"
Pomni: (fearful) "Then hurry and let's get outta here!"
However, just as they were nearing the portal, Jester was able to get close them and manages to grab onto Pomni's leg. She screams in panic as she struggles to get away from her abstraction.
Pomni: (panics) "AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! SHE'S GOT ME!"
Jester tries to pull her off the Phantom, but Haruhito stops her.
Haruhito: (glares) "Get off her!"
He jumps and double kicks her in the face, causing her to let go. She regains her composure in the air as Haruhito also unfurls his magic wings and hovers in the air to face her. Jester gives a furious glare, angry that she's about to lose Pomni.
Jester: (furious glare) "NO! She's mine you hear me! MINE!"
Haruhito: (glares) "She was never yours to begin with. Dragon, get Pomni to the portal! I'll catch up!"
The Phantom nods at it quickly makes it way over to the portal. Hester was about to go after, but the Kamen Ride is able to stab her with his WizarSwordGun in sword mode. Weakened from this, Haruhito kicks her away and flies back to Pomni where she's now at the portal waiting from him. Infinity Wizardragon is now gone, leaving Pomni who is seen sitting on the Machinewinger. She motions him to hurry, shouting at him at she wants to leave.
Pomni: "Come on! Hurry! We need to get outta here now!"
By then, Haruhito arrives and lands on his bike. Reving up his vehicles, they drive off into the portal while Jester saw they were about to leave. Despite her weakened state, she roars with rage as she crawls towards them.
(A/N: It's essentially like this.)
https://youtu.be/5QlEdUV_g6s
Jester: (rageful roar) "NOOOOOOOOO! I WILL NOT BE DENIED!"
But it was too late as both Pomni and Haruhito went through the portal, finally escaping this realm of nightmare and horror.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Back in the digital world, Jester had just woken up and managed to get out of her binds, but then screams in agony as a light erupts from her chest. Soon her chest is soon torn open and out came both Haruhito and Pomni who were now finally free from Jester's grasp. Everyone was shocked to see that Haruhito had succeeded in saving Pomni and separated her from her abstracted counterpart. Smiling in happiness, Ragatha ran over and grabbed Pomni as she pulled her into a tight hug.
Ragatha: (relieved smile) "Pomni! Oh, thank GOD you're alright!"
Haruhito smiled as the others gathered around her, all shocked to see that Pomni was not only separated by her abstraction from but is also seen completely fine. However, the moment was cut short when Haruhito's eyes caught sight of Jester burst towards both Pomni and Ragatha with the intent to kill them.
Haruhito: (wide eyes) "MOVE!"
Acting fast, he manages to push the two away, but as a result he got the receiving end of the attack.
*CRACK!*
The impact of the attack sent him flying a few feet away and crashing onto the ground. The others scream in horror due to what happened to him.
Gangle: (horrified) "Oh no!"
Zooble: (horrified) "This is bad!"
Pomni: (horrified) "HARU!"
The Kamen Rider grunts and manages to get back on his knees, revealing that the upper left half of his helmet was cracked open, revealing the upper left half of his face. However, he also feels something warm slide down and his surprised to see a few drops of red liquid on the floor, making him realize what that is.
Haruhito Thoughts: (wide eyes) "Blood?"
He was shocked but then he remembers that he's still human compared to the others. But once again, his attention was focused back on Jester to screams at him with absolute rage due to freeing Pomni from her grasp.
Jester: (murderous glare) "YOU HAVE INTERFERED WITH ME FOR THE LAST TIME!!! I'M GOING TO [Beep!]-ING MURDER YOU!!! I'LL RIP YOU APART LIMB FROM LIMB!!! MOLECULE BY MOLECULE!!! ATOM BY ATOM UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF YOU!!!"
Glaring at her, the Kamen Rider stand back up, glaring at her as some blood trickles down his face.
Haruhito: (grunts and glares) "I'll stop you. I don't care how powerful you are. I'm going to put you down and make you regret coming into existence in the first place."
