KRC: Let's enjoy a preview for an idea that I've been working on in my head for the past few weeks. Please, kickback and enjoy. This will be the first preview of a set of four previews. But I do intend to make more depending on the responses I get. Who knows? I might make this a regular thing and these ideas can become part of the main storyline.
We do not own Koihime Musou or Kamen Rider Gaim. They belong to their respective creators. We just thought this idea would be fun and decided to give it a try. If you like it, then that's great. If you don't, then we tried. Anyway, come along and let's see what you think.

"THE GREAT WARLORD: NOBUNAGA"
The desert was hot, humid and would soon become the stage for a battle. As dust and sand was blown in the wind, three figures stood in the middle. The one who stood in the centre of the trio was Nagata Oda, flanked by his friend Iori Tokugawa and second cousin Karasu Oda.
Iori was looking through a telescope which he later handed over to Nagata.
"How many?" Nagata asked as he checked through the telescope.
"A couple of hundred, give or take," Iori answered. "He's there too."
"Yeah, I see him," Nagata frowned as he found 'him' in his sights.
"Think we can handle it?" Iori asked as he adjusted his SengokuDriver.
"Do you have any doubts?" Nagata asked his fellow Armored War God.
"With you in the lead, no." Iori shook his head.
"I'd never doubt you, Naga-kun," Karasu replied confidently. He smiled at his masked second cousin before his expression turned serious and he looked straight ahead.
It was the three of them against an entire horde of Inves. From what they could see so far, it was a very large horde of Inves. Most of their numbers composed of the common Elementary Inves of the blue, green and red variety. A fair amount of Berserk Inves were also part of their ranks and made up a minority. It was a frightening yet awesome sight to behold.
"Minna, ikuze!" Nagata commanded as he activated his Orange Lockseed.
[ORANGE!]
Iori and Karasu activated their own Lockseeds as well.
[BUDOU!]
[RINGO!]
Posing dramatically, they loaded their Lockseeds into their SengokuDrivers.
[LOCK ON!]
"Henshin!" the Shoku Faction Armored War Gods called as one as they pushed down their Cutting Blades over the Lockseeds, slicing them open.
[SOIYA! ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE!]
[HAI~! BUDOU ARMS! RYU, HOU, HA-HA-HA!]
[COME ON! RINGO ARMS! DESIRE FORBIDDEN FRUITS!]
The metal fruits that served as their armor descended from individual portals which opened above them. The metal fruits then dropped on them to conceal their heads via the cavities under each fruit. Energy rippled around their bodies, enveloping them in their bodysuits. The metal fruits finally disassembled, folding onto their bodies to form their armor.
Nagata had transformed into a blue samurai clad in orange armor. Held in his right hand was a scimitar with a blade shaped like an orange slice. Hanging from the left side of his belt was a katana with a gun built into the guard.
"Armored War God Gaim! Arriving on Stage!"
In this form, he was known as Armored War God Gaim of the Ultimate Sword. Among the Armored War Gods, he was one of the best swordsmen. Alternatively, he was known as the Blue King of Shoku.
Iori had transformed into a Chinese warrior with purple armor worn over his green suit. In his right hand was his default weapon, a gun that was out of place in this ancient era but felt right at home in his hand.
In this form, he was known as Armored War God Ryugen of the Ultimate Eye. Among the Armored War Gods, he was the best marksman. Alternatively, he was known as the Demon Dragon of Shoku.
"Armored War God Ryugen! I always hit my mark!"
Finally, Karasu had transformed into a red and silver knight with spiked shoulders and bat-like fins framing her helmet. In her left hand was a red shield that served as a scabbard for her sword. She gripped the hilt and swiftly drew her blade.
"Armored War Goddess Idunn! I'll splatter your guts!"
In this form, she was known as Armored War Goddess Idunn of Forbidden Desire. Alternatively, she was known as the Black Winged Shinigami. She got the name for killing bandits and always being followed by crows wherever she went.
With their pre-battle catchphrases announced, the three of them charged towards the horde.
Naturally, the Inves rushed immediately towards the Riders as they carried Lockseeds, a more delicious and potent version of their natural food source. The horde instantly swarmed the three Riders, fully intending to take their Lockseeds and would not let anything or anyone stop them.
