KKD: And here we are folks, my first Kamen Rider Gaim story, and, it's also Pikatwig's seeing as he's co-writing this with me. Ain't that right, aibou?
Pikatwig: The first Rider story we're co-writing.
KKD: Indeed. You Toku fans know Pikatwig for doing a version of the story me and GT work on, Sonic Climax Jump (which I promise I'll get back to this summer), as well as my Sonic Sentai Series installments for Kyoryuger and the newest one, Go-Onger. So, Pika, on this story, what do you think of Gaim so far?
Pikatwig: It's way better than I originally expected, and also, this is your first Megaman story, right?
KKD: True. True, I'll give you that. Also, my interest, to be honest, is more along the lines of Battle Network and Megaman X, but since this is Pikatwig helping me and the guy who suggested it, we're going with the original Blue Bomber.
Pikatwig: Also, for you X fans out there, Zero will be appearing in the story, since Bass is...
KKD: Try not to spoil anything for us, okay aibou? After all, Gaim is only 2 episodes in as of this writing.
Pikatwig: Okay. I suppose. Anyway, my OC character Tune will be filling in the role of Mai, since Mai holds Kota to big standards, and has a crush on him.
KKD: For those of you who don't know who the heck Tune is, check out our other co-op project on Pikatwig's profile, ...what was it called again?
Pikatwig: Sonic & Megaman: Adventure! Tune is in the story, and she has a crush on the good ol' Blue Bomber.
KKD: I see. And if you readers want to find out more about this new Robot Master, then check out Sonic & Megaman: Adventure! From Pikatwig Studios, only on Fanfiction dot net, available today! ...Did I just do a commercial?!
Pikatwig: I have no words… so, with Tune being in Mai's role, that means a lookalike of her will have to be in the mystery girl's position.
KKD: Right. With that stuff out of the way, let's get started with our Disclaimers and the story.
DISCLAIMERS: Neither of us own Megaman, Kamen Rider, or anything else mentioned or used in this story. They are owned by Bandai, Toei, Capcom, Archie, and their respective owners. But Tune belongs to Pikatwig… and MC DJ Man, a character who first appears here, belongs to KKD.
KKD: And you probably noticed I stopped with the warnings regarding SOPA. Frankly, I'm sick of writing it up, and who knows if they're really back. Anyway, let's dive into this fruit basket of riders, shall we?
Pluck the Fruit of Heaven.
Our attention is drawn to a strange jungle where many fruits grew, and the plants rose high into the sky. In the midst of this, is a building that towers above the jungle. On the ground is a Kamen Rider on a horse, followed by many kaijin, and a female Rider to his side. The male rider is seen wearing a blue bodysuit, golden armor, and seen on his torso and helmet, armor resembling an orange on his shoulder, chest, back, and even his visor look like an orange slice above the silver mouthpiece and the below the golden samurai/shogun helmet kabuto, and on his waist was a driver with a knife-mechanism and a lock "sliced" open to reveal an orange while his weapons were clearly swords, and the blade even looked like an orange slice. The female Rider next to him is in pink armor, around her Driver is a bow holster, her main body had a strawberry theme, the main helmet looked similar to the Rider she's standing next to, but was pink and the area around the eyes is red, and the sword is shaped more like a bow, having a bit more of a sengoku archer theme..
That the world may be dyed in your image.
Is that the glory you seek?
Across from them is another Rider on his Rider Machine and several more kaijin and a Kamen Rider that blends in with the kaijin. This obvious rider was mostly red and white, having a similar design to the rider across except his looked more like a medieval European knight, and his added armor resembled a banana, even the eyes, torso, and the side horns were yellow and resembled the fruit, he also head a yellow scarf around his neck. The rider who was hidden amidst the kaijin almost had the look of an acorn and a viking, but with his color blending with the background, it was hard to tell or much else.
Is that burden one you can bear?
If seen from the sky, the blue and orange rider's forces were mostly blue, assembled in a position that looked like an orange slice while the red rider's kaijin were assembled to form a more banana-like shape. And watching them from not too far away were some green kajin forces, assembled in the shape of some type of melon. Standing on a small hill were two more Riders. The one rider sitting down looked the most like a samurai except for his white bodysuit, golden armor, and the melon pieces that made up the majority of his armor, and his visor looked like it was yellow. The one standing next to him, who quickly kneeled down was a mostly green rider, also having golden armor, but his warrior theme was that of a Chinese warrior, and his fruit theme was that of a grape, as purple was prominent in his suit, even the eyes were purple. The grape Rider glanced over at the melon Rider, but the melon Rider gave him a look that said "wait."
Know this, the lives of men are not ours to control, not even our own!
Nearby, a female figure was lying on the ground before waking up. She had long glowing blonde hair, she was wearing all white, and her eyes were… unusual, one being blue and one brown. She walked over to the teams of Kamen Riders, and looked at all of them.
We cannot defy the inexplorable current of fate that carries us.
Suddenly, the flower that was in the female's hair suddenly flies out via the wind, making her gasp, and landed right in the middle of the battlefield.
Suddenly, the orange Rider shouted, urging his forces forward, leading the charge on his horse, with the other Rider by his side, trying to stop him at first, but then charging alongside the rest of the forces.
But, what if fate itself called upon you...
While the banana Rider, and the Rider that blended in charged as well. The melon Rider and grape Rider both stood up, looked down, and readied themselves for action.
...to change the world? To turn the course of the future? You cannot defy your fate!
The forces of the Orange Rider and Banana Rider continued to fire at each other, avoiding any of the riders charging to lead the way.
But the fate of the world is in your hands!
The two Riders got closer and close to each-other, with the melon and grape Riders watching from the distance, and the two charging Riders got closer and just readied their weapons…

Lock 1: Henshin! An Orange from the Sky?!
Back in the present, we turn our attention to inside one of the largest shopping malls this side of the Pacific. There were people walking all over the place, many of them being aided by robots of some kind. Then, our attention turns to a young boy who is being comforted by someone older than him.
"You've lost your mommy, huh?" the young man asked the boy.
The young boy looked up at the other person, who stood to be kinda tall, he had messy black hair, green eyes, is wearing a blue jacket, a teal t-shirt, blue shorts, and blue shoes.
"Well, sometimes life sucks, and you wanna cry, but you can't let it beat you!" he said encouragingly. "You gotta take it on like a game. If you cry, that's it. You lose. You win by finding a way out without crying. No matter what it is, everyone has the strength to put up a fight. So, what's the first thing you're gonna do?"
"Find my momma…" the young boy answered.