Suddenly a glow appeared behind him, and he reaches behind him to grab something which is revealed to be the Infinity Wizard Ring.
The Kamen Rider can sense his Phantom, telling exactly what he wants him to do in order to finish this fight once and for all.
Haruhito: "He wants me to use this ring?"
Clenching the ring tightly, he slips it on and soon gets into a stance.
Haruhito: "Although not as powerful as my Wilhelm form, this should finish the job."
Grasping his Wizardriver, he switches it from right hand and then back to left hand, making the transformation go on standby.
Haruhito: (glares) "In to finish this! Once and for all!"
He hovers the ring over his driver, activating the transformation.
[Infinity! Please!]
Spreading his arms out, a shimmering translucent version of Infinity Wizardragon comes out and flies into the air before flying back down, slamming into Haruhito which soon manifests into a crystalized magic circles with a rainbow-colored aura and his Phantom flying around him. The magic circle then rises up as the transformation sequence begins.
[Hi-Sui-Fu-Do-Bo! Bou-Zaba-Byu-Dogon-Storm!]
Haruhito is soon encased in crystal before it shatters, revealing him now in his Infinity Style.
When Haruhito's Infinity style was shown, it drew reactions of shock and amazement to see his new transformation.
Ragatha: (amazed) "Wow! He looks so-"
Gangle: (amazed) "GORGEOUS!"
Kinger: (amazed) "He looks like a Knight made of diamond!"
Zooble: (amazed) "Okay, I gotta admit, that cool as [Bonk!]."
Caine: (amazed) "Incredible! I knew he was perfect for this job! Way better than that one other Kamen Rider I was tempted to summon. Who was it? Ex something?"
Bubble: (smiles) "You sure said it boss!"
Of course, Jax wasn't too happy as he was once again jealous seeing Haruhito outshine him once again in terms of power and coolness due to his magic and transformations.
Jax: (jealous glare) "Pfft. Big deal."
For Pomni, she didn't say anything as she was too traumatized by the events that happened to her. However, she too felt amazed seeing Haruhito's new transformation. As for Jester, she began to feel nervous seeing the Infinity Form, especially as Haruhito glares at her behind his helmet.
Haruhito: (glares) "Let's try this again, shall we?"
He then cracks his knuckles.
Haruhito: (glares) "Because now... it's showtime!"
(BGM: Kamen Rider Wizard - Infinity Form - Missing Piece)
https://youtu.be/WYv3zNHFvG0
Despite the odds, Jester tried to put on a brave and defiant face.
Jester: (scowls) "Tsk! Another form? Do you really think this'll change the outcome?"
Haruhito: (glares) "Considering the fact I've been kicking your [Doy!] so far, I think my chances are pretty high."
Gritting her teeth in rage, fires her laser beams at him, but to her shock, the beams just showed no effect as Haruhito's armor seemed to absorb the beams. Frowning, Jester tries to do close combat, but the Kamen Rider dodges before doing a series of kicks and punches that sends her away. Staggered from the counterattack, the Kamen Rider then summons his main weapon.
Haruhito: (glares) "Let's go! Dragon!"
He holds his hand out and the crystalized translucent Infinity Wizardragon appears before being transformed into the Axcalibur.
Holding it like a sword, he begins slashing and stabbing her. Jester tries to fight back and dodge the attacks, but that was easier said than done at Haruhito's current form enhance his abilities greatly. She then unfurls her wings to take to the skies, but the Kamen Rider also manifests his magic wings whose appearance looks crystal with a rainbow-colored aura. The two fought in the air until Jester manages to tackle her to the ground. She slashes at his chest but Haruhito head butts her, causing her to stagger back. Pushing her back, Haruhito sucker punches Jester in the face and then slashes her on the chest.