And the three Riders did not hesitate as they engaged the enemy. Despite being vastly outnumbered, they were not completely outmatched.
Ryugen showed off his marksmanship as he fired his signature weapon, the Budou Ryuhou, at the Inves. Purple energy bullets hit the Inves, knocking them down. This just provoked them further as they attacked Ryugen with greater ferocity.
Ryugen was struck across the chest, causing sparks to fly upon impact. He grunted and glared at the Inves as he struck them by using his Budou Ryuhou as a club. He also used a combination of punches and kicks to strike back at them, while also firing his gun at them, before he pushed the Cutting Blade down over his Lockseed.
[HAI~! BUDOU SQUASH!]
Energy gathered around his right leg and flared with a violet radiance. He leapt into the air and executed a flying kick, destroying several Inves in his path. He followed up by hitting his Cutting Blade three times.
[HAI~! BUDOU SPARKING!]
He aimed for the sky and fired a beam that took the shape of a Chinese dragon. It roared as it reached the apex of its flight before it exploded, causing purple energy bullets to rain down on the Inves. They exploded brilliantly as they were obliterated where they stood.
He turned his gaze towards the remaining Inves before him and twirled his gun before he took aim and fired at them. He let out a shout as he charged at the Inves, intending to put them down in the most brutal fashion.
Gaim found himself surrounded as he wielded both his Daidaimaru and Musou Saber. He slashed with both swords, knocking the Inves back, but still they swarmed him. Fed up with being boxed in, Gaim hit the Cutting Blade of his SengokuDriver.
[SOIYA! ORANGE SQUASH!]
Orange energy gathered around the blades of both his swords before he performed a circular slash attack. Any Inves within his reach was struck before they exploded. He finally had some breathing space now, but a slash from a random Inves sent Gaim tumbling. As he came to a stop, he growled and switched Lockseeds as he needed a bit more power.
[PAPAYA!]
As he switched Lockseeds, his Orange Arms armor vanished. He then sliced open the Papaya Lockseed without hesitation.
[LOCK ON! SOIYA! PAPAYA ARMS! CHOP AND HACK! NEVER LOOK BACK!]
Performing an Arms Change, Gaim changed into his physical powerhouse of a form known as Papaya Arms. Once the Papaya Chopper materialized in his hands, he began swinging his weapon at the Inves. The blade of the halberd sliced through the hides of the Inves, knocking them down. He spun in place, sending the Inves flying before he charged at any nearby Inves to bring the axe down on them.
[SOIYA! PAPAYA SQUASH!]
The Papaya Chopper flared up with energy as he swung it around, catching any Inves in its path. The massive blade of the weapon sliced through the Inves, chopping them to pieces before they exploded. Still, he had a lot more to deal with and decided to switch power for speed.
[BLUEBERRY! LOCK ON! SOIYA! BLUEBERRY ARMS! ALLONS-Y, EN GARDE!]
He performed a sword salute with his Berrapier and then began to glide towards the Inves. The Berrapier's thin blade pierced through the Inves' bodies, bringing them down. The Blue Gauche was also utilized as he rapidly slashed the shorter blade at his Inves opponents. He hit his Cutting Blade and it came down with a single stroke over his Blueberry Lockseed.
[SOIYA! BLUEBERRY SQUASH!]
Gaim blurred as he zigzagged around the battlefield. He left a blue trail with his speed and a trail of destruction as each Inves in his path was destroyed with a single blow. The strength of the Blueberry Arms was most effective as it relied on fast and precise strikes instead of overwhelming power. No moves were wasted as the Berrapier pierced the Inves and sent them to oblivion. If they were once humans, at least they would be able to rest in peace.
Suddenly, Gaim was sent flying as fireballs rained down on him. He tumbled along the ground and groaned. Looking at the sky, he spotted winged Elementary Inves about to come and join the party. Frowning, Gaim stuck an Inves in the head with his Berrapier and let it go so he could do another Arms Change.
[CARAMBOLA!]
After locking in the Carambola Lockseed and ducking a swing from a Byakko Inves, he hit the Cutting Blade.
[LOCK ON! SOIYA! CARAMBOLA ARMS! KIRA KIRA SUPERSTAR!]
