The **Darkness Sword Moon Dark** is the personal weapon of Power Rider Story Killer. It is stated by TBA that it was one of the first two Holy Swords created.

## Design

The Darkness Sword Moon Dark is composed of the following parts:

* **Dark Hilt**: The handle. It sports a striking device at the end, which is striked upon the Dark Binder on the Story Killerdriver to complete the user's transformation into Power Rider Story Killer.
* **Moon Dark Trigger**: The trigger. Under the operation of the swordsman, Moon Dark reads the intention and creates dark energy with the the Holy Sword. It assists in initializing Rider Finishers.
* **Darkness Sword Moon Dark Emblem**: The emblem at the base above the Dark Hilt. It is the source of Moon Dark's dark energy. In addition, the user can perform "Evil Read", which wraps the abilities of the Fragment Tale read by the "Evil Eye Reader" with darkness attributes, and make all abilities their own.
* **Moon Dark Soul**: The blade's base. With a wisdom blade, the user can learn and embody all the folklore spelled out in the Fragment Tale from the Story Killerdriver and the "Evil Eye Reader".
* **Evil Eye Reader**: The reading device at the lower base of the blade. By contacting the Fragment Tale's "Lareader" for speed reading, speed reading with the evil eye is performed. As a result, in addition to starting the transformation, it is possible to activate a special move by reading deeply. Perform a special special move that is loaded with another Fragment Tale in two stages.
* **Gold Spike**: The golden, jagged blade. It has been forged over several stars in an abyss of darkness, has the characteristic to increase its sharpness as it goes toward the light. It is possible to cut through the space if wielded by a powerful swordsman.

## Functionality

### Transformation

To transform, the user scans a Fragment Tale on the Darkness Sword Moon Dark, places the book in the Evil Sword Story Killerdriver and presses the button on the top of the Driver with the bottom of the sword's hilt.

When Story Killer upgrades his form into Evil King Dragon, he'll appear in an area (later revealed to be a rocky hill) surrounded in dark, purple mist as a projection of Evil King Dragon Fragment Tale appeared behind him. As the Fragment Tale opens in the Story Killerdriver, a projection of a gigantic, purple dragon and four smaller, golden dragons appear from the book projections and encircle Story Killer, upgrading his torso, shoulder armor, wrist armor and helmet. Finally, a purple cape appears from the leftover aura of the dragons, finishing the transformation. Additionally, Story Killer is temporarily surrounded by dark plasmas that moves like dragon / snake before dissipating.

### Combat

Moon Dark can absorb and negate incoming energy attacks from other Holy Swords. However, this absorption has its limit and can be overwhelmed by especially powerful attacks, like finishers from a Fragment Combo.

The sword is also capable of sealing the souls of its victims within itself. However, if the victim has strong enough willpower, they can break out of the sealing.

### Finisher

*Main article: Finisher (Story Keeper)*
There are two ways of activating a finisher with the Darkness Sword Moon Dark:

1. Scanning a Fragment Tale at the base of the blade and pulling the trigger. The scanning can be done up to three times.
2. Docking the sword into the left-hand Must-Read Holder, pulling the trigger, and pulling it back out.