He tries to stab her, but she quickly retaliates by punching the Kamen Rider on the helmet, knocking him back. Jester tries to go on the offensive, but Haruhito uppercuts her under the chin, causing her to grunt in pain and fall to the ground. Pinning her to the floor with his left foot, he holds the Axcalibur in a reverse grip and stabs her on the arm which impales right through and into the floor, trapping her. From there, Haruhito grabs Jester from the back of the head before violently slamming her face on the floor repeatedly. This went on for a few seconds before Haruhito grabs his weapon again.
Haruhito: (glares) "This. Ends. NOW!"
Holding the Axcalibur in sword mode, he raises the blade in reverse grip, ready to impale her. However, Jester reacted quickly by slamming her elbow into his chest, staggering him back before kicking him away. She gets back up and roars at him rage.
Jester: (glares) "THIS ENDS WHEN I SAY IT ENDS!!!"
She fires her laser beams at him, bit blocks the attack with Axcalibur. When it was done, Haruhito activated one of his magical abilities as he hovers the Infinity Wizard Ring about his driver.
[Infinity!]
Getting into a stance, Haruhito runs before suddenly turning into a flash of light. He was too fast for the abstracted monster as the Kamen Rider slashes at her from both sides.
She's soon knocked to the ground as Haruhito flips his weapon over, now holding it like an axe.
Haruhito: "Now you're done for."
He then touches the palm to activate the finisher move.
[Turn On!]
From there, Haruhito charges at Jester as he swings the axe and the red blade makes contact, sending sparks everywhere as Jester screams in pain from all the blows. He finishes by slicing her abdomen and kicks her away, causing her to crash onto the ground and groan in pain. Once on the ground, Haruhito readied the finishing move.
Haruhito: "Now for the finale."
Touching the palm again, he begins spinning the Axcalibur as it glows a rainbow color and sparkles at it spins.
[High Touch! Shining Strike!]
Soon the blade grows bigger and bigger until it was now three times his size.
[Kirakira! Kirakira! Kirakira! Kirakira!]
The Kamen Rider the jumps into the air and a crystalize glyph appears behind him before a translucent Infinity Wizardragon appeared to go into the Axcalibur. Jester tried to escape but it was too late as Haruhito slammed the blade down on her.
Pulling back, he watches as Jester lets out an agonizing scream from the attack.
Jester: (agonizing scream) "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Haruhito then turns as Jester's body falls to the ground and then explodes, finally finishing the battle.
(Background Music Ends)
When the smoke had cleared, its revealed that Jester is still alive, but it now dying to to glitching severely and appears to be disappearing. The others are shocked by this but Haruhito glares down at her as he watches her last dying moments. Just before she died, she gave one last look at Pomni and then vice versa.
Jester: (glares) "Ŷ̴͔̥͚o̵̯̿̏ṳ̴͉͉̄͝ ̴̪̏̄̑͜w̵̺͇̽̃͌i̵͚͖̅l̷̝͋l̸̥̙̂.̸̠̌͗̐.̴̢̙̖͌.̸̝̗̦̾̌͝ ̴̨̧̙̽n̷͔̄̄e̷̘̣͋̑́v̴͕̗̳͊͐̕e̵̮͙͊ŕ̷͙̱̦̌͝ ̵̗͇̗̌b̷̢͋͊ê̷̡̻̈́͂ ̸̣̊́͠f̵͔̅̿r̸̝̄͛e̷͚̭̓͝e̷̪͚̿̾.̴̡̜̰́.̴͚͕̮̋͝.̸͙̩̍ ̷̻͐́͝f̷̹̪̈́̃͝r̵̥̈ͅŏ̷͙m̵̋͜ ̵̛͈̓t̸̗̦̓́h̶͔̔͝ĩ̸̻̊s̷̻̾̑̈́ ̶̞̱́͝p̶̜͙̒͆̔l̸̖̓a̷̢̡̝̎c̵̫̊é̵͈̝̿.̵̧̮́͌̈́.̴͕͓̿̆͜.̷̜̇͆"
And with that, Jester finally goes limp, and her body disappears into nothing, indicating that she's finally dead and gone for good. He then turns back to the others and sees their shocked expressions before he De-Henshins back to normal.