"Yosh!" the young man smiled; this man is actually known as Rock.
Later, the two were walking around trying to find the young boy's mom.
"Okaa-san!" Rock shouted as the boy yelled "Momma!" "Mom, your son's lost!"
The two continue to look around.
"Keniichi!" a woman shouted, running up from behind them, getting the attention of the young boy before said boy ran up to her before they both hugged, proving their mother-son relationship. "Thank goodness!"
"You see that? You totally won!" Rock smiled.
"Thanks mister." the boy said smiling.
"No problem," Rock smiled back before walking off ahead to a moped of sorts with something in the back holding something else.
"Ano…" the woman responded, getting Rock's attention. "Sorry, were you delivering something?"
"Yeah, but it's fine. The curry's still nice and warm!" Rock answered, putting on a helmet before boarding this bike and driving off.
"HELLO ZAWAME CITY!" a voice shouted from the radios throughout this town, the main building of which looked a lot like the building seen amidst the jungle before; anyway, this voice belonged to a Robot Master who looked like a rapper with a turntable on his head, headphones over his ears, green eyes, and a traditional DJ's clothes with a black hoodie, blue jeans, and sneakers, broadcasting live from the radio station. "IT'S MC DJ MAN COMING TO YOU LIVE!"
The scene then shifts over to a stage, with a dance team in the midst of their routine. Many people and Robots walked over to see and cheer the group on, in it were all Robots, Robot Masters to be precise. Specifically there were 4 males and 2 females, the first of these males looked like he was wearing red armor mostly as it was seen on his boots up to his knees, his gauntlets from his wrists to his elbows, most of his torso armor, and even his helmet. But there were green, white, and yellow accents, blocky shoulders, a spiked helmet, and his face had blue eyes. But today, he also wore some blue torso armor on top of his normal gear.
The second male of the team looked like it had a bee theme with his yellow and black coloring in stripes, stinger on his helmet, and triple honeycomb chest. The one thing that stood out in his yellow was the blue eyes. Today, his honeycomb parts were also colored blue.
The third guy looked like he was an eskimo in a blue suit used for winter/tundra travel and blue eyes.
The fourth male in this team had a mostly purple attire, with blue eyes, a blue triangle above them, a headpiece resembling an old alarm clock with the bells, and even has a clock on his chest. Today, his gauntlets and his clock were also blue.
The first girl is wearing a red dress with a pretty large white collar with blue buttons, red boots with blue edges, a blue jacket, blond hair with a green ribbon in it to hold up her ponytail, and green eyes, who just so happened to be Rock's younger sister, Roll.
Finally, a young girl, who was kinda short, was wearing a teal jacket, similar teal boots, a violet skirt, wearing a blue hat, had blue eyes, and black hair, was looking around and finally found a big computer mounted into the wall.
These six are part of the dancing group of "Beat Riders" known as Team Gaim, and they were pulling of some incredible breakdancing moves as the music played on and on.
"This one goes out to all the Beat Riders out there cuttin' up the concrete! It's blue skies and sunshine again over Yggdrasil Tower! Here we go! Time to get your feet on the fiery beats bumping through Zawame City!" DJ Man announced, as our view scans throughout the city, showing much improvements in technology, and yet everything seemed to have the Yggdrasil logo on it, from credit cards, to the school buses, to the hospital, even the garbage truck had them.
Team Gaim continued dancing, with the two girls doing the most complicated moves out of the bunch, the girl in teal jumps up, and does a few mid-air spins, and then the girl in red, gave her back her hat that flew off of her head a moment ago. Suddenly though, the music stopped, much to everyone's surprise.
"What the?" the group asked confused, along with a few audience members.
Then, the group turned to see two people there, one of them having turned off the music. The first of them had the most red, with yellow accents on his chest and joints along with yellow Vs on his chest and head, along with a silver scarf; this guy had the disc of the music.
The second man there was a robot master seeming to have the ninja motif with dark blue armor on most of his body, white joints, a fishnet as part of his chest, a shuriken attached to his head, and a red scarf around his neck.
"Ah man! Not those Baron creeps!" the girl in the teal jacket said annoyed. "What's your problem, anyway?!"
"Why must you guys show up?" the male with the clock theme groaned.
"Sorry, but Baron's taking this stage," the man in red answered, getting a huge reaction from the crowd.
"We know, we know, these streets ain't big enough for the both of you!" DJ Man spoke over the radio. "But that's no excuse to roll around butting heads all over the place! So when you wanna know once and for all who's got the most, you settle it no doubt, no fuss with a couple of these babies!"
For those watching via video, DJ Man showed them what he was talking about, holding up two lock-like items with each having the image of a fruit on the front along with a small number on them as well. The lock in his left hand showed the image of an orange with the code "LS - 07" on it while the lock in his right hand had a banana image as well as the number "LS - 08". But these weren't ordinary locks.
"Lockseeds!" DJ Man finished, labeling what they were.
"You wanna go?" the Robot Master in red scoffed, showing off his own Lockseed that had the image of a pinecone with the code "LS - 01" on it.
"No problem," the girl in the teal jacket answered, holding up a Lockseed that looked like it had a sunflower seed image on it along with the code "LS - 00."
"C'mon, Tune-san! We should call Elec Man," the male in the eskimo-style outfit responded.
"I can handle these goons myself, Ice Man!" the girl, Tune, snapped, forcing the eskimo-dude, Ice Man, off.
"Um, why do we have to fight, I mean, Rock started Team Gaim, and Blues started Team Baron!" the girl in red stated.
"Oi, you! Don't call our leader 'Blues'!" the Robot Master in red responded. "His name is Protoman!"
"He left us, Roll," Tune reminded the girl in red, Roll, in a sad tone.
"Oi, we gonna battle or not?!" the red Robot Master asked.
"We will, Quick Man!" Tune yelled as they held out their Lockseeds and popped the locks open.
"Pop one of these locks and call an Inves to do the dirty work in style!" DJ Man explained as a stadium made of light appeared before the group before something weird happened; two zippers appeared in the air on either side of the stadium before pulling open to reveal some kind of forest on the other side as two strange creatures emerged, Inves Warriors that looked like some sort of crysalis monsters that were about action figure sized; Gaim's Inves Warrior had blue in it's color scheme while Baron's had red. "Keep winning, build respect, and you'll be a real champ in no time! OK, rock to the beat, Riders!"
=BATTLE START=
And so, the two little monsters began to fight. Due to their bulky upper bodies, they mostly swatted each other with their hands, and Gaim's seemed to have an advantage in a grapple. Then, Baron's Inves kicked it off.