The Byakko Inves soon learnt a very violent lesson as Gaim sliced into its face with the Carambola Stars. He continued to land strike after strike, eliciting a cry of pain from the beast. It growled and lunged at him in anger, when a random portal suddenly opened up above Gaim. Idunn leapt out of it and slammed her shield into the Byakko Inves, knocking it to the ground.
"Allow me to deal with this beast, Naga-kun. You have more important things to deal with," Idunn volunteered.
"Thanks, Kara-chan." Eyes focused on the flying Elementary Inves, Gaim threw the Carambola Stars before drawing his Musou Saber. Taking the Carambola Lockseed off his SengokuDriver, he loaded the Carambola Lockseed into the Musou Saber's Drive Launch.
[LOCK ON!]
His dual Carambola Stars flew back to him and he used the Musou Saber to bounce them back so they could ricochet off the Inves.
[1, 10, 100!]
"SOI-RYAAAAAAH!"
[CARAMBOLA CHARGE!]
With an almighty swing skyward, he summoned up a giant starfruit which burst into hundreds and hundreds of Carambola Stars. They sliced through the air, taking out any Inves in their path.
[COME ON! RINGO SQUASH!]
Idunn landed a slash through the Byakko Inves, destroying it with a single stroke. She then proceeded to attack the other Inves with her energized blade, causing them to explode into oblivion. She continued to do this as long as the energy of her Lockseed was still charging her weapon before the glow faded.
As Gaim sheathed his Musou Saber before catching his two Carambola Stars, he was suddenly struck by a blade of energy and knocked backwards. He looked up and saw his assailant before narrowing his eyes.
"I was wondering where you've been hiding, Bujin Gaim," Gaim identified his evil doppelganger. His overall shape was identical to Gaim's. They seemed so similar, except that Bujin Gaim's armor was blood red with black flame-like patterns on the chest and visor. The head crest also had sections of it painted in red. In his right hand was a blood red version of Gaim's Daidaimaru and gripped in his left hand was his own Musou Saber.
"You're mine now, Gaim!" Bujin Gaim shouted at his twin as he dashed towards him. Raising his blades he brought them down as Gaim countered with his Carambola Stars. They both crashed into each other as sparks flew from their weapons as they made contact.
The two fought furiously, ignoring the Inves around them. Gaim struck Bujin Gaim with the Carambola Stars as his blood red doppelganger retaliated with his swords. Sparks flew furiously, erupting on contact, like a welding torch blasting flames upon steel.
"Naga-kun!" Idunn cried as she saw her second cousin fighting against his evil twin.
"He'll be fine! Just focus your attacks on the Inves!" Ryugen shouted but Idunn ignored him and formed a portal to jump into. "Dammit, no!"
Bujin Gaim attacked Gaim furiously and nothing was safe. Any Inves that unfortunately found itself in Bujin Gaim's way was executed on the spot. If they ended up standing in his way, even if unintentionally, they became an obstacle for him to take down. He didn't care if they were his part of his army. They were expendable anyway.
Bujin Gaim joined his swords together before he loaded his Blood Orange Lockseed into the Musou Saber's Drive Launch. A red glow covered both blades as the Musou Saber counted up.
[1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000! BLOOD ORANGE CHARGE!]
Gaim screamed as Bujin Gaim landed several consecutive blows with his joined swords. Sparks burst on impact, repeatedly, as he kept landing blow upon blow, slash after slash, before he finished the combo up with a straight horizontal slash across his opponent's chest. Gaim went flying and his armor flashed as he was forced back into his civilian form. Nagata tumbled along the ground before he came to a stop on his back.
"Now then, Gaim. Today, I will take your life and your title," Bujin Gaim declared threateningly as he approached his foe.
While Nagata was down, a portal suddenly opened behind Bujin Gaim and Idunn leapt out of it. She slashed Bujin Gaim from behind, causing him to grunt in discomfort. He soon turned to glare at the one who came to interfere with his victory.
"Get away from him!" Idunn threatened.
Bujin Gaim tilted his head to the side before he roared and began swinging his weapon at Idunn. Idunn brought up her shield to block the rain of strikes. Nagata's eyes widened as he watched his second cousin defending him from Bujin Gaim. However, Idunn wasn't going to last long against the onslaught.