Haruhito: "You guys good?"
There was silence for a moment or two before Jax spoke up, summarizing exactly how everyone feels.
Jax: (shocked) "...... What the [Bonk!] was that?"
The Kamen Rider sighs and shakes his head as Jax's vulgarity while the others soon speak up.
Ragatha: (shocked) "I uh... yeah. A little violent for my taste but that was still incredible what you've done."
Gangle: (shocked) "You even managed to save Pomni from being abstracted."
Zooble: (nods) "Yeah what she said. That's like...never happened before... ever."
Kinger that appears from around the corner, looking around with a fearful expression on his face.
Kinger: (fearful) "Is it over? Are we safe?"
Ragatha: (smiles) "Yes Kinger. It's safe. It's all over now."
The veteran resident sighs in relief as he makes his way over to the others.
Kinger: (relieved sigh) "Oh thank God."
But soon everyone was interrupted when Caine cleared his throat.
Caine: (ahem) "While that's all swell and good, but believe he was more pressing matters to address. Such as this huge mess that was made."
Everyone, minus Pomni who's still trying to comprehend what happened to her, looks around to see the whole circus was a complete mess due to the battle between Haruhito and Jester. The whole place looked as though it went through a tornado as the floors were damaged, the walls were torn open, and the various objects and staged looked almost completely destroyed.
Caine: "Well we can't keep it like this, so everyone let's clean this mess up."
He snaps his fingers as cleaning equipment and supplies appear. This causes complaints from the others due to the fact they're all exhausted from today's events, and they don't wanna clean. Luckily, Haruhito helped offer a solution.
Haruhito: (sigh) "I'll handle it."
He pulls out and slips on the Create Wizard Ring before hovering it over the black palm on his driver.
[Create! Please!]
Raising the ring into the air, the Kamen Rider snaps his fingers as rainbow-colored magic circle appears and soon the whole place is engulfed by a magical, rainbow-colored tornado. After a few seconds, a bright flash of light appears and when it disappeared, it shows the Circus was now completely new, much to everyone's surprise and shock.
Caine: (smiles) "Well now that's convenient."
Ragatha: (dumbfounded nods) "It sure is."
Jax: (shrugs) "Well at least this means we don't have to clean up a huge mess. Thank God."
Ignoring everyone, Haruhito turns his attention back to Pomni as he sees her looking down on the floor with a traumatic expression on her face. Worried for her mental health, he walks over and kneels down in front of her, gently placing a hand on top of her head.
Haruhito: (worried) "Pomni? Are you alright?"
She manages to raise her head and Haruhito was met with her tear stain face as tears still continued to fall down her face.
Grimacing at the sight, the Kamen Rider gently grabs her and pulls her into a hug. She didn't resist as she wraps her arms around him to return the hug. No one interfered during this moment, including Jax, as they all knew this was something the two needed. After half a minute, the two pulled away a bit as Pomni finally speaks up after the fight.
Pomni: (whispers) "...Haru?"
The Kamen Rider looked at her with a reassuring smile and nods.
Haruhito: (reassuring smile) "It's okay Pomni. You're okay now."
The little Jester stares at him but then notices the blood on the left side of Shio's face.
Pomni: (whispers) "...You're bleeding."
She reaches up and touches his cheek.
Pomni: (whispers) "Are you okay?"
Haruhito: "Huh? Oh... (smiles) Yeah I'm okay."
Even though he says he's alright, Pomni is horrified as she realizes that she's the one responsible for causing that injury towards him due to being abstracted.
Pomni Thoughts: (horrified mutter) "I... did this?"
Unable to contain herself and remembering what her Abstracted counterpart had done to the others, Pomni breaks down crying as she covers her face with her hands as tears continue to scream down onto the floor. This surprised Haruhito as he got worried that she might be hurt somewhere.