Meanwhile, in the crowd, or way past it, the ninja Robot Master, Shadow Man, was waiting for some sort of signal. Quick Man, the red Robot Master with the Lockseed, gave him a nod, and then Shadow Man looked at Tune's right hand, and aimed a Shadow Blade toward her.
"You've got him!" Tune encouraged her summoned Inves when…
Shadow Man then threw the Shadow Blade, and the weapon suddenly hit the back of Tune's hand, one of the spiked points running right onto her hand, making her drop the Lockseed, she falls to the ground in pain as the Shadow Blade flew back over to Shadow Man. However, the sound of the Lockseed falling quickly got her attention.
"Huh? Wha-?!" Tune gasped before something seemed to go wrong with the Inves.
Team Gaim gasped as while Baron's Inves was down, their own Inves did something unexpected and burst through the barrier closest to them, roared with a short mutated head, and then began to charge. Team Gaim then started running, with one of them accidentally kicking the Lockseed away from the fight.
"Hey, baka, don't you know you don't let go of your lock during a match?" Quick Man taunted as Shadow Man walked back over.
"Tune, we gotta move!" Roll yelled helping Tune up, seeing that her hand got hit, and was bleeding out oil.
This also prevented Tune from accessing her Sugar Buster, meaning she couldn't fight off the monster. Tune could only groan as she joined Roll in running away, but she had her eyes on her Lockseed.
Nearby, Rock was driving his curry moped by the stage and saw just what was happening. Especially when people were running all over the Lockseed Tune used. But as she was about to grab it, her Inves suddenly stared at her.
"Time to help out," Rock noted as he pressed something on his arm and he was suddenly covered in blue armor from head to toe, leaving only his face exposed.
With that, Rock, now Megaman, focused again, he then searched through his internal archives and found the Hornet Chaser, the light blue areas on his suit turned yellow, while the normal blue turned black. He tried to fire the hornets at the Inves but they did nothing, forcing him to switch back to the Mega Buster.
Seeing the blasts impact off the Inves, Tune and Team Gaim looked over to see who fired the blasts and saw Megaman.
"Ganbare, Nii-chan!" Roll shouted as Megaman kept firing at the Inves who came closer to him, and at the same time Quick Man and Shadow Man just watched in disgust.
"Oh, the Blue Bumbler!" Quick Man said annoyed.
"How can Protoman be related to him?" Shadow Man added.
They were recalling when they got their butts kicked by Megaman in the past as they watched him battle the Inves. However, no matter what he did, he couldn't defeat the Inves.
"Nii-chan! The Lockseed! Get the Lockseed!" Roll shouted to him.
"I'm on it!" Megaman shouted, rushing for the lock that was still on the ground next to Tune.
The Lockseed by this point was damaged big time, the most noticable damage being the slash mark across the seed image. Rock managed to pick up the Lockseed and press a button on it to unlock it, thus summoning the "Zipper Portal" back near the Inves who then retreated back into it before the zipper closed and vanished. Megaman then locked the Lockseed before checking it and seeing it was beyond repair now.
"Rock?" Tune asked, as Megaman took off his helmet, letting a small wind blow by, and into his hair.
"You okay, Tune?" Rock asked as the other members of Team Gaim walked over to him joyfully. "Oh! Minna-san, you guys okay?"
He then turned back to normal, smiling at his friends.
"You called your Inves off first," Quick Man shouted, getting the team's attention while the Robot Master summoned the "Zipper Portal" for his Inves behind it. "Which means we win by forfeit, do we not?"
At that point, the Inves looked back at the portal before "sighing" and jumping back through.
=YOU WIN!=
"Quick Man, Shadow Man." Rock said annoyed.
"Hey it's the little Blue Bumbler!" Shadow Man began.
"Yo, the boss-man says hi." Quick Man added in.
Rock then knew who they were talking about; "boss-man" refers to his and Roll's older brother, Blues/Protoman.
Later, Tune was storming off home with Rock and Roll behind her, Rock having to haul his moped with him.
"Tune!" Rock called out before finally placing his moped down to catch up with her.
Tune closed her eyes, and turned away from Rock.
"Hey, you forgot your hat!" Rock called out, holding out the hat Tune dropped.
"Urusei! Just leave me alone!" Tune snapped, surprising Rock & Roll. "Rock you're the one who called Beat Riders dumb kiddy stuff. So go back to being all responsible and adult!"
Rock looked at her in shock.
"So just leave us alone!" Tune yelled, grabbing Roll by the wrist and walking away, Rock not noticing a small tear form on Tune's right eye.
But then another Robot Master walked up to them. This one was a male, had yellow boots, a red bodysuit, dark purple armor, a yellow mask that had a lightning spark above and between the eyes, and he also had a blue vest on with the Team Gaim logo on the back.
"Sugar-chan, Roll! Are you two okay?" the Robot Master, Elec Man, asked.
"I'm sorry, Elec Man," Tune apologized. "You got me this Lockseed and I screw it up…" Tune started, showing the damaged Sunflower Lockseed.
"And now Blues' team has our stage." Roll added on.
"How many times do I have to tell you to wait for me if anything goes down? You know Team Baron doesn't fool around," Elec Man replied.
"I can't call you for everything, Elec Man! You've got things to do…" Tune started to defend.
"Come on…"
"I'm sorry!" Tune bowed.
Elec Man then looks behind Tune and sees Rock standing there.
"Hey Mega. Long time no see."
"Yo. What's up, Elec Man?" Rock waved.
Elec Man then looked over at Roll, and then back over at Rock and Tune.
"Hey, I'll take Roll back home. You two, stay here, okay?" Elec Man asked.
The two nod, and then see Elec Man and Roll walk away.
"So…. do you hate me Tune?" Rock asked.
"No! I could never hate you," Tune replied.
"I thought…."
"Look Rock-kun. When you left, it really hurt me inside," Tune began, pointing to where the heart is. "I don't hate you, I just miss hanging around you. Just… we haven't talked in months, and seeing you… something in me just snapped!"
Rock looked at Tune, and took her uninjured hand.
"I'm still your friend. And I'm sorry for not talking to you for a while," Rock told her, as he pulled her into a hug.
Tune got up and walked away, and then Elec Man walked over to Rock.
"So, you saved not only your sister, but Sugar-chan as well back there, didn't you, Mega?" Elec Man asked Rock.
"OH MAN!" DJ Man responded as he broadcasted the battle earlier. "WHEN THE HEAT TURNED UP, TEAM GAIM'S REP JUST COULDN'T HOLD ON! WHICH MEANS THEY FORFEIT, BABY! OH!