Glaring, Bujin Gaim's chest opened, revealing the monstrous hidden mouth. Sharp teeth lined the interior as multiple tentacle-like tongues were revealed. It was like he had a giant octopus living inside of his chest cavity.
The tentacles shot out of the demonic mouth and grabbed hold of Idunn's shield. They wrenched it free from her hand before they grabbed hold of her and lifted her into the air.
"Let her go!" Nagata demanded but Bujin Gaim ignored him as he started to bash Idunn against the ground. He did it over and over, causing her to cry out in pain, before finally letting her go to crash to the ground.
As Idunn groaned and slowly rose to her feet, Bujin Gaim leapt at her while hitting his Cutting Blade.
[BLOOD ORANGE SQUASH!]
Bujin Gaim's Burai Kick smashed into Idunn and she screamed as the kick connected, causing an explosion. Idunn tumbled out of the explosion and her armor vanished in motes of light after taking too much damage.
"Kara-chan!" Nagata shouted as he saw his second cousin being hurt.
"And she's the one supposed to be more skilled than you? How pathetic," Bujin Gaim scoffed as he mocked Karasu.
Nagata picked himself up and glared at Bujin Gaim. The anger he was feeling towards this evil copy of him had reached its peak. It was boiling like a volcano that was ready to erupt. It was one thing to send a horde of monsters to attack them, but to hurt his family, his loved ones, that was already crossing the line.
Bujin Gaim watched as Nagata took out a new Lockseed. It had an unusual appearance as Bujin Gaim had never seen anything quite like it before. Most Lockseeds were based on fruits and nuts, with the Lockvehicle Lockseeds being based on flowers. The casing of this strange Lockseed was black while the front looked like a purple eyeball. It lacked an ID code but did have the name NOBUNAGA around the border.
Nagata declared, "Pathetic? You'll be saying differently once I use this."
And he hit the release switch.
[NOBUNAGA!]
Nothing happened. There was no portal to Helheim opening above Nagata whenever he used a Lockseed.
"That was it? A bluff?" Bujin Gaim asked, unamused, before he charged at Nagata.
Suddenly, a small swirling purple portal opened up in front of Nagata's chest and the Nobunaga Spirit Armor flew out from it. The Spirit Armor consisted of a black chestplate with triangular shoulder pads. Purple sleeves flared out from the shoulder pads and a waist-length purple cape hung from the back. The cape had the Oda Clan symbol on it. The Arms Helmet headpiece, which sat in the centre of the upturn gold collar, was a purple kabuto with golden side decorations and a topknot that bloomed at the top. From within the shadows of the headpiece, a pair of menacing violet eyes glowed.
Bujin Gaim was startled by this phenomenon as the Nobunaga Spirit Armor flew straight at him. The Spirit Armor's arms might just be made of fabric, but they were strong enough to smack him away to give Nagata more breathing room and allow him to lock in the Nobunaga Lockseed.
[LOCK ON!]
"Henshin!" Nagata called out as he hit the Cutting Blade to slice the Lockseed open. The core image was a rifle and katana crossed together and the lid's backside displayed the Tanegashima rifle that Nobunaga mastered.
[SOIYA!]
Nagata's Gaim Ride Wear materialized over his body as the Nobunaga Spirit Armor flew towards him. It draped over his Ride Wear suit and the colorless visor filled in with a violet flash to conclude the transformation.
[NOBUNAGA ARMS! SENGOKU JIDAI NO DAI-SHOGUN (Great Warlord of the Sengoku Age)!]
In a flash of light, a purple shotgun rifle appeared in his hands. The rifle had a bayonet attached to the barrel and also a Drive Bay built into it.
This was the Nobunaga Arms' signature weapon, the Nobunagun.
Shouldering the Nobunagun, Gaim raised his other arm and pointed threateningly at Bujin Gaim.
"You're standing on my stage now."
Bujin Gaim roared and charged at Gaim, swinging his weapon wildly. Gaim used the Nobunagun to block Bujin Gaim before he twirled his firearm to knock the blade aside and then aimed the rifle's muzzle at Bujin Gaim's chest.