Haruhito: (surprised) "Pomni? Why are you crying? Are you hurt somewhere?"
She doesn't respond as the little Jester continues to cry uncontrollably due to all the damage and chaos she has caused from turning into a monster, thus causing her to feel an immense amount of guilt. Pomni hugs Haruhito tightly, her tears staining his shirt as the Kamen Rider gently rubs her back to comfort her. Everyone else looked at her with both worry and sympathy while Jax just rolls his eyes at the pitiful sight.
Jax: (rolls eyes) "Oh great. She's crying again like a baby-OW!"
Ragatha smacks him across the face and glares at him, essentially telling him to 'Shut Up'. Although angry at her, Jax doesn't retaliate as he crosses his arms and looks away with a huff. As for Haruhito, he gently picked Pomni up and held her tightly as the young lady wraps her arms and legs around him to prevent her from letting go. With her now secured, the Kamen Rider turns to face the others.
Haruhito: "Given what's happened today, I think its best I take Pomni to her room to rest. She'll need it."
Ragatha: (nods) "Yeah I agree. I guess we'll all stay here then."
Haruhito nods and begins to walk back to the living quarters in order to drop off Pomni at her room. Before fully leaving, he then notices Gangle had her mask broken and walked up to her as he had a pretty good idea who broke it.
Haruhito: "Jax?"
Gangle: (sad tone) "Yeah..."
Haruhito: (sigh) "Of course."
Carefully taking the mask, he places it together and uses his magic to repair it. He then hands it back to her and she smiles at Haruhito in appreciation.
Gangle: (smiles) "Thank you."
He smiles and nod before gently patting her 'head'. Gangle didn't know why, but she liked how he gently patted her head as a small blush formed on her face.
Haruhito: (nods) "Right I'm gonna take Pomni back to her room. You can all do whatever you want, but I think all of us deserve a good rest."
Everyone agreed on that. There were still some activities to do so Haruhito headed off alone while carrying Pomni back to the rooms.
========= (Scene Change) ==========
The scene shifts to show Haruhito carrying Pomni back to her room as her arms and legs are still wrapped around him as she buried her face on his chest. Haruhito was still worried but kept silent. Also, the wound on his head had healed thanks to his magic. Eventually, after a few minutes of walking, they finally arrived back at Pomni's room as he gently set her down.
Haruhito: "Alright here it is. Will you be alright by yourself."
However, Pomni doesn't respond as she still has that traumatized expression on her face.
Haruhito: "Pomni? Are you good? Do you feel alight?"
It seemed like an eternity, but Pomni finally spoke up but this time in a guilty tone.
Pomni: (guilty tone) "Why? Why did you save me?"
Hearing this got the Kamen Rider confused.
Haruhito: (confused) "Why wouldn't I save? You were in trouble, and you needed help."
It was then Pomni broke down crying.
Pomni: (cries) "Because... Because it's all my fault. Everything that's happened is all my fault."
Haruhito had a good idea what she meant as Pomni bore witness to what her actions have caused due to being abstracted. In response, the Kamen Rider kneels down and tries to comfort her.
Haruhito: "Pomni none of this is your fault. Understand you feel responsible for abstracting and going crazy, but-"
He was cut off when Pomni glared and screamed at him.
Pomni: (glares) "It's not just because I abstracted! It's everything! Everything that;s happened is because of me! I'm the source of EVERYONE'S problems!"
This got Haruhito taken aback as he jerks away from her. Pomni looks at him, pleading while tearing up.
Pomni: (pleads) "Don't you get it? Kaufmo abstracting, Ragatha getting hurt and glitched, Kinger getting hurt and glitched, all the chaos and destruction that's happened, and finally how you got so hurt that you were bleeding... all of it is my fault! All of this has happened because of my arrival! Because of me, you got hurt and it's all my fault!"