After that, people watching were then given a poll to see who deserved the most points in the Inves game, Team Gaim or Team Baron. And sadly… Team Baron was getting a landslide of the votes.
"BARON'S JUST RANKING IN THE VOTES HERE! AND GAIM'S LOSING POINTS LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS! IT'S GONNA BE HARD TO PULL THIS ONE BACK!" DJ Man finished.
Meanwhile, at Team Baron's place, the two Robot Masters from earlier, along with the rest of their team, were laughing at how the other teams were dropping below theirs in terms of points in the Inves game. The other members there included Air Man, Gravity Man, Top Man, and Skull Man.
Air Man was an odd Robot Master as most of his body is taken up by the giant fan in the middle of his chest. Otherwise, his main body is blue, with yellow gauntlets and boots. He also had red eyes, and a green scarf that had to be made into a headband due to his lack of neck.
Gravity Man had mostly red armor, large shoulders, some boots that looked like they had coils around the ankles, while gloves, a silver belt with a G buckle, some green decorations on his chest, a meter in the center of it, and his head looking like it had nodes on top and the sides for his ears. He also had green eyes, and the Baron trademark scarf, his being white.
Next there's Skull Man, who actually had skulls on his shoulder and one for his helmet, his main body being black while his armor was the white of a skeleton. He had normal white boots with yellow decorations on the front, but his torso looked like a rib cage of sorts with a red jewel in the center, and due to Baron's rules of scarfs, he's wearing a black scarf.
Finally, there was Top Man, whose head looked like the top part of a… well… top. One top of his black bodysuit was orange armor that seemed bland except for the yellow part on his chest and belt, white gloves, wheeled boots, and had purple eyes. And due to the signature of Baron being the scarves, he was wearing one colored purple.
"We did it!" Shadow Man cheered as the team hollered in their victory.
"Piece of cake," Quick Man added with a chuckle as the team turned to the stairs and see their leader walking down, revealing himself to have a gray bodysuit, a red belt, boots, gauntlets, and a red helmet with some sort of white decoration and sunglass lenses over his eyes; he also wore a purple jacket over his armor and a yellow scarf around his neck, the scarf that started the rule for the team all wearing scarves.
"Hey Protoman. Check it out, we're steamrolling those Mega Brats!" Air Man yelled.
"Team Gaim?" he asked. "Is that news? The weak will perish, and the strong will survive." he said walking down. "Such are the rules of nature."
"...What he said!" Shadow Man smirked as the team continued to cheer, except for Protoman.
"Hear that Toppy? He'll cut you loose soon!" Quick Man said humorously.
"Shut up! I'm one of the best dancers here!" Top Man replied.
"Gaim can't beat Baron!" Air Man said smugly.
Protoman sighed, and then walked away.
"... How were Roll and my little bro?" he asked, turning over to Quick Man and Shadow Man.
"Oh them? That sis of yours is fine, we didn't harm her as you requested. And the Blue Bumbler? He showed up and helped save his former team from the Inves," Quick Man answered.
"An Inves got loose?" Protoman asked.
"We don't know what caused that girlfriend of that Bumbler to drop the Lockseed," Shadow Man said.
Protoman gives a simple nod, and then walked away.
Back with Team Gaim, their base was more like a… garage to be honest. And they were all sitting around moping about their loss. Roll then walked in, the base only being a short walking distance from where she and Rock live.
"Hey guys…" she said, trying to be upbeat.
"We're not in the mood Roll." Ice Man told her.
"I still can't believe those Baron thugs…" Hornet Man groaned.
"If Rock were still here…" Zero sighed.
"You're still going on about him, Zero?" Tune asked.
"Well think about it. He did bail us out," Roll reminded.
"Man, why'd he have to go and quit the team?" Time Man sighed.
"Wait, Roll, why can't you and/or Tune try to convince Rock to come back?" Hornet Man asked.
Roll then looked around, the thought having never crossed her mind before. Tune sighed, and then looked at a picture where she, Roll and Rock started Team Gaim.
"Rock-kun…" Tune said under her breath.
Roll glanced over at her friend, and then left to head for home, hoping to get back before Rock.
Meanwhile, a greater distance from the base, Rock and Elec Man were at a juice bar known as Deal Juicers, people began to walk in and out. Rock noticed a TV and DJ Man on it. He recalled actually aiding in the idea of creating such a Robot Master, and helped a little in building him, but they only considered each other friends… to bad DJ Man was so loud and busy these days.
"Beat Riders Hotline's always looking for comments and clips from our audience! Send us anything, anytime! If you see a hot battle going on downtown, or…" DJ Man rambled on before Rock's attention was taken back by Elec Man.
"It's a different street from when you took off," Elec Man sighed as a random Met walked over with fruit smoothies, and handed them to the two Robots.
"Everyone's big into the Inves Game now," the Met sighed before walking back to the bar.
Rock sighed, and then looked over at a corner, and sees an all too familiar face, talking to a human boy. This face, despite now wearing much more black on top of his white and orange armor was still clearly a face Rock knew and battled before, and he could tell just by looking at his orange head and the clippers resting on top of it. This was Cut Man.
"See anything you like?" he asked the boy as he was showing him images of Lockseeds for sale on an mPad tablet. "How about this one?" he offered, pointing to a sunflower Lockseed on the tablet that Cut Man held.
"I'll take it!" the boy smiled.
"Good choice for starters," Cut Man nodded, reaching into a large case next to him before pulling out a glass case that contained a Sunflower Lockseed. "That'll be 50 Zenny."
"The city is crawling with Lock Dealers," Elec Man sighed to Rock. "Some new characters entirely, some old faces like Cutty over there."
The boy pulled out a wallet, and took out five 10 Zenny Bills, and then left with the Lockseed. Elec Man then continued.
"And the team rankings might as well be a big list of who has the most Lockseeds," Elec Man added to what he said a moment ago.
"It's sad to see, really," Rock noted before staring at the Robot Master turned Lock Dealer.
"You think?" the Met from a moment ago asked, not knowing Rock wasn't looking at him. "Better to have you kids battling in a game than fighting for real. Nobody gets hurt that way."
Cut Man smiled, and then an annoyed Rock got up and walked over to him.
"I can't believe, out of anyone to be a Lock Dealer, it's you Cut Man!" Rock responded.
"Good to see you too, Rock. So, how's the cut an' go world of being an adult going for ya?" Cut Man asked, doing a scissor pun, that he's typically known for.
Rock just groaned at that.
