Kamen Rider Samurai: One Year Later
Chapter One: Kamen Rider Baron: The Missing Overlord
Exactly one year after Cade took the Hilhelm forest with him, the city has been slowly recovering from the attacks from the Gorven. Luke is now the head of a contracting firm and is busy with tearing down all buildings that were involved with Pantheon and replacing them with other buildings that will house different kinds of businesses. The Pantheon tower has finally been torn down and everything associated with it destroyed. The city is slowly recovering from the grips of the past and moving towards the future.
However, things start getting strange one day as Luke prepares to build a new children's hospital and an accompanying senior citizens facility.
"Hey Luke, look at this. I found it this morning."
"What the hell? How did you get this?"
"I found it while I was preparing for work."
"Wow, thanks for this."
Suddenly, an explosion occurs in front of them causing all the workers to fall down and fly in the air. Luke runs out and helps all his workers to safety. He then comes face to face with a grotesque creature that was responsible for the explosion.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me. Sam, give me my belt."
"Right."
"I don't know who you are, but you're not welcomed here."
"Well, well, tough talk from a human."
"Yeah, well we'll see about that. Transform!"
"Banana!"
"Lock On!"
"Banana Arms!"
Baron fights against the strange creature but is thrown around like a rag doll. He tries to stab it, but the creature dodges his attack and then pulls out its sword. The creature slashes Baron, causing him to power down.
"Sam, give me my other belt!"
"Right, here you go!"
"Alright, let's do this again! Transform!"
"Lemon Energy!"
"Lock On!"
"Soda!"
"Lemon Energy Arms!"
Baron then tries to attack the creature with his Sonic Bow but even with his new form he cannot sustain the attacks. He then tries to initiate the Lemon Rider Kick, but is thrown to the side. The creature walks away and scoffs at Baron.
"Pathetic. I expected more from you. Alas, I was wrong. But I promise to restore what you have destroyed. I promise that."
The creature leaves and Baron helps his workers who were visibly shaken from the attack. Baron is worried that he will have to face against the creature again. Detective Watkins shows up and has his officers scope out the area.
"So Luke, I understand you were attacked?"
"Yeah. We need to find out what we're up against."
"Good. I know that you were concerned about the forest again so come with me. We need to make sure that Pantheon left nothing behind."
"I thought you guys were done with Pantheon."
"We were, but I think you might be able to help us with the matter."
"I guess so. Guys, I gotta go, please take care."
Luke and Watkins drive to the former location of Pantheon which has been turned into an empty lot. The building was completely dismantled and now all that remains is just flat land and the area where the tower once stood. The car stops near the former location and they exit the car. They walk around the area to find any clues as to how the monster even showed up. Suddenly, Luke finds a maturing fruitlock that was left behind.
"Hey Watkins look at this."
"What is that?"
"This is a maturing fruitlock. It's what we use to transform with. This should have disappeared along with the forest."
"Well, maybe it was left here."
"I guess so. Anyways, I gotta go see Sarah about this. Let's not tell anyone about this."
"You got it."
Later on, Luke heads to Tirdiorn Corporation where he meets with Sarah who is now the CEO. Sarah hugs Luke and notices the fruitlock in his hand.
"So, how did you find that?"
"I found it where Pantheon once stood."
"Weird, didn't Cade move the forest with him?"
"Yeah, but this one was left behind. By the way, did you hear about the monster that I fought off?"
"I did. How did that monster show up?'
"I don't know, but what I can tell you is that whoever it is, he wants to bring the forest back. Take care of his lock until it matures."
"Okay."
Luke continues his work at his firm finishing up the children's hospital and the neighboring senior citizens facility. He keeps focused on his work while trying to make sure that the monster does not return again. Hours pass and no incident occurs so as the work day draws to a close he allows the workers to return home and he closes the site. However, before he can leave, he is met by the very monster that has come to attack him.
"Well, well, it seems we meet again."
"Who are you?"
"You killed my brothers and now you must pay for what you did. I will do to your world what you did to mines."
"I don't think so. I won't let you try to take this world again."
"You will have no choice. Look around you."
Several trees and several bushes appear out of nowhere and begin to attack Luke. He ducks and pulls out his Driver Belt.
"Well, I guess I have to kill mother nature now. Transform!"
"Mango!"
"Lock On!"
"Mango Arms!"
Baron uses his Mango Mace to try to fight the monster but the monster just counters his attacks and throws him aside. Then the monster transforms into an ordinary human wearing a suit.
"What? You're human?"
"Yes, does that shock you?"
"Who are you?"
"I am the man who will have all the power."
"Wait, I know you. You're the guy that was the head of Pantheon. How can you still be alive?"
"Don't worry about that. Transform!"
"Dragon Energy!"
"Lock On!"
"Soda!"
"Dragon Energy Arms!"
"You can call me Tyrant."
"Well, I guess I have to kill you now!"
Baron and Tyrant clash and fight each other as the bushes and trees begin to envelop them. They are now in lush vegetation and continually fight. Baron is severely outmatched and cannot fight back. Suddenly, Kamen Riders Dragon Slayer and Knuckle arrive to help him.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"We're here to take out the forest. We can't let it grow beyond this place."
"Okay, but be careful."
The two Riders attack the trees and burn down the bushes to prevent the forest from spreading any further. However, Baron is not able to defeat Tyrant even as Tyrant's fruitlock begins to take him over. And then, the fruitlock just starts to glow and Tyrant is in extreme pain. The entire lock takes over his body and he returns to his monstrous form again.
"I get it now. You can't control the lock, can you?"
"Aaaaah, do not mock me!"
"Guys, you should get out, this is too dangerous for you guys."
"Come on. Let us help you."
"Exactly, we're here for you man."
"Fine!"
The trio try to fight off this strange creature, but they are all defeated even as Baron switches back to his Banana Arms form. However, Sarah shows up with a brand new fruitlock.
"Luke, here!"
"What's this?"
"Take it, you're gonna need it!"
"Right!"
"Lock On!"
"Ringo Arms!"
"Come On!"
Baron transforms into his new Ringo Arms form and fights against the monster. The other two Riders help him and they manage to over power him. With Baron's new form he jumps up and performs his final attack to defeat the monster. However, the monster is still alive and charges toward them. However, the three riders perform their final attacks to destroy it for good.
"Thanks guys for showing up, but we have to get rid of all this crap."
"Uh dude, it's all gone now, look."
The vegetation dies off and disappears from the site. The Riders look around at confusion and wonder why any of the events happened. However, the monster that was destroyed rises up again and this time delivers a devastating message to them.
"You may have destroyed me, but I promise to kill you and I promise to bring back the forest!"
Baron and the trio pursue his spirit, hoping to stop him from bringing back the forest. Meanwhile, back at Julian's mansion, he looks at his Genesis Driver Belt and his Melon Energy Arm and wonders what to do next. However, that question is answered when the monster arrives on the driveway. Julian heads there and sees the monster then transform into a human.
"What? I can't believe it. How can you be here Jack?"
"Well Julian, you will pay for what you did to my company and I promise to get my revenge on you."