Her emotions once again took over and her broke down sobbing. She covers her face with her hands, her body shaking at she continued to weep. Haruhito remained silent, thus making her cry even more as she feels embarrassed and humiliated, she's doing this in front of him.
Pomni: (cries) "You should've just left me to die. To be abstracted and let Caine lock me up in that cellar. To be... imprisoned there for my crimes... I deserve it."
Pomni hoped this would finally send him the message that she was the cause of this whole mess, that her actions and presence would soon spell doom for him and everyone else. She just wanted to be left alone in hopes she would never cause trouble to anyone ever again. But what Haruhito said next shocked her to the very core.
Haruhito: "...I don't care."
Hearing this caused Pomni to look at Haruhito in surprise, the tears still dropping. Although he still had a serious expression, he looked at her with calmness and empathy.
Pomni: (shocked mutter) "H-Huh...?"
Haruhito: "I said I don't care. And I don't think the others will care either. None of this was your fault. There was no way you could've known any of this would've happened. You just wanted to go home, and no one can blame you for that. Don't ever think you don't matter because you do. Everyone else may not be able to stand each other, but they all still look out for each other. Especially me. I'm your friend Pomni and I'll stick by you till the end."
By the time he was finished, Pomni exploded with anger as she screamed at him with tears once again streaming down her face.
Pomni: (glares) "Why?! Why do you care?! You barely know me! I'm the cause of your injuries and you would still save me?! All I've ever done was bring mischief and pain to everyone here in the circus! I'm bad luck and I'm the others would agree as well! I don't deserve your help! I don't deserve anyone's help! I should just die and-"
Before she could continue on her rant, Haruhito grabbed her and pulled her into a tight hug. Whatever anger or shock that once consumed Pomni had slowly began to die out. Eventually he let go and looked at her intently.
Haruhito: "Please don't say that. I don't like it because I find it better to see you be happier. Everyone went through what you went through just now, so they understand the feeling. There are people who wish to help you and don't wish to lose you to despair. I don't want to lose you to despair."
The Kamen Rider closes his eyes and sighs before speaking again.
Haruhito: (sigh) "When I was still a young teen, when I first learned I had a Phantom and almost fell to despair, I was scared. I was scared for my life and wondered if this was the end for me. When my father began training me to be the next Kamen Rider Wizard, I honestly felt like a freak of nature. Like a Jinchūriki from Naruto. I knew by that moment I would never have a normal life ever again. I felt nothing by existential dread, thinking I will fall to despair and turn into a Phantom. Similar to how you abstracted and became Jester. But my father and mother taught me to never give up hope. That despite the power I have, it doesn't have to be used for evil but can instead be used as a force for good. So, I did what my parents told me and as the years passed, I met and made friends who gave me a reason to live on. I have people I want to protect. People who went through similar experiences you're going through right now, but now live happier lives because I was there to give them hope. So, what I'm trying to tell you is this."
He gently cupped her cheeks with his hands and gave her a benevolent smile.
Haruhito: (smiles) "No matter what happens... no matter how bad things gets... I'll be your hope Pomni. I promise."
For some reason, Pomni believed him as a blush appeared on her face. Seeing his smile made her feel weak on her knees and she feel her heat beat rapidly due to her romantic feeling for him grow more intense. If Pomni felt like she was in a fantasy book, she would see herself as a Princess meeting her Prince.
Haruhito: "Oh and here. I know this probably won't mean anything to you, but I thought it would be nice to make a gift for you."
Using his dimensional storage magic, he puts his hand in and pulls out what looked like a box shaped present wrapped in gift wrap. He hands it over to her as Pomni is surprised to see this.
Pomni: (surprised) "A present? For me?"
Haruhito: (nods) "Yeah. I guess you can think of it as a welcome present. I might not be much, and I recommend you open it in your room, bit still... I do hope you like it."
Pomni looked like she was about to cry for someone doing something so nice for her. Then, without warning, Pomni grabs Haruhito and kisses him on the cheek. This shocked the Kamen Rider as he now had a blush on his face. He then glances down at Pomni who was also shocked by what she's done.