"It's going okay… I guess… but tell me. Why'd you end up becoming one of these Lock Dealers?" Rock responded.
"Not many people ask for my particularly sharp skills these days, so I had to do something just to pay my bills," Cut Man answered. "And I saw you and your girlfriend earlier."
"Tune is not my girlfriend and you know that!" Rock yelled, a "blush" on his face.
"Whatever, I see things are going sour for you two, how's about this?" Cut Man replied, pulling out a box with yet another Lockseed in it, but this one was different.
This Lockseed was different from most, seeing as while most Lockseeds Rock saw were mostly nut-themed, this one had the image of a Blackberry on it. And Rock was kinda surprised about this. The lock's number was "FB - 02", and in a case like the other one.
"Since we're old pals, I can cut the price in half for ya, say… 80 Zenny?" Cut Man offered.
Rock gave an annoyed look at Cut Man.
"Hey! It's just an offer. And since this gift is for your little girl, how about I sweeten this deal with a second one?" Cut Man offered, pulling out another Lockseed in yet another case, but this one was more like the Blackberry Lockseed, this one having a Blueberry one it with the number "FB - 01." "How about it, Rocky?"
Rock sighed, and began to think, since Tune's Lockseed was destroyed, he could replace one of them.
"160 Zenny? I don't think so." he said, hoping to play his cards right…
"True, true. How about this, you'll only have to pay for one. The other will be free, sound like a deal?" Cut Man asked.
Due to Rock's part-time jobs, he was able to make enough Zenny to not only pay rent and his own food, but he had a few extra to pay for this deal; 100 Zenny to be precise.
"Deal," Rock nodded, opening his wallet and handing Cut Man four 20 Zenny bills before taking the Lockseeds.
"Have nice day, Rocky. Oh and tell Roll that I said hi," Cut Man smirked as Rock nodded and walked back over to Elec Man.
"Where were we again?" Rock asked.
"The Metty over there was saying it was safe for everyone to stick to playing this game so they don't get hurt, Mega," Elec Man answered.
"Oh right… but still, they easily could, though," Rock responded. "I mean, what are those Inves things, really? And who even put these locks into circulation in the first place?"
Elec Man sighed, and then handed a paper to Rock.
"Take it," he insisted.
"What's this?" Rock asked after storing the Lockseeds he purchased and took the paper before seeing just what it was; Dr. Albert W. Wily, his former nemesis supposedly turning over a new leaf, at the opening ceremony for the Yggdrasil Corporation.
"It's him," Elec Man sighed, making Rock growl before looking up at the TV to see a commercial for the company.
"New life for a new generation. Welcome to the planned municipality of Zawame City. The Yggdrasil Corporation's blueprint for a better life," the commercial spoke as Rock decided to leave, angrily.
"Going home already?" Elec Man asked.
"Yea…" Rock sighed.
"Let Auto know I said hi," Elec Man added.
Rock turned and nodded at him, before he left.
It was around sunset when he finally got home. He sighed, and pulled out his key for the door, and walked in.
Inside, Roll just sat at the table with her brother, looking at the Lockseeds he purchased.
"So you're saying Cut Man sold you these?" Roll asked.
"Yeah. And what's worse… look at this!" he said, showing her the picture.
"Still wonder if he really did change." Roll sighed.
Rock walked over to near a fireplace and looked at a picture, the last picture of him, Roll, Tune, Blues and Dr. Light all at the same time.
"You miss him?" Roll asked.
"What do you think?" Rock responded. "The only thing he left us were the plans for his last Robot Master… some big plan called X. And then it disappeared, we at least know X is fine but…"
"...I'm sure things will be fine, Nii-san," Roll sighed.
"Still, what has gotten into you, Rock-san?" a third voice asked as the two turned to see yet another robot, who was currently preparing Rock & Roll's dinner.
This robot looked the most robotic, having a large round body painted yellow, blue, and green, with two red orbs on his chest, metallic tubes for limbs, white hands and feet (which each had green parts connecting to the limbs), yellow shoulders, and a head with bolt-ears, large red eyes, and a large metal angular jaw.
"Hey, Auto…" Rock started. "What does it mean to be an adult?"
Hearing this made Auto chuckle a little, seeing how far his late-creator's favorite Robot Masters were actually growing.
"According to my data-banks, it means being able to look after yourself," Auto answered while peeling a carrot. "And you're already paying your rent and buying your own food. By my definitions, you're an adult now, Rock-san."
"Looking after myself is about all I can do, though," Rock sighed as he put some groceries away. "My hands are full with work. I've had to drop just about everything I used to really care about to do it. How's that any different to how I was living before?"
Auto simply shrugged, before turning to Roll "And Roll, you may be younger than Rock by a month, that doesn't mean you shouldn't start to ponder your future too. But I will say, Dr. Light would be proud to see you two now."
Roll gave an annoyed look at Auto, but nodded as Rock decided to finish what he was about to say.
"But seriously Auto… I want to henshin! And I know you'd look up the translation for that and say I can 'transform' already," Rock replied, activating and deactivating his armor to prove that point. "That's not what I meant. I mean transform into someone strong enough to do everything."
"You're not going to just wake up one day and be a completely different Robot Master, you know. Life is not easy, kiddo!" Auto responded, giving Rock a quick punch in the gut before handing him one of the unpeeled carrots. "Just take things slow, and you'll become the adult you want to be. Now get peeling."
Rock sighed at this as he helped to prepare dinner.
After Rock was done, Roll looked at her brother and then sighed, giving him what was his old Team Gaim hat, that he gave to Tune when he left.
"Oh… I need to remember to give this back to her later," Rock said, sighing, and then he walked into the room he and Roll shared.
The room was a rather simple one with cream-colored walls, a simple desk with a desktop on it all plugged in. On the same side was the bunk bed the two slept in, which was a simple brown one, each mattress having differently colored sheets to identify who had which bunk. Then in one wall was a closet where they keep some changes in clothes. Rock sighed as he grabbed some pajamas and walked off to the restroom as Roll got ready for bed.
Later, Rock sat on the lower bunk, which was his, and then looked around the room. He sighed, and then looked up.
"Rock, can you come back to the team?" Roll asked.
"Huh?"
"We want you back on the Team," Roll told him.
"Roll-nee-chan… I would love to, but…" Rock started, stopping as he was unsure of what to say next.
Roll then peered down at her older brother, surprising him.
"We all miss you! Will you at least think about it?" she asked.
"Okay…" he replied.