He pumped the rifle and fired point blank at Bujin Gaim. Sparks flew as Bujin Gaim staggered back from each shot as Gaim repeatedly fired at him. Gaim only managed to fire ten shots before he heard a click. That was the sound indicating that his Nobunagun was out of ammo. When he heard this, Bujin Gaim took the chance to charge at Gaim. However, Gaim was ready for him as he gave the Nobunagun another pump, reloading the weapon as it announced.
[RELOAD!]
Gaim leveled the Nobunagun and fired at the charging Bujin Gaim again, pushing him backwards. He continued to fire, pushing him back with each shot.
"What is this power!?" Bujin Gaim demanded as he used his Naginata to deflect the explosive shots.
"It's the power of the Oda Nobunaga!" shouted Gaim as he decided to go close quarters and dashed towards Bujin Gaim. The demonic Rider swung his Naginata at Gaim, only to be blocked by the Nobunagun. Gaim shoved the blade aside and then jabbed the butt of the gun against Bujin Gaim's chest, causing him to backpedal from the hit.
"An Oda doesn't surrender!" declared Gaim as he struck with the bayonet.
"An Oda doesn't falter!" continued Gaim as he slashed Bujin Gaim across the chest.
"And an Oda doesn't let a wrong go unpunished!" Gaim finished as he punched Bujin Gaim in the face.
[SOIYA! NOBUNAGA SQUASH!]
Violet energy gathered around Gaim's right foot as he crouched. The energy crackled around his leg before he leapt into the air and hit Bujin Gaim with an explosive flying kick, sending Bujin Gaim soaring backwards. While his foe was airborne, Gaim aimed his Nobunagun and fired at him until he fell back to the ground. He hit the Cutting Blade two times this time for good measure.
[SOIYA! NOBUNAGA AU LAIT!]
Gaim got down on one knee and aimed the Nobunagun at Bujin Gaim. His weapon glowed and projected a row of ten holographic rifles behind him. Then another row appeared above the first, followed by another and another, until five rows of holographic rifles hovered behind Gaim, totaling in fifty rifles. Including the Nobunagun, that made fifty-one rifles in total.
He pulled the trigger and all the rifles fired simultaneously, hitting Bujin Gaim with an explosive barrage.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The following explosion was massive and Gaim nodded before he went to look at Karasu who stood gaping at him. She was just so stunned at the sight, but she recovered as her eyes sparkled and she clasped her hands together in front of her.
"That was amazing, Naga-kun! You truly resemble our ancestor while garbed like that!" Karasu praised. Ryugen soon joined them when he saw the explosion. He took a moment to appraise Gaim's Nobunaga Arms.
"That's a good look for you," complimented Ryugen.
"Thanks," Gaim smiled but then his eyes narrowed at the smoke cloud as he saw a silhouette.
"What's wrong?" Karasu asked.
"It's not over yet," Gaim warned as the smoke cleared to reveal Bujin Gaim. Pieces of his armor had broken off, and he was covered in soot, but he was still very much alive.
"What does it take to kill this guy?" Ryugen quipped in irritation.
Bujin Gaim roared and opened up his chest, unleashing a disgustingly large mass of tentacles. The tentacles shot in all directions, capturing nearby Inves and drawing them into his body. Soon, all the remaining Inves were absorbed into Bujin Gaim before he closed his chest.
He then started to change as he grew in height. Not only that, but his muscles also began to grow as a result until he was now ten feet tall with the build of a bodybuilder who had taken far too many steroids.
"Looks like he hulked out," Ryugen commented as Bujin Gaim roared.
"Not a problem. He just made himself a bigger target," Gaim smirked and loaded his Orange Lockseed into the Nobunagun's Drive Bay.
[LOCK ON!]
He then pushed his Cutting Blade three times over his Nobunaga Lockseed.
[SOIYA! NOBUNAGA SPARKING!]
He took aim, leveling his firearm at the charging behemoth. He gave it a pump and took aim as orange energy gathered in front of the muzzle.
The behemoth Bujin Gaim roared and swung his fist, but Gaim was faster as he pulled the trigger.
[ORANGE CHARGE!]
The force of the shot was as powerful as a cannon, the recoil sending Gaim sliding backwards several feet as the blast from the Nobunagun punched a giant hole right through Bujin Gaim's body. The behemoth froze, stunned, before his entire body collapsed, sending sand flying. Gaim casually shouldered the Nobunagun, and turned his back to the behemoth's body as it slowly disintegrated, along with Bujin Gaim's SengokuDriver and Blood Orange Lockseed.