Haruhito: (blush) "Pomni what-?"
She looks away, holding the gift tightly with an embarrassed blush.
Pomni: (embarrassed blush) "It's-It's thanks for saving my life. I... I want to... thank you for helping me so... that's what I came up with. Anyway, thanks for the present so see you tomorrow! Night!"
She opens the door and rushes in before slamming it shut. On the other hand, Haruhito just stood there in front of the door, dumbfound that he was kissed. However, eventually he returned to normal and went back to his room to turn in for the night.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Back with Pomni, she's seen in her room with a huge blush on her face, totally embarrassed by what she's done. She couldn't believe she gave him a kiss on the cheek just because he saved her. Putting the gift on the floor, Pomni covers her face with her hands and shakes her head as thoughts of what she's done had plagued her mind.
Pomni Thoughts: (embarrassed blush) "Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Why did I do that?! Why did I have to kiss him on the cheek! What is wrong with me?! I only just met him, and I do THAT to him?! Sure, he did save me from abstraction and prevented me from being locked up for all of eternity but come on! We're total strangers! God why is this happening to me?!"
Still covering her face with her hands, Pomni leans and slides down her door. After a minute of trying to collect her thoughts, he looks over at the gift Haruhito had given her. Curious, she grabs it and makes her way over to her bed. Once there, she sat down and begins to unwrap her gift. After getting rid of the wrapping paper, she opens the box and pulls something out. To her surprise, she's holding what looked like a plushie version of herself.
Pomni: (confused) "A plushie... of me?"
She then looks back in the box to see what looked like a folded piece of paper. Grabbing it, she unfolds the paper to reveal a message Haruhito had written. He eyes began reading it as the message follows.
Dear Pomni,
I know things haven't gone well for you so far and I can only imagine why. But I want you to know that you're not alone anymore. I know you feel lost and abandoned, but none of that is true. They same for the others. They've all been through some things that no doubt traumatized them. No doubt they've lost friends and loved ones from abstraction, yet they seemed to push onwards to survive another day. I'm sure they understand what you've been through as they experience what you must've experienced today. They care for you Pomni and they WILL stick to your side.
As for me, I promised I wouldn't let anything happen to you and I did keep that promise. When I saw you were abstracted, I was scared and terrified for you. But I was able to press on and I did everything I could to save you, which I did. I know we just recently met, but I want you to know that I DO care about you. That I will NEVER abandon you. You're not a burden and you're not trouble towards me. If you were, I wouldn't have saved you and you probably wouldn't even be reading this letter. You're my friend and no matter what' I'll always have your back. No matter what happens, I'll be your hope during these dark times.
From yours truly, Haruhito Soma
(A/N: I know the letter must suck. I know. But it was the best I could come up with.)
After reading the paper, Pomni had a smile on her face while blushing yet again. She feels butterflies in her stomach and her heart beating rapidly from the emotions she was feeling towards the Wizard. Despite everything that's happened and all the trouble she's caused, he still cared for her and maybe even the others. But her main focus was on Haruhito as he stood by her side and risked his life to save her from the despair she fell into. After what happened to today and what the Kamen Rider had said to her had once again caused Pomni to have romantic feelings for him.
Pomni Thoughts: (blush) "Do I... Do I love... Haruhito...?"
As strange as it may sound and despite only met recently, Pomni had now accepted the fact she did love Haruhito, and she hopes she would gain the courage necessary to speak to him about those feelings. For now, all she wanted was to sleep and get some good night's rest. Looking back at the plushie, the little Jester smiles and hugs it tightly.
Pomni: (blushes and whispers) "Thank you..."
She closes her eyes and tucks herself to sleep whole holding onto the plushie tightly.

Both will have problems against each other and that's gonna be a reoccurring theme in the story. Anyway, that's all so now onto Episode 2!)