With that, Roll smiled before returning to her part of the bunk bed with Rock sighing, thinking about what he did to help support his family such as going to work at a curry restaurant, mostly deliveries, and doing a building painting job. He sighed, and looked over at the window, thinking back to when Dr. Light was still alive, but after he passed away, Rock and Roll were close to being sent to a scrap yard, when Auto defended the two, but at the cost of Rush and Eddie. But luckily, they still had Beat, who flew into the room, and perched onto a small perch in the room.
"Ever since Dr. Light, our dad, died, Auto has been our guardian," Rock recalled. "But, after what we all lost, with poor Rush and Eddie getting sent to the scrap heap, I don't want to impose on Auto anymore. I need to become an adult as soon as I can. But…"
As he thought of these events and his job, Rock looked out the window again and thought of Tune and the rest of Team Gaim, all Robot Masters who decided to become Beat Riders, but then he also recalled Zero being an odd one, seeing as Wily was the one who created him, yet he rebelled almost the second he was brought online. But he also wondered if Tune was missing the "Good ol' days" as well.
Next day, at Deal Juicers, business was going like it normally does, with Cut Man sipping some grape juice as Elec Man of all bots walked in to his section of the juice bar.
"You wanted to talk to me, Cutty?" Elec Man asked, making Cut Man chuckle a bit.
"Good to know you still like those nicknames, Elec. But to get to the point, your team's in a bit of a pinch, isn't it?" Cut Man inquired of Elec Man. "I could offer you something to turn the tables…"
"What? Another new lock like the ones you sold Mega yesterday?" Elec Man asked, sitting down.
"No. This," Cut Man answered, showing Elec Man something he never expected, something that looked like a black and silver belt buckle with some knife-handle on the left side, the blade being yellow.
That afternoon, Rock was finally leaving from his job when his phone started ringing. He sighed, and then looked at it, seeing a message from Elec Man.
"Elec Man?" he wondered before reading the message. "'I got my hands on something good. Come and check it out.'"
Rock then scrolled through the message to see an image of the strange buckle.
"What's that?" he wondered.
He then began to look around for Elec Man, but had no luck finding him, but instead he found both Tune and Roll looking around for something as well.
"Oh, Tune-chan! Nee-chan!" Rock said happily.
"What're you doing here, Rock?" Tune asked, seeing as this was close to the edge of town, specifically in the old factory section of it by some old warehouses.
"Elec Man called me out here," he said, pulling out the hat that belonged to Tune.
She looked at it, and then simply smiled.
"Thanks Rock." she nodded.
The three walked around for a while, but found nothing. Roll walked over away from the two for a short while, and she found something she did not expect.
"Nii-san! Tune-san! You should come look at this!" she called out.
The two walked over and saw the odd plants around the area.
"What are these?" Tune wondered.
"Girls," Rock responded, getting the girls' attention as they turned to see one of the zipper portals to the forest the Inves come from.
"This is like…" Roll began, taking out one of the new Lockseeds Rock gave her, and even pulled out a Strawberry Lockseed that had the code "FB - 03" on it. "An Inves portal…"
"But, we're the only people around here, who could've opened it?" Tune pondered.
"Well where do you think this leads?" Rock asked as he entered the forest, turning into Megaman to be safe.
"Hey! Nii-san!" Roll called out, still holding on to the three berry Lockseeds before pocketing them and following Rock.
Tune followed the two in, seeing they were in another world entirely. This place was like a jungle, but it was not like any jungle the trio had heard of or seen before.
"I've seen odd places before, but nothing like this," Megaman said aloud.
"What is this place?" Tune wondered.
"Hey, don't ask us," Rock and Roll answered as they walked around some more, looking at the scenery. "Tune, can't you activate your Sugar Buster yet?" Roll asked.
"No. It's still needs more time to recover," Tune answered before seeing something, and pulling Megaman and Roll behind a tree.
"What's gotten into you?" Megaman asked before he was hushed by Tune and they looked ahead to see was Tune saw.
Inves warriors, and they seemed to be examining the fruit of one of the trees before trying to eat them. However, it seemed clear that the fruit weren't ready as the Inves tossed them to the ground.
"Aren't those Inves?" Megaman whispered.
"Gotta be," Roll & Tune nodded.
Tune then nervously tried to take Megaman's hand, but failed.
"Then… this place is some kinda Inves nest?" Megaman gawked.
As they walked around, Megaman turned his attention to some fruit growing on one of the tree's vines. This looked like some sort of purple/magenta fruit, with the interior of it almost resembling lychee. Out of curiosity, Megaman plucked two fruits from the vine. Roll then noticed something, the two Inves getting closer to them.
"Tune, Rock-nii!" Roll panicked before seeing the two Inves notice something and ran off, unknowing that something else was lurking through the foliage as Megaman stared at the fruit he held.
"It looks so delicious…" Rock thought to himself as he was close to taking a bite out of one when...
Tune then noticed the Inves, but this one wasn't like the little warriors; this one was about the size of a full-grown man and somehow resembled a white tiger with it's lower torso and long claws, but the majority of it's upper body was covered in some kind of jade armor. Tune then snapped Megaman out of his thoughts, the two then ran, and managed to hide, Roll somehow catching up to them.
"I think we lost it," Megaman panted as Tune and Roll tried to catch their breath.
"Rock… I'm kinda scared," Tune said nervously, taking his right hand.
This was major news to the Blue Bomber, who despite being Tune's best friend, and briefly battle partners, he's never seen this side of Tune before: scared, hesitant, lost and confused.
"Tune-chan… don't worry, I won't let them hurt you. I promise!" Megaman said, giving Tune a small smile.
She hugged him, and then he hugged her back.
"Rock-nii… Tune-chan… look!" Roll gasped, breaking them out of this moment before looking at the ground to see… the belt buckle Elec Man showed Megaman via the phone?
And it was just resting on the ground like it was waiting for someone to pick it up.
"This is what Elec Man wanted to show us, isn't it?" Megaman asked, pointing to the item when they approached it.
"Then Elec Man must have come here too… but where is Elec Man?" Roll pondered aloud, as Megaman walked over and picked it up.
"It's some kind of belt buckle…" Tune said.
"Yea… it kinda does look like one," Megaman noted as he accidentally placed it on his waist, making the buckle sudden sprout a yellow belt that wrapped around his waist before connecting, suddenly making the profile image of some kind of shogun/samurai kabuto appear on the side. "Whoa!"
Then, Megaman remembered something and looked at the hand that held the fruit he plucked, seeing they were glowing.
"Eh?" he gawked bust the glow vanished as the fruit became... Lockseeds?! "EH?!"
A good look revealed these Lockseeds were an Orange Lockseed and a Strawberry Lockseed, similar to Roll's, except it had the number "LS - 06" on it.