Gaim and Ryugen's armor flashed as they returned to their civilian forms. With another threat taken care of, it was time to go back home and relax.
"So, I'm cooking tonight. What are you guys in the mood for?" Nagata asked Iori and Karasu as they walked alongside him.
"I'm in the mood for some beef stew, actually," Iori suggested.
"Really, stew? Personally, I'd want a nice juicy steak," Karasu countered.
"Why not both? I'm feeling pretty generous tonight," chuckled Nagata. He looked at the Nobunaga Lockseed and could've sworn the thing winked at him before he pocketed it.
XXX
Legendary Hero Lockseed Data
Nobunaga Arms: This Hero Spirit Armor is summoned using the Nobunaga Lockseed. It is Gaim's Japanese warlord form based on Oda Nobunaga, Nagata's supposed ancestor. Oda Nobunaga was famously known for his attempt to unite Japan during the Sengoku period. Like Nagata, Nobunaga possessed a charisma that drew powerful people towards him, people who shared his dream of uniting Japan. As the Nobunaga Lockseed carries the spirit of Oda Nobunaga, Gaim is granted the use of the Nobunagun which is based on the rifles that Nobunaga mastered for warfare.
Nobunaga Arms' stats are balanced and superior to Orange Arms. His physical strength is somewhere above Kachidoki Arms, and he is able to jump higher compared to Kachidoki Arms due to the lighter armor. Nobunaga Arms' stats allow Gaim to fight effectively in close, mid and long-ranged combat. The Nobunagun's firepower is nearly as powerful as the DJ Gun and the built in Drive Bay allows it to utilize different Lockseeds for added power. The attached bayonet also allows Gaim to use the Nobunagun as a slashing and stabbing weapon, but he mostly prefers using the Nobunagun for its firepower. While the Nobunagun is limited to only ten rounds, the weapon can be reloaded with a single pump.
In this preview, Gaim has so far demonstrated three different finishers:
Squash: Nobunaga Kick. A basic Rider Kick (flying kick).
Au Lait: Nobunaga Army Barrage. Gaim projects fifty holographic rifles which arrange in five rows behind him. He then fires them simultaneously with his Nobunagun, blasting the enemy with a barrage.
Sparking + Orange Charge: Nobunaga Cannon Burst. After loading the Orange Lockseed into the Nobunagun's Drive Bay, Gaim charges the weapon further with the Sparking function of his SengokuDriver. This allows the Nobunagun to fire a powerful cannon blast.
It is currently unknown how or when Nagata acquired the Nobunaga Lockseed.
KRC: This is the first of my 'Heroic Spirit Lockseeds' previews. The reason I am writing this series of previews is due to my interest in Kamen Rider. I also read from the wikia the comparison between Lockseeds and Eyecons. They are pretty similar as the forms are basically armor/clothing worn over the base form suit. So, I combined Eyecons and Lockseeds to make unique eyeball-like Lockseeds which can summon up Spirit Armor that is modeled after the Parka Ghosts. For this preview, I started with Nagata/Gaim and gave him the Nobunaga Lockseed due to his connection to the warlord.
This is actually similar to something I did back in ZKD. In the series, the Zodiac Knights are based on the Advent Riders (Riders from Kamen Rider Ryuki). Throughout the storyline, they end up with upgrades. Sometimes I would adapt items from other Rider series like Faiz and Kabuto into the mix just to have something to write about. I did the same thing in Kamen Rider Showa as I gave Kamen Rider Blue Beetle weapons based on Fourze's Astro Switch Modules. So, I'm doing it again with this, by fusing two different Rider Systems, the Lockseeds and the Eyecons, and thus the Hero Spirit Lockseeds were born.
TFP: Well, here's something new. It mixes the elements of the new Kamen Rider Ghost and our Armored War Gods, but I think it's something good. Granted, this is a little short, but it's a good preview so don't go expecting a storyline just yet. That kind of fun stuff can come later. Chrome pioneered this fusion so I have to say he did an awesome job, as usual for being an awesome writer with amazing story ideas to make the fans fired up and satisfied 110%.