"What the?! Are those-?!" Tune gawked.
"Wait…" Roll began, taking out her Strawberry Lockseed and comparing it to the one Megaman has. "Lockseeds?"
"Then... does that mean that all these fruits...?" Megaman pondered as they looked at the fruits on the vines.
"How do Lock Dealers like ol' Cutty get the Lockseeds?" Roll pondered aloud.
"So… if these are Lockseeds, and the Inves eat them, do you think us summoning the Inves is because they're drawn to the Lockseeds?" Tune added on.
Suddenly, the Byakko Inves from before appeared, making the trio flee again. They do manage to find the zipper portal and get out, but the Inves followed them out!
And so the three tried to escape in the old factory, thinking unfamiliar turf may deter the Inves.
"Both of you, hide! I'm the only one who can fight them!" Megaman told the girls.
"But Rock, your Buster doesn't harm them!" Tune replied, as the Byakko Inves arrived.
"Just get out of here, I'll try and stall it while you try and find someone, anyone!" Megaman responded.
Tune then tried to fire her Sugar Buster, but she ended up being shocked with electricity, getting harmed.
"Tune-chan! Get out of here GO!" Megaman told her and Roll, firing the Mega Buster at the Inves.
However, like the Inves warriors before, the Buster had no effect! Megaman gained some distance from the Inves, using some impressive parkour moves to outmaneuver it.
'If I only had Rush!' he thought annoyed, but the Inves caught up to him, Megaman then tried a Charged Shot, but it did nothing! The Byakko Inves picked him up by his neck, and then tossed him back, when he landed he started to bleed oil, and then angrily glare at the Inves. 'This is bad! If can't stop this thing, innocent lives will be taken! I can't quit, for the city, for my friends, my family! Tune-chan!'
Then he stared at the Orange Lockseed in his hand and then the buckle around him. Megaman then figured there was only one thing to try... activate the Lockseed.
=ORANGE=
To Megaman's surprise, a Zipper Portal appeared above him. However, instead of an Inves, some type of Orange appeared above his head. The Inves looked up in confusion before Megaman placed the Lockseed into a position on the buckle before locking it into place.
=LOCK ON!=
It then began to play a type of Japanese music as Megaman tried to figure out what to do next.
"What the? This?" he asked himself, holding the knife part, and then slicing the orange.
=SEIYA!=
Megaman then looked up, only for the Orange to drop on his head, coating his own armor with new dark blue & gold armor.
"Eh?"
=ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE!=
"Wait! I'm an orange now?!" Megaman gawked, his normal head still being inside before it was covered with a samurai/shogun kabuto as the orange suddenly formed armor for his new form by unfolding from his head and folding into place.
"Eh? EH?!" he exclaimed.
"Tune-chan, look!" Roll yelled, as Tune looked up and saw a warrior stand in Megaman's place.
"Rock turned into a Kamen Rider?" she said.
"Kamen Rider?" Roll asked.
"A Kamen Rider is a hero of justice that battle all kinds of monsters, and I think, Rock would make a great one!" Tune answered as the rider Megaman became was tackled by the Inves before being put into a tight grip.
"Are you sure about Rock-nii being a good Rider?" Roll asked.
"Yeah," she replied.
"Hey! Stop! That Hurt!" Megaman shouted, throwing the monster off him.
"Whoa! I can fight him like this?" he smirked under his helmet and tried to fire his Buster, only to see it didn't work! "Eh? Why can't I fire?"
Megaman then finally noticed the sword with a blade like an orange slice in his hand, the Daidaimaru. Before he could use it, he was attacked by the Inves again. The Inves threw him over near where Roll and Tune were hiding.
"Rock-nii, you okay?" Roll gasped.
"Yeah."
"Still I think you'd make a great Kamen Rider!" Tune said.
"I'm a Kamen Rider?" he asked.
"Hai."
Megaman then saw another sword holstered on his belt and thought of something.
"You two stay hiding, I'll handle the Inves!" he told them, and he rushed over to the Inves, and used the other sword along with the orange one.
"Here goes nothing!" he yelled, charging forward, and attacking again, but the Inves jumped into the air, and onto a building.
"Are you serious?" he yelled. "Then I'll just follow!"
With that, Megaman made a single leap up to where the Inves stood, only to just grab the rail. However, the Inves only swatted him off and onto the ground.
"Ow... JUST YOU WAIT!" Megaman shouted before running up the stairs, and there was quite a few stairs to climb. "Waiting's over!"
But then, then Inves kicked the Robot Master turned Kamen Rider. Megaman just slashed until the Inves had him against the rail, and then Megaman saw something else about the blade jilted sword now in his right hand.
"What's this?" he wondered, pulling some yellow thing before he pressed something and the sword ended up firing at the Inves, forcing it back.
"Oh yeah!" he said happily, readying the blade's gun power again, and firing at will… until he ran out after like four or five shots. "Wait, I'm out already?! COME ON! None of the Master Weapons ran out of power this fast!" he yelled annoyed.
Then the Inves tried to attack again, forcing Megaman near a narrow pathway until he noticed some kind of port at the bottom of the handle of the orange blade (the Daidaimaru), and saw it was just right for the bottom of the Muso Saber (the blade with the gun) to fit in.
"Wait, do these…?" he pondered before connecting the blades at the points, and indeed, they connected into a double-bladed spear of sorts, the Daidaimaru Naginata Mode. "Whoa! They do!"
Despite this revelation, the Inves charged in as Megaman managed to maneuver around the platforms and was able to use the new weapon to his advantage. However, it wasn't long before the Inves ran off again.
"Quit running! Bass and Protoman don't run off this often! Yeesh, he's worse than Quick Man and Air Man put together!" Megaman shouted.
The two combatants continued to climb the structure, the Inves having some advantage over the inexperienced Megaman. Eventually, the Inves was able to throw Megaman over the railing and down to a lower level of the structure. It was a painful fall, but then… Megaman saw something… or someone on one of the stairwells near him. The person was female, and wearing a white dress, she had blonde hair, and then her eyes were… unusual, one was blue, the other brown, and even more odd…
"Eh? Tune-chan?" he yelled confused.
"Be warned," the girl started to speak, as if informing Megaman of something. "Your choice now will turn the course of fate."
"Tune, is that you?" he asked standing up, but he got no answer.
"Continue down this path… and there shall be no turning back," she said walking down a small flight of stairs. "You will have to fight until the bitter end, until the world is dyed in your image."
"I don't get the dyed into my image part… but if you're asking me if I'm in or out, you better believe I'm in Tune-chan! I've protected the world more times than I can count! I want to the keep the world safe. I want to keep you safe!" he said boldly as the Inves jumped down to their level and growled at Megaman, who just readied his weapon.
At the same time, "Tune" just sighed as she unlocked the Lockseed without closing it.
=LOCK OFF=
She then removed it from Megaman's belt, as the new rider looked confused before she placed the open Lockseed into his hand. He then quickly attacked the Inves and then jumped down, and noticed on the Musou Saber is a Lockseed port! Figuring out what to do, he placed the Lockseed into the slot and locked it in place.
=LOCK ON=
=ICHI (1), JYU (10), HYAKU (100), SEN (1000)!=
"Wait, Tune-chan, what do I do next?" he asked, but noticed "Tune" wasn't there anymore.
Then, he saw the Inves recover and fire a blast of energy before Megaman spun his Daidaimaru Naginata mode, creating a temporary barrier before the Muso Saber blade began to glow.
"Eat this!" he roared, slashing the air, the effect slashes hitting the Inves and encasing it in some kind of energy orange, containing an explosion that would eventually kill the monster.
Then, the Daidaimaru blade flash, ready for the finisher.
=ORANGE CHARGE=
With that, Megaman charged forward and sliced the "orange" in half before the energy fruit split with the Inves' halves in each before the full explosion went off, releasing Orange slices in the air somehow.
"...That was certainly one of my more… unusual battles," Megaman admitted as he removed the lock from the Muso Saber, and put it back onto the Driver before closing up the fruit part of the lock, reverting him back into his normal Megaman form.
"The Sengoku Driver, the Lockseeds, a hero has been born. Best of luck to you… Gaim," "Tune" said again, but Megaman didn't see her anywhere.
"Sengoku Driver?" he asked himself.
As he looked at his hands, Rock looked up as Roll came out of her hiding place along with… Tune?
"Rock-kun, you were amazing! I told you he'd make a great Kamen Rider! I told you!" Tune told Roll.
"Tune?" Megaman whispered to himself. "Then what just…?"
"Rock-nii, you okay?" Roll asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." Megaman replied, as Tune hugged him.
"You were amazing!" she told him.
He then thought for a moment, and said. "Well, Megaman's gonna take another name today!"
"Eh?" both Roll and Tune said confused as Megaman removed the Lockseed from his driver, removed the buckle, and reverted to Rock. "I'm not just Rock, or Megaman, but also…" he paused, and showed the Lockseed to the two. "Kamen Rider Gaim!"
"You mean Mega Kamen Rider Gaim?" Roll corrected, adding in the mega to reference Rock being Megaman.
Tune then looked at her and says "Mega Kamen Rider Gaim? That sounds kinda odd. So does this mean…"
"You're back on the team?" both Roll and Tune asked, but Rock simply shrugged.
"I still can't believe… I actually henshined," Rock whispered to himself staring at the Orange Lockseed.
(As the scene ended, Gaim's current Lockseeds, Orange and Ichigo, came across the screen, and they closed along with a zipper with the Gaim Symbol on it)
Jikai, Mega Kamen Rider Gaim!
Rock: Auto, I seriously henshined!
Protoman: Your strength is the only thing you can rely on.
Rock: I have to use the power to protect those I care about!
=PINE ARMS! FUNSAI DESTROY!=
Lock 2: Deathblow! Pineapple Kick!
Go-On Red: Becoming a Kamen Rider is amazing! You beat the Byakko Inves with no trouble! But, who was the mysterious girl?
Kamen Rider Gaim: Who knows. But that battle with the Gariak was amazing! Engine-O was cool, but will those other two become Go-Ongers?
Go-On Blue and Go-On Yellow: Jikai Lock 2!
Kamen Rider Baron: Jikai GP. 02!
*Go-On Red, Go-On Blue, Go-On Yellow, Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider Baron stand on Engine-O with a Gaim flag in the background. Go-On Red and Kamen Rider Gaim shake hands.*
Go-On Red and Kamen Rider Gaim: Super Hero Time! See you later!
KKD: And thus ends another Update Sunday, and the first one where Pikatwig helps out on the whole of it, and not just one half. How's it feel to help me work out the entire Update Sunday, aibou?
Pikatwig: Amazing! Also for those curious, I came up with the Super Hero Time intro and outro for these, and I liked them, you?
KKD: Absolutely! In fact, we'll keep the general ideas for these. However, since Gaim's opening seems to be changing each episode, you'll have to edit one part when we do get to Lock 2.
Pikatwig: Okay. Also, for those who don't know about Tune, she's a Robot Master created by an old friend of Dr. Light's, Dr. Tara Blair, making DBN. 081: Sugar Woman aka Tune.
KKD: Out of curiosity, why chose that number for her? 081 I mean?
Pikatwig: It continues from Megaman 10, the last Robot Master being 080.
KKD: Makes sense. Anyway, before we close off, I'd like to add on something I created during my Decade story author outro, Rider Requests! Here, I tell you about the progress of some stories and poll related to the riders I chose, and I also request for help as needed.
Gaim: I learned that the Gaim Riders can access forms of other riders even if it isn't by show default. It's too early to ask, but do you think we should include original forms based on what would happened if some riders used other riders' lockseeds?
Decade: Still looking for help with official riders there and by that, I mean what their original identities are.
W: Poll update. For riders it is Kiva with 4, Kabuto with 3, Hibiki, Blade, Decade, and Fourze with 2, and finally Ryuki with 1. As for the worlds, the results are as follow= Avatar the Last Airbender has 4, Transformers, Toy Story, and The Incredibles are tied with 2, and GaoGaiGar, Mega Man X Command Mission, NiGHTS, and Elfen Lied all have 1. Make sure we have at least one with 5 points before we move on, minna!
Wizard: Same as what I said in Decade's story: "I'll need more character ideas for both Phantoms and potential riders. Follow the format below for more details."
KKD: As with my Sonic Sentai, if you wish to have your Sonic OC help out in my Sonic Rider ideas, follow the format below:
Gender:

Rider/Kaijin Info: (Describe the Rider/Kaijin here if it is OC)
KKD: Just remember that like with Gaim here, and Double in WBXKH, not every rider story I'll post will be a Sonic X-Over, and yours wasn't Sonic, then I apologize, but if it is, congrats. And with that out of the way, I'd like to thank you all for joining me and Pikatwig on our team-up Update Sunday Super Hero Time. We'll see you next time, and… care to say it together, aibou?
Pikatwig and KKD: Jaa ne!
